In Russia, Lefties and Kulibins are called craftsmen and inventors who are capable of developing original solution technical problem, i.e. create know-how with your own hands.

What is know-how and how to make money from it?

Translated from English, know how means “to know how” to do something, that is, to have technology that is inaccessible to competitors. Literary translation English expression- "know how". Secrecy, closedness from others, inaccessibility to strangers is one of the key components of know-how.

Closely related to this concept are legal terms such as “right to trade secrets” and “trade secrets.” In the strict sense of the word, the inventions of Levsha and Kulibin were not know-how, since they immediately became open access and became public knowledge.

Another component of the concept of know-how is the commercial benefit that the invention should bring. If it does not make a profit, it cannot be called know-how in the full sense. Neither Lefty nor Kulibin received any dividends from their inventions. Those were not the times.

Before you start implementing a business based on completely new ideas, you need to carefully weigh all the possible risks. As experienced investors note, only 30% or 40% of the total number of new projects are implemented successfully.

However, what to do in such cases when the investor cannot guarantee 100% success of any idea? Alternatively, you can take existing ideas and projects and “modernize” them a little. That is, add to finished project something from yourself that can significantly improve it. And here it’s worth trying to look at the situation through the eyes of consumers.
