It's a novice mistake for an entrepreneur to be scared to share his idea. Even if it's a great idea no one is going to steal it, people are busy with their own lives
You gain so much more from letting people pick apart your ideas so that you can improve upon them rather than being scared of people stealing it
I thought the same thing. Not a single thing has been shared other than it has to do with drones and applying drone technology in a few different areas (i.e. agriculture, which I am genuinely curious about but have yet to hear anything).
I can understand if you have proprietary information or trade secrets that you do not want to spread across the internet, no one is asking for that. But even with the several requests for anything that resembles more information than what I stated above, there has been no explanation on what EWD's plans are for the business. You don't need to give us the website/social media/etc. links if you don't think that is in the best interest of the company. But why come on here with the proclamation that you are seeking VC funding when you can't give even a little bit of a synopsis of your company. Any entrepreneur should be able to give even the most random person (even if they fear this person is trying to extract info for a competitor) a synopsis of the company without giving away their "competitive advantage"
The biggest jokes of entrepreneurs were these guys I worked for that, when they didn't fully understand a piece of technology their company was working with, would tell visitors/investors/people they were giving tours to, that it was "proprietary." That was their go to move and they thought it made them sound smart. It ended up getting them no where besides collecting salary checks from the original VC that invested in them (which I guess isn't too bad for building a company on a toothpick foundation in the first place). I guess there are the few examples of idiots who out-fooled other idiots in gaining big investment on only building a facade, but this idea has given too many wanna-be entrepreneurs the illusion that you can trick your way into people giving your millions of $$ for your startup. That's why you hear a lot of people saying they've got investors "interested" or "ready to stroke a check" until they do the due-dilligence. Then it all falls apart
Like what do you expect? If I'm giving you hundred of thousands or millions of dollars I'm going to turn over every rock that I see whether you like it or not. Otherwise go ask for other peoples money.
Only reason I can think of this thread being started other than a grandiose illusion and an ego-trip is a magnificently executed troll job. If that is the case, then you got me OP.
But I am seriously interested in hearing about the application of drone technology in agriculture. I have my own agribusiness and am heavily involved in the agriculture industry in FL. So please, if you have info that you can share, I would appreciate it.
