Good Ideas that get tested will make money and mature with feedback. Truly Great Ideas hidden away rely on you (and your confidants) alone to mature, grow, and test. Perhaps part of that intrinsic value in a Truly Great Idea is the debt you start to incur working the Great Idea before it's ever given a chance to prove itself. There's a bunch of discussion about this [0][1][2][3], but it comes down to the cost of opportunity and the drive to spend that effort and resources. You've had your idea, already bought into it, and have the history around the idea that will drive implementation and innovation. Probably no one else you tell it to has that. And anyone else that wants to work on some awesome new startup is already circling their own fantastic(TM) idea. So share! Get feedback from smart people who will help shortcut the path to takeoff for your idea. Because if someone has a good idea in the same vein as your great idea and executes, how long until your great idea is yet another "that could have been me"? 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4732684 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4732684 1: https://beacon.wharton.upenn.edu/entrepreneurship/2015/02/no-ones-going-to-steal-your-idea/ https://beacon.wharton.upenn.edu/entrepreneurship/2015/02/no... 2: https://open.buffer.com/one-will-steal-startup-idea/ https://open.buffer.com/one-will-steal-startup-idea/ 3: https://www.google.com/search?q=no+one+is+going+to+steal+your+great+idea https://www.google.com/search?q=no+one+is+going+to+steal+you...
