Well maybe the message went out wrong.

This is not what I was asking for! Infact, we are both programmers. So I wasn't trying to offense anybody!

The thing is that if we get an early investment of 10K (we also want to ask for the less possible that we could need) we dont want to blow it off inmediately on one single guy...

What I was asking is how to invest it the better way possible to finish a prototype? (that is what I meant with cheap)

What I was looking for are things like: 1. Hire a prgrammer for a month for around 5K to help you with the core. You can find them in ... 2. At the same time hire 2 trainees for 2K each and... etc

Can someone give me an advice on that?

5k? 2K? You aren't going to find developers to work for that money for such a short timespan.

If you are two software developers, time to buckle down and build an MVP. Being 2 developers you are in a great position to do this. Once you have that, and still no money, you'll only have equity, so find a co-founder who believes in your product and give him equity. Build out the product, get traction and then go looking for capital, any financing round at this point should give you enough cash to make solid hires. Then it's time to really get to work.
