I've started to find that I'm reaching the limits of my time constraints what with holding down a full time corporate job. I've been trying to expand my network to get in touch with good developers that I can pay on a part-time basis for now since I can't afford anyone full-time. Even harder to find a decent part-time sys/db admin here in NJ! Thanks very much for the insight.

No problem. I should have also mentioned that we didn't add our first FTE until revenue was about 3x my corp job, so close to $350 at the time. My theory was that even if revenue dropped by half overnight, it would be possible to keep our FTE employed and scrape by long enough on the remainder to either wait it out or decide to fold (and that's with a year's worth of cash on hand). But I'm super risk averse, and others probably could handle less buffer.
