We launch products invented by real people like you. We believe the best ideas in the world aren't actually in the world... they're locked inside people's heads. We exist to solve that problem. We make invention accessible. Since launching in 2009, Quirky has rapidly changed the way the world thinks about invention. We bring new consumer products to market by enabling a fluid conversation between a global community of inventors, Quirky's expert staff, and globally recognized consumer brands. The world influences our business in real-time, and we share our revenue directly with the inventors and partners who helped us launch the most innovative new products you've ever seen.
