I think everyone has an idea or two in their heads. I know I do. As far as I know most ideas take a large monetary commitment to bring something to market. Everytime I see inventors pushing a product I ask how much they are in it for and surprisingly most tell me. Two recent examples: Double head toothbrush. $1.2 million to market. Hand held plastic mold that you put on a chainsaw file for better grip and comfort. $120,000. You wouldn't think either idea would have cost so much but if your idea sells that investment could be a small drop in the bucket. I don't have that much confidence in any of my ideas to invest that kind of dough.
