At your service... 

The Capital of Know-How provides independent inventors and job shops with design and engineering services, product assembly services, sales and marketing. We operate our business as other Original Equipment Manufacturers do. The difference is we do not own the intellectual property or the inventory. You do!

Independent inventors and job shops will find working with Capital of Know-How to be a straightforward process. In exchange for a published fee, manufacturers and inventors gain access to corporate executives who place orders, license patents, create joint ventures, and market vetted products in return for an intellectual property assignment and fees-for-services. As the intermediary, the Capital of Know-how makes relationships possible that do not ordinarily exist: Corporate 500 executives who feel comfortable dealing with independents happily sit at the table with interest and capital to invest.

So what has changed? For reasons too numerous to list here, most of Corporate America is reluctant to take on an unsolicited innovation directly from an independent inventor. No matter how great the interest in what the inventor has to say they will not take a chance. The threat of infringement on their proprietary research and other investments makes it too risky to meet with independent inventors and smaller job shops.

Think about it. Most corporations are growing businesses, answering to shareholders. They are in business because they are watchful of market trends and threats. Traditionally, these companies have provided product solutions that met our demands. Most corporations become powerful because they pay attention. With an eye to the future, they cannot afford to let down their guard. Frankly, there are simply too many stories of someone in the company inviting a garage inventor with a great idea inside, only to discover that the company had been working on the same idea for months. Realizing that, the company’s research extends beyond the independent’s progress, they decide to decline his offer. Six months later, the independent inventor sees “his” idea on the shelf. So, who stole what from whom?

Capital of Know-How in its neutral role buffers the negative impact of a conversation between two interested parties by first analyzing the idea of the garage inventor and protecting it, against the interested corporation’s prior art. Acting as the conduit, Capital of Know-How brings the inventor and corporate America to the same table for a shared reason.

Capital of Know-How offers the perfect community for research centers, government agencies, and retailers, as well as other private and individual customers, ready to develop and produce new products. No project is too small or too large. Capital of Know-How’s manufacturing resources are unlimited.

Moreover, Capital of Know-How has a potent secret ingredient that qualifies us as the best: YOU, the American Consumer transformed into the Garage Inventor for want of a product.
