EVERY GREAT THING WAS FIRST AN IDEA.
ICATGO
DISCOVER. UNLOCK. BUILD.
Millions of ideas around the world never come to life.
Some never find funding. Some never reach the right people. And some stay in their owner's head because sharing them feels too risky.
ICATGO was founded to change that.
We are building a global invention marketplace where inventors share their ideas on their own terms, and entrepreneurs, investors and companies discover the technologies of the future early.
OUR MISSION
To let an idea show its value without giving it away. A safe meeting point that protects the inventor's work and lets buyers decide knowing exactly what they are investing in.
HOW WE PROTECT IDEAS
01
Staged access
What an invention does is public; how it works stays in locked sections. The inventor decides what is free and what is paid.
02
NDA protection
Sensitive technical sections open only behind a non-disclosure agreement signed electronically between the buyer and the inventor. Every access is logged.
03
AI-assisted screening
Before going live, every submission is screened against global patent databases for similar records and reviewed by our team. Decisions come with clear reasons and can be appealed.
04
Direct collaboration
Licensing, purchase, investment and technical partnership requests go straight to the inventor. No middlemen, no lost emails.
WHO IT IS FOR
Inventors
Make your idea visible without the fear of it being copied, earn as sections are unlocked, and meet the right investors and manufacturers. Publishing is free.
Investors
Discover early-stage technologies by category and maturity, and pay only for the details of the inventions you care about.
Companies
Find inventions that fit your R&D roadmap, then license or acquire them and shorten your development time.
FEES AND EARNINGS
Unlock prices and commission rates
Publishing an invention is free. Unlock prices are set by the platform according to the section's position; the inventor's share of each sale is shown below.
Unlock prices and commission rates are visible to members only.
BEHIND ICATGO
ICATGO is operated by Sumato Endüstri Mühendislik A.Ş., based in Istanbul. Coming from the world of engineering and manufacturing, we know how long the road from a good idea to a real product can be. We built ICATGO to make that road shorter.
