Quirky

Quirky makes invention accessible. Launched in 2009, the company brings new consumer products to life each week by enabling collaboration between a global community of inventors and an in-house team of designers and engineers on all aspects of design, from sketch to store shelves. Anyone can participate by submitting product ideas or voting and influencing other people's product ideas on Quirky.com in real time. The company then shares revenue directly with the people who created and influenced the products. Quirky products are available directly from Quirky.com and through national retail partnerships with The Home Depot, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, and Amazon.com.
