Will Idea Buyer “buy” my “idea”?

Occasionally there is confusion over the name of the company, Idea Buyer. The company’s name has more meaning, than a literal assumption. In short, no. Idea Buyer does not buy ideas.  Idea Buyer does, however, provide opportunities for an idea to be bought.

Within every element of Idea Buyer, there is an end-goal for an inventor entrepreneur to sell or license their idea. The online marketplace and product development services are the main aspects of the company. Both are platforms for an entrepreneur to utilize and progress towards an interested party buying their idea.

Idea Buyer is the choice between an invention and a business.

We have heard too many horror stories about invention promotion companies from inventors that come to us after working with them. Based on what we know, Idea Buyer is very different from an invention promoter.

Idea Buyer is a company that helps inventors become entrepreneurs. We assist inventor entrepreneurs to grow their business around an idea. People with great ideas, capable of becoming a business, do not need an invention promoter. They need the Idea Buyer team. Click here to read more about promotion company differences.

If you haven’t already, we suggest looking at USPTO resources for inventor entrepreneurs. We are constantly reading new publications from the USPTO geared at helping new products.

Unlike many companies that consider themselves to be competitors of Idea Buyer, our team is very selective of the products and technologies we bring on. The company ‘s only goal is to help people be successful with their ideas. Ten years later, everyone employed at Idea Buyer stands behind this belief.

When comparing our company to others, we have recognized how different we are. Mainly, because of the people working here and their desire to help entrepreneurs. Being a part of a product’s success is what TRULY excites each of us. Every idea we work with has a team of dedicated account managers; people updating you on a regular basis and available for questions. Often, due to the level of communication, real relationships are formed, making sharing good news even more exciting! 

We are REAL people that genuinely care about your business.

Over the years, we have turned away ideas we didn’t believe had the qualifications or means to be successful. As every growing company knows, it’s never easy to turn away business. However, Idea Buyer strives to uphold a moral integrity of partnering with only those we see as a good fit.
