 Business Entrepreneur

 Marketing/Product development expert

 Professional Grant Writer

and as much helpful advice as possible.

What kind of advice are you looking for?

Are you combining all these ideas into one business? My advice would be to start with one product at a time ...

What kind of "startup" are you looking for? Will your business model be based on manufacturing or licensing?

Chon.  You certainly have a diverse range of patents.  From excercise, specifically martial arts/boxing, a device for autos, and an electrical energy production thingy.  I couldn`t guess what industry your pendings will fall into.

Nhg...`s question is certainly valid.  I don`t see start-up for the combined.

If one interest you as a start-up, pick it and do it.  License the others.  You better do something soon, the oldest patent is 12 years old. 

Where would be a good place to try and find a business entreperneur with experience in the sports and exercise equipment field,and or a sales REP.?

I want to start by trying to get licensing for the sports equipment ideas i have.

Eventually i want to generate enough income from licensing to start a small R&D facility to build prototypes of all my ideas and try and commericalize these ideas.
