Cut your costs down to just rent plus servers. Keep only the technical people plus yourself. Have everyone work for free in exchange for equity until you see traction. The ones that believe in the company and the idea enough will do it.

Make one or two of them co-founders. Until you see traction, you have no choice but to keep the team extremely small and bootstrap like crazy.
