I figured as much and wouldn't have further spread it without confirmation, but yeah it wouldn't even be the most shocking defense I've heard at this point.

Alright no one's asking so I'm doing it. Are these real quotes? And ain't it a shame we're living in a time I need to ask that?

I have an idea for a product that I think it is remarkable it's not already a thing. It would be easy to make and produce, and I imagine manufacturing would be cheap, but could be sold at a decent price.

I know I'll need a designer or engineer to help me with a virtual design. I'll also need a programmer as the product is a "smart" product and would link back to an app. So I'd need an app dev and someone to program the functionality of the device.

So assuming I get all that, then what? How does one get something like this manufactured, assuming it gets that far? I have a potential source from which I could get a business loan, but would at least need a virtual mockup and a plan.

I would love to see this become a reality but it feels daunting and I have no idea how to make it all come together. Any insight from the lemmings is much appreciated.

Edit: I've seen some prototyping and invention help companies, but they feel skeevy and Id have no doubt the terms end up with most of the profit going to them.

My wife is shopping for a new car right now and really wants an EV. There are Tesla's all around us going for 16k-25k and some of those 2023 or 2024s.

Wild how we would've jumped on that a few years ago. Now I literally wouldn't drive one if it was given to me for free.

For most, "College" is the first 4 or so years getting a bachelor's degree. Beyond that is "Grad school" where you get Graduate degrees like PhDs, Masters degrees, and whatnot.

I only did undergrad and the degree was in acting so take what I say with a grain of salt as I am an authority on practically nothing.
