@anildash This is exactly why I left my job on the investment side last summer & got a new one where my sole focus is helping inventors with their ideas - so that, yes, maybe it can become a business & the inventor can get some income from it, but we don't even have making a startup as our primary goal; we serve inventors who DON'T want that life & help them get a fair licensing agreement instead.
