All of us are under an NDA to ensure maximum protection of your information and all materials related to your idea.

You can submit an idea by clicking here. It will bring you to our Google form where you have to fill out a couple of short questions about yourself and a short description of the idea you want to bring to life.

You will be contacted within 3–5 business days after submitting your idea to our team.

There is no set timeline for the Five-Step Process since it can vary from project to project. Consult your Project manager for a projected timeline of your idea.

A Quick Explore—the first meeting you have with our team—is completely free. After that your idea will move onto the first step of our process, Validation, which costs $150. From there, our team will draft work orders where we charge by the hour for our services: $20/hour for NMU students and $30/hour for the general public. If you are requesting custom services, the same work order process is applied based off of your individual needs.
