No offence, but what are you bringing to the deal? I might be wrong but it sounds like you are "the idea guy" and now you "just" need someone to code your idea.

I often get people asking me to "just" build them and app or "just" write them and e-commerce site, or "just" code up a podcast distribution electron app and backend infrastructure with LLM recommendations for windows, Linux, macros, iOS, and android because hey they've done the hard part of thinking up the idea, now they "just" need someone to code it and run it for them and they'll be rich! How hard can that be? Jeez cooooome on! Just code it! Stop being lazy! /s

Most programmers who can pull that sort of thing off will see the complexity and hard work a mile off so the potential of the idea needs to be genuinely and honestly decent (no "like Uber for ..." nonsense)

Building stuff of anything apart from the most trivial things is hard. Going to uni on the UK is one of the most expensive places in the world - people there are already taking huge amounts of debt to come out with a degree which in itself is a big risk as there is no guarantee of a payoff at the end. Anyone smart will be hoping to come out with a good degree with the hopes of getting a well-paying job at the end of it, not pissing it all up the wall.

I'd recommend to knuckle down and concentrate on your studies first. If you don't know how to program yourself, use your spare time to do so and just build stuff and get experience. Launch a few solo-dev things to again experience and get exposure.

Good luck.

Actually I'm may be the idea guy but also the builder. I know how to code. My question may not be very clear but I was asking how can I meet hardcore builders who are interested in startups (rather than high-paid jobs in large companies) in the UK.

Also, I do launch projects of my own all the time, I am trying to understand how the exposure part works.
