Community of Inventors
Why join the inventor community?
The innovative products and projects that achieve success do not do so by chance. Behind every story where the entrepreneur conquers their goals, there is effort, investment, dedication, hard work, and a lot of information.
What we have learned in our invention manufacturing labs is that the misinformation among inventors is the cause of Spain having a true graveyard of patents. Almost 90% of the patents registered do not go anywhere.
So, are there or are there not inventors in Spain? Are there or are there not inventors in Miami? The disproportion between the number of patents registered and the lack of success stories is driven by the lack of information about the path of inventors.
In Let's Prototype Community of Inventors, we share experiences and useful tips so that entrepreneurs, inventors and innovation directors can make ever better-informed decisions in the process of turning an idea into a prototype and, eventually, a product.
Membership in the Community of Inventors is completely free. You’ll receive an email every Sunday with weekly tips from our team.
If you have an experience that you think might be of use to the rest of the community, just send it to us. We’ll study it and share it with our community.

How will an investor evaluate your project?
Tal y como te anunciaba la semana anterior, todo parece indicar que ha llegado el mejor momento para los inventores.
Por esta razón, me comprometí contigo a enviarte hoy, algunos detalles sobre cómo los inversores seleccionan sus oportunidades.
2023 será el año de oro para los inventores
El gran inconveniente para inventores como tú, es el acceso a la financiación privada para dar los primeros pasos.
Las puertas de los principales foros de inversión y eventos para emprendedores han estado muy cerradas para proyectos emprendedores con productos hardware (productos físicos).
Patents are NOT sold. They are bought!
Esta semana le dije a un potencial cliente: “Paco, las Patentes No se Venden. Se compran”
Me miró con cara rara y… ¡chupito!
3D printing is not the prototype
3D printing is not the prototype Hello Friend: I thought it was a no-brainer. He was convinced that no one could confuse these
It is key to study the feasibility of the invention
I know you're convinced that your invention works.
I also know that you see little interest in investing money in studying its feasibility.
Well. 70% of the inventors we work with have that blind FE because they have been fed with a couple of drawings in the patent company on duty.
Magic or engineering
As you know, I've been BLACK for a couple of weeks because of the number of semi-deceived customers that are coming to us.
Especially those that come with Utility Models under the arm.
The vast majority, with claims of innovation and descriptions, very little serious
Utility Models that DO NOT work
This week, for the umpteenth time, I had to explain to a client why their invention is NOT viable.
I am referring to inventors who already come with their Patent or Utility Model under their arm.
Useless Inventions Vs. Business Opportunities”
Today I will reveal the method we use to improve the ideas of the inventors we work with.
Who is worth your invention?
99.9% of the inventors I talk to can spend hours telling me about their inventions.
While the conversation revolves about: how to get to the functions of the invention, sensors, resistors and microprocessors... it is a pleasure to listen to them and get into the GARLIC.
What is surprising, and worrying at the same time, is the funeral atmosphere that is generated by asking:
Who is worth your invention?
Beware of Scoring an Own Goal
If you want to avoid having a goal scored against you, listen up!
Ideas Written on Cocktail Napkins vs. Business Opportunities
We all come up with ideas, sometimes in a bar, others in the shower…
The truth of the matter is that we toss and turn all night going over and over it in our heads… “If it works out, I’ll be loaded.” “And if I fail…”
Starting today, it will be easier for you to differentiate between business opportunities and ideas written on a cocktail napkin.
What Type of Inventor Are You?
Coming up with ideas is important, but managing them properly is essential.
Although it may sound harsh, I am convinced that the success of a new product depends just 5% on a great idea.
Please note that the other 95% depends on the decisions made during the course of the process.

How Much Does It Cost to Manufacture a Prototype?
This week I lost an inventor who I honestly thought would manufacture his prototype with us.
He’s screwed me over!
The deal has fallen apart for two reasons…
How Much Is Your Idea Worth?
Want to sell your idea? Already set a price?
Let me guess your answers:
“Yes” and “It’s negotiable.” I’d love to tell you that you’re very close to achieving it. But, as you know, I’m not very good at sweetening the truth. 🙂

Don’t Let Them Mess with You with the Prototype
Out of curiosity, I typed the word “prototypes” into Google.
A veritable hornet’s nest!
I hoped to learn who my potential competitors are; companies that roll up their sleeves and manufacture inventions.
Let me tell you how they measure up:
We Sell Your Patent
Do you really believe that selling a patent is so easy?
You get what you pay for. 😳
Here are 10 tips that perhaps will help you avoid some upsetting incident.
Your Invention Already Exists and Is Patented
Don’t worry! More than likely, this is not your case.
With today’s tips, I hope to spare you an upsetting incident in the future. 😇
Patent or Prototype
Here’s the first topic… The chicken or the egg? 😁
I am referring to the big question every inventor has: What comes first, the patent or the prototype?
It’s very likely that you have no doubts: “The patent.”
