The workforce in Northeast Ohio is exceptional. If man ever thought of it; it can be built here, in Northeast Ohio.

Every inventor needs a safe haven to get started; manufacturers need a marketplace where they can sell their ability to build stuff; marketers need products to serve demand; lawyers need Inventors to advise, and so on.

This is a working community of innovators; this is a great gene pool to claim as your home.

The process people of Northeast Ohio are simply spoken folk; these members of Garage Inventor Live know-how to advise you well. Just take a look around your home and you'll see their work —the pipes, the screws, the steel, the rubber, the circuitry, the bus, the car, the roof, everything under the sun, except the sun, of course. Let's simplify. Northeast Ohio manufacturing makes our life work —everyday— and they've been doing it for more than a hundred years.

At Garage Inventor Live, you'll quickly understand that we treat you as the only authority in your world. To get started at Garage Inventor Live, the only person you need to trust is yourself; for the other stuff we earn your trust by the virtue of our work. 

If you choose to engage help, you’ll make the experience of turning your ideas into cash much easier. Getting expert help with your invention is defined by deliverables and our new product development system, the Garage Inventor Supply Chain™. Following this process makes it easier for you to self-organize and evaluate your progress and for us to know you "get it".

Fee-based services: Yes, we have them.

This site is a learning opportunity for those seeking to go solo as an inventor, work from home, or add some extra income. It is also a new business development center for process experts.

The fee-based services we offer are on a pay-as-you-go basis. After joining, you can work alone or work out a comprehensive agreement with a project manager. Hiring a project manager seems to work best for those who like focusing on developing ideas and are less interested in the day-to-day operations of running a business.

 

The good news for the innovation industry is that Garage Inventor Live is committed to helping Inventors and manufacturers alike act in their own best interest, a fundamental requirement of genuine collaboration and good business relationship.

The bad news is not all your great ideas result in a business opportunity. Quoting one of Canada’s leading innovators, Alan Cornford, “It takes 3000 ideas to make one product”. For the inventor whose idea proves commercially viable, you’re on your way. With this process you'll understand you must leave your ego at the door. 

Through the expert resources available at Garage Inventor Live, you'll met specialists in your field, along with legal and engineering advisors, who meet the criteria of good asset management, ecologically sound manufacturing, and socially responsible business practice.

Garage Inventor Live is a community of manufacturing process people - OEM manufacturers, contract manufacturers, engineers, model-makers, marketing professionals, patent attorneys, accountants, investors and so on; these are the folks you will need to turn your ideas into production-ready orders. 

To be considered investment-worthy you will need to demonstrate a knowledge of business culture, an understanding of manufacturing, and a track record of being a responsible citizen.

And for those of you just getting started, Inventor Square might be a good place to start. This online showcase is where you can make a little money and improve upon your work with real time feedback.

Many of our featured Inventors have patent-pending products, but no market. Inventor Square gives you the opportunity to see where the rubber meets the road and improve your commercial offering along the way.

Inventor Square is a user-generated content showcase. Each inventor has full authority over disclosure of your idea and your product featured in this showcase.

Please make certain your intellectual property rights are protected, if applicable.  Garage Inventor assumes no responsibility for your invention or the protection of your idea. 

You can go at sales alone, or you might choose to work with a retail consolidator who by contract can take care of product fulfillment and customer service.

You have lots of options.
