I'll argue there aren't million dollar "ideas" there's million dollar "execution". Most investors don't invest in the idea moreso the team because most "ideas" pivot multiple times before it turns into something viable. Also no offense it doesn't matter how many people tell you something sounds good, it's an entirely different mindset to get them to pay for it.
Personally I don't like "unicorn" ideas because most of them tend to amount to nothing. Meaning the person is so caught up on their "idea" they're too scared to tell anyone for fear of it being stolen (nobody cares to steal your idea and anyone with the capability of doing so are too busy with their own "ideas").
My guess is your idea here involves something technical and you don't have said requisite skills or the money to pay someone else to build it. That means the only way you'll get this idea done is if you convince someone else to provide you the capital (whether their time and skill or their money). This pretty much makes you a salesman. There's nothing wrong with being a salesman and one might argue that it's one of the more important skills any successful entrepreneur can have.
