45 concepts across 10 categories. Each one documented, evaluated, and waiting for the building that develops them.
This portfolio began with twenty years of inventing, building, and hitting the same funding walls that stop most independent inventors. Every concept has been documented and evaluated using SmithScore — the Foundation’s proprietary assessment methodology built from two decades of watching inventions fail for the wrong reasons.
These 45 concepts are the founder’s. They are the first inventory in a pipeline designed for thousands. As CrowdSmith grows, the inventor pipeline opens to inventors everywhere — with IP protection built in from day one and the inventor retaining full ownership of everything they create.
Every concept in the portfolio follows the same structured pathway. The pipeline is the system. The building is where it happens.
SmithScore evaluates an invention’s commercial viability before a dollar is spent. Ten weighted categories: market viability, IP protection, technical feasibility, prototype pathway, competitive landscape, demonstration potential, revenue path, licensing attractiveness, capital efficiency, and founder readiness.
The methodology was built from twenty years of watching inventions fail for the wrong reasons. It catches the failure modes that kill ideas — great product with no market, great market with impossible execution, great everything except the founder isn’t ready. Four independent AI systems validated the framework’s logical consistency and coverage.
CrowdSmith protects intellectual property — the founder’s and every inventor’s who enters the pipeline. Concept names, mechanisms, functional descriptions, and domain names are not published on this website.
Full concept documentation — including SmithScore evaluations, market analysis, and development roadmaps — is available under NDA to qualified partners and institutional collaborators.
This is not secrecy. Every concept in this portfolio is pre-patent. Public disclosure of mechanisms or functional claims before patent filing can permanently compromise an inventor’s rights. That obligation is the reason CrowdSmith exists.
