The Story
From Waiter to Licensing Expert
David didn't start as an industry insider or product expert. He started like many of the inventors he works with today—just an everyday person with an idea.
At the time, he was working as a waiter, figuring things out and looking for a path forward. With no clear roadmap, he began learning the licensing process on his own - testing, reaching out, and taking action where most people hesitate.
In fact, his first licensing deal was finalized and signed in between serving tables.
That moment changed everything. It proved that you didn't need a perfect background, industry connections, or a "big break" to get started—you just needed the right approach and the willingness to take action.
After going on to complete hundreds of deals and work across multiple industries, David began to notice a pattern:
Most inventors didn't fail because their ideas weren't good. They failed because they didn't know what to do next.
Invent Tribe was built to solve that problem.
Not just to teach—but to help inventors move forward and get real results.
