Thanks for sharing your experience. I had a similar experience and what is uncanny is my idea was related to hydroponics. After I shelved my ideas, literally a year later I heard radio adverts in my local radio station advertising similar product to the the one I had developed. At this point in time I have just started a new job and getting up to speed with my day job. A part of me feels there is enough space for many players in the field. We have Dell, HP, Apple. So maybe there is space for your product in aquaponics.

No way! :) I think aquaponics gained a lot of popularity around 2011, which is when I became aware of it and started hammering away at ideas. Maybe it had something to do with that rapture prediction at the time? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah, there's certainly room for more small-scale aquaponics products. Possibly larger scale, too. I had this foolish mindset that if my idea wasn't 100% original then it wasn't worth doing. The reality is that even the biggest of companies that exist today weren't the pioneers of their core products, nor did they necessarily innovate any faster than their competition. Thanks for the encouragement, and I would say the same for whatever ideas you shelved. Maybe we'll have to join forces some day. ;)
