Very interested. How much about one's idea must be disclosed? Is there any protection for secret sauce?
Last week I talked with a competitor. I detailed my plans for the next 6 months. It commits me to follow them, and may incite discussion.
There is almost 0 risk they can match the features or my timeline. I am quite productive, and there is no secret sauce. Just complexity, and interdependance. Can't have a baby in 1 month with 9 mothers. And should they do, I will be happy to copy the unique features they add.
The disclosure opened some talks however. I am ready to sell consulting or some specific parts they need to do their product, and that have not much of an impact in mine.
