I have an idea, for a business in my school, and I want to hire a developer that goes to school with me, but Im scared he will steal my idea and do it on his own. How do i prevent this...
Thank You

Ideas are cheap. World Peace. There: great idea.

Execution is everything.

Do you absolutely have to hire a developer? Sometimes it's best to do thing by yourself.

Not the best feeling to start a business arrangement with. Believe u me. I've had a number of business partnerships and they have all gone well only because I've never entered into partnerships with people I've had doubts about. You obviously don't trust him. Stop right there and trust your gut. If you have doubts now, they'll get worse as the relationship progresses.

Why not make your first website yourself to start with?
