We work in several ways.
We offer a no-charge initial evaluation of your product at our first meeting so
that we can offer you an objective view of the potential for success of your invention.
- At the end of our evaluation, if the product appears to have potential, and if
we believe we can be instrumental in helping you to maximize the potential for
success of your invention, we will work on an hourly consulting fee basis* or;
- We will accept an equity position in a company or;
- We will accept a combination of both consulting fees* and equity.
- In some cases our company will license products from developers.
|
We do not have a minimum fee. We charge only for the actual time you
need. To make the most of our services please be prepared with a list of
questions before contacting us. Be prepared to leave with a lengthy to-do list!
We have been in business for over 25 years. We are considered to be among
the leading experts in the U.S for product development and have literally written the
book on product evaluation.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
