Ask HN: How to decide ownership of an idea that you bring to your company
The company I work for is open to employee's bringing idea's to the company and if it's good the companies resources can be used to bring the idea to fruition, however there isn't a set structure for doing so as it is a new process. As such I have a reluctance to bring idea's forward as I obviously would want proof that I would have some compensation should it become profitable. Have any of you got experience in figuring this out, or work for companies that have policies in place for both the employee and the company to benefit? I would like to bring a structure to the company that we can all agree on, and would also allow other employees to feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
