Meaningful NDA
Posted on:: February 29th, 2004
In response to my griping about the Corbis NDA, Paul points to to one of his non-chron bloggish entries. Excerpt:
When I’m at an early stage in developing a new business plan, I just write the following at the top of the plan:
“Confidentiality: Paul asks that you not show or tell anyone this idea without first calling him to ask his OK. If you tell one person you trust, they will tell one person they trust, and so on. If this idea gets out too early, Paul’s business could be ruined. Thanks.”
This “NDA” actually builds trust rather than erodes it the way most do.
Until then, it won’t appear on the entry. Thanks for waiting.)
