DaVinci Institute's Inventor Boot Camp 2009 October 17, 2009

It all starts with an epiphany. Every invention begins with a single “eureka moment” or some “brilliant revelation” that causes the inventor to take action.

These epiphanies become the idea seeds planted by inventors around the world. But we can only wish the process was as simple as adding water and fertilizer and waiting for the ideas to spring to life.

Inventions are not just patents to be hung on a wall. They are the starting point for a new business enterprise. So, not only does the inventor have to figure out how to create a working product or device, they also have to drive it forward, creating a business model that will enable it to survive. And that’s where we come in.

The Inventor Boot Camp will help you focus on what’s important. We will show you ways to leverage your time and resources, eliminate unnecessary work, and direct your energies towards driving your product forward. And most importantly, we will teach you what it takes to become successful.



Key Strategies to Learn

-How to perform an early stage benefit/market analysis to decide in advance who your end customer will be. Once you fully understand who your customer is, only then can you begin to piece together your business model.
-How to develop a profit-centric mindset, the same thinking used by most successful inventors, to maximize your odds of success.
-How to decide if your invention needs to be patented. If it doesn’t, this can save you significant amounts of money.
-Who you should be listening to. Advice will come from many sources, but not all of it will be good.
-How to best position yourself for funding. Hear it directly from the people who have money to invest.
NOTE: People attending the Inventor Boot Camp will receive a FREE PASS to attend the Colorado Inventor Showcase.

A great invention is much more than a new product that ends up on a store shelf. Inventions are a hidden force of nature, driving our economy, building a better future for our children.

They can either make you a living legend, or leave you struggling to survive. Our goal is to help make you successful.
