Idea Protection

Share the problem. Protect the solution.

Solveworthy does not require you to publicly reveal your full idea. Public posts focus on the problem, who has it, why it matters, what you bring, and what kind of help you need.

Public

Problems can be public.

A public problem explains what is painful, who experiences it, why it matters, and what people currently do instead.

Private

Solutions should be protected.

Your full product concept, technical approach, business model, customer leads, pricing, and strategy should stay private until you choose who to trust.

What you can share publicly

The problem

Describe what is broken, frustrating, expensive, confusing, risky, inaccessible, or inefficient.

Who has it

Be specific about the affected user group, customer type, or community.

Why it matters

Explain the pain: time lost, money wasted, stress created, access blocked, risk increased, or work made harder.

The current workaround

Show what people currently do instead, such as spreadsheets, calls, group chats, bad tools, or manual work.

What help you need

List whether you need a builder, designer, operator, marketer, advisor, funder, or research helper.

What you bring

Explain your domain expertise, customer access, research, sales ability, time commitment, capital, or other contribution.

What you should keep private

Sensitive solution details

  • Full solution concept
  • MVP plan
  • Technical architecture
  • Unique workflow
  • Pricing strategy
  • Go-to-market plan

Private execution details

  • Customer leads
  • Prototype access
  • Pitch deck
  • Financial projections
  • Unpublished research
  • Anything you would not want copied

How access works

Step 1

You post the problem.

Your public post explains the problem and the kind of help you need, not the full private solution.

Step 2

People apply.

Builders, designers, operators, advisors, funders, and researchers can apply to help based on the public opportunity.

Step 3

You review applicants.

Applying does not automatically reveal private solution details. You decide who receives more information.

Funder and sponsor boundary: Sponsors and funders do not receive private idea access. Sponsors support the ecosystem. Funders can express interest. Neither group gets to bypass trust.

Honest limitation

Solveworthy cannot guarantee that broad ideas or problems cannot be independently pursued by others. The platform is designed to reduce unnecessary exposure by helping users share gradually and selectively.

Disclaimer: Solveworthy is not a law firm, investment platform, funding portal, broker-dealer, or legal intermediary. The platform does not provide legal, financial, or investment advice. Users are responsible for deciding what to share and should seek professional advice before disclosing sensitive information, entering agreements, raising money, or forming a company.
