Found the right licensing path with Gateway
How inventRight Gateway helped Laura secure a licensing agreement for her pet product
After years of working on the design and development of her invention, Laura Emory realized manufacturing and selling it herself was not the right fit. inventRight Gateway gave her a clearer path forward by helping her prepare professional licensing materials and handling company outreach on her behalf. With continued team support and guidance during negotiations, she successfully licensed her pet product.

“The inventRight Gateway program was the perfect choice for me. After spending several years working with different companies on the design and product development of my invention, I began pursuing the path of manufacturing, marketing and selling the product myself. As I progressed through the process I became more and more convinced it was not for me. In my gut I knew I wanted to license my invention, but did not know where to begin. The thought of reaching out to companies in the industry and pitching my product felt overwhelming. While searching online for information about how to license an invention, I discovered inventRight. Their program and philosophy spoke to me. When I learned they had launched their Gateway program, I was sold! Instead of trying to navigate company outreach on my own, the Gateway team would handle that part of the process for me. I was paired with Paul Sorenson as my Coach and the process was easy. Paul guided me through creating a professional Sell Sheet and demo video for my invention. He was, very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. After finishing the Sell Sheet and video, my invention was turned over to the Gateway outreach team and the pitching began. Within a few months, Dana Knowles called to let me know a company was interested in my invention and we scheduled a meeting. Although that opportunity ultimately did not work out, Dana and the team continued reaching out to other companies on my behalf. Just a few months later, I had another company interested in my invention, and this time it was the real deal. Within weeks, we were signing a licensing agreement. Paul’s expertise was invaluable during the contract negotiations, and once again, he made the process smooth and comfortable for everyone involved. Without inventRight and their Gateway program, I may have given up on getting my invention out in the world. I am grateful for the support, expertise and guidance their team provided throughout the journey.“
