This looks like a recipe for disaster.

I know, we've all heard the expression, "Ideas are worthless; execution is everything." I don't buy it and never have.

Ideas are NOT worthless; they have value, some much more than others.

So I'm supposed open my idea to others to vote on? I think not.

Here's an idea: don't ask me for my idea until you earn my trust.

If you're stupid enough to seek the approval and affection of a bunch of lawyers and mega-corp. Office-Space type VPs of whatever, you don't have the confidence it takes to start your own company in general, let alone to do so and persever in this economic climate. With all the time and energy you'd waste in this process you'd probably be able to find ways to do imprtant stuff for free.
