Case Studies

Consumer Tool | Retail-Ready Product

ProHandle

A patented ergonomic tool designed to reduce strain and improve control during use. InventSmartUSA supported product refinement and retail positioning, helping ProHandle transition from development into a retail-ready product with a clear path toward scalable distribution.

Kitchen & Bath | Prototype-Stage

Slice & Save

A collapsible, stackable cutting board system designed to reduce kitchen clutter and streamline meal prep. InventSmartUSA helped validate market potential, protect the concept, and rapidly broker introductions—getting the product in front of As Seen On TV buyers within one week.

Kitchen & Bath | Dual-Function Tool

Rapid Drill & Drive

A two-in-one drilling and driving tool created to eliminate bit and tool changes. InventSmartUSA refined the cost structure, prepared the product for Big Box retail requirements, and supported a retail entry strategy that led to dot-com placement and a clear path toward in-store consideration.

The invention world is full of sharks.

Inventors lose tens of thousands chasing false promises:

Prototype Mills
Overpriced Invention Companies
"Marketing Binders" that Impress Inventors, Not Buyers

You Don't Need Luck.

You need a roadmap and a mentor who’s been there.

That’s why we built InventSmartUSA — it’s the same process we’ve been using for our own products for over 30 years.

Don't get stuck in the inventor loop

Led by Veteran Inventor, Mentor, and Retail Vendor

Frank Saladino, Jr.

InventSmartUSA was founded by Frank Saladino, a veteran inventor and retail vendor since 1996. His team has helped inventors nationwide turn ideas into successful, shelf-ready products — while avoiding the costly pitfalls of traditional invention companies.

InventSmartUSA focuses on research, development, and mentorship — while our trusted partners at Trentco Innoventions handle retail distribution and vendor relations.

Our Mission

What Our Clients Say

The volume of information you shared was both invaluable and entertaining to an inventor like me and many others. You are truly an inventor that has walked the entire inventor’s path from invention concept to seeing your product on the shelves.

Tom Robbins

Inventor

I am so grateful for the class and the way that you provided a fantastic plan to evolve the product to completion is priceless. I was at a wall and this has motivated me so much and given me incredible insight and direction.

Barbara

Workshop Attendee

Having Frank essentially as an inside man at Home Depot, Menards, and Lowe's was extremely beneficial [...] We recently had all our submitted brands go live online and have been happy with the traction we've seen, and we are excited to use that velocity to move in-store.
