    I cannot see where I should post this, apology if this is wrong place

    Did anyone ever sell an app idea? I have an idea for an app but would not know anything about building it and I found this searching https://www.mobileappfund.com/

    Anyone dealt with these folks?

    This part would somewhat address my greatest concerns but if you have a really good idea the attorney part might be a really good suggestion.
    No experience with this company. The company I work for tried to use a similar company for a project and despite a lot of billing they never got the app finished.

    Thanks. The problem is once they have the idea they can express it in a different way

    Yeah, it's not hard to steal someone else's idea and get away with it. I would be hesitant to share ideas with anyone but if you have no other way to execute it you may have to take the risk unless you think waiting for a better opportunity will change that.

    "if you have no other way to execute it you may have to take the risk"

    That is the problem.

    Sure is. Maybe you could apply for a copyright or something first? Better than just handing something over.

    you can't really copyright an idea only the way it is expressed. They can take the idea and express it in a different way
