The fact that the hive-mind plays along with this doesn't mean one should go off parroting their potential moneymakers to people who could expediently execute it before they do.
Some ideas are your potential trade secrets. Simple design patterns was enough differential for Apple to sue Samsung in April 2011, alleging it had “copied” the designs of the iPhone and iPad.
Whatever it is think twice before you you round parroting it.

The hive mind will explain this away as coincidence but could there be something more sinister going on. Investors are cavalier about this "trust us with your idea" rhetoric but the truth is that you, as the pig in the bacon & egg breakfast, have no recourse. They may have liked your idea but not the team. They may have underperforming companies in need of a pivot. The fact that cap tables get passed around from so called confidential meetings should scream play your cards close to your chest. What else are they sharing? Principles often crumble under self interest.
