I have a good idea and want to sell my idea to a company.


Answer
Hi,
I want to advice you that companies sometimes do not buy ideas, unless already patented. If your want to expose your idea to a company you should obtain a Disclosure Agreement. You can get one with your lawyer or a draft at your local library. Make sure to put all the important points that you want to make sure they don't take from you. Some companies could take your idea from you and never pay you for anything. Another good idea is that you make a prototype to show the company during the meeting. This prototype can be either in paper (Like a report with graphs, draws, and all that stuff) or an actual thing that you touch and test.

If you have a product that you want to sell, try http://www.livetheinvention.com to sell it. They are friendly and helpful. Even if you have an small item they sell it for you online. The only requirement is that it needs to be made by you.

I hope this can help you
Thank You and God Bless You!

Good Luck :)

What is the craziest idea in all of physics?

Q. Also, which idea in physics is the most fun?

Which physics idea is the most beautiful?

This only goes for widely accepted theories/ideas in physics, nothing that has been discredited or has more detractors than proponents.


Answer
Crazy ideas:

1) Quantum tunneling: there's a particle over here on one side of a barrier. Suddenly its
over there on the other side. But it never traversed the space between!
Proven.

2) Superposition of states: (The universe 'knows'
when we are watching). Particles exist in a combination of possible quantum states, until they are observed. Observation collapses the
Schrodinger probability wave function, causing the particle to take on one of the possible states.
Theory.

3) Entanglement and non-locality: What happens
to particle "A" over here has an effect on particle
"B"...waaaaay over there. But they are not connected in any way, plus they are too far apart
for any signal to travel between them if they were
somehow connected. Spooky action at a distance?
Proven.


Beautiful ideas:

General Relativity: the way time/space/velocity/geometry
are all inter-related.

String/ M-theory


All personal preference, of course.

How can I pitch a marketing idea to a company without getting screwed?




Jables


I have ideas for several companies and I want to pitch it to them, but I don't know how to go about it. I have no experience in marketing and I want to know how to approach it without loosing any credit for my idea. Any ideas?


Answer
It would be easier to win a 100 million dollar jackpot in the Powerball lottery.

Almost universally all companies do not want any unsolicited advice. They'll practically cover their ears and run from you.

First thing you might think it's good idea but they might not. And without a cost benefit analysis it's hard to tell if your idea is workable or even profitable. Does it require an investment? Does it mean the company has to change its current business practices? Also many companies have vested interests that are not obvious to people outside of their management.

Second they don't want to hear it because they might be working on something similar but don't want to be accused of "stealing" your idea. Even if your case has no merit, it makes for bad publicity and they still have to spend money on lawyers to defend themselves.

Ideas are strange comodities and everyone from Hollywood studios to local businesses loath to pay for them. Every CEO and owner thinks they are smarter than the average person on the street and they already pay for creative thinkers -so why should they listen to you? If they want new ideas they will often sponsor contests or actually read what's in the sugestion box, two regular sources of ideas at little or no cost to them.

The big question is -what is your idea? -can it be patented? -does it really give a company a real edge, or does it make the company more appealing to a niche market that they aren't interested in? And once again few companies would buy a "naked" idea without a business plan; any idea without a plan is just speculation.

Can you put your pitch in 25 words or less and then back it up with a 50 page anaylsis? If not you'll probably be turned away at the door. Anyway if it's not all thought out other people will add or subtract from your idea and take some of credit for themselves.

I would sugest learning about the industry you want to improve. Maybe try to contact some of the company CEO's but unless you're working for an ad agency or a consulting firm expect to be screwed.
