Trying to work with InventureX has definitely been a soul destroying experience. I could write reams about how bad the experience has been but it would be just too painful to recall and relive this absolutely awful experience. I agree with the other posts on this TrustPilot site, there is little else to say, it is just such a shame that people like Kevin Harrington and Kevin O'Leary put so little value on their names and are willing to sell their endorsements to such incompetent players as Mark Campbell and his buddys at InventureX.

Company is a scam
Company is a scam. Kevin Harrington (from Shark Tank) is a part of this company. I got an attorney, went to arbitration and received an award of $25,995. Although I may never see the money, I’m taking to every social media site to tell my story. -Greg

Worst company I’ve ever worked with…
If I could give this review zero stars I would. They do not return emails. They did nothing to promote the project or help me get funding. They did put together a nice video and Kickstarter page but beyond that they did nothing at all. Do not waste your money with this company.

EVERYTHING the others said is true
EVERYTHING the others said is true. DO NOT get involved with Inventurex...or Ideazon...or Crowdfunding Rescue. Mark Campbell, Jake Peters, Kevin Harrington, etc. are all bad actors. Please join our group in shutting them down!

No reply from Joe Parker
Similar to the previous review, Joe Parker and other managers do not respond especially when they say they are editing the video for you. Has been 6 months with no response from anyone and calling the front desk girl does nothing! Avoid this company at all cost

Everything Paul Roberts is saying is…
Everything Paul Roberts is saying is pretty spot on with my experience. I got the same video from Kevin and everything. They have done my layout but I have been their client for a YEAR now and no launch still in phase 1 of 3 phases. I have been given about 10 launch dates.. (yesterday was the most recent) and no launch. I have the same lead (Joe) and I'm surprised Paul was able to get him on the phone. My last PRESCHEDULED call, Joe not only did not attend but the front desk girl told me that he was intentionally avoiding me and was too busy to take my call. I tried to speak to someone else and she said no. I tried to get another manager, no, speak to Mark, No. I emailed Mark, and nothing but (I'm going to look into your project and in the meantime, lets schedule you a call with the team.. And then they don't show). I have reached Kevin Harrington's team and have since learned that he is no longer affiliated with Inventurex and Inventurex embellished his role with the company and what we would get while partnering with Inventurex. Kevin Harrington's team states they only had endorsement deals with them not anything with DAY TO DAY Operations. Also the email for "Kevin Harrington with Inventurex," Kevin's team had no idea it existed and no access to it. I was supposed to have a video edited by Inventurex which has been their excuse to why we have not launched (due before Christmas 2019) and still have not seen anything on that. I barely get any communication and lately the only reason why is because I filed against them on BBB. Interesting how everytime I respond on BBB, they reach out to me finally.... Please beware. If they even launch for me, I do not believe we will be successful due to how they have treated me so far and others. I believe if they do launch, they are doing it just to say they did their part.. But I am holding my breath. I have been given 10+ launch dates with excuses every time when they eventually respond.. Do not waste your money. I will update if anything changes but don't hold your breath.

InventureX IS A FRAUDULENT SCAM
My name is Paul Roberts and I’m a leader in the space of healthcare reform. This is a factual account of my experience with InventureX, a crowdfunding company. I signed with InventureX on December 13, 2019, after being lured in by the prospect of “partnering“ with Kevin Harrington, from TVs Shark Tank. That same day, I received a personalized video from Kevin Harrington himself (which I still have) saying how excited he was to work with me using InventureX as the crowdfunding platform to raise needed funds for my project, a healthcare reform documentary. In the video Kevin actually mentions InventureX by name and as well as Mark's name (supposedly the vice president of InventureX, Mark Campbell). Of course, I was excited initially to sign with them and the kick-off discussion was the same day. The kick-off call was with Mark Campbell and Joe Parker, among others. As with many other testimonials I've heard, the initial conversation seemed professional and enthusiastic and they effectively promised the moon with a slew of “goodies“ I would be getting including: pre-launch marketing, audience research and development, a Kickstarter page build-out, press release, influencer engagement, social media hype and email marketing. The date I am writing this is March 13, 2020. Since the date of signing there has been zero initiative, updates or otherwise from InventureX! The Kickstarter page they promised has not been developed or even touched. I would periodically call asking for a status update but would instead get the runaround from what seemed to be some kind of a remote call center about how so-and-so wasn’t available and they would pass along the message, which of course they didn’t or it was simply ignored… Often, the reception staff was very rude and quick tempered. I would also periodically send emails asking for updates, which weren’t responded to. Upon learning about all of the other testimonials out there on the internet and hearing the same stories as mine about how they were scammed, I was finally able to arrange a call with Joe Parker (though I didn’t tell him I was aware of the scam when setting up the call). Then on the call I proceeded to mention everything to Joe I was aware of and how they are obviously running a scam operation. Joe had clearly heard this many times before and was completely unshaken, simply returning the conversation back to how he could help me with my crowdfunding campaign-which I obviously was no longer interested in! During the conversation with Joe I told him that I would be informing Kevin Harrington that they are running a scam operation and providing other testimonials to him as well (I do actually have connections to him). Interestingly, Joe was completely unraveled by the notion of me notifying Kevin Harrington (makes you think). After this call on the same day, I sent an email to the entire team at InventureX letting them know about my call earlier with Joe and that I am clearly not playing games and demanded my money (12.k) back. Mark Cmapbell replied to this email with a diversion tactic similar to that used by Joe in my conversation with him, simply turning the focus back to how they can help me with my crowdfunding campaign (really!?). After this, I proceeded with my plan to inform Kevin Harrington that I was aware of the InventureX scam. My contact (a close colleague of his) said the information was forwarded to Kevin. Though I asked that Kevin clear his name, I never heard back from one Kevin Harrington...
