Executive Summary
The Massachusetts-based Seedling Enterprises Inc. works with inventors who have ideas but don't know how to make them commercially viable.

Venture capitalists typically aren't interested because their targeted markets are too small. While the products may be niche, the returns, theoretically, can be pretty good--almost as good as VC returns, says co-founder Josh Tolkoff.
