  Honestly, my interactions with REMOVEDand REMOVEDhave all been phenomenal and my experience with Invention City overall exceeded my expectations. I first started with the Brutally Honest Review for an invention concept that I had fleshed out as best I could after having it on the brain for a few years since college. REMOVEDhad done well at researching it to the best of his ability and it admittedly ended up being turned down for an IC licensing deal at the time which was disheartening for me being so attached to my invention concept. In retrospect, I needed to simplify the concept explanation so REMOVEDcould have understood it better which was definitely on me.After that, I was even willing to give up on my invention concept altogether when REMOVEDhad reached out to me about their new offering to help refine the concept and subsequently test the market for interest, if I happened to be interesting in taking this route. Since this was so reasonably priced, I believed in my invention concept, and it gave me a much better chance for Invention City to eventually say yes to a licensing deal, I didnt have much to lose!REMOVEDwas such a pleasure to work with because he was so patient with me while we communicated back and forth for quite a while before we settled on the final concept video ready for market testing. This meant a lot since he could have just quit on me in the meantime given that my invention was tech related and he didnt have significant experience in that domain yet. But, in sticking with it and getting a market survey out there, we got a good amount of interest in the product from our joint efforts and Im excited to see where things will go from here!Either way, I cant recommend Invention City and any of their offerings enough (especially beyond the initial Brutally Honest Review) for inventors serious about succeeding with getting their inventions out there :)

  Bringing an idea to life is deeply personal and Invention City honored my vision from day one. Their integrity, business acumen and commitment to my vision inspired me to keep going. Today my sometimes delusional vision is in production-1000 units strong-and I owe so much of this to REMOVEDand his team. I am filled to the brim with both gratitude and respect for what theyve helped make possible. I highly recommend them. And to all you entrepreneurskeep going. An idea isnt rooted in your heart or head for naught. REMOVED

  Service delivered as promised and worth every REMOVED! I bought the basic $185 assessment of my invention and received a thorough review and recommendations for next steps. I was seeking a licensing offer, and, although I got a soft decline, I was also encouraged to refine my product and return with improvements and information. The explanation of why 'not at this stage of your development' made me realize that I was trying to break into a crowded market and I needed a strategy to communicate to potential customers as to why my product was significantly better than the others. I now understand how difficult this might for this product. As a result, the Brutally Honest Report has saved me much effort and money by directing me to the most important thing I need to do next if I'm going to follow this through. Thank you REMOVEDand Invention City!

  Told me they liked my invention but when I told them I had no money to move on sent me to another person saying they were authorized to do so with people with no money but asked me for money to move forward when I said I didn't have any took my idea and never got back to me I wouldn't recommend them at all wish I could leave no stars.

  There's a bit of confusion here. This inventor paid us $0 and submitted his invention for licensing consideration under our Free Invention Submission program. Under that program, as spelled out on the submission page, we only respond if we are interested (if we are interested, which is rare, we may offer a deal in which the inventor pays us $0 and we share future revenue). We were not interested. His invention submission remains protected under our Confidentiality Agreement and we are not touching it. There are different ways inventors can contact us designed to meet different needs and goals. This inventor initially contacted us through our services door, where we help inventors on a fee basis with things like prototypes, surveys, intellectual property, videos and so on. When he explained he was interested in a licensing deal and had no money, we directed him to our Free Invention Submission.We offer the Free Submission program because our primary mission is to commercialize inventions and make money WITH inventors - not FROM them. We are always looking for the next great idea. At the same time, we can't afford to engage with all inventors and give useful feedback for free. Another way inventors can connect with us for licensing and also get feedback is through our Brutally Honest Review program. This program is a great value and gives the inventor an opportunity to have a dialog about their invention (and sometimes get a licensing offer). But it's not free.

  Then why do you post if your interested and the party has no money you will pay for all expenses and help with everything free of cost you hit me back about it and obviously liked my idea but just took it and cut me out.

  Not only that you said you would help me but through a second party another company I can post the text messages on here if you like I saved them.

  We didn't take your idea. We're not going forward with your idea. Your invention submission remains protected under our Confidentiality Agreement.Going forward with an idea costs us a lot of time and money. It's a risk that we take only when everything looks great to us. When things look great we offer a deal that costs the inventor $0 out of pocket. That's not common because it's rare for everything to line up and look great. But we do that on average of about once every two REMOVEDthe same time, we also offer services - for fees - to help inventors develop and commercialize their inventions. We also offer a service - for a fee - to review inventions and give feedback and suggestions for going REMOVEDhave no money so we suggested that you submit through our Free Invention Submission portal. On the submission page we explain that we only respond if we are interested. We do not offer feedback for free because we cannot afford to. We were not interested in licensing your invention so we didn't contact you again. The bottom line is that you paid us $0. We considered your invention for licensing and decided against it.

  Inventioncity staff did a great job in all areas. Communication updates and follow REMOVEDwere consistent.The REMOVEDwas thorough and helpful. I feel REMOVEDand REMOVEDgave me their best efforts. I enjoyed the inventicator and written feedback. I was a maybe on the inventicator chart. I was provided with suggestions to improve and my weaknesses at this moment. I didn't feel the review was brutal in anyway and provided glimmers of hope moving forward. I don't feel the REMOVEDwas a NO, but encouragement for my invention journey It was worth the time and money.

  It was great working with REMOVEDand his team at Inventioncity, what I like the most about Inventioncity is the honesty and integrity they have, most business will get you in and dont care about the process and leave in limbo, but not here. You only go one step at a time, and if need be youll continue just like I did, even though I got all the way to the last point of the process and didnt get a licensing deal, I was still pleased with what had taken place, disappointed yes I was, cause you always want to see your dreams come true but sometimes you have to get that honest truth through the process and mine ended I wish everyone well with whatever they decide to do at least at Inventioncity you will not waste your time there, they give good direction and clarity as to what you should be doing, trust their process it will save you a lot of head and heart aches.
