I'm a traveling consultant, currently self-employed.
For the last 15 years I managed and developed web applications, mostly in the .Net space, but recently in other web technologies as well.

I offer several services, including project management, web applications development, integrations with existing systems and problem resolution.

comment Should I pursue someone who stole my idea?
Richard, I'm selling my ideas and my problem resolution capabilities, as well as development skills when/where needed. The problem is this: you come into a situation where someone describes an issue they are stuck on for months, and asks you how you would fix it. You think for a minute - you've seen dozens of cases like this before. You know the solution is a single device/product/approach. You know YOU would solve it in 5 minutes, given the chance. What do you say?

comment Should I pursue someone who stole my idea?
Thanks Dwayne. I also about had enough of that "it's the execution that counts" attitude. Having been on both sides, and having been a problem resolution consultant for years now, I can testify first hand that sometimes a single sentence can solve a huge, multi-million-dollar problem. All in all, I should be a bit more cautious in the future, but if you want to sell your expertise, you sometimes have to prove you're smart :)

comment Should I pursue someone who stole my idea?
Actually, @Genadinik, in this case there is clear evidence that my direct idea turned into features in his future product, but I think I will let it go. I am well aware of the difference between idea and execution - i do live in Silicon Valley :). But in this case, I just gave him too much and the actual development is minor. I just hope he won't patent my idea and come after me. Thanks for the reply.

It's a consulting company. No property, no stocks. Will talk to my accountant next week.

Thanks Jarie! Now all that remains is to sell my company to myself. Hope I'll get along with my new boss :)

Thanks! What resources would you recommend I start reading, and why a lawyer, if it's a single employee entity? I thought a lawyer is needed when partnership/equity issues are at stake.

@Tim actually, very good question. I have no idea yet. Does it make a difference to the answer? What would you recommend?
