I'm halfway through the book and....

[Musky Hunter]

I have a great idea that is not being done by anybody (that I can tell) and am not sure where to go from here. I have done some research online and it is all very vague. Does anybody have a recommendation on a person/company that could assist with turning an idea into a reality?

Thanks in advance for any help

Yes, me. I work with the guys behind the http://www.getrumblr.com hoax. Before I even consider signing an NDA, what makes this a great idea? We're putting together a portfolio company that not only acts as a VC to companies, but as a sort of shell for development to curb the costs of W-2 employees for dev work (at least until a Series A or B). Sell me on why it's a great idea first being as specific or as vague as you please.

This is a great idea because it solves a problem that everyone has run into at some point in their life and am confident (based off of a small sample size of people) that people would use the service that I would be providing.

Is this 1-on-1 consulting-based? You'd need a large staff to fulfill orders or it's automated by technology and requires dev? You can give more details without giving away the juice. I like automated that requires little human effort. Tell me more. The reason I, and nobody here should sign NDA's immediately is if you do something absent-mindedly that somebody construes as similar to that "NDA" you signed before. They can come after you, sort of the "poor man's" patent. And in this Candyland legal system we live in, they might just win or at the least exhaust legal resources in court. Not to go off on a tangent here. Nobody is out here to steal your idea, and if they are, they probably lack the ingenuity to begin with to properly execute it if they're here cruising for other peoples ideas. Your call.

There is no physical product that needs handling and I do not see one ever for this idea. It is a service that would be beneficial for the masses. I know I am being vague, but its hard not being able to say specific details.

If this wasn't already on the market than I would actually be worried. Competition is actually very healthy and is a sign of a good market. Make sure to test out your idea before even spending a penny on this.

Create a little sales letter page and throw some traffic at it. Try to get opt-ins.

I sometimes test stuff out utilizing Facebook PPE ads. I just ask them "Would you want this right now??" "Would you wear this" etc.

I completely agree with your comment. I have seen the concept in another country, but not the United States. Thanks for the information!!
