If you’ve spent any time researching how to bring your product ideas to market, chances are you’ve come across inventRight. Founded by Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss, inventRight has built a global coaching program that teaches inventors how to bring their product ideas to market through licensing. But the question most people ask is simple: Does inventRight coaching really work?
What Inventors Want to Know About inventRight Coaching
Across Google, Reddit, and Quora, we see the same handful of questions come up over and over again:
- Who is the inventRight coaching program really for?
- How long does it take to see results after becoming a member of the inventRight coaching program?
- Do I need a patent before I start trying to license my ideas for new products?
- Is inventRight coaching worth it? (I’ve already read Stephen Key’s book One Simple Idea and watched inventRightTV YouTube videos.)
- What are my chances of getting a licensing deal if I join inventRight coaching?
These are fair concerns, and they’re the same questions inventors who signed up for inventRight coaching asked themselves. Book a free appointment with one of our licensing experts to get your questions answered immediately.
The answers lie in the structure of our program as well as the stories of the inventors who have gone through it. You can read hundreds of inventRight members discuss their inventRight coaching experience here on our testimonial page.
What Exactly Do You Get With inventRight Coaching?
Become a Professional Inventor is the name of the inventRight coaching program. This is the original coaching program for inventors who want to master the art of licensing. It is a nine-month experience where you work directly with an experienced coach who guides you through every step of the licensing process. (Your coach is a graduate of the inventRight coaching program!)
This isn’t a library of videos to watch. Your coach offers accountability, feedback, and strategy tailored to YOUR product idea. Every week, you’re moving forward towards your goal of commercializing your product, whether it’s refining your sell sheet, improving your outreach, learning how to talk to companies, and figuring out the right protection strategy for your product.
Here’s something many new inventors are surprised by: You do not need a fully issued patent to begin. In fact, focusing on patents too early can waste time and money. What companies really want to see is a marketable product they can manufacture and sell profitably. That’s why inventRight’s coaching emphasizes conducting market research, creating a simple prototype, and presenting your idea in a way that gets attention. Timelines vary by product, timing, and the responsiveness of the company. Some members see momentum quickly, while others build it steadily over time. Commitment is a requirement for success. Most people do not license the first invention they pitch.
Does inventRight Coaching Guarantee a Licensing Deal?
No. No one can guarantee that you will be able to license your product. Licensing is competitive, and rejection is part of the process. What inventRight does is dramatically increase your odds of success in the longterm by providing you with a proven roadmap and a guide who has gone through the process themselves to walk alongside you. Instead of guessing, you know exactly how to avoid common mistakes and how to keep going when companies don’t respond right away.
Many inventors have described the program as the difference between spinning their wheels and finally getting traction. While some achieve licensing deals during the program itself, others report that the biggest benefit is having the skills and confidence to keep moving forward long after the nine months are over. That’s why you’ll see inventors on our testimonial page say things like “I finally understand how product licensing works” or “I now have the tools to keep going.”
Who Is inventRight Coaching For?
inventRight members come from all over the world—more than 65 countries and counting. Some arrive with nothing more than a sketch and a dream. Others already have prototypes or even products in stores but want to master licensing as a long-term strategy. What they all have in common is a desire to take licensing as a business strategy seriously and the willingness to put in consistent effort.
If you’re hoping for an overnight get-rich-quick scheme, inventRight coaching isn’t for you.
If you’re committed to learning a repeatable process and willing to face rejection with persistence, coaching can be a powerful accelerator. It’s especially valuable for inventors who need accountability. As many of our members have said, the biggest benefit isn’t just learning what to do—it’s having someone making sure you actually do it the right way the first time.
How Do Most Inventors Get Started?
Most inventors first discover inventRight through our YouTube channel, inventRightTV, where Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss share weekly tips about licensing. From there, many dive deeper into our free resources, books, or articles like the one you’re reading now on our InnovateThis blog. After testing the waters, some choose to begin with our License This program at $49.95 per month, while others go straight into the nine-month coaching program.
The important thing to remember is that coaching isn’t passive. It’s a relationship between you and your coach, where you’re expected to take action, report back, and keep moving forward. That’s what separates inventRight coaching from simply reading a book or watching a video.
What If Reaching Companies Is Your Biggest Licensing Struggle?
One of the biggest hurdles inventors face—whether they’re in coaching or not—is reaching out to companies and getting a response. That’s why inventRight created the Gateway program. Gateway isn’t coaching. With Gateway, our outreach team leverages our connections with nearly 900 companies to help you license your product. For many inventors, having the option of Gateway makes all the difference when it comes to getting real responses from companies.
So, Does inventRight Coaching Really Work?
So, does inventRight coaching work? For thousands of inventors across more than 65 countries, the answer is yes—when they put in the effort. Coaching won’t hand you a licensing deal, but it will teach you how to pursue licensing strategically, avoid wasting time and money, and build momentum that lasts well beyond the program itself.
