We take the historical meaning of the word "GUILD" seriously, which means an association of professional crafts men and women who teach and train others in their art.
Our advisors help our clients balance innovative ideas with the realistic need to keep manufacturing costs low while satisfying end-user requirements. As part of serving as an advisor member on a project team, you will receive royalties for your participation.

Building A Team
Individual members of the RTP Guild serve as professional advisors on a project team that provides 6 months of advice to an entrepreneur or company that is in the "fuzzy front end" of product development. Members are trained professionals from various applicable industries with the skills and experience to apply to each individual project from concept to market.
