Think of ideas as the spark of creativity. It's what gets the ball rolling. The next step is to get the customer development process happening. Steve Blanks has some great posts on this and a book. "No idea survives first contact with customers". But that feedback is critical in making sure you implement the idea that has a market. Now for implementation. You really need to create a team and that team should include people who can implement the idea and others who can ship and support. Your role would be to evangalize, read some of Guy Kawasaki's stuff if that's a new concept for you. If you are looking for investors, having an idea, early prospective customers and a prototype might be enough to get the ball rolling.
