Hello Fastlaners.
How can one protect himself from having a software company steal his idea instead of developing for him?
If you approach a software company, either online or in an actual office, with a certain market need in mind, and you discuss with them what it is that you need the software to do and etc,
what stops them from simply taking your idea, developing it and delivering it to the intended market themselves?
Maybe I am missing something, but if you show up at their door looking for custom software, then there is quite the chance it is for a profitable market. But the software guys can also understand this and act upon it since they can build the software.
What do you think? What am I missing?
