• Jumpstart Your Business Brain - if you read only one book this year relating to creating great new products, read this book. Required reading for every one of our inventor partners.
• Eureka Ranch / Merwyn / Doug Hall - Doug’s famous as a judge on American Inventor, but his bootcamps, lectures, radio shows, and Friday Freebies are a great asset for any inventor or small company.
• InventRight Home Study Course - simply the best resource for any inventor that wants to try to commercialize a product on his or her own. Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss are awesome.
