A non-disclosure agreement is a form that a potential investor (also known as a venture capitalist) signs acknowledging that the information that you are sharing is protected and that this individual is not allowed to take your idea and make money off of it. Whether your venture gets funded or not, you should always have a potential investor sign a non-disclosure agreement up front.
