InventureX IS A FRAUDULENT SCAM
My name is Paul Roberts and Im a leader in the space of healthcare reform. This is a factual account of my experience with InventureX, a crowdfunding company.
I signed with InventureX on December 13, 2019, after being lured in by the prospect of partnering with Kevin Harrington, from TVs Shark Tank. That same day, I received a personalized video from Kevin Harrington himself (which I still have) saying how excited he was to work with me using InventureX as the crowdfunding platform to raise needed funds for my project, a healthcare reform documentary. In the video Kevin actually mentions InventureX by name and as well as Mark's name (supposedly the vice president of InventureX, Mark Campbell). Of course, I was excited initially to sign with them and the kick-off discussion was the same day.
The kick-off call was with Mark Campbell and Joe Parker, among others. As with many other testimonials I've heard, the initial conversation seemed professional and enthusiastic and they effectively promised the moon with a slew of goodies I would be getting including: pre-launch marketing, audience research and development, a Kickstarter page build-out, press release, influencer engagement, social media hype and email marketing. The date I am writing this is March 13, 2020. Since the date of signing there has been zero initiative, updates or otherwise from InventureX!
The Kickstarter page they promised has not been developed or even touched. I would periodically call asking for a status update but would instead get the runaround from what seemed to be some kind of a remote call center about how so-and-so wasnt available and they would pass along the message, which of course they didnt or it was simply ignored Often, the reception staff was very rude and quick tempered. I would also periodically send emails asking for updates, which werent responded to. Upon learning about all of the other testimonials out there on the internet and hearing the same stories as mine about how they were scammed, I was finally able to arrange a call with Joe Parker (though I didnt tell him I was aware of the scam when setting up the call).
Then on the call I proceeded to mention everything to Joe I was aware of and how they are obviously running a scam operation. Joe had clearly heard this many times before and was completely unshaken, simply returning the conversation back to how he could help me with my crowdfunding campaign-which I obviously was no longer interested in! During the conversation with Joe I told him that I would be informing Kevin Harrington that they are running a scam operation and providing other testimonials to him as well (I do actually have connections to him). Interestingly, Joe was completely unraveled by the notion of me notifying Kevin Harrington (makes you think).
After this call on the same day, I sent an email to the entire team at InventureX letting them know about my call earlier with Joe and that I am clearly not playing games and demanded my money (12.k) back. Mark Cmapbell replied to this email with a diversion tactic similar to that used by Joe in my conversation with him, simply turning the focus back to how they can help me with my crowdfunding campaign (really!?). After this, I proceeded with my plan to inform Kevin Harrington that I was aware of the InventureX scam.
My contact (a close colleague of his) said the information was forwarded to Kevin. Though I asked that Kevin clear his name, I never heard back from one Kevin Harrington...

They are a complete scam.
I decided to do business with Inventurex last year because they associate themselves with Shark Tank and Kevin Harrington. So I didnt worry about the companies credibility and check here first or for negative reviews.
WHAT A MISTAKE!!!! What a shame Shark Tank is associated with them and I will be filing a complaint with them also. I gave a 28k to start my project which they said was perfect candidate for their service. They said we need to get moving because this will be for the first quarter campaign.
They show urgency to get moving and make sure we could get this thing campaign running in March. When they were trying to get my money I received 14 emails staying contact and then when they received my money it got real quite. Then three weeks later I didnt hear anything so I emailed asking how things were going and they said they were waiting on my info which I sent. I send it again and again they said they didnt receive.
Three days this goes on and then they finally receive it saying sorry sent the didnt receive it to the wrong person. From January to now I have sent 20 emails with many ignored, I only received 7 emails and most of those were redirects or broken promises. So that tells you how many of my emails were ignored and not answered. I kept asking for an update and to see where we are in the process and they were basically ignored.
Never received anything showing me were they were in the process. No Video, Press releases, or anything. Just two lists of organizations and Facebook groups that would be a good fit. I could have created this list within hours.
The last email they responded to was me saying I better hear something, or I am getting an attorney. They respond within the same day saying they understand my frustration and the team will get back to me with an itinerary of the progress by Friday. No surprise NOTHING!!!! When they associated themselves with Shark Tank and Kevin Harrington and saying they will talk to Kevin about getting me on Shark Tank because I have such a great campaign.
I never thought I would have to check the credibility of this company. I cannot wait to see what Shark Tank thinks about them using their name as a reference.

Avoid! This is a Scam!
I agree with the other negative reviewers that InventureX is at best incompetent and at the very worst a scam.
I paid InventureX for a service I never got. After Joe Parker stopped returning my messages I contacted the Mark Campbell who said I could "cancel" the "partnership." He refused to offer me a full refund because there were "costs associated with my campaign." When I requested evidence that the marketing team (Joe Parker and Jake Peters) did the work they claimed to do, no evidence was provided. Specifically, I requested the following but got no response on any of this:
1. Copies of the emails the marketing team claims to have sent to folks on their backer list with the data for views and likes.
2. A screen shot of the FB ads the marketing team claims were in the testing stages.
3. A screenshot of the ads in the FB manager with date of launch and cost.
4. Names and IG or FB account for the several influencers they have contacted who agreed to feature the product on their page.
5. Copies of the messages the marketing team claims to have sent to these influencers.
To be clear, my Kickstarter campaign ended up over-funded and none of the backers were traced back to InventureX, so, clearly, my product and my campaign was not the issue.
Again, do yourself a favor, do not give InventureX any of your money. Please research carefully to confirm this review. The negative reviews and complaints are out there; they are just difficult to find since InventureX has done such a good job of burying them. Also check out Beyond Buzz Media. This was the company's name before they changed it to InventureX.

MAJOR SCAM
Avoid at all costs, these guys ripped me off for thousands of dollars and just completely disappeared Don't be fooled by the fake "Shark Tank" hosts videos. Anyone can pay these D-List celebs to read a script from them.
It's not real. These are the same scammers behind PRKick and countless other crowdfunding scams throughout the years.
- Lack of communication
- Blatant scam
- False claims
