“I used to think—like most people—that you must have: A fat wallet, A full patent, And the perfect prototype… just to get your product idea out into the world. Since I had none of those, a lot of good ideas faded away because I figured, “I’ll never be able to afford this anyway.” Then I found Scott. He set the record straight. Turns out, all you really need is: One good idea, and the right company to pitch it to. No $10K lawyers bleeding you dry. No overpriced prototypes (that break anyway). Just a clear, step-by-step strategy that shows you how to: Validate your idea, Present it like a pro, Lock in a fair partnership with a real company, and actually get paid for it. The best part? Once you learn how, you can do it over and over with every idea you get.”
