You won't get any takers for a deal like that. They'll happily sign a confidentiality agreement before looking at what you have got, but no one is going to part with any cash without seeing anything.

From: Ken Hagan on 25 Sep 2009 07:04 I've invented the same idea, but I'm prepared to entertain offers of only half a million euros. (Same terms as Skybuck. I haven't built a prototype, I don't guarantee that it works, and I want your final payment up front before I divulge anything.)
