Maker/inventor needs a mentor

Columbia MD

Description

I have a creative, entrepreneurial side. I find it challenging to manifest the ideas that ruminate in my mind. I have an electrical engineering and software development background. The hurdles I encounter relate to prototyping, organizing research around those ideas that require it, finding talent in areas that I lack expertise (mechanical engineering, Android/iOS development, AI, etc), and funding/crowdsourcing. Robotics geared toward problem-solving might be an example of something that interests me. Think of some of YouTuber Mark Rober's work, but less for fun (squirrel mazes, giant nerf guns) and more for doing something meaningful/impactful (prosthetic design, health diagnostic tools, inspection robots for specific situations, and so on). Help me be maximally productive. Help me do something fulfilling. Help me find an angel investor or solicit crowdsourced funding when necessary. Help me create and do.
