Everybody loves a winner. And we all enjoy hearing the stories of how the winners got started, people whose ideas spawned now-legendary companies: Bill Hewlett and David Packard tinkering in a one-car garage that became the first headquarters for HP; Bill Boeing transforming a tiny, barn-based airplane company into a global giant; and track coach Bill Bowerman running to the garage to experiment with his wife’s waffle iron, which led to the founding of Nike.

But what about the millions whose great ideas have died with them?

More than a million patent and trademark applications are filed each year, and yet the vast majority of their owners remain unknown—and their products and services, many with potentially wide appeal, never even make it to market.

Why? The reason is simple: the vast majority of inventors and entrepreneurs have neither the knowledge nor the financial resources to get their ideas to market.

That long-standing reality is about to change through the formation of The Branding Foundry, Inc. (TBF). TBF is a full-circle funding, branding, and marketing company designed to be a one-stop resource for inventors and entrepreneurs with products and services that clearly have tremendous potential if introduced to the market properly.
