How can you sell a medical boot you designed?

Answer 1

New inventors/designers of products need to pay for a prototype, that is, an exact example that is functioning. With the prototype, you can show (rather than tell) investors what is new, different, or exciting about your product that makes it stand out from similar products. This stage, though, is where most inventors stop because it can be expensive to design and manufacture a working prototype of a new product. It may cost upwards of $50,000-100,000.00 before you ever get to talk with anyone about mass-producing your item. It is important, also, to protect your design with a patent (check online) through the federal government. Once you have your patent and the prototype, you can try to get visibility at trade fairs, cold-calls, or even by contacting one of the producers of "inventor" type television shows (if available).
