$25 Million Innovation Fund Now Live!
We are pleased to announce the new Edison Nation Innovation Fund. The first of its kind, we are once again changing the way your product ideas are financed and brought to market forever.
When we launched Edison Nation, we partnered with major retailers and manufacturers to help them fill specific product needs through our Live Product Searches. Along the way we’ve learned that many great ideas come when you aren’t looking for them at all. With the Edison Nation Innovation Fund, we are searching for, investing in and bringing to market those ideas that break the mold.
The Fund was specially created to find product and technology innovations spanning any industry. Pitch those ideas that need to be discovered and if selected, we’ll invest up to $250,000 to bring it from idea to shelf — just like the ideas featured in our television series, Everyday Edisons. As a bonus, if you are an Insider and your idea has patent protection, you will be automatically entered into our brand new Insider Licensing Program.

Name a new cold therapy solution
We’re seeking a name for a new cold therapy solution. This solution offers a malleable gel pack that can provide fast cooling relief to many areas of the body while staying firmly in place. We’d like a name that is appealing, memorable, unique, and reflects the product benefits. Because the name might be applied to heating products at a later point, please don’t use cold-related names/themes. The winner will receive a Skybar™ ONE Wine System, a $399.99 retail value.

Invention Score
ICKC Corporate Sponsor
We analyze 5 pillars that companies and investors really care about, for a maximum of 850 points. See how it’s calculated. So, if your InventionScore™ is 550, the InventionPlan™ is your checklist of next steps to make up 300 points. Every report is personalized, not auto-generated. We sell no development services whatsoever, so you can trust our honest diagnostic and personal advice. If necessary, we refer you to affordable (or free) do-it-yourself resources.
Our scientific diagnostic formula will save you time — and potentially thousands of dollars – on your journey to that amazing licensing deal or investment. Our proprietary algorithm is a revolutionary new teaching tool. Find out what companies and investors really care about. No need for expensive “development” work or subjective opinions. A high InventionScore™ means more bargaining power. A low InventionScore™ is also valuable: it shows you how to significantly improve your odds before submitting to a company. Your invention deserves it.
