Prototype Pitfalls

Inventing

For many, this is the first time their idea has received any level of validation. To a novice inventor, the request to send a prototype is simply monumental. At inventRight, we have long taught our studen...

How Pitching Inventions is Similar to Landing a Big Fish

Inventing

Yesterday while fishing, I realized that inventing products for different industries is a lot like fishing. I grew up fishing and I've always enjoyed watching a largemouth bass jump out of the water after my popper. Timing is everything and you have to hook 'em at just the right moment or you'll lose the fish. The largemouth bass pictured below put...

Not All No’s Are Created Equal

Inventing

When a new student joins inventRight, he or she is paired up with a personal coach who will hold their hand through our 6-month "boot camp" journey. The end goal, of course, is to obtain a licensing agreement for their product and to leave us with the knowledge and confidence to pitch future products quickly and effectively. When inventRight cofoun...

Inventors, Focus On Inventing for the Next Virus

Inventing

The coronavirus has affected the world in a way in which most of us have never seen. Years ago, my father told me the story of how he was at high school football practice when it was announced over the PA speaker that President John F. Kennedy had been shot and killed. For my father, this was a life event that he would never forget. In my life, the...

What It’s Really Like Attending a Trade Show as an Inventor

Getting In

Many years back I attended the "Super Zoo" trade show in Las Vegas, NV. Billed as the most-attended pet industry trade show in North America, I was nervous to attend to say the least. This was the first time I had ever shown my product, the Woof Washer 360, publicly. I couldn't afford a booth (not that I necessarily wanted or needed one.) I had no ...

If I Could Just Get On Shark Tank!

Shark Tank

“If I could just get on Shark Tank.” I hear this all the time. “If I only had enough money.” “If I just knew the right person then all my worries and all of my concerns would go away.” Bringing a product to market is not a money issue, and it’s not about whom you know. It’s a knowledge and experience issue, and gaining those takes time. There isn’t...
