Question.
Since I am dealing with Entrepreneurship the questions that I heared the most amount of conflicting answers was around if, when and to whom you should talk about your product ideas.

On the one side it is better to get early feedback about your ideas from others, since it is really easy to be biased about the own idea. On the other side there is the danger of someone else stealing the idea and concepts that you took an effort to create.

How do you guys handle this.
I see a lot of ideas being discussed in this Forum at all kinds of stages of entrepreneurial pursuit.
Some don't seem to talk about their idea before they start getting Clients and already have at least an MVP. Others seem to create the Ideas or refine them immediatly at the start with the help of the Community.

Free idea:
I also, without luck, looked into the existence of platforms where talking about ideas is made safe. A place that keeps track who saw which idea at what time and creating a sort of NDA about those ideas (at least for a certain time after first encountered width the idea) that people have to sign to see more infos about those ideas.
This would allow people to safely talk about their ideas and get feedback, with at least having a head start to others.
This would of course need to be more refined but maybe its something someone here is interested in pursuing.

Anyways I stared but am not done yet reading Unscripted so I apologize in advance if this is addressed in there.
I also hope I'm in the right sub forum for this question.
What do you guys thing about this topic?
