Is the idea really as brilliant as you think? This is probably one of the questions that you are struggling with. To check your idea, a short clear summarize of your idea should be written down. This is called the elevator pitch, within two minutes a person should be interested. It is mainly used to get investments, but can also be used for verifying your idea.
