I have an idea that I'm currently working on trying to connect the dots and making a plan and looking for investors. But I saw there's a startup out there doing the same thing. Should I reach out to them and pitch my ideas and work with together because they are just in the initial phase of it and I think my research and my interest would help both of us to reach our common goal.

But I'm a little skeptical about how they'll receive me? Or how should I even contact them? I'm a recent graduate

If you want to go to work from them talk to them. If you want to compete with them just follow what they’re doing and do it better

Oh it’s a big company. In that case apply for a job with them. Still see if you can find someone in product development to talk to. The other option is to build out your product as a potential add on to a more robust health system. Then sell the technology to them or another buyer

Patient health records is a huge area that needs substantial improvement. Good for you for working on the problem

Talking to them means they could easily steal your idea. If you want to join them and help with your ideas, maybe you can swing it and get equity if early stage. Depends the pains you want to go through

Sounds like a plan. I would like to work together as they already have resources and some ground knowledge and I'm not sure if they'll consider my ideas but if they do I'll definitely get some equity

I have a question about pricing. Some context to my upcoming question: My brother and I are starting a personal training business. I have six years military experience and he is still in the military. Collectively we have passed the hardest schools in the military and both love fitness and have experience building programs and are both certified personal trainers. I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.
