Bunch of Ideas But Don't Know How To Realize Them

[zhack]

Hey everyone!

First of all, I wanna say that this forum is such a relief for people like me (and of course, the TMF book) and I'm grateful to read a lot of good stuff and I shall try to contribute as much as I can. I also want to ask something, and I hope I won't be breaking any of the rules (I read them a couple of times before posting this). I am aware this isn't a crowd sourcing site, I just thought maybe anyone is willing to help with suggestions as much as I am willing to help others, too.

I've came across several ideas (both offline and online products) over the years of my career but most of the responses I get is,

1. see if you yourself would use your own product, find out what the market needs
2. find an angel investor (obviously, I cannot handle development or production expenses)
3. quit your job, focus on your project and make it to the market

However, I really don't have a good way to test my ideas on my own unless the product and market is already there. I tried asking friends but most of them are not good fit for the product (at least from where I am). For example, I have an idea about a transparent LED panel for trucks rear side that would show Clear Signs of what a truck is doing remote controlled by the driver using pre-configured messages like ("Curving Left", "Go Take Ahead","I'm at 100mph", etc.) but most of my friends or people in my contacts don't have trucks or buses, and would usually just say that's a great idea, help reduce accidents! I have dozens of ideas but untestable or researchable in my case. (I tried quirky.com/kickstarter.com by the way but to no avail, perhaps they can't work with someone outside the U.S.)

Secondly, angel investors need to have to some proof before taking on supporting a project, which goes back to no. 1 and no. 3.

Finally, I can't quit my job because I'm clinging to it, and currently I don't have any savings to pay for the bills. I've had a stint last year (2016) at a 50/50 partnership with some local businessman, but unfortunately I got ripped off when income started pouring in. (it was a local ISP business and now it averages about $50,000 a month) but it was okay with me because my goal there anyway was to help the local community enjoy the internet.

I hope someone can point me to the right direction. Because I've asked around in my circle and it's a very common situation especially among developers who could come up with great ideas anytime, but are afraid to take chances.
