Help me figure out if I'm onto something.
I'm Ric Richardson. I've got 100+ patents — you might know the software activation one that beat Microsoft in court. But having a patent doesn't mean the idea is commercially right. That's where you come in.
I'm working on inventions across cybersecurity, AI, fintech, carbon tracking, biometrics — and I need people who actually work in these spaces to tell me straight:
- Is this a real problem? (Or am I imagining it?)
- Does the solution make sense? (Or is there a simpler way?)
- Would anyone actually pay for this?
What's in it for you?
Before we talk, I'll send you a one-page solution brief written around a real problem in your industry — not a pitch deck, a working blueprint. The kind of thing you could take to your team tomorrow.
The conversation is 20 minutes to pressure-test it together. You keep the brief either way.
What's in it for me?
Honest feedback. A sanity check from someone who lives in the space.
No NDA, no commitment, no sales pitch. Just a straight conversation.
