Hello,

Hey everyone! I am in need of someone to point me in the right direction of a member that is knowledgeable in the creation, production, and one who is affiliated

If I am not mistaken you are in Las Vegas? If that is the case have you checked to see if there is a Women's Business Center at one of your local Universities and/or Colleges? I worked at the Old Dominion University Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Norfolk Virginia. There are a variety of services depending on your qualifications, to help entrepreneurs and startups. Many of which are at no or very minimal costs.

YES! I did read about that! However, with the current pandemic all universities are doing online classes. Also, Las Vegas is pretty much still on a lockdown except for retail at the moment. I will have to see if there is another way I could get in contact with them. I will certainly check out such options!

Thank you so much for your advice!!

What you are looking for would not be a class; but, a center that is actually providing consulting and help. They are usually supported by the SBA. I Google Las Vegas and came up with the Nevada Women's Business Center. They seem to be open at least by phone. They should be able to guide you with your project.

Thank you so much!! I will give it a shot!

Let me how it works out.

I'd say Google's probably your best friend in this instance Mercedes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Ultimately, however, the way I see that is that it's easier for companies like Alibaba to continue their manufacturing business as it is rather than "risk" ideas.

I figured but I just wanted to make sure because once I started researching I began to see all kinds of reviews that made me nervous. Most stating that there is nothing that will stop a corporation from doing so and if it is profitable they probably will. Obviously I took this with a grain of salt but it still made me nervous. And I am unsure of how much details to provide to them and if I should just create my own app or if they create the app so that it is compatible with the device they design for me!

I appreciate your input Dale! Just thought I would see if there is anyone who has the experience with this and had recommendations for specific manufactures within this technology.

Thank you!!

Yeah it's always a difficult once. I had an idea in the past which was too much for me to pursue on my own & it was nervewracking reaching out to people to get them to work on it.

I think the reality is though that no matter what route you go down, patenting, non-disclosure-agreements, etc, the big companies could still run with it if they wanted to because they've got more money to run you out of the courts if it ever went that route.

The other suggestion by hsgoad is a great one, but I think sometimes it's just a case of biting the bullet. Fortune favours the bold, after all :)
