Hey guys so I recently came into a little dilemma over the past week. To make the story short about a year ago I started looking into a certain product/project, and I mentioned something about this technology to a good friend and his father. I didnt mention the specific product as there is lots of applications, but they didnt know shit about this until i brought it up. Anyhow this was a side thing for me as I am working on something else full time but I always had interest in this and was planning to bring it to market eventually. So a year goes by i meet him and his dad for lunch again like usual. I forgot to mention His dad works for a company that works with green technologies. Anyway they show me some product they are working on and im sitting there thinking WOW i told these guys about similar things a year ago and now somehow they are dealing with that. ME and a partner have gotten our own samples from different manufactureres and what not but we didnt pursue it full time. None of them know that we have been actively seeking and slowly doing work on it. So basically I just want to see what you guys think? Keep working on it without telling them? Tell them and try to partner up? Im supposed to meet the father next week. Im thinking i bring my samples and tell him that I've been doing similar things but Im also debating whether to tell him " All due respect you wouldnt even know about this if it wasnt for me" Which is true. Its kind of an akward situation but I mean, i dont want to sit there and watch them make a nice chunk of change, when i probably know ten times more then they do about this technolgy, but i also dont want to bruise the relationships with his son and him, but hey business is business.Any thoughts would be appreciated.
