What to do with a super idea?
I think that many Habra-people periodically have ideas of various startups, services and the like. Some ideas are completely stupid, some “in this-something-is”, and some seem to be simply brilliant. Dull ideas are forgotten, normal ones can be realized and see what happens, but what to do with a brilliant idea? Such an idea that seems so cool that it becomes scary, and suddenly you make a site, a large company sees it, spends a lot of money, makes its own analogue, and you just can not compete with them. Or so: you will make a site, but you will not be able to effectively promote it, and only two to three hundred people will know about it. I can assume that in such cases there is a need for an investor.
In this regard, I have a whole bunch of questions for knowledgeable people:

In this regard, I have a whole bunch of questions for knowledgeable people:
- Do you really need an investor or are there any other ways?
- Where to look for an investor?
- With what to go to the investor: with an idea, with a finished, but not launched product, or with an already working website?
- Do I need to patent the idea somehow?
- What responsibility do you bear before the investor?
- What are the risks?
- How is the profit divided (in some typical cases)?
- Who will be the owner of the resource?
- What is the role of the investor in the development, launch and promotion of the project?
- What will happen if the project does not justify the investment?
- The Update . Let's say the money received. What to do with them? Hire people?
