Invention to Market, Since 2011
Every product
on a shelf was once
a sketch on a napkin.
EurekaSpark Co. is a Kansas City invention consultancy. We help independent inventors and small manufacturers turn a rough concept into a protected, licensable, sellable product, without losing the rights to it.
What We Do
Four disciplines. One clear path to shelf.
Most inventors are experts in their idea and strangers to everything around it. We handle the parts between "I built one" and "it's for sale."
IP & Patent Strategy
We map the prior art, size up what's actually protectable, and connect you with patent counsel before you spend a dollar defending the wrong claim.
Product Development
From sketch to working prototype. We help refine materials, tolerances, and cost of goods so the thing you built can actually be manufactured at scale.
Licensing & Manufacturing
We introduce viable products to manufacturers and retailers already looking to license, so you keep the rights and collect royalties instead of chasing a factory alone.
Funding & Investor Intros
For ideas that need capital before they need a shelf, we prepare the pitch and make warm introductions to investors who fund early-stage physical products.
The Process
From napkin sketch to store shelf.
A straightforward, four-stage evaluation. No retainer required to find out if your idea is worth pursuing.
Idea Intake & Screening
Send us your concept, sketch, or working prototype. We give you an honest read on originality, market size, and manufacturing feasibility within two weeks.
Protection & Refinement
If the idea clears screening, we help file the right protection and refine the design for real-world manufacturing, not just a one-off prototype.
Matchmaking
We take the refined concept to our network of manufacturers, licensees, and retail buyers already looking for products exactly like yours.
Deal & Royalties
We negotiate the license or purchase agreement on your behalf, so you keep the rights to your invention and collect royalties as it sells.
Recent Placements
A few ideas we've helped reach shelf.
