Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does "10 company responses" mean?
A response means a company has reviewed your sell sheet and replied — whether to request more information, set up a call, or pass. We contact companies until we have 10 documented responses. If we cannot achieve this, you receive a full refund.
Do I need a patent before joining Gateway?
No. Many inventors join Gateway without a patent. We will advise you on the best patent strategy for your specific situation. A provisional patent application is often sufficient to begin outreach.
How long does the Gateway program take?
Most inventors receive their 10 company responses within 6 to 12 months. The timeline depends on your product category, the number of companies in your target market, and how quickly companies respond.
What types of products does Gateway work for?
Gateway works best for consumer products in categories like housewares, sporting goods, hardware, toys, pet products, and outdoor/garden. We evaluate every product individually during the consultation.
What happens after I get responses?
When companies express interest, we help you understand their intent and guide you through the next steps — which may include a call, sending a sample, or entering negotiations. Our Negotiation Program is available to help you maximize your deal terms.
