To the OP, since you say you're great at front end, I would find 3-5k and hire a recommended East European hacker to build a minimum viable product. Put in a lot of sweat equity on your end to make sure the product is well polished.

Then use your claimed marketing chops to see if you can get any user traction or press coverage. Are people receptive to your product??

If they are, you'll either start making money enough to pay a superstar programmer, or you now have a real case to present to credible angels who may invest $50-200k to give you some cash to hire the superstar programmer.
