Honored to be partnered with IdeaPros
January 5th 2019:
I recently signed with IdeaPros! I hope to have an innovative and exciting health and wellness product on the market by September 2019. If there is anything you take away from my review, it is this;
Mr. Frederick Cary and Mike Calonni are honest, hardworking, stand up business men. If you are a full-time worker who aspires to be an inventor or innovator, you couldn't ask for more. Their integrity, honesty, and business sense is second to none.
They have set up a talented team, have established strong business relationships and are determined to help make as many great Ideas become a reality, as possible. Mr. Cary and Mr. Calonni have leveraged their reputations, decades of experience in business, and their network of business contacts to make IdeaPros what it is today. I have nothing but respect for what they do and hope my project adds to their impressive resume.
Everyone at IdeaPros is mindful of how important their reputation is for success and it shows through their kindness, professionalism and hard work.
I spent almost 3 years looking for a team like IdeaPros to co-found my company with... They are looking for partners on a global scale, NOT clients.
I am excited to work and learn with them (while keeping my day job). If you have a great Consumer or Commercial Product or App Idea; look no further.
My Journey:
Like most people reading this review, I have constantly dreamt and planned to start my own business.
My wife and I both work full-time and we are busy raising our 3 amazing kids.
My plans have always stayed in the realm of "If I had a million dollars..."
Three years ago that changed; when I "Saw a need, and knew I could fill it."
Preparation + Opportunity = Luck
I sketched up multiple designs, did my own market research, estimated my costs, developed a business plan, and created a pitchdeck. I knew I couldn't launch this product without professional help, so I spent nearly 6 months looking for a company or business partner to help get my idea to market.
Thoughts + Confidence = Action
I contacted almost a dozen "patent help" companies (most of them practice unethical sales tactics.) "You get what you pay for", and began to network with as many businessmen as I could.
None of the companies or people I connected with where trustworthy, interested, and/or capable enouph to persue serious business relationships with. For over 2 years I shelved my idea. Hoping to someday find someone to help start my company as Co-founder.
Just over 6 months ago I came across IdeaPros. I spent days looking into thier business, reviews, and profiles. I decided to submit a simple description of my idea and a few days later I got a call from my Bussiness Advisor, Justin.
At first I treated Justin like all of my previous contacts. I shared only the basic business concept and the market opportunity I believe my product possess and I explained that I had numerous design solutions and was eager to work with a partner to get my product to market.
Justin then explained Idea Pros' business model, what my roll and responsibility would be on the project (and eventualy MY company), and my financial contribution necessary to begin development.
Justin had alot of great questions about my idea and I was so impressed with his answers to mine. It wasn't more than an hour and I knew that this was the partner I was looking for. I submitted my Business Plan and Pitch Deck to him later that afternoon (Something I hadn't shown any other contacts before).
Justin guided me through the application process and he presented my proposal to the board for their consideration. I was so happy my idea received a partnership offer! I suspect less than 1% of applicants receive an offer. (Don't let that dissuade you from applying)
Unfortunately my financial contribution requirements in the offer sheet where out of my reach... I explained this to Justin and was surprised at how understanding he was. He always spoke to me as a business partner, never as a salesman. He re-affirmed our Non-Disclosure Agreement and that when I raised my portion we could start the project and he hoped to hear from me when I was ready.
Ethics + Communication = Trust
6 months of hard work and determination has paid off! I found a business partner, who I trust, to help finance our project and we both flew out to San Diago to meet Mr. Frederick Cary and his team in person. It was great to be able to introduce ourselves face to face.
Everyone at IdeaPros is very welcoming and professional. They where just as interested to know who we are as we where to learn about them. The people they partner with is just as important to the success of the company as the Idea. If there is one thing I learned in our visit, it's that IdeaPros is looking for honest, open-minded, and passionate partners to work with.
If you succeed they succeed.
I have learned so much already, I can only imagine what the next 12 months will bring. Now the real work begins!
My advice:
1. Have a good Idea that is scaleable.
2. Be passionate and knowledgable about your idea.
3. Be prepared to invest in your idea.
4. Be ready to work with the best in the business.
5. Be willing to learn and grow.
My personal list of resources:
1. YouTube channels:
Valuetainment
2. Movies:
The Founder
Joy
3. TV:
The Profit
Shark Tank
4. Local resources:
SBA
Chamber of commerce
I plan on adding my contact information in 6 months or so to answer questions anyone interested in working with IdeaPros might have.
Update January 10th 2019:
In response to Mr. Frederick Cary:
Yes! I have already read your book and guide multiple times and have been watching the valuable leadership, business, and marketing videos included with it. They are extremely informative as well as reaffirming. I also went out and bought the book Justin recommended. It was a fantastic read. It clearly has had a lot of influence on your business model and team. I am excited to apply what I have already learned.
I would also like to recognize my Project Manager, Kevin Nguyen. It has been a pleasure working with him, he is as inthusiastic and diligent about this project as I am. He has consistently exceeded my expectations. I am extremely grateful for all his hard work. I am reviewing his latest submittal and we should be moving onto the next phase of development sometime next week.
Again, thank you for giving me and my family the opportunity to chase the true American Dream. Knowing you and your team are in our corner feels amazing.
"Learn by doing."
Response from IdeaProsJan 5, 2019
Jared, thank you so much for this review. You hit the nail on the head when you talk about preparing. Some people think they can hand over a project and then never have to do anything. At IdeaPros we PREPARE you for success by creating differentiated products that are well positioned. But, you're right, in the end is it YOUR company and we remain your minority partners. And YOU are the one that will actualize that success.
So these next several months it's important to study everything, to learn tactics to use to get product exposure, and to learn everything you can about sales. Fortunately, you'll find everything you need in the eBook I created for you and our partners. If you haven't received it yet make sure your project manager sends it to you. If you read it and do every exercise, and view each of our 26 suggested videos, you'll be ready for anything!
Again, thank you! We're proud to be your partner.

Off to a great start with Ideapros
Even though I have worked with them for a short time, I could tell immediately this group knows what they are doing. They have a ton of real world experience. Professional and geniunely interested in what I am trying to accomplish with my invention. Best part is they are transparent. Of course they want to make a profit. We all do. But they are different then other consultants and investor portals. They are upfront on disclosures and explain the program in detail. No surprises or tricks. Startups are a tricky business, so getting the right group to help you, is key. Happy with Ideapros and you will too.

I have been contacted by a few people who didn't care about who I was...then I found IDEAS PRO..EVERYTHING CHANGED
I have been contacted by a few different "companies" wanting to make my product come to life, but the trust was NOT THERE FOR ME, THE PEOPLE WERE SO PUSHY THAT IT SEEMED WRONG, AND THEY WERE VERY UN PROFESSIONAL AS WELL!!!
WHEN I BEGAN RESEARCHING A GOOD COMPANY THAT I COULD REALLY trust, one that could possibly be my true to life partners, that's when I finally found IDEAS PRO!
WHEN KEN, FIRST CALLED ME, WE SPOKE FOR I D SAY, ALMOST 45 MINS, AND DURING THAT ENTIRE CONVERSATION, he was 100% listening to my idea for my product that I am very, very passionate about! He was also so amazing at explaining how ideas pro works and what I loved the most was that he wasn't there to pardon my french, " kiss my a**!" He was there to actually interview me, to get an idea of who I truly was as a person, as an entrepreneur...then once that was established, it was then he was ready to truly great about all the details and all the actual long days i d put in on researching my product!! I was so impressed by them, that when we hung up the phone, I felt a HUGE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AS WELL AS A FEELING THAT THIS COULD BE IT!! THESE people WERE THE ONES I WAS READY TO TRUST WITH MY LIFE BC MY PRODUCT IS MY LIFE ( SECOND TO MY CHILDREN AND HUSBAND OF COURSE)!! My belief in my product is a huge 10 for me!! I am sure it's something very necessary to be made for sale and asap!!
I could go on and on...so I ll just say this, IDEAS PRO IS THE ONLY COMPANY YOUR SHOULD TRUST WITH YOUR PASSION, WITH YOUR PRODUCT!! THEY ARE AMAZING!

Seriously, people, this is the dream team.
I had an idea. I had an idea that I believed in that I thought had enormous potential, but I did not know how to make it real. When I found IdeaPros I thought, if anyone can help me do this, it's them. The combined experience, knowledge, connections, and innovation of this team are unmatched; there really is nothing like them.
At first, I thought it was too good to be true. What they outlined as their contribution in the partner agreement was so far beyond anything I had expected that I had to go see for myself. My husband and I flew to San Diego to a very warm welcome, we met a lot of the team members and had detailed discussion and Q&A with Michael and Fred that left us knowing that these guys are the real deal. We cannot believe how fortunate we are to have found IdeaPros.
We are only four months into the project, so we have a way to go, but so far they have nailed it on every deliverable they committed to. They initiate communication every few weeks to keep me updated and in the loop and are always amazingly responsive whenever I have a question or concern. They make sure we all agree at every step before moving on to the next. I know with certainty that I would not be able to pull this off with any success comparable to that we expect from working with IdeaPros. I don’t have the technical knowledge, the marketing skills, the manufacturing know-how or the contacts. Seriously, people, this is the dream team, and when they are willing to take on your dream, you are very fortunate indeed. Thank you Jessica, Fred, Michael, Ken, Kody and the countless others who are working on our behalf to make this dream a reality.

My story America......
This is my story America. I'm about 14 years of age living in the Bronx and I have an idea in my mind which sticks with me for over 24 years. I get older, get married, and now I have children, and a lovely home, but something is still missing. I explain to my wife that I have an idea and I would really love to see it come to fruition. With the support of my wife we start the process of bringing my idea to life. We started our journey by working with another company before we found IDEAPROS, and that process went as far as it could go with them. You know, your always tentative, when your trying to find the right team and or partners to work with, but I will honestly and can100 percent say that IDEAPROS is the best thing that happened to my wife and I. Jessica Peak, my Project Manager, is absolutely the BEST!!!! When Jessica should be asleep, she's responding to emails and continues to work throughout the night to ensure that our project is on schedule. Her attention to detail, communicating with manufacturers around the country on our behalf on a daily basis is absolutely incredible. Our project is on going and everything is in place to complete the prototyping needed for our project, and if it were not for the entire TEAM at IDEAPROS, Jessica's professionalism, and tremendous dedication and passion for our project, I honestly feel this day wouldn't have come. Our journey continues and our story is on going, stay tuned for the grand finale!!!!!
Please, if you have any questions in regards to IDEAPROS, don't hesitate to contact me at...

IdeaPros: A truly amazing company
IdeaPros is an excellent company that devotes itself to developing the ideas and products of startups, and giving complete guidance to entrepreneurs. I am very impressed with the professionalism and dedication of this company. They are exceedingly knowledgeable about the process and requirements needed to take an idea to market, and create a product that is fully supported by a correctly formed and fabricated company. They meet each phase of the development plan with focus and punctuality, creating and delivering quality results. I can see they truly care about the successs of my project just as much as I do, and their passion for business extends to their elegant manners and deliverables. IdeaPros took my idea, amplified, and magnified it to a much greater level. I am so glad we partnered together, and can’t wait to see the greatness and worldwide change we are able to bring through my idea and their incredible hard work. Thank you so much IdeaPros!!!
