Seeking advice: I am personally building my first prototype for a product that does not currently exist (read over 250 patents and still looking).

I want to put together small team and together engineer, patent, and sell this invention/business idea to another company. If anyone has experience doing this and would like to share it, I would be very interested to hear your story and perspective. Feel free to PM me

Not that I’ve done this before but I’m figuring leaving the nest to launch a product with a tech vendor and bring to market through other companies who will rep as their own product or co-brand if they want to collect less revenue-share.

Always up for sound-boarding and brainstorming even if we have no business working together. DM me if you want to jump on an intro call

You're going to have a far better chance at getting a company to acquire it if you're able to develop an MVP and find some early adopters/ customers. Best of luck!

I have noticed how transactional lawyers seem to have great respect for other lawyers in the field. They always talk about people in other firms as one or more of excellent, hard working, up and coming, very good with X, solution oriented, reasonable, etc.

Litigators, on the other hand, tend to talk about other lawyers in their field as sly, "a fox", aggressive, rude, difficult to deal with, overly adversarial, unethical, with "zealous" often being the most honorific term used.

I wonder why…
