Taylor Cox, Koelbel and Company (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 493)

Taylor Cox, Director of Acquisition for Denver-based Koelbel and Company, joined host John Ray to share the news of his firm’s first commercial property investment in the North Fulton market, Northridge Center.

Koelbel and Company

Nothing is stronger than family—especially when it comes to business.

The notion of creating a legacy that was built upon the right ideals forges a firm foundation that endures. A lasting dynamic that attracts business partners that care about more than the bottom line. And a relationship-driven entity that always puts community first.

In 1952, Walt Koelbel founded just such a family business holding up those exact aspirations. Every day since then, Koelbel and Company has been seeing the possibilities and realizing the potential for Colorado real estate. The vision to try new things. And the willingness to think differently. All in an effort to create developments that people are proud to call home.

Brock Kolls

Brock Kolls, Gr8BigIdeas LLC (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 482)

Brock Kolls, Owner and Patent Agent at Gr8BigIdeas LLC, discussed the patent process for entrepreneurs. He and host John Ray talked about how Brock got into specializing in intellectual property and patents, products he helped develop at Coca-Cola and elsewhere, ways to protect your intellectual property, his connection with the tech community, types of patents, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Gr8BigIdeas LLC

Entrepreneurs, startups, and innovative companies have lots of ideas and can move through product development at a fast pace.

Protecting ideas is important, but ideas often evolve during product development. So how best to protect the early ideas as well as the final product?

Think differently about intellectual property. Embed a patent professional in your product development cycle or team to collaborate, capture, and create IP.

Change the way your company identifies new products and market opportunities. Think bigger and more disruptive. Act on insights.

Leverage fractional professional IP services to add in-house patent capabilities to your company. Invent more, pay less.

Get your talent involved in the patent creation process to patent smarter.

Working with private equity and venture capital firms, Gr8BigIdeas can support, mentor, and build IP for your portfolio companies.

They use a patent strategy that includes mentoring entrepreneurs and startups about the patent process. This approach engages the product developers and inventors to participate in refining ideas and collaborating in the development of patent applications.

They also integrate designing the patent applications into the product development cycle so that early ideas, the final product, as well as product variations for the future are all protected. They call it Bootstrap Patenting and they do it on a shoestring budget because that is how startups and entrepreneurs operate.
