1. Social proof. Can you find an independent party with a name/reputation to vouch for the value of your invention? It would be great to say: here's so-and-so, who works at X or teaches at Y, who looked into my solution and is happy to answer questions about it. Have like 2 or 3 people like that, people who have some reputation/name. That might help.

2. You might be better off turning this into a startup first, and then getting sold/acqui-hired. Does that apply to your idea?
