i have actually had an orginal idea, something very few people can claim.
I do have those visions, too. But most of them are utter BS and I a) don't ask for millions b) don't keep bothering other people.
It's even more complicated than that.
I think having an idea is probably the worst point for starting an exploration of a subject or concept. The objectivity can be drowned out by incompetence, lack of knowledge, narcissism, lack of objectivity and at worst blind optimism. I've seen it numerous times in the startup sector. Just because an idea exists doesn't mean it's viable, executable or even practical. The killer is you have to have a framework in which to test an idea to constrain it. Isolated ideas tend not to have that framework.
When you got to an investor and ask for capital to execute your vision, the investor is going to have a framework in which their thinking is constrained. You need one too. Otherwise you're going to be laughed out of the building. Which is what is happening here.
The correct way to approach this is to skip blue sky ideas and find a problem that needs to be solved. That might be a personal of professional discovery but it must fill a niche and your objective should be to either better an existing solution to the problem or find a new solution to it. The most realistic outcomes are from incremental progress, not large grand discoveries or changing the game despite what is promoted. And most importantly it must be something you understand intimately because you are going to get reamed by everyone on the journey constantly and any flaw will tear your entire universe down.
I have a
lot of experience in this, both from the investment side and also the side of quite frankly milking folk like OP for some months of contract work then fucking off very quickly before the whole ship sinks.
OP: please take the experience and advice above.
If you don't, as mentioned I am available if you want a contract software engineer
