When one meets Dr. Victoria Brown, they can immediately gauge her professionalism and skill.

It all began back in 1977 when an advertiser traded units of a product in lieu of payment in cash for his advertising bill. AM radio talk-show host Bob Circosta was asked to sell avocado-green-colored can openers live on the air by station owner Bud Paxson. Circosta invited his listening audience to call him up, reserve one of the can openers and come down to the studio to pick it up. The phone lines started to light up… And on that day… 112 electric can openers were sold and the home shopping industry was born! Today, the phenomenon of TV shopping channels generates over $12 billion a year in product sales. Ever since then, businesses, companies and entrepreneurs have looked to Bob Circosta to help them find the words that work. And boy oh boy, do they work! 25,000 hours of live selling on television and 75,000 separate product presentations later and Bob has accumulated a whopping ONE BILLION DOLLARS in personal sales for entrepreneurs and businesses all over the world.

At Creative Mechanisms, we engineer ideas into reality, from the most rudimentary back-of-the-napkin sketches to a fully-functioning model. We understand that even though you've been asked for a prototype, the only thing that will really satisfy is a product, which can be packaged and put on the shelves. The market often dictates tight deadlines, because there's no point in putting out a product if consumer interest has waned. With our market-driven focus, we look beyond simply creating a working prototype and look towards getting your product on the shelves before the concept goes stale. We don't just make prototypes - we make products. Products which are designed to be manufactured in your facilities. Products which are designed to be appealing, useful, and problem-solving. It's time to stop designing in the dark, never being sure what you're going to get as a prototype, or when it will finally arrive. It's time to consider Creative Mechanisms www.creativemechanisms.com The Inventors Launchpad – Roadmap to

Andrew was born and raised in California’s Silicon Valley, where he grew up being surrounded by passionate innovators—and what he identified early on as an unhealthy obsession with venture capital. When he discovered licensing, it was like a light bulb went off. “Everyone gets excited about raising money,” he said. “But licensing is much more sexy!” For one, there’s so much less financial risk—and yet still so much opportunity. He got excited about teaching inventors how to harness the power of open innovation and continues to be as excited, if not more, today. As the day-to-day manager of inventRight’s operations for over thirteen years and its head coach, Andrew has seen it all—and coached inventors through it. “At this point, our students have experienced every scenario you can possibly imagine,” he said. “Whether it’s communicating with a company that has never licensed an idea from an outside inventor before or signing a multi-million dollar deal, we’ve done it.” He continues to be inspired by the opport

While painting his house, Chris was using a 2” brush and came to a spot that needed a ¾” to 1” sized brush, but didn’t feel like going to find the smaller brush, so he just dabbed the 2” brush into the spot, and as you would imagine, paint ended up in places that it did not belong. I saw that spot almost every day for the next several years, until one day I just thought, “ If I could have just split the brush right down the middle…”. That was the beginning.
