I have many ideas, great ideas (yes, even I say so myself), but mostly in the tech industry and that doesn't require the hardware part which is prohibitI've.
On the other hand, it really can't be patented, only Trademarked.
My missing factors are:
Living in a not start-up friendly place, but it could be bypassed.
Money, not too much.
An honest partner, preferably who can help with the above and doesn't grow tired when things take a while, but would give a virtual shoulder tap every now and then.
It's a lonely route.
