Courtney Laschkewitsch

Coach

Santa Cruz, CA

Courtney is an award-winning entrepreneur and successful inventor who licensed four product ideas to a company that specializes in outfitting dorm rooms. She later sold a record-setting 11 door room products to the same company. As a child, she remembers making paper models of amusement parks and roller coasters that took up a whole room. She started her first business as a teenager while attending college, selling online and at several events throughout the year, she learned the basics of starting and growing her own small business.

She’s also an experienced educator. For nearly a decade, she taught classes to youth about robotics, animation, and design through an education non-profit. “Each of our classes consisted of teaching the students how to be like inventors and how to be creative thinkers at a young age,” she explained.

She has been recognized for her achievements, including being named the inaugural youth division winner of the Natalie Awards for Entrepreneurship, as well as The Bay Area winner for the National Center for Women & Information Technology.

Before she knew its official name, Courtney was sold on the concept of licensing. With so many ideas, why start a business for each one when you can license them, she thought.

“Licensing is deeply ingrained in who I am,” she said. “I can come up with all these ideas and focus my energy on creativity and innovation every single day. I’m enthralled by this industry.”

As the longtime Managing Director of Inventors Groups of America, she runs online meetups for members that averages 200 attendees as well as produces a monthly newsletter and educational webinar series with guest experts.

“Inventors are dedicated movers and shakers who are constantly pushing their ideas forward. It wasn’t hard to be a part of this inventing community—it’s really inspiring.”

In addition to being a zealous advocate for inventors and the inventing community, and developing product ideas for companies, Courtney is a martial artist (black belt in Jiu Jitsu and Muy Thai), unicyclist, and latin dancer. She also enjoys golfing, photography, and dipping her feet into new and invigorating activities.

I am listening to your podcast, and I’m on episode 15. I’ve been taking a lot of helpful notes. C.A.S.A.R. Category Audience Similar Appropriate Retailers. C.A.S.A.R. is definitely the rule of the equation. For the past 5 months, I have been disciplining myself on cutting up of things such as cheerful food, fresh lettuce and Italian sausage, that no longer serves me. I have lost 20 pounds and I’ve never felt so good. It was not easy but was necessary!!! Ever since I have started listening to your podcast four months ago my life has shifted for the better, being discipline will give you a clear mind set, which makes it a whole lot easier on how to navigate in life. This is a game changer for me.

Coach Courtney goes above and beyond when coaching. She touches the way shell and will want to be involved. She got to know me and my wife personally, which really, meant a lot to us. Courtney is all about communication and connectedness because it helps her be able to coach us. She encourages so much communication so we are one with her which makes us feel like we are able to get the most out of this program ever! She is truly willing to reach as unless we are all set and go at the speed we set! no matter how fast or slow. She is very organized, efficient, has her own systems in place and has a great business sense of humor. She is emotionally invested in helping us make this the career of our choice as soon as possible. We really feel heard by her and believe that together the 3 of us (and help from the whole IR community) will get us where we want to go sooner than later. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! We HIGHLY recommend you!!
