I’ve seen a lot of people who don’t want to share and talk about their ideas for fear of them being stolen. I’ve always believed that an idea without implementation is worth nothing. But maybe I’m wrong.
Tell me, have you ever had an idea stolen from you?
Did you really want to do it? Or do you realize now that you never would have made this app/business anyway?
They think their “idea” is novel
It’s usually either a dead on tested and competitive entire market or somekind of worthless unmonetizable products.
Either “paper towel but soft and without the center part” or “chewing gum for the next week after being in space for astraunauts”.
Either someone that can’t for the love of god even use google or someone that somehow believe a niche missing competition might just never be because it doesn’t exist to begin with.
Sharing the idea is against the rules for wantrepreneurs because they now have to act, they know that real entrepreneurs will mock them for how little they even know about their own hypothetical market and product.
They are usually less knowledgeable about their “own market” than a rando entrepreneur in a completely unrelated field.
Most people that think their unique ideas have any worth are usually at the “peak of mount stupid” of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
If I had a nickel for every NDA that resulted in a conversation about “an app that finds open parking spaces” or “an Ai sales email chat bot” I’d have like a shitload of nickels or whatever
