The idea isn't worth anything by itself

If you're worried about sharing your idea, you probably still didn't understand what makes a business successful.

Maybe from a VC business standpoint. But I'd disagree as far as "indie" (small cap) businesses go.

I think it's less important for indie businesses.

VC-backed startups tend to have ideas with a higher level of "originality", I think.

But that's my personal perspective...

no - from the point of view of the author of original content, the choice of aesthetics, markets, platform, toolchain and other are very important. "results oriented" management dismisses this side, since so many wandering authors have lost their way.. a product needs all of this
