Describe the problem first
An early idea is easier to discuss when it starts with a clear problem and the people who experience it. Explain what you want to improve before moving into a long feature list.
Show the stage you have reached
A sketch, working prototype and product already in production require different support. Be clear about what exists today and what expertise, equipment or manufacturing capability you need next.
Find the missing connection
The I-MAD network vision includes R&D, sourcing, production, inventors and investors. Depending on the project, the useful next connection may be a product designer, a manufacturer, a technical specialist or a strategic business collaborator.
Define the next practical milestone
A partnership conversation should lead to a concrete next step: a feasibility discussion, a prototype review or a sourcing brief. Agree the scope and responsibilities before presenting a concept as a finished product.
