Are you one of those brilliant people out there in Santa Cruz down to Monterey and Salinas and out to Gilroy and beyond, who has a great idea, product or invention, but no idea how to get started? Or perhaps you're underway but you are concerned about the advice you're getting and suggested ways you should invest (read 'spend') your money? Or are you worried about costs or having your invention stolen? This group is for all those individual inventors who could use a great support group where all of the issues of manufacturing, distribution, marketing, selling, website & SEO developing, insuring, liability obviating, patenting, legal considering, accounting and corporate structuring are discussed. There is wisdom in group counsel and we will bring in the experts to talk to the group mentor style. Probably the greatest benefit of the group is the strength and safety in numbers. We could become a formidable buying group, advocacy and resource and review group of service providers. You don't have to be alone or the little guy wondering when a behemoth shark might pick your product off with scant thought of compensating you or worry about a service provider more interested in figuring out how large a fee you'll pay than working for your benefit.
