Moment. We come up with an idea so brilliant, that instead of sharing it. We only talk to people about it if we're protected with an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). And even though there is no chance we can implement the ideas on our own, we still believe it has value. So what do we do? If it's a bio-medical idea, we search for that person with the PHD to try to poach them from their high paying jobs to do "free research". If it's a development project, we look for the first programmer we can find and we tell them, because I came up with the idea, let's do a 75-25 split. That's only 25% equity for you, but you do all the programming work. That's a problem JMarley ran into.]]> http://blog.BuddingCEOs.com/starting-up/do-start-up-ideas-have-intrinsic-value/feed/ 1
