How to Build a Business Quickly: Prototype, Patent, Manufacture

Описание: How can you build a business quickly by prototyping, patenting, and manufacturing? What if a sketch on a napkin could turn into a full-fledged business with global distribution? In this inspiring episode of inventRightTV, Stephen Key interviews inventor and entrepreneur Kevin Robinson, founder of TRAC, an innovative line of automotive tools. Kevin shares how one simple idea—designed to help mechanics avoid back strain while changing tires—launched a growing company, won awards at SEMA, and captured the attention of major players like Pep Boys. He also reveals how he protected his inventions with the help of QuickPatents and Kevin Prince, built a prototype from a barber chair pump, found the right manufacturer, and created demand through trade shows, social media, and organic word of mouth.
