Dear Friend, I'm going to tell you something almost nobody in Australia knows. For the last 25 years, I've been quietly taking app and software ideas from everyday people and selling them directly to the biggest technology companies on earth. Amazon. Google. Microsoft. Oracle. Shopify. Not pitching them. Not "getting meetings." Selling them. For six and seven figures. My name is Justin Harcourt. Unless you've been in my world, you've never heard of me. I don't do podcasts. I don't do TikTok. I don't need to. Here's why I'm writing to you today. If you have a software or app idea, something you've been thinking about for months, maybe years, something you believe could actually be worth real money... ...then the worst thing you could do right now is try to build it. I know. That sounds insane. You'd think step one is "find a developer." Everyone thinks that. And that's exactly why 95% of them end up with nothing. Let me tell you what actually happens. Someone has a brilliant idea. They get excited. They find a developer, usually offshore, sometimes local. They spend six months going back and forth on features. They burn through their savings. They launch something. Nobody cares. The app sits in the App Store with 11 downloads, nine of which are family members. Sound familiar? It should. It happens thousands of times a year in this country alone. Now let me tell you what happened to Tom from Adelaide. Tom had an idea. A good one. It had been sitting in his Notes app for over a year. He didn't know what to do with it. He didn't have a technical background. He didn't have investors. He just had this idea he couldn't stop thinking about. He found me. Twelve months later, Google paid Tom over seven figures for that idea. He never wrote a line of code. He never hired a developer. He never quit his day job. Or take Cameron from Mt Isa. Cameron was doing FIFO work in the mines. Fly in, fly out, week after week. Somewhere between shifts he came up with an AI concept. Something he thought could change how companies handle a specific problem. He didn't know anyone in tech. He didn't have a business degree. He had an idea and my phone number. AWS paid Cameron over $500,000. Now, I'm not telling you these stories so you think this is easy. It's not. Not every idea gets sold. Not every concept is worth seven figures. But here's what I'll tell you that no developer ever will: The idea is the valuable part. Not the code. Not the app. Not the interface. The idea, structured properly and put in front of the right buyer, is what these companies pay for. I don't build apps. I don't write code. I don't do development. What I do is take your idea, work with you to structure it properly, and then broker it directly to the R&D divisions of companies that spend billions every year acquiring exactly this kind of thing. I've been doing this for 25 years. I work with roughly 60 entrepreneurs at any given time. And I have direct relationships with the people inside these companies who actually make buying decisions. This is not a course. There is no webinar. There is no "community" you're joining. I'm a bloke with a phone, a rolodex that took two decades to build, and a track record of getting ideas sold. So here's what I'd suggest. If you've got an idea, even if it's rough, even if it's just a concept in your head, answer a couple of quick questions, leave your details, and I'll call you. Personally. Not an assistant. Not a sales rep. Me. Completely free of charge, no obligation, and NDAs provided before any details get discussed. That's it. Answer the questions. Leave your details. Find out if your idea is one of the ones worth selling. You've been sitting on it long enough.
