Summary:
Don't let you invention or great idea die due to lack of money. Today there is more money around for investing in a good product than ever before, and Jack Lander shows you how to find it, and how to convince the potential investor that your invention or great idea is the right one for him or her to finance.
About the Author:
Jack Lander has ten patents on products as diverse as laparoscopic surgical instruments, integrated circuit wafer testing devices, and a bicycle transmission that is more efficient that the traditional derailleur.
He is the founder of a small manufacturing business, author, publisher, and he has served as president and vice president of two volunteer, not-for-profit inventor associations: The United Inventors Association, and the Yankee Invention Exposition/Yankee Entrepreneur Workshops.
He has helped literally thousands of inventors through his advice, and many more thousands through his column in Inventors' Digest and his other writings.

"This book is a wealth of information, not only on financing, but on the whole process of developing, protecting,and marketing your invention."
- Michael W. Avery, Inventor
"There are many books on inventing, but the unique perspective of Jack Lander's book makes it a 'gold mind' of extremely valuable information. This book paves the way for many more independent inventors to succeed."
- Mary Sarao, Inventor and Entrepreneur
"You're going to pick up this book and ask, 'just another inventor's how-to book?' Well for sure it's a how-to book, and an excellent one. But, what's different here is that well-known inventor-mentor, Jack Lander, has bravely taken on the very subject that most invention development experts studiously avoid. But Lander pulls it off, carrying readers along a pathway with clear boundaries and understandable signage to keep them on the trail. This book offers easy-to-follow guidelines for bringing them together for everyone's benefit."
- Donald Grant Kelly, CEO Intellectual Asset Management Associates, LLC of Washington, D.C. (Mr. Kelly served more that 35 years in the U.S. Patents & Trademark office, where he was a director.)
"Wow! What a treasure! This book will be a bible for anyone who is serious about getting a product developed and on the market. Every paragraph is filled with common sense and the 'voice of experience'."
- Barbara Russell Pitts, inventor and entrepreneur.
"This book would have saved me thousands of dollars had it been available as I bought my product to market. A 'must read' for inventors who wish to stay financially healthy on the way to the marketplace."
- Tom Clickstein, CEO, Lotto Spotto
"This is a sorely neglected area of the literature, and Lander's book certainly presents a wealth of excellent guidance for any inventor needing money for his invention. It is clearly and well written and organized."
