The Independent Comprehensive Patent Search It’s an age old question and I bet you’re wondering what a chicken or egg has to do with inventing. Well actually, nothing. But it’s the analogy that’s important here. Because many inventors are led to believe that the order in which they take certain steps doesn’t matter. That is […]
We’ve previously released articles that outline how one of the advantages of investing with the AOS family funds is that there is no fee associated with doing so. And what makes that possible is that the company makes its money from the same royalties that the investor does. But that was a bit simplistic in […]
In previous literature we discussed that one way investments with the family funds helps to mitigate risk is by offering more diversification with the funds invested. Investments get spread across multiple inventions and not everything gets sunk in to just one idea. I wanted to take the opportunity to expand on this diversification because I […]
We’ve mentioned in some of our previous literature that when an invention is approved to receive backing from the funds family, we cap the total amount we are willing to invest in any one invention at $75,000. The purpose of this article is to offer a little more information on WHY we specifically set that […]
Since the day of the cave man, we have been wired to fix a problem, to innovate our way out of trouble. After all, if you couldn’t start a fire, you didn’t eat. If you couldn’t fix a wagon on the wagon train, you got left behind. Some people innovate and some people support the […]

What’s in a name? Many of you will recognize the famous line from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Just like in the play, a name can carry more than just the most rudimentary meaning. A lot of consideration went in to choosing Archimedes’ as our namesake. Archimedes probably isn’t the first historical figure that comes to […]
It’s very important to understand the relationship that exists between Archimedes’ Offspring (AOS) and the Da Vinci Invention Investment Fund-I (DVIIF-I). AOS is the management company and acts as a funnel of information for the potential inventions to be presented to the board that manages the funds. The reason this relationship is so critical for […]
For any potential investors interested in progressing with AOS investment opportunities, understanding the AOS process of commercializing a product is important. It’s also important to learn how an invention and its inventor qualify for mentoring and funding assistance. After all, how can we ask anyone to trust Da Vinci Invention Investment Fund I (DVIIF-I) with […]
Why do retail investors have such a hard time making any real profit off investments? The problem stems from the current dynamic created by securities laws preferential treatment towards the “accredited investors”. Historically, or at least in the last 30-40 years, most of the wealth that’s been accrued in our economy has ended up in […]

It’s best when you can bring on a “real partner” (someone who’s going to roll up his or her shirtsleeves) to share in the costs, hard work and rewards without you having to sell your soul to an investor.
Top Tips for Inventors: Choosing the Right Tradeshow to Showcase Your Inventions It has been a crazy few weeks of professional tradeshows; but then this is the season for face to face contact in the Business to Business world of consumer products. Experience has taught us […]
Professional tradeshows aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. While there are benefits to attending, potential attendees should approach these events with a critical eye. For instance, it’s important to be wary of tradeshows that have an inventor section run by a nonprofit organization that claims to represent the interests of independent inventors. More often than not, these nonprofit organizations are simply trying to funnel money into their own pockets at the inventors’ expense. Additionally, it’s a good idea to avoid tradeshows with exhibitor names that are impossible to pronounce and shows that attract a large international following. A high percentage of international attendees may signal that the show has been overrun by foreign entities, meaning a low percentage of attendees are American buyers. It’s also important to pick a professional tradeshow that specifically caters to your industry rather than your status as an inventor. If you follow these rules, you can increase your odds of having a successful experience at a professional tradeshow.
