Owner @ From July 2015 to Present (6 months) Founder @ From January 2012 to Present (4 years) Seattle, WashingtonFounder @ From January 2012 to Present (4 years) Founder @ At NVNTD we launch remarkable ideas. Ideas that are technology-driven and world-changing. Our process is simple - an individual submits a remarkable idea to us, and we handle the rest. If a remarkable idea is chosen by our Board of Advisors, our team at NVNTD will design, develop, market, and acquire the needed customers to make the ideas a successful reality. In return, we will pay a royalty from all future profits.
Most remarkable ideas never come to fruition. A few factors contribute to why an idea doesn’t actualize; an indi- vidual doesn’t have the financial means, or the time to invest, or the knowledge on how to begin launching an idea. That’s where we take over.
We launch remarkable ideas for the primary equity position in the concept. Even if only a percentage of our ideas make it to market, the financial return on these projects would be strong. Our plan is to launch three-to-five remark- able ideas within the first 24 months of operation.
