Alright this is where I'm at.

My idea is a internet service per se.
The idea solves a big problem.
The solution is currently being solved manually and inefficiently on a small scale.
The solution will be solved with a computer program.
There is no competition currently.
The solution has long-term earning potential.

What it needs to be successful.

A person with strong programming skills with creating variables and formulas.
Good web design, marketing and networking skills.
Would need to temp relocate to market and expand.
100k+ capital maybe less if teamed up with well experienced people.

Why?

So far i've invested about 4 days in developing a plan and strategy.
I know there is a need and I know that it will work I'm just missing one thing.

1. Time. through my research I found that another company plans to use a similar idea to create their own service and open it to the public within 12-15 months. They have experience in relation to this service, more capital and better marketing. The only way I can see coming out on top is by coming out first and gaining the market share before them.

I'm inexperienced, need capital and learn or hire a programmer. Time here is definitely a large threat. I don't know if I can find investors and gain the necessary tools in time to make it happen.

I really really don't like the competition company. I'm debating giving my idea away instead of seeing them make a profit.


Any Advice?
