For inventors ready to stop guessing
Have an Idea for
a Product?
Here’s What You Do Next.
The Product Blueprint walks you step-by-step through turning an idea in your head into a real product you can manufacture, fund, market and sell.
Written by mechanical engineer, inventor and entrepreneur Frank DeLuca — using the lessons he learned building his own products and helping other inventors navigate the same process.
No engineering degree required.
No business experience required.
Just an idea worth pursuing.
“From my idea in the garage to sharing the stage with a Shark Tank investor.”Frank
Having the Idea Is the Easy Part.
Should I patent it?
How do I know if people will buy it?
Who designs the prototype?
How do I find a manufacturer?
How much money will I need?
How do I protect myself?
How do I actually sell it?
Most first-time inventors don’t fail because their idea was terrible.
They get stuck because nobody ever showed them what to do — or what order to do it in.The Product
