There is a prototype video camera that has no analogues in the world, what's next?

Question

Startups

Having a prototype, drawings and description of the device, having read about Kickstarter and various schemes for the development of startups, several solutions for further development appeared, which became a dilemma for the project.
A) Submit a patent application (WIPO, USPTO), find an investor to develop the project, assemble a team, bring the product to mind, set up production of the first series, work out a competent presentation, send it to Kickstarter, fulfill obligations to backers, open an assembly and sales company devices, and then begin to restore the spent health for the dividends received.
C) Sell your idea to such giants as GoPro, Sony or anyone else and not wait for the day when gray hairs begin to appear on your head.
C) Apply to a business accelerator for support in exchange for a share in the company's capital.
D) Put this idea, with the rest of your already existing ideas, in a secluded place and wait for the moment when grace descends on you, or continue to enjoy the news with IndieGoGo as someone is already implementing your ideas, collecting $ 2,000,000

Answer 1

Patent and then commercialize the development.
If it's really unique and cool, then it won't be hard to sell. The main thing is to present / present correctly. To do this, you need someone who can speak, write, etc. well. (of course, if you are not ready to take it upon yourself)
No one will buy an idea from you (probability of the opposite = 10%), there are too many of them. It is difficult to say, at least from a preliminary assessment, whether the camera is worth a lot of attention or not, since it is not clear what is unique in it.
And yet, having a patent, in any case, you win, as you will protect yourself from the very beginning. And if the product is in demand, it will be possible to:
- sell the patent
- sell the possibility of manufacturing under the patent
- protect yourself from copying
But definitely - patent, patent, patent. This fact gives more weight to the product, which means that there is a real fact of uniqueness, and it is already easier to sell / attract investments.
The main thing is not to write any business plans yet) First make a prototype, and only then everything else.
Believe me, if the product is worthwhile, it will definitely find its sponsor and buyer (with the right positioning, of course!)
Good luck!
