Hi guys. I have been developing a new product which i believe has massive potential. The idea would be easy and cheap to manufacture on a large scale, and would sell millions in only a few years. I have been trying to figure out how to build a prototype and have done countless hours of research however, i have never built anything like this in my life. In fact, i dont have any tools whatsoever and also this product involves working with plastic which can be difficult. I am wondering if finding an engineer who specializes in product development would be a better idea? The complex calculations would be easy for someone trained in that field, and creating a working model would also be very easy. The problem is, to pay someone to design something like that would be costly and given my current circumstances, this is not an option. All my money is invested in another business which i depend on to live. Should i find an engineer who has worked on similar projects before and give up a piece of my company in return for his development expertise? Should i find an investor to fund development and patent costs? What advice can you give me on getting my product made, and into the market? Any advice would be appreciated.
