It reads like selling the idea of an umbrella to a wet guy in the rain, and then suing him when later he refuses to pay.

In some cases, yes. > It reads like selling the idea of an umbrella to a wet guy in the rain, and then suing him when later he refuses to pay. It’s more like the wet guy listening to your pitch, playing with the product to see how it works and then declining as he goes to make an identical one to avoid paying you.
- vladmk 5y agoIt reads more like: You show someone that a telephone can save them time. They interview you about telephones. They then decide not to pay you about applying your telephone idea tot heir system and create their own. The value here is really in either a)the consulting or b) your telephone product being so great they can’t copy it. His app idea if he spent 100k and only that nominal amount likely wasn’t that unique or special
- pessimizer 5y ago> a)the consulting Then pay him. If they had no one bright enough to come up with it themselves, they received something of value.
