    Sooner or later you will find out it doesn't work like that.
    As a Dev I've met dozens of people with "a great idea".
    Just to find out it revolves around me doing 90% of the work.
    I get paid 4k a month for my regular job why tf would I work for free for potential profit that's not even guaranteed

    I've already had my first acquiring offer from an incubator but didn't like the terms. Lets talk more to see if we can work something out.

    Can you at least give a short description since it's patented ?

    But it does. There are plenty of successful tech startups created this way and by people with little to no dev knowledge. That’s what a good leader does. You surround yourself with people smarter and more skillful than you. The work is irrelevant if we’re talking about the potential of ownership and subsequently, a life changing endeavor. It’s dope you’re making 4K a month building someone else’s dream but if the ideas you’ve been presented with were truly great, it would be idiotic to throw the opportunity away simply because it would take a bit more work on your part, especially if we talking significant equity. Even 5% ownership of a million dollar company is better than 4K a month because there’s no cap on that assuming growth.

    Most in general fail. According to the numbers, you’re probably more likely to fail than succeed no matter what country you’re in lol. Doesn’t mean you don’t try. Someone else out there is even despite all the numbers so why not?

    Number is even lower for BtoC apps, would be interesting to have a general idea of what OP wants to do cause that’s the worst possible field to start a business in if it’s your first company

    Except if you're a Dev you'll get tons of these people.
    Ive heard "but I won't tell you what the idea is, cause you will steal it and get all the equity" so many times its insane

    1000% this. If you really have something, there will be quality developers out there happy to jump in. But that generally requires proprietary tech and strong product/market fit.

    The fact that you’re not willing to share your idea is a huge red flag that you have no core competency/differentiation.

    I would check out Upwork tbh

    you can say that there is demand, but no one can believe that off this post on a kanye forum website

    if you're one of those people who seriously believes your idea has people gunning to steal, at least outline what the core problem you're seeking to solve is, what people are currently dissatisfied with in the market that makes this issue pressing to solve, whether or not people are dissatisfied with the problem enough to be potentially ok w ur monetization scheme, how you're gonna differentiate from other products in that market, whats preventing someone else from stealing your idea the minute your idea hits the market
