Welcome. I suggest that you start reading some forums and get a feel for the people who participate. If you have a particular interest, (prototypes, patents, NDA’s, inventors notebook, etc.), click on the search button above and put in whatever topic you wish: you can learn a lot that way.

Good luck.

P.S. Using a personal avatar might be a good place to start – if you don’t have a photo of yourself, maybe use one of your pet or car or whatever.

First if you are new here welcome aboard…Second if you have lots of ideas but limited funds to pursue them EN is the place to be. I don’t think trust is really an issue with Edison Nation.

At some point in this business you gotta trust someone….and sometimes in this business you gotta trust yourself too meaning you have made the proper decision to expose your idea to the public without getting ripped off. Like I am exposed with my product to the entire world. I trust myself that I have done due diligence to hold onto my brand and the lead in the market even if knockoffs come.

If you just have an idea and only jot it on paper and submit it to these people here at EN can you trust them like they say you can? Well I’ll answer that myself. One time they screw someone and steal their idea the whole operation will be wiped out with the news circulating the world wide web like wild fire. I think you can trust them.

Smart business people also know ripping off others in business is the best way to get pushed out of business. The people here that run Edison Nation are some of the smartest in the business I know.

I don’t say this for any partiality etc. cause I will say what I want anywhere I wish cause I know how to get there…so I don’t have to do my talking here…it is by my own choice to hang around here…for nothing…..only for the fact that I like it around here….and the special breed of inventor people…very caring people.

Yes, this is indeed a true trustworthy inventing site.

I am in the same boat myself.It has taken me years of research and development to get thus far. I know my plans can be put into action however, I also know that someone can take all of my work and end up making a fortune dishonestly. My plans work on honesty and trust,therefore I want to attract some powerful patrons to endorse this project. I’d like to put this before The President or Secretary Clinton. After attracting Patrons then a global company or non profit could be formed that could offer work and aid to the World. It is a massive undertaking, and one in which I need some guidance and advice from ethical people.
Help please..

You still have to proceed with causion. NDA are vital, not that I know much about them there seems to be many so you have to have the right one for your case. Good luck in your endevour.
