Picking good partners is key in business. I can't stress that too much. It is much more than a marriage, it's you're work and you'll put your blood and sweat into.

Call me ethically challenged, but if the idea is really so good that you believe in it. Go build the app.

Ideas are like farts... some stink some don't but they happen all the time.

If you build the app, you can go back to the group and say. Here I built it, I'm willing to share 25% with the 4 of you.

The notion that, because someone conceived a idea, it is his, is ridiculous. Lots of people wanted to fly with wings and a motor, but the Wright bros actually put in the hours to make it so. Ideas belong to the people who bring them to life.

You have more leverage here if you have the working prototype in your hand.

And no one is going to sue over an idea for a business that doesn't exist.




'Ideas belong to the people who bring them to life.'

-- This. A million times. This.
