    Idea factory!
    I need help! I had heard about a new type of company that doesn't actually produce anything, just simply harvest ideas to either improve existing products or possibly create new ones. They then sell the ideas to the respective company that would benefit. I can't remember what the companies' names were or what the profession was called, but am very interested. If anyone has a lead, please let me know! THANKS!!

    Hello chiquita:

    I've been in business for over 30 years. I've never bought an idea yet. I don't know anybody who has.

    A company that does not produce anything? Sounds fishy.

    Ha ha, guys! I had heard about a company that does this on Good Morning America about 2 or 3 months ago but the name of the company escapes me.

    Yes, I had thought it was consulting, but this seemed to be a different kind of consulting... unsolicited, I guess?
