I work in AZ, but the company is headquartered in DC. They acquired our company a few years back, and they're pretty new to the dealing with the web. They pretty much let us do our thing, since we do it pretty well, but in the end they still own us.

I'm not sure how litigious they are, and in the end I don't think they'd care about me and my idea. It wouldn't compete directly at all. I guess I'm more concerned about what a VC or Angel investor would think or if that would hold up the process or scare of other potential investors. Or if I beat the odds and did end up selling it one day, I'm worried that any company like mine might see an opportunity to snaggle things up in order to cash in on the winnings. Its a good company, and I enjoy it here, but I just want to keep things clean.
