Question about the equity position IdeaPros will take
I have had no experience thus far with IdeaPros yet, however, I gave a 5 star review because everything I have researched about you seems extravagant. My question for you is when I pitch an idea to you, you like it, we partner and you take a minority position in the company, roughly how much equity will IdeaPros own? And what goes into the equation to determine the percentage of equity you will own?
Response from IdeaProsJul 6, 2021
Hey Quentin. In exchange for saving you around 80% of what it would otherwise cost to do a product development and nationwide launch, we seek apx 30% equity. And we are your partner rather than a service provider so, if anything goes wrong, we'll work with you until it's right. And our name carries weight when, after launch, you need to open doors or seek growth investment.

Early beginnings to success
We have just been going through the process of getting to partner with IdeaPros. It’s such a cool process this far seeing our idea out and getting accepted. Everyone we have meet through this process is always so full of joy. They truly enjoy helping people.

Best business decision we have ever made!
My wife and I decided to partner with IdeaPros on our start-up company AMAVI over a year ago. I researched many potential firms to work with for over a year before reaching out to IdeaPros. They were hands down the number one choice for us.
I have over 20 years experience in technology, finance and health care industries and have worked with some of the best companies in the world including Apple, Dell Computer, Eli Lilly & Company. I know quality when I see it. Fred Cary has hand picked an awesome team of seasoned professionals who have actually been successful in their own companies. They are building something that has never been done before, a company that partners with entrepreneurs to build their product or app from design, marketing/e-commerce development, funding, supply chain management, business development, licensing and distribution, and beyond. They don’t just help you build your business like many other firms, they are a true partner that is always there when you need them throughout the lifespan of your business. The best thing about partnering with IdeaPros is that they treat us like family. They are so kind and respectful. They really want us to succeed, not just because they have a vested interest, but because they truly care about us and our business. I’ve been around business and people long enough to discern what truly motivates them and I can tell you that Fred and his team are good people and their motivation is helping people build their entrepreneurial dreams. The process of working with them is seamless and they are always there when we need them. We had to make a big pivot from our original product concept, but they were straight forward as to why we needed to pivot. Since then we can see that they were right to make the change because it opened us up to a much larger customer base than before. It also made it easier and more cost effective to manufacture our product. We have been very impressed with IdeaPros and we highly recommend partnering with them. It’s the best business decision we have ever made! Thank God for IdeaPros!

I don't know what to say. And just before Thanksgiving at that! This is a really tough business because people truly depend on us, as you said, to create things that don't exist. And when things go wrong (they will), or phases get delayed (they do), it's tempting to forget we're partners doing our very best, and easy to blame us rather than support us. We all thank you so much for the very kind words and the understanding you've shown throughout this process. You guys are true entrepreneurs! Fred

Not a review
Not a review, but a question. I have two totally separate inventions. For one, I have the prototype. I have contacted inventhelp, but do not have $20k to get started. Is there a way to cut out the middle man & go directly to the sales team of a company?
Response from IdeaProsNov 1, 2020
First of all, I do not recommend anyone go with any "invention promotion" company. There is less than a .5% of a chance for you to be successful. Second - if you don't even have $20,000 you probably do not have enough capital to seriously consider being an entrepreneur. It takes a lot of money to get to the point where you can have sales. Therefore, you have two choices - licensing or investors. Licensing is REALLY tough unless you have a well established product with provable demand AND the connections necessary to open doors. Investors, while difficult, may be the best bet. if you need further advice you can contact [email protected] and we will speak to you about these options in greater detail. While you don't have a "genuine buying experience" with us, unlike most comments, I think that this is a very important subject for anyone considering moving forward with a product idea so we'll try to leave this up long enough for people to read. GOOD LUCK. Fred

Just don't.
I'm skeptical by nature and it can be difficult to get me to buy into anything, especially when it comes to my bustiness idea. I knew that I needed a partner, one that could bring the idea that I had into a real, tangible asset that will help other people in the area that I intend to dominate.
Starting the process with IdeaPros was a little difficult at first because the product research phase of development takes a while and I did not have very much communication with them during that phase. One major issue that was out of their control was that the pandemic hit literally the week after I signed with them, so naturally I was very concerned with how things were going: I had put most of my eggs into the idea pros basket.
IdeaPros has made a lot of changes during this time and the communication with my Project Manager has been spectacular since they started doing weekly updates. The results of product research were well dome, laid out in a very professional manner and presented to me in an easily understandable format.
The team is great. I can't say enough good things about the marketing and research team, not to mention the developers. They have so many great ideas that I never considered and they are presented to me in a way that is straight forward and easy to understand by a business noob like me.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for me and this partnership as we work to develope my idea into a reality.
Update:
I have decided to update my review. My project is now going on almost three years into development and the process has not been very smooth. One of the major issues Ideapros has is that they have too many projects to run and not enough resources to handle changes in a nimble manner. It's not completely their fault, the development process has dragged on so long that my ideas of what the product should be have evolved from the original generic template idea, which given this amount of time, I would probably have been on my third version of my app.
Final update: The app that I was delivered did not meet the promises I was made when I signed up. The app had no monetization built in, I had to add that later. The app took three years to develop, which basically put me in Chapter 11 bankruptcy with trying to meet my payment obligations and praying everday that the app would be done. I had to pay 20,000 dollars extra to get the app to even include any astrology, I mean, it was an astro yoga app. The bottom line was I spent 20k on advertising to get people customers, which I did. Out of 200 sign ups, not one person bought a subscription. This wasn't a me issue, I did what I needed to do. I was delivered a garbage product.
Response from IdeaProsNov 1, 2020
Thank you so much, Kevin. It's great to hear about your experience with us. With a business like this when you are helping entrepreneurs realize their dream, the work is extraordinarily hard and expensive. And there are never guarantees that we won't have to change course once - or multiple times. It is unfortunate that a few people either don't understand why things take a long time, or we get near the end and they suddenly want all our part of the equity back because they see how well they are positioned. A one star review is particularly hurtful to us because the inevitable strategy is to make us look as bad as possible so they can get equity, money, or whatever they seek. It's really mindboggling and that's why reviews like yours make us feel appreciated. Again - thank you. Fred
