I've said this here before: If you ever do something awesome, tell no one. If it's awesome enough and the stars line up, convert it into your next startup and eat your former benefactor's lunch.
A little machiavellian, but not wrong.
Unless you're an owner or part-owner, the fruits of all your 'awesome' ideas are going to accrue to the owners. Is that what you want most? In many cases, genius coders, professors, and creative people are paid in prestige and exposure, while investors and founders are paid in $.
