Read full reviewWhat is Davison?
Davison helps inventors turn their ideas into real products and mobile apps. It assists with idea and product development, marketing, design and patent licensing. Its customers’ products have included bakeware, pet supplies, health and wellness items, apps and more.
How does Davison work?
Davison helps creators at all stages of the invention process. The company can help with:
- Idea development
- Product development
- Pitches for licensing
- Corporation options for licensing
- Company pitches
The process starts with the Idea Security Agreement, which is legally binding and keeps your idea confidential. From there, if Davison finds your idea viable, its professionals help design your product. It offers 2D and 3D modeling, ideation sketches, virtual rendering, computer-aided design and 3D printing. It then assists in pitching your product to companies. Davison notes that while it introduces many products yearly, only a few make it to market.
How much does Davison cost?
Davison’s costs depend on your idea’s complexity and the services you need to develop it. There’s no charge for the initial staff consultation, but the website doesn’t specify typical price ranges for product development. However, it does note that the founder, George Davison, invested $30,000 in his first invention. Online reviews suggest its initial fees might fall between $300 to $900 and that prototypes can cost up to $12,000.

Ultimately, if you plan to move forward with an invention, it’s important to be confident in your idea’s quality, usefulness and need; otherwise, your investment might lead to little return.

Everyone that I have spoken with has been helpful. They make me feel like family as the project gets completed and ready to help people make their lives less stressful because they have one less thing to worry about and that's family safety. Mr ** and Mr ** have been very knowledgeable and passionate about helping inventors like myself. I look forward to continue working on this project. Thank you.
It was an amazing experience how you put everything together especially the portfolio. I really appreciate you taking the idea and what you made out of it looks good as in quality. I am very thankful and grateful for your help and everything you have done to make my idea and turn it in a nice quality headset for parents, truckers, motorcyclist and many more. This will now help especially parents who struggling with kids trying to make it to all their appointments although we can not control kids and their behavior. We can put our headsets on without getting a ticket until the child calms themselves down. No more stopping 10 times to the doctors office stressed out with anxiety and panic attacks because the behavior now we can both calm ourselves down until we can communicate and talk to each other properly.
No more anxiety attacks. No more explanation of trying to keep your appointments you were late to. No more rescheduling and now we have a headset that is legal to wear while driving. We now create safety first. This will help a lot of struggling parents especially single mothers or father's. I really enjoyed the process and how nicely you put everything together. Once again I thank for everything you do to make it possible. You just solved and came up with a solution in which in which I promise almost every parent in America struggle with. Thank you. I know those that buy this product would be thankful to have a solution that. Helps them make their appointments or taking the kids to day care trying not to be late for work. Your really did an amazing job and I am so proud. And thankful and grateful for everything you have done to make this all possible.

I was very skeptical going into this venture, believing that my idea would only be laughed at and the dream of actually having it become a reality would remain at that status--a dream. But then I met Mr. Bryan ** and from the first time I chatted with him on the phone, he changed my entire outlook and had me convinced that I have "inventor potential." I went with that idea and joined the Davison program, keeping Mr. ** as my mentor, motivator and guide. He was amazing, and I can credit him for making a believer out of me.
At first, the fee seemed out of reach, as I am retired and only collecting social security benefits as income, and I became discouraged right off the bat over the cost to get my idea developed, manufactured and marketed. But Bryan was not one to just say, "okay, too bad for you, bye!" He would not let me back out of going forward with my project because Davison has the understanding that everyone is not filthy rich and they are willing to work with the would-be inventor to make it affordable with monthly payments based on what you can afford. There are also monthly incentive bonuses to help defray the cost and reduce actual out-of-pocket expense.
I finally reached the pinnacle of my fees and now on my way to the predevelopment stage of my project. I really believe that the Davison Company is in my corner and ready to take on the challenge of getting my idea fully developed and into stores nationwide. I'm excited over the prospects and what comes next as we move forward in a partnership of friends--me, Mr. Davison, and his team of talented professionals who stand behind the Davison reputation. Thank you, Bryan **, for not letting me back out!!
Updated on 05/04/2021: I have started with Davison only a few months (December 2020) and so far, I do not any negatives except one caveat. They have been helpful. They do keep in touch and questions are answered and options to ask questions are given. My only problem is costs. When started, I knew that nothing was for free but what I did not realize or informed was every step moving ahead, has a cost. Based in the USA, all costs are in US currency and I am not an American. My project is going along well, so long as I pay the costs otherwise it becomes "stuck" until final payment. But as with any business, nothing is for free. If I had to start over and knew their pricing structure, I would have saved some cash first before I ventured there. If not for that caveat, it would earn its 5 stars.
Original Review: I have just completed paying on the feasibility of my project. Mr **, thru emails have kept in touch but cell phone calls don't work 98% of time, despite my giving the correct numbers. More literature on invention processes would be greatly appreciated.
I am very pleased with how Mary keeps in touch and listens to all of my stories and all of my feedback. I am so excited to be moving into preproduction. I find this product so exciting and good in nature to be able to assist in saving lives and keep people safe while we take part in all of our outdoor activities, it's really not just for swimming although that was one of its primary roles since inception.
I feel it's brilliant in its simplicity even though it's not as simple as it looks in design. I feel everybody should have one and hope to one day make it affordable enough for everybody to have one on every beach and every coast, and coupled with everybody's personal crafts such pwc, atv, utv and Motorcycles. I believe in Davison to bring this to life and so far you are doing a great job to bring this to life! I have so many more great ideas for you moving forward. I look forward to our calls and hopefully meeting in person one day. Have a great Thanksgiving.
SincerelyChristopher
I am utterly shocked by the humility and benevolence I have received from the Davison representative I have been assigned to. He is kind, honest, punctual, and he always brings me up when I'm feeling nonplussed. He is so wonderful that he forces my energy to match his energy, and it's always on point. He has walked me through the beginning steps to becoming an inventor, and he doesn't let me quit. I am excited to meet the new team member I will be working with in the next upcoming days!!
Whomever is reading this review, please be advised that if you have a product idea, or new invention, Davison IS THE COMPANY you want to work with. Looking forward to visiting Inventionland, meeting the founder (Wizard) who chose this incredible team of people, and is inspiring so many others in this country to spread their creativity all over the map. Whatever your doubts are about becoming an inventor, throw them out. Manifesto, seems silly, is the only way to live. Think positive, push that energy out of you, and you will likely notice that great things are among you and around you. And mostly. DONT EVER GIVE UP. And don't spend the rest of your life wondering what if. I'm not, thanks to Davison. 5 stars. And I'd give my experience 5 million stars if I could. BRAHHH-VO team. Well done, very well done.
I have been very pleased with the progress of this project. I look forward to working with the staff to see the project come to the point it can be marketed. Looking forward to future phone calls related to the project
Ralph has been a wonderful individual. When he says he's going to call at 8:30 the phone rings exactly that time. He builds your self-esteem and makes me feel comfortable and most importantly he's a straight forward individual who I can rely on.
So far so good. Donald is very professional and courteous. I'll post another update in a week once everything is as told. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO HELP ME WITH MY INVENTION AND WITH GIVING ME CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE MY IDEA.
Davison has a great process that provides the right guidance for inventing from start to finish. No gimmicks. Proof of products in stores/on Amazon from real inventors. Research, development and representation for presenting to companies for possible Licensing. This is the only place to go if you want everything done so you don't have to figure it all out yourself, which can be very costly in the long run when you don't have the expertise and plan on doing it on your own.
I discussed my invention with my guide Jamie. He was very informative and helpful. I feel confident that we will get the best cost effective plan for my idea going soon. I’m appreciative of this help to get my invention idea turned into a reality. I honestly think I will be seeing this invention come to fruition. (Paul)
