Skylar Macher's Review Sourced from Google
As a first-time inventor, the process is extremely exciting but can also be extremely intimidating. After contacting several prototypers across the USA, I found Stoke Ventures.My experience working with Andrew at Stoke Ventures has been nothing short of ideal. From our first video conference, I felt completely at ease. He made a great effort to understand my vision and expectations. Once we signed a contract, he and his team used their expertise to highlight ways to improve my product regarding design, functionality, and suggested materials. They are very knowledgeable. In addition to the design, he helped me find a reputable manufacturer and negotiate a lower price. His communication continues to be exceptional and transparent.Although I'm not a large company, I receive the utmost professionalism and consideration. This process has been a few years in the making, but Stoke Ventures has been there every step of the way to help me with my needs. If you need help with any step between concept and production, I am confident Stoke Ventures can help you realize your vision. "
Alison Rodgers's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Stoke has been great & more human than other product development firms we've used. Andrew's entrepreneurial experience shines in his work. Stoke develops products with the whole business process in mind from material and manufacturing sourcing to fulfillment and marketing and that has, a few times now, saved us headaches before they even began (and saved us a lot of money). I can't recommend them enough! "

Andrew at Stokes did a great job helping us create some parts that we needed, enabling us to launch a new business. He designed CAD files for five different parts and worked with us back and forth until our vision was perfected! Andrew was flexible and worked with our schedule. Thanks, Andrew. "
Jeanna Frye's Review Sourced from Google
Andrew, with Stoke Ventures, really did an amazing job with my product. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of design and getting an idea to market. he was very user friendly and accommodating to my schedule, which was refreshing. I enjoyed working with Stoke Ventures as they really seemed to make the product their own by providing input to the design, material, and practicality while still maintaining true to my overall requests. I’m glad they were recommended to me and when I need something else designed, I know where to turn. "
