Are you an independent inventor or startup founder wondering how to take your product from a garage prototype to retail shelves worldwide? You are in the right place.
Welcome to a special television episode of InventAmerica!, hosted jointly by Rita Crompton (“America’s Inventor Lady”) and Michael King of HomeTalk USA.
In this 4-part broadcast event, we break down the critical concept of leverage—why solo creators must stop trying to do everything themselves and instead partner with the right experts to scale.
Featured Guests & Topics:
Mike Ryan (CEO & Founder of Pronto Launch): Mike reveals how his advisory company helps inventors gain global distribution by securing retail placements in over 500+ stores across Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania. He explains why credibility is the foundation of true leverage and how to sustain growth once you hit your first $1,000,000 in sales.
David Crouch (Creator of Sanova Luggage): David spent 10+ years working as an airline baggage handler and saw firsthand why 30+ million bags get lost each year—the exterior handle tag gets ripped off. He shares his story of developing a suitcase with an integrated protective tag sleeve, securing co-branding talks with major airlines, and preparing for a massive global presale.
