I wasn't talking about your case in particular. These cases are different. I'm just saying that the popular (wrong) "wisdom" is that ideas are worthless, and that's an example of a pre-post fallacy.
I'm talking about the guy above you who said "I'm stunned by the # of people who are in the "I have a brilliant idea and a couple of powerpoint slides!" phase who expect to get funding." I may have replied to the wrong person! I think I was more with the guy I replied to. Sorry!
The very best business ideas will come from people with only an idea and a presentation because elegantly solving a big problem is both the best business proposition and the type of thing that requires only a well reasoned idea that simplifies complexity.
