I get this at least once a month from my non-tech friends with the next great idea. I actually took one of my friends up one one of these offers. The problem is that when you are working on it, they have nothing invested and can easily just move onto something else and you are left holding the bag. I worked on the project for a couple of weeks and he eventually just lost interest and told me he had to concentrate on what was making money for him at the time, which was a PC repair shop. This was in 2004 and the PC repair shop went out of business went out of business within 6 months. I don't need an ideas guy..and you probably don't either. I have no shortage of ideas I think could make money. I would only partner up with someone who could provide me with funding, business contacts, or has prior experience in my industry. The other problem is that once you get the app done, what does the "ideas" guy do? Is their effort really going to be worth a percentage of the company?
