Has anyone asked the Winklevoss twins what they think of &quot;no-one will steal your idea, tell everyone!&quot;<p>I know &quot;no-one will steal your idea&quot; is the accepted wisdom but I don&#x27;t buy it.<p>I think &quot;no-one will steal your idea&quot; because in the vast majority of cases, your idea is crap.<p>If your idea is absolutely compelling then people with the resources and motivation will steal it. Why wouldn&#x27;t they? If you told me an idea that was a huge opportunity, and if you were not a friend whom I had loyalty to, then I would build your idea for myself. I have the time and the ability to, so why wouldn&#x27;t I?<p>I think build your software to the point that it implements the vision you have in mind then release it. That&#x27;s my idea of MVP - minimum valuable product.

Agree, the idea doesn&#x27;t even matter. It is all about the execution.

Founders are worrying too much about protecting their ideas. Instead of working people, focus more on execution please.
