Entrepreneurs are Obsessed with Confidentiality
Common Misconception: “If I
discuss my idea, someone will steal
it!”
Reality: Ideas are a Dime a Dozen
Ultimately, it is better that you are out there executing on your idea than sitting in stealth mode, noodling on it.
You NEED Feedback
Most importantly, you need feedback
from potential customers
Discussing your idea with knowledgable people gives you access to perspectives
that may be useful in advancing your project
Unless you have algorithms or core
technology inventions that are worth protecting,
it is really an execution game.
Most Software / Internet ideas are
not worth protecting.
But many are worth executing
on.
Stop obsessing over
confidentiality, and get moving!
