Scott Putnam
Coach
Dubuque, Iowa
Using the methods inventRight taught him, he’s licensed three very different product ideas. He remembers feeling amazed when the companies he contacted about his uncle’s idea for a new plumbing product were interested right away. “It was like clockwork!” he exclaimed. “I thought, ‘Why isn’t everyone doing this?’” Licensing is a numbers game, he now knows. With that in mind, he’s licensed his youngest daughter’s idea for a toy jewelry product as well as the design he came up with for a fat bike pressure gauge.
Like many product developers, Scott has been coming up with ideas for new products all his life.
“Inventors see things in a different light. It’s almost like a sixth sense. I don’t know where it comes from, but I know that for many of us, ideas have been pouring in since we were young!” He’s looking forward to getting students “even more excited about their ideas and guiding them through this process.” When asked to describe which aspect of the licensing process he likes best, he refused to choose — he enjoys every step.
“You have to believe in your own ideas and take action. It’s all about going through the process.”
Scott loves to run and bike outside and relishes flying airplanes whenever he can. He’s also passionate about plant-based nutrition and enjoys helping others on their journey to peak performance as a nutrition and wellness coach.
Most recently, Scott invented the Swat-N-Scoop, that can be seen at https://swatnscoop.com.

Top thanks to Scott Putnam, my inventRight licensing coach. Scott, you challenged me and were right there with the encouragement, insight, and resources I needed, as I went through the process. I did hit a few major obstacles along the way. Scott kept me at it! Success came, eventually, through good old customer service. So glad I didn’t give up!
We were mentored by a flesh and blood person. Scott “awesome” Putnam. Who guided us along the journey. Providing all the answers and helping us to move forward when we felt stuck. All the resources you’ve ever dreamed of are available. Through their guidance we have been able to take one product all the way to the market. Our product is now in the hands of the manufacture and they’re cutting us checks. They’re even interested in a second product.
Working with Scott has been an amazing experience!
To gel with someone who follows your creative thoughts so much is indescribable.
I never realized how much having a coach could help me take my creative thoughts to the next level. This process has helped me take a product dream and turn it into a tangible reality, thank you, Scott!
My experience with inventRight has been absolutely outstanding. I was very impressed since the beginning, I was paired with Scott, my coach, after asking me very specific questions. I told them that I talked too much, and I needed someone who could be direct and efficient. They did! Scott, has been a blessing, he helped me understanding the process and to slow down, always encouraging and pushed me to do my best. He knew how to get the best results and had the best contacts for prototypes, designs, videos. I’m now involved with my second product and he did it again, he is calm and knowledgeable, I just need take deep breath and do my best. He gave me the tools and now I feel ready to do it on my own. Thank you, Scott, you are an amazing coach.
Scott Putnam is an encourager and he keeps us grounded when we get nervous and helps us to move forward on an idea when we are struggling and are not sure which direction to go. He sees the big picture and thinks outside the box to give us the support we need. Scott is just not our coach; we consider him to be family!
When I joined inventRight, I wanted a coach with a big vision, and great communication/coaching skills. Scott Putnam fits this description! I’m just getting started overall, but I’m very excited about the process, and what the future holds!
Scott’s unwavering commitment to the success of his students and his coaching style have significantly impacted my progress.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from your knowledge and system, which has served as a guiding light for my invention journey.
Without it, I may not have had the confidence to begin this process. Thank you for sharing your expertise and resources with fellow inventors.
With the excellent help of my coach Scott Putnam my product idea was licensed in a little over 90 days of joining Inventright. I am now onto my second product idea. I want to personally thank my Coach Scott Putnam for helping me along the way.
Then I found InventRight! With the help of my awesome coach Scott Putnam, I recently signed a licensing agreement with a small company that will bring my self-defense product to market! Scott gave me the kind of hand holding that I needed to navigate the social aspect of inventing. Being more on the introverted side, I struggled with making phone calls to companies and had no idea what to say. I’m not a salesman by any means! But that’s the beauty of this program. We don’t sell, we create sell sheets!
I was working with Scott for more than a year on 2 of my projects. He is amazing both as a person and as a coach! His help is priceless. He always has not-standard solutions and suggestions for all stages of the process. I am lucky to have Scott as a coach.
Scott is a superb coach and understands our concept very well. He is always willing to help and offers very professional and sound advice. It is clear he is very experienced at what he does. We couldn’t recommend Scott highly enough. Thank you for everything so far.
Scott is a great coach for many reasons, He offers great insight into projects as to how to envision your product to your target base. He is a master of the process and he explains to you in detail why it should go the way it’s explained. His experience is what helps you seal the deal because he has collaborated with many products and the people that help put your product to market.
Anyone who has tried to get an idea going knows that it can be a difficult task. Personally, I have 7 years of wandering from trade shows to seminars to find the right path. I have been so thankful to find the inventRight team and to have the support of my coach Scott. When things get overwhelming, I am encouraged to take it one step at a time. When I don’t know what to do next, I am guided back on track. Even when I just need some support, someone is always there to help. Since I have been part of the program I no longer feel like I am on my own to figure it all out. So a sincere thank you to Stephen, Andrew, my fantastic coach Scott and all the team at InventRight for a great program.
