I can tell you I have been to many tech meetups in the past year and there is ALWAYS some guy I talk to who is thinking of a price comparison product. Even Julie Gichuru alredy has a price comparison segment on prime time news. What makes you think your idea is so special? The problem here is Kenyan techies putting too big a premium on the idea. I can sit down with some friends at the iHubfor 3 hours and by that time we will have come up with 30 billion-shilling potential ideas.In fact, in the last 2 minutes of typing this, I have already come up with one: country-specific web research for Africa. Take it where you want.
Ayienda, in a free market, ideas are nothing, and NDAs are a waste of time. Implementation is everything. PS: People don't copy ideas, they copy profits.
