Inventing Success Stories

Congratulations Nancy Tedeschi for
being an awesome entrepreneur
!

From Venturing to Licensing, Nancy has done it all!
“Three and half years after she began the process of bringing the SnapIt Screw to life, Tedeschi decided to license the idea to her distributor. And she’s been breathing a lot easier ever since. A royalty rate that didn’t sound very high when she started out makes a lot more sense to her now, she explained. Yes, the licensor is making most of the profits. It’s also doing all the work.” – Inc.
