Tracy Clark & Alex McFadyen talk about what people tend to overcomplicate when it comes to developing a new product and the process of securing a patent. Alex shares his unique approach to developing, what he likes to call "assets", and building a business to the point of passing it off for someone else to run. So, what should you do with your "big" idea? Alex shares his thoughts on how to start, equity tips, and some of the first questions VCs have in mind during that first pitch.
