The other day i had a great idea, its no where to be found on the markets iOS or Android. So the other day i built it as a weekend hack i think that this app has great potential... I am young but wondering what the best way togo about raising money while preventing others from stealing the idea. Are trademarkets/copyright/patents needed to secure the idea? Any advice beyond programming the app is welcome... however i am mostly interested in finding out how to go about funding the idea. I would just need small amount of funding to try and scale this idea for x amount of months to test it and see how the public would use it, and if its something that would last long term...
Thanks HN!
Hello HN... I'm 17 years old from Rimersburg, PA i'm a young developer who has worked with one fairly large company on an iPad game and a few small projects of my own. My life has been complicated since that job... My parents recently got divorced and there is little to no money around my house anymore i live in such a small area that jobs are rare but my skills are above a regular job... What are my options as to making some extra money with my skills online? Freelance is sorta hard to compete with a school schedule i'm a senior at a high-school in my area as right now i want togo to college for Neuropsychology but that all depends if i can get financial aid because legally my parents aren't divorced yet as the court is still processing it. My job with the recent company a couple months ago (5) had togo because i was suffering to much from low-grade depression and severe depression because of the divorce. I know i could leave the sob story out but thats the sole truth. I've got some skills in server management Windows & Unix/Linux. I've got developmental skills in PHP, CSS/HTML/CSS, NodeJs and worked with some frameworks here and there... I was just wondering if anyone out there needed a young guy to help manage a project for a very small price as i don't live on my own yet i just want to make some money to be able to leave the area for college. Willing to really do whatever and learning a new language is no problem at all. I'm available from 3 pm to 3 am on the weekdays the weekends are whatever; i've got a nice development setup that i paid for all on my own. I've managed projects before using trello and designing projects in certain dev tools such as visio and others. I can pretty much do anything someone would need... If anyone would like to work together just drop me a line via e-mail at Seth@fane.co
