You have a product in mind, but don’t want to develop it maybe you need to
• Focus on the market
• Go to your Job
Or your product needs
• Expertise you don’t have
• Someone who has done it before

You can’t do it alone, so who do you go to? Product development firms can be very different in outcome and price. The larger more established firms deliver a production ready looking prototype for a large bill while small product development firms deliver an almost working prototype for minimum costs.

Match your expectations with your budget.

TO DO: Write up a concept description. It can be short or long, technical or not, include drawings from a napkin or a CAD file. Talk to a few product development firms about the possibility of doing the project. You may want some confidentiality so inquire about a NDA or confidentiality agreement. Once you feel comfortable with a few firms, send out the concept description and wait for questions that will lead to a schedule and budget proposal.
