New Business Idea no how to code

[stringsonfire]

Ideas are cheap. The absolute best thing you can do is enrol in some online courses, free up some spare time, and learn to code. Using backends will save you loads of time and allow you to quickly build proof of concepts for your ideas in future. It's a time investment, but it's worth it.

All sorted thanks, got in contact with someone. Will see how it goes. Sounds promising so far.

Having a good idea is dead easy. Pretty much everyone does, and any developer or engineer worth their salt undoubtedly has several strong ideas of their own. Making a successful business out of an idea is incredibly difficult and hard work, and has a huge amount of luck thrown in. 90% of start-ups fail, and they mostly have good ideas. Some start-up succeed and have very bad ideas. A good start-up company could make chocolate teapots go a long way, an average start-up will see a free infinite energy device fail.

that's the main thing - ideas alone, in general are often worthless, its the implementation that often counts

if you're not actually doing the coding then you should be adding value in some other way - perhaps some specialised domain knowledge, having knowledge of how it should be implemented from a functional perspective even if the technical details need to be specified by someone else. Also if there is someone else who has to add significant value in terms of technical input then its likely worthwhile sharing equity with them IMO.
