Cynical better title: Things I wish I knew before paying other people to build my startup for me.

If you don't have the skills or co-founder(s) to get a prototype off the ground with ramen money, that should be your #1 goal. Or, if you really hate that idea and want to pay other people to develop things for you, at a minimum look at paying developers in cheaper places to do it so you can at least vet your idea for a low price before going all-in on expenses.
