    Has anyone here raised capital?

    QUESTION 
    with licensing I can usually get a deal for a product for less than $100 so capital is less important in this business model.

    Product / Development / Improvement

    IDEA SOURCING 
    it depends on what space/ category you are working in. Say you are changing kitchen tongs, you just need to be able to define the difference between what exists and the new thing. IP is some what black and white...is it different or not this is when it comes to physical products. Then...

    How to get a product that I have no knowledge in invented?

    To the person with multiple inventions

    I have multiple inventions on the market and I use a single LLC. But it's situational. SO you need to look at a couple of things like, what's the liability of a single product or the probability of infringement. If those things are high then you want an individual business entity for each...

    Invention Advise, Prototype being made!

    EXECUTION 
    Couple of different routes you can go... from a business perspective you want to go with a PPA (Provisional Patent Application) first. This gives you 12 months of Patent Pending Status to get designs, manufacturing, and move towards getting it on the market. If you have money to invest then...

    Invention Advise, Prototype being made!

    EXECUTION 
    @Spikeroo What is your marketing plan or your strategy to get it to market? Are you looking at licensing it or venturing it? These questions can change the strategy you should move forward with.

    Inventing and manufacturing advice needed

    It happens a lot less than people think but it still does happen. There is a strategy of filing a PPA for $70 that gives you patent pending status as you are pitching. That can usually get the conversation going if there is interest in your product most of the time you can convert that over to...

    Who has invented a product and brought it to market?

    EXECUTION 
    I know exactly what you are saying...the USPTO website submission process is difficult to pay and sometimes difficult to upload the PDF docs to. So I always use a CC to pay and they have actually great customer service line so you can call them if your payment is not going through...

    Inventing and manufacturing advice needed

    I have to be honest and point you in the right direction...I specialize in licensing so if the results you are looking for is not a licensing deal. There are far better people on this forum that can help you. One rarely used low cost strategy for validation of your product in venturing is...

    Who has invented a product and brought it to market?

    EXECUTION

    Who has invented a product and brought it to market?

    EXECUTION 
    Yes...so what is your end goal? Are you looking to license your product or are you looking to venture?
