Hello everyone and welcome to Future Tech Podcast. I'm your host Juliet Lamar and

joining us today is Amy Shim. She is the

director of client services at Invention Evaluator. Welcome Amy.

Hi Juliet, good to be here. Thank you for having me.

Of course. We're very excited to learn more about your company and what you guys are doing.

So can you go ahead and give our listeners a little insight into what you do and what you're coming

at. Sure, absolutely. So I'm with Invention

Evaluator. We're a team of just over a dozen analysts

based in Seattle. we essentially do what our company is

named after we commercially assess the potential market potential of new ideas, inventions and technologies that are up and coming through

universities and companies.

So anyone who has an idea, or essentially even a new startup, they want a second opinion or an objective opinion on how the potential of that idea can work in the marketplace we would do that in a

report that assesses the technical aspects and does a little bit of IP research as well as

the market analysis for those ideas.

That is fantastic because I feel like that's the biggest, not the biggest, but maybe the biggest

fear of companies is will this work?

Who is it going to work for and you're taking a little bit of a guess work out of that?
