The Master of Buy and Sell Brad Kugler Talks How to Get Your Customers to Find, Want and Purchase what You Have

February 22, 2017

Hi, my name is Mindee Hardin (Doney). I’m a Mom of 6 smile makers (blended style) and the inventor of Boogie Wipes, saline wipes for kids noses. I started Juicebox Moms in 2011 to offer “Juicy Grab & Go Goodness for Mom in Business.” I’m an eternal optimist, not a good cook, creative to a fault, love to go for a run and adore God tremendously. I’m so grateful for all he has taught me in my trials and triumphs to create this business and help other Moms. I start each and everyday by reading his word and thanking him – then kid kisses, coffee and Facebook. Exactly in that order (unless its one of those quirky special mornings where I get quiet coffee with my hubby before the kid kisses. heaven) Mom noise makes me happy. Silence makes me grateful. Dreams make me proud. And the fact your still reading this makes me so EXCITED for you!

I received a call from inventors Launchpad . I talked to Rick Valderrama, I talked to him about licensing my invention in 10 minutes that, I talk to him I learnt more than all the books that I read in the last five to six years at least and it's no exaggeration. After talking to him now I'm convinced it's best. to run my own company instead of licensing my product and making less thank you.

Current Client (as of 10-08-19) Journal We are a company that specializes in making accessories for technology products. Up until now, we have 3D printed all of our products, but we are now making the leap to having a product mass manufactured, and we are inviting our community to come along for the ride. After much searching, we selected Inventors Launchpad as our manufacturing partner because they are a local (Tampa Bay) company, that has good online reviews, and their pricing is very competitive. They have ongoing relationships with overseas manufacturers and specialize in helping inventors bring their first product to market. Since we have already brought products to market in the past, we are hoping everything will go even smoother for us. Current Stage: We have signed the agreement with Inventors Launchpad and have placed a deposit of approximately 60% for the first order of 10k units. We sent the initial designs and did not hear much from them for about a month. We were then advised that they were able to 3D print the models we sent, as well as convert the STL files to the STEP files needed for manufacturing. We requested a few mm of adjustments and that the logo be updated, but Inventors Launchpad counted this as a design change costing $500. Since it had been over a month, we actually had an updated design with more features. So we figured if we were already paying for a design change, we would see if we could get the better version produced. We are currently in the process of getting the updated version quoted. Pros To Date: - Their prices were some of the most competitive we saw, and they have a streamlined process that we assume developed from many years of experience. - Our sales person Rick was fantastic (and very patient) with us. He worked with us on about a half dozen quotes before we settled on our current product and was responsive and all around a pleasure to work with. - The have a portal for tracking communication and files that makes managing the project very easy. Cons To Date: - After we signed, it has been difficult to get turn around times. It has been a “we will get back to you when we get back to you” attitude. - We were advised during the sales process that we would work with the factory directly, but instead we have only been allowed to communicate with Inventors Launchpad. - We were requested to submit our final designs to Inventors Launchpad, but they would not answer questions regarding tolerances for manufacturing. - We were promised weekly calls at the beginning of the project. At almost two months into the project we have had one call with the manufacturing team. There are alot of scams and pitfalls out there, and we hope by sharing our experiences we will help other creators out there navigate this often rocky process. We look forward to answering any questions and continuing to update everyone as we move forward.

Rick's team has been great to work with. From the customer service to the sourcing and manufacturing. Highly recommended and very competitive in their pricing. I run a design team in south florida and as a Design and prototyping company I can say that Rick and his team has what it takes to get your product to market.

OMG! If but for nothing else, the knowledge and service you get from everyone here. It's worth it's weight in GOLD. I am so happy that Rick took the time at the last minute to call me back from an email I had sent. He told me he was about to walk out the door, when my message came through. That right there told me that they are here to help and make sure you get what you need and want. Stay tuned for continued updates from me. I am here to stay. Thank you again Rick, Serena and the team.

Rick was great. There was no pressure about needing money to talk first. He gave me great advice and other potential resources to start my path of being an inventor and more importantly a business. But the best part was it was free. Thanks again Rick.

Being new to the product development & invention world, I was very cautious when trying to find a legitimate company to get my product going. I’d spoken to another company that made big promises but something felt off. I dug a little deeper into that company to find out it was a common scam in the invention world. Thankfully I hadn’t spent any money yet. Then I found Inventor’s Launchpad, read their reviews & watched their videoes. After my initial conversation with Rick Valderrama I felt confident he is the real deal & has the best interest of his clients at heart. He is very upfront about everything, doesn’t make huge promises & offers tons of resources to further the project. And he’s always available to talk, he’s given me & my team so much valuable knowledge & encouragement to keep pushing forward. My invention isn’t up & running yet, due to the amount of money it will cost to start. But I know up front what the costs will be, there have been no smoke & mirrors. However, Rick & his team are still working with me to get smaller projects going to fund my major project. Nothing is easy & anything that’s worth doing will have bumps in the road, but I’m certain we’ll be successful with Inventor’s Launchpad.

From my conversation with Rick I found him to be up front and genuine. Even though his company could not assist me because of my own advancement in the process, I appreciated him telling me up front. His offer to tell some of his angel investors that might be a better fit went a long way in my feeling about his character. Thanks Rick and continued success.

My wife and I had an idea for a product but did not know how go about getting it in front of someone who would help us bring it to life. We met with Rick from Inventors Launchpad and he was an amazingly helpful and very knowledgeable of the industry we are trying to get our product into. They have helped us with manufacturing, distribution and marketing. Anyone who has an idea that they want to bring to life should most definitely come and speak with Rick and his team before hand and take advantage of their expertise! Thank you to the whole Inventors Launchpad team for all their help and we look forward to working together on our next projects!

Inventors Launchpad is the perfect solution for any inventor who wants to bring their idea to reality. We've helped thousands of startups get funded on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and have seen many mistakes and challenges faced by them when getting the actual product made and manufactured. Inventors Launchpad offers a powerful solution that provides entrepreneurs and inventors with the experience and guidance needed as well as a very affordable model to take their ideas to the next level. We have trusted them with many of our clients and couldn't be happier with their service.

The team at Inventors Launchpad walked me through the entire process. I started out with just an idea, they started with a beautiful 3D animation then turned it into actual product I can show to retailers. I wasted so much time and energy with other invention companies and they made it easy.

These guys get inventors!!! Hands down, the best program for getting fresh, relevant content for anyone who's ever dreamed of launching their own big idea. As a Patent Attorney, I have seen a lot of arm-waving and posturing in this industry, but when it comes down to actually performing and providing content, the majority fall short. These guys are legit. Keep up the good work.

When HSN asked me to lower my cost by 50% they recommended I contact Inventors Launchpad. They redesigned and manufactured my product in a way which reduced my cost by 80% allowing me to get a PO from HSN. They are truly experts and recommend them to everyone.

c tanner

Worked with them for about 3 years. They give realistic, reliable advice. Many inventors have unrealistic expectations, but I-Launchpad will gently guide them to what is reasonable and achieveable. One of my favorite parts of their service offerings: they can do lower-volume production runs. Getting things spec-ed out and built is hard, difficult let anyone tell you otherwise. I-Launchpad can get you there. Don't expect a cake-walk, don't expect "easy street", don't say "this invention will sell itself". For inventors with realistic expectations, I-Launchpad can be a great help.

I had a very constructive discussion with Rick Valderrama followed up by emails. He was very informative and helpful. He is a source of knowledge in terms of product development and commercialization. I would recommend him to any inventor looking to bring their product to the market.
