DISCOVER YOUR QUEST

 

v     Contributors at Quest have the opportunity to follow their passion and work in a secure virtual environment with other like minded individuals.

 

v     Contributors can post their ideas in a private forum where all members can vote and comment on the merits and scope of the idea.  This is an opportunity to get expert advice from other members in their field of innovation.

 

v     Contributors can post their patented inventions for public viewing at the Quests public face; the general community can give Quest Members some marketability feedback.  The public will have the opportunity to share with the Quest Members their consumer insights about the invention as a product, as well as to provide Quest Members with their opinion about marketability via a special rating scheme. 

 

v     Contributors can take the feedback from the Quest community and/or the public community and determine the next step. 

 

v     Contributors may discover it is best to abandon the idea or even, in some cases, a finished product,  and direct their energy to new prospects. 

 

v     Contributors can also take the feedback from the community and use it to improve the concept or product and resubmit it to the community for further insight or approval.

 

v     Contributors can also seek out other members whose input indicates they could add value to their work and seek out their interest in collaboration.

v     Contributors can also collaborate with those involved professional Associate Members, to build a traditional top down business enterprise, using the collaboration tools offered by the Quest.
