What Happens After You Have the Idea: Licensing, Building, Scaling & Exit

National Inventor Club – Fireside Chat with Steve Greenspon

The National Inventor Club sits down with entrepreneur and inventor Steve Greenspon, former CEO of Honey-Can-Do International. Steve built a consumer goods company from the ground up, scaling it to over $110 million before successfully exiting.

With 35 patents and decades of experience in product development, licensing, manufacturing, and retail distribution, Steve offers a rare, full-picture perspective—both as an inventor and as a business leader.

In this episode, Steve shares insights on:

What licensees look for when inventors pitch products
How licensing deals actually work (royalties, terms, structure)
Building manufacturing partnerships and working with factories
Distribution strategies: buyers, reps, catalogs, and major retailers
Scaling a consumer goods brand to 9 figures
What the exit process really looks like and key lessons learned

Whether you're an inventor developing your first idea, a startup founder growing your product line, or an entrepreneur preparing for a future exit, this conversation is packed with real-world, actionable advice from someone who has done it all.
