Not sure why you are getting downvoted, as this is the best solution that I have seen so far. Even in the Bay Area, 500k salary is an outlier, and the op can easily afford to hire a part time local developer or full time in a lower cost of living area.

Another similar option would be to look for a co-founder, and 'self-finance' the company initially. I am sure there are some folks out there who would happily take a lower % of equity in exchange for a small salary. And the added advantage is you essentially have unlimited runway.
