Comment on Ask HN: Startup idea but possible conflict of interest?

Comments

The only way you could ensure it wasn't biased was to contact the competitors to potentially discuss the idea.

Then you can safely say you've worked with all parties concerned beforehand and an unbiased review website will draw attention to where each company can improve.

Seems very sensible. I hadn't thought about doing it. I'll draw up a list and start sending emails out.

My current client is going to talk to me about the idea Monday. He has alot of knowledge and could help verify the idea. I suspect he will tell me all his horror stories of other companies trying this previously.
