Stealing Ideas (Using a reddit case as example) in 2026.

My simple warning: Be careful sharing your ideas publicly.

My background: I'm a former VC backed founder. Raised $5M for my previous company, vibe coding a new one now, with paying customers.

Case in Point: Last week a representative from Forum Ventures posted on reddit (Here) to pitch your ideas to them.

What they didn't mention is, they will in turn pitch ideas to proven founders who've already made lots of money, through their networks on linkedin (Here).

Why Am I saying this now?
5 years ago, to have simply an idea, no one cared -- why? Because you'd have to go code it yourself, build a team, and raise money. That's hard. So hard < 1% of people could do it with a 90% failure rate.

Now AI is here. Now AI can build it for 1% of the money in 1% of the time. Your ideas you share publicly can get legitimate competition from legititimate people very easily -- including from VC's.

AI

I've said publicly on reddit that from my experience with Forum Ventures, I think they're a very shady organization, and now I'm proving it to you. But I dont think theres anything unorigal about what Im saying. This can go for many orgs and people.
