Protecting ideas is a challenge, but Brew has some solutions you may find interesting.
First and foremost, we emphasize that ideas themselves are not worth very much alone. Execution is required to bring value to an idea. We made Brew to connect people and to inspire people to take action. We believe greatness is created when people come together and take action.
Here are our solutions to keep our users' ideas safe:
Network Control
Just like friend requests on Facebook, you can control who follows you. If you get a request from a stranger, don't accept and they will never see your posts.
Private vs. Public
If you really don't want your idea stolen, simply keep them private. It will stay in your phone just like a notepad app. If you decide you would like feedback or would like to meet up with folks, toggle it to public for your network to see.
NDA Gateway
We have developed an Nondisclosure Agreement you can attach to your public posts. If you select this option, it will require viewers to check a box stating that they agree to the terms of the NDA before viewing the full post. While NDAs are not guaranteed, this provides added layer of legal protection and comfort for our users.
