We worked with a development company on a product design solution. Development company brings major fortune 100 company into the mix and asks us to ship our product design solution to this company.<p>Its great to be in touch with the major company but there is nothing that stops them from simply copying our design and running with it. So I feel at least they should buy a sample from us.<p>That&#x27;s just my ego of course, its not that those 50 bucks make a difference for the major company or us.<p>So should I just hand them freebies and hope they work with us, even though they could easily contract another company to manufacture our solution?<p>I ask here for more general advice. Is handing out freebies to major players a good strategy even if they might just take your design and run with it?
