Here's the thing: if you don't release your idea, the other person can't copy it, can't improve, and you won't feel that wolf at your back.
As a Canadian, I'm used to being the underdog. But I built a $100MM underdog. Use the motivation, and we built in public (check wayback for b5media). In 2000s.
A) ideas are actually quite easy, hell many VCs will tell you what they want to invest in
B) if someone steals your idea and improves it, guess what, your idea just improved
C) if someone steals your idea and does it better, guess what, you're Canadian
It's rarely the idea on its own, but the execution that matters and don't forget, it's not just the product but building a business around the product that will ultimately determine the project's outcome.
I’ve convinced myself that there is abundance, so there’s enough for both me and you. Plus, I work in spaces that have often been ignored by developers.
