Make good on your invention

Edison Nation is the company (also a PBS television series Everyday Edisons) that partners with companies like Pet Smart and Bed Bath & Beyond to search the whole wide world for good ideas.

Their current search partner is Ball Horticultural Company who is looking for innovative garden product ideas that lean green and make gardening easier for first timers. Think Topsy Turvy Tomato planter-type products.

You got a great idea? You sign up, submit your idea, fork over $25 (for a cursory patent search), get your great idea accepted, (yiippeeee!) receive a $2500 advance plus whatever percent you agreed on as royalties. Read the fine print.
