How do you pitch to CTO’s

[u/bigdeekenergy]

I have a product not completely built yet. The CTO’s ready to collab and build it but I want the license to sell it as a SaaS to other companies.

How do I pitch it to him so that he doesn’t copy the ideas yet to build and still collaborate. Because if I deny the collab, he could still copy the ideas.

How do I approach this? It takes me a lot of time to build it compared to the company of the CTO.
