Inventors Launchpad is a Tampa-based company operating in the retail sector that helps inventors move from concept to commercialization. Founded in 2011 by Carmine Denisco and Rick Valderrama, the firm later added Lloyd Yazbek as managing partner in 2014. Its approach centers on a published roadmap to guide inventors through product viability and market readiness, which has also informed a popular podcast on iTunes. In addition to its advisory work, the company has built a sizable ecosystem for inventors, including the largest inventor LinkedIn group with more than 72,000 members, a high-rated inventor podcast, and a large Instagram following exceeding one million. The networks are presented as resources to support development and visibility, aligning with Inventors Launchpad’s claim of offering the fastest and most cost-efficient path to monetizing inventions while aiming to ensure that development spend is recoverable.
