QUESTION:
I have a patent pending for an adult toy product. This product is like nothing on the market today, and I see it being very successful. How do I find investors/manufactures to help get my patent-pending idea to the shelf?

I can only imagine what you mean by “adult” toy, but let’s not get distracted. In order to get an investor to fund your operation or a manufacturer to license your invention, you need to prove to them that it will fly off the shelf.
Think of your product as the experiment and you are the scientist who must provide proof that it truly works. You need to gather enough data to convince any potential investors or manufacturers that your product will make money for them.
The first step that I usually recommend for any new product is to do lots of usability and focus group testing. In your case, I’m not sure what’s the best approach. That said, you really need a working prototype that can be tested.
The data should include:
1) What do people think of your product?
2) Would they purchase it?
3) How much would they purchase it for?
4) How does it compare to similar products on the market?
5) Would they recommend it to friends?
6) What size is the overall market?
7) What are the profit margins?
8) Who are the distributors?
9) How do you best market it?
10) Can you point to any similar products which have done well?
etc.
You get the idea. You need to gather as many relevant data points as possible and use them to either prove or disprove your hypothesis that this product will fly off the shelves.
You may also consider hiring a third party firm to help oversee the data collection and analysis. Once you have overwhelmingly convincing data that this product is indeed all you think it’s cracked up to be, then you can start approaching manufacturers and investors.
When you begin looking for a manufacturer, target companies in your industry. It’s very hard to get a response from someone manufacturing or selling an entirely different type of product. Also, find out who invests in your sector and approach them.
I hope this helps!

Hi
my name is Hailu T. Tedla ; I am an independent inventor. the concept of my utility patented invention US8,398,100B2 is as follows. Imagine a pogo stick whose motion is up and down which could be modeled as simple harmonic motion. Imagine also a skateboard whose motion could be modeled as uniformly accelerated motion on the horizontal plain. Now if you combine both simple harmonic motion and uniformly accelerated motion as in my invention the motion imparted could be modeled as a sinusoidal wave motion very much like the motion in surfing. There for my invention is a self propelled ground surfing board.
I could not afford to make a prototype which would cost me less than $10,000 I am a poor inventor hardly making it month to month. please find some way to help me license my patent or be a financial partner.
God bless you.

I appreciate the opportunity to introduce my patented golf swing apparatus to your company. This apparatus will place your brand one step ahead of the competition.
With this apparatus you can use your full golf swing, even if it reaches a speed of 140mph, indoors at home and in the office. It could even be used at schools in a class room environment.
Advantages:
a. User friendly, transportable, small and light weight structure.
b. You only need enough space for your golf swing to benefit from the use of this apparatus.
c. On striking the ball it will indicate to you what type of shot you have just played.
d. No need to collect or look for a ball that has been hit.
I am convinced that this apparatus will put your company a step ahead of the rest and believe that leaders, such as yourselves, in the sports accessories arena always look for opportunities to gain that elusive leading edge. Here, in my opinion, is the perfect apparatus to provide the leading edge.
I will compile an additional detailed report, should your interest in the apparatus warrant, for your submission to the relevant stakeholders. All research and analysis I have been doing, indicates that this could be a mutually beneficial collaboration and this apparatus could compliment your current programs.
I appreciate you reading my short introduction of this apparatus and await your earliest response.
I need someone to invest in my patent pending product to help me get it on the market it will be the best investment you have ever made. Thank you Sheri

I have a patented invention that will insure no one ever drops another cube of ice on the floor while removing it from the container located in the freezer. Sure there are a lot of people with the dispenser in the door, but there are billions of people that still get there ice out of the freezer. A user places their glass under the patented “CHUTE” located on the front right side of the container with their left hand, and rakes the cubes through the opening, down the chute with their right hand. NO MORE DROPPED CUBES!!!
For families with more than 1, there is a rake attached to the side. Now the user can hold their glass under the chute, and by using the rake to fill their glass with cubes, it will help eliminate germs being transferred daily by ice removal. I need help getting this very needed product to market. Please call 901 581.7183
