My advice would be to not share your ideas with anyone who would take ownership of them when the possible "reward" is minimal.
- jchendy 11y agoIf you keep reading, you'll see: > You’ll win a six-week paid internship if you’re in your first, second or penultimate year of study. I don't know much about UK culture, but it's possible that this is quite valuable.
- CydeWeys 11y agoI'm already employed full time as a software engineer, as I suspect are most other readers here. This doesn't appeal to me at all. Also, if I really had a cool idea that I could execute on that could potentially change the world of finance, why would I give it up for a measly six week paid internship? I'd do a start-up, of course.
- lagudragu 11y agoStudents would be interested as this is a nice addition on their initial portfolio. I agree though on the marginality of the price for the potential value of the idea.
- CydeWeys 11y agoI failed to notice at first that the challenge was targeted specifically at students.
- dTal 11y agoIdeas are cheap. The work to make a successful startup, that's the hard part. I have more ideas than I could ever possibly spin into companies, even if I were that sort of person - most of them I'm happy to give away entirely if it means they actually get implemented instead of forgotten. If I had an idea that I thought could change the world of finance for the better, then I would accept that I know bugger-all about finance and push that idea towards the nearest person who did know something. Not everything is about personal gain.
