See a functional prototype before a dollar leaves escrow.
You’ve got an idea — and a knot in your stomach about getting ripped off, ghosted by a factory, or watching someone copy it. None of that can happen here: an NDA before you say a word, your money held in escrow, and you keep 100% of your idea — you own the shelf, not just the affiliate link.
See how it works — from the people who build it
A short founder walkthrough is on the way. In the meantime, start with a free Product Reality Check.
Built for inventors who’ve been burned before.
If you’ve ever paid an “invention company” thousands for a glossy report and a dead end — this is the opposite. No vague promises. No upfront black box. Specs first, money in escrow, released on milestones, with real-time access to your project from design to factory floor.

A few of the 700+ products we’ve designed, engineered and manufactured — for our own brands and for inventors like you.
Case study
From a napkin sketch to 10,000,000 sold
We invented an automatic jar opener, patented it, built the tooling, and sold roughly 10 million units — about 8 million across US retail. See exactly how it went from sketch to granted patent to the shelf.
Behind the build
What it’s actually like inside a project
A real peek at the engineering and marketing materials we produce — the work that turns a sketch into a shippable, sellable product.
From our bench to the world’s biggest retailers & brands
Three fears every inventor has. Here’s how we kill all three.
In writing — before you share a thing.
“Will they steal my idea?”
A mutual NDA is step one — signed before you share details. You keep 100% of your IP at every stage, and we help you file patent protection before any market testing. We’re your manufacturer, not a competitor.
“Will I pay and get ghosted?”
You don’t pay us — you fund a neutral third-party escrow. Money releases only when an agreed milestone is delivered and you approve it, with a money-back guarantee on the prototype deliverable.
“Are they even real?”
Daka International — a working product company since 1993. 50M+ units sold, the world’s first automatic can opener, products on QVC, designs licensed by SeaDoo and Discovery.
The Escrow-First Build

Built to specs. Paid through escrow.
How do you turn an invention into a real product — without getting your idea stolen or your money taken?
You protect yourself at every step. OddityOps signs an NDA before you share anything, holds your payments in escrow so money is released only when you approve a milestone, and backs prototypes with a money-back guarantee. You keep 100% of your IP, and you build factory-direct through Daka International — a product company that has shipped 50M+ units since 1993, with products on QVC and licensed by Discovery.
Why inventors come to us after trying the other two
Three ways to turn an idea into a product — two of them burn inventors
You shouldn’t have to choose between a firm that profits whether you win or lose and a factory you’ve never met. Escrow-first development is the third option.
Takes ~2 minutes · No cost · We sign an NDA before you share details
Three kinds of people bring us ideas.
Creators & influencers
“Own the shelf, not just the affiliate link.” Turn your audience into a product line you actually own — not a cut of someone else’s.
Inventors
“You’ve got the idea. We’ve got the factory.” Skip the promotion-company scams. Go straight from sketch to a working, spec’d prototype.
Brands
“Cut the middlemen. Source factory-direct.” Better pricing, tighter QC, and a licensing network when you’d rather sell the deal than build it.
Why 
You deal with the factory
Factory-direct via Daka — better price, quality control and speed. No middleman markup.
Your idea is safe
NDA before disclosure; you own 100% of the IP, from concept to tooling.
Your money is safe
Neutral escrow, released on milestones you approve — plus money-back on the prototype.
Proven, not theoretical
50M+ units to market, QVC features, Discovery- and SeaDoo-licensed products.
Make it or license it
Manufacture it yourself, or we broker a licensing deal — your choice.
Speed is the advantage
No middlemen means faster from concept to customer.
