Get a patent, copyright, trademark as the case may be so that when you disclose your idea it is not ripped off. 2nd, You are under capitalized so find a group that is willing to invest in start ups. See www.k4forum.com. Expect to give away a substantial portion of your company to obtain an investment. 3rd, build prototypes or at least make working models of the business and how it generates money and when. This is different than the business plan financial details. 4th, Obtain marketing tools, presentation materials, endorsements, etc. 5th, Network your way to "decision makers" Perhaps your investor can open some doors for you. 6th, Determine who your closest competitor is and with confidentially agreements in hand, sell your idea to them.<br><b>References : </b><br> 1st, protect the intellectual property that is embedded in the idea.

The idea itself is not the "key" for success, so it is not so urgent to protect it. What is important is how to realize the idea and make it successful and of course who is on the back of the idea and how she or he wishes to fight for making the best out of it. "Protecting the idea" probably is one of the reasons why many ideas are lost. Realization is what matters. Ideas alone have no value. So, what to do? make a business plan and a business model. And don't loose the chance of getting feedback from potential investors: what do they like or what not. Some weeks ago I've heard from a Microsoft's guy: "Planning without realization is dreaming". I think the same is for ideas "great ideas without planning are just dreams". Good luck and break the stone wall of protectiveness (the wall is made on paper...not stone)!<br><b>References : </b><br>Good news for idea makers: http://goooodnews.blogspot.com/2007/07/good-news-for-idea-makers.html The art of raising Angel capital: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/03/the_art_of_rais.html All about the word "idea" in Guy's blog: http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=33581960&pageid=r&mode=all&n=0&query=business+idea Hello,
