Hi Guys,

But here's my problem.

Start-Up Weekend, the non-profit that helps web businesses get started is holding a hackathon event in my country this weekend and I'm registered to attend.

There'll be investors and programmers and all. All participants are required to make a 90 second pitch for our Fastlane Idea.

Now I've read MJ's book and understand that ideas are nothing without action behind it. I have two ideas and want to pitch one at the event.

My questions is, should I reveal the one I consider best? I already have the web app done 90% or should I go with the one I already submitted?

I'm paranoid that if I 'reveal' this idea there, it'll be stolen. I live in Nigeria, so some of you may understand the paranoia.

Some people in my country don't follow ethics in business.

Thanks for any useful feedback you can give me.

Cheers,

Ike
