Share your idea with anyone who will listen. A) If it is truly going to change the world, you'll be labeled a hero and will quickly gain support. B) If not, you'll know pretty quickly from the masses that it won't work. If you get shot down, you'll get feedback to where the holes are in your idea, which can only solidify your idea further. Execution counts. Ideas are a dime a dozen; even world changing ones. |

Now sometimes you want to ensure that the idea is actually developped.
You could have a nice idea, lack the means of executions, patent it, and then some big oil company may buy your patent and NOT develop it!
so now, you have two choices:
- either go to school, learn what needs to be learned to be able to implement the idea yourself, spend the rest of your life working all nights and week ends on your idea, while working for some soulsucking corporation to bring bread on the table and finance your idea, or
- go start up an unrelated company, so that you may become billionaire, and then finance the development of your idea later (this is eg. what Jeff Hawkins did, creating Palm, making a fortune, and now using the money to develop AI with Numenta which was his original purpose. Numerous other examples exist.
If you're lucky, you may try some variant of the second plan, where your startup develop products related to your idea, so that both you and your teams get accointed with the technical requirements of your idea, and gain some expertise required to solve the problems you may encounter for its development, and then, when this startup is established and viable, you might start developing this idea.
