Hello folks. Before I start I just want to share that I truly enjoy this forum and I continue to use it well after I have washed out of consulting, for career advice and support. You all have truly been great.
I am at a 50 person, venture backed tech startup, leading an analytics / big data team (quite tech heavy). We're cash flow positive. I work one removed under the CEO on the biz side (not the tech). I recently came up with a good idea for a complementary product, built it myself in our team in a prototype. Its fantastic - showed it to a few customers, they loved the thing. I have a few more prototypes we've built.
I thought I'd be given some resources to build it out, or heck - build out a whole innovation team. But instead, my manager and our CIO effectively ate it, and took the thing from me. No power, no glory. Not even first on the slides presented to our leadership...even though I innovated the concept, found the first customer, built the darn thing to working form.
I'm frustrated. What do I do? I know I broke some political rules building a thing, but do I really deserve this?
