Reply to your reply:
1. He needs to raise capital so that he can a) Create a prototype; b) Find a manufacturer; c) Produce the product; d) Market the product.
2. The product is some kind of "finger pen"--a pen which somehow attaches to the finger, making it easier for stroke victims, the elderly, and others to write.
3. I have no picture.
Answer for each 100 inventions, only one is ever brought to market.
I suggest finding a biz atty and giving the atty 1/2
of your company to be and let him/her contract with
an engineer to make the pen and with a producer to
mass produce and market it.
prepare to spend some cash and wait 6 mo to 1 yr to
get to market.
