Approaching Companies with Software Idea

[rbulph]

I've got a software idea. It's too big to complete by myself. But I can write code and I know the subject matter of the software very well. I'm thinking of approaching companies that could market it to work with them. I'm thinking of an arrangement where they pay me royalties for the idea and I work for them at the same time, developing the idea, on a regular salary.

 

Do people do this sort of thing in practice? I'd be interested to hear if you know of any examples of this, and how they've worked out.

 

Thanks.

I think people do such things. As I understand you are a freelancer and you can't go to your bos and suggest anything. But id your idea is truly good, I am sure there will be some company that will help to develop it.
