What about incubator or accelerator programs? I see you've gathered a freelance team, but do you have any plans on bringing in another founder soon?

Honestly, if your idea solves a real pain point, it shouldn't matter that much that it's a social network. Also, I see a trend in the popularity of niche social networks (Instagram for photos, FamilyLeaf for family, Badoo for sex, Pair for couples, etc).

Before jumping straight to seed money, have you also considered freelancing yourself for a few hours a week to help keep your project afloat for a little while?

That's exactly how I see this project - a niche social network. It's definitely not the end-all social network. I have been doing some work on the side and can continue to sustain the project at a slow and steady pace, however, I'm just starting to think long-term.

As far as a co-founder goes, there's not many people around my area that have any interest in development and/or being involved with a startup. I'd love to spend some time up north and make some connections, although I'm not quite sure how I should go about getting my foot in the door. Definitely need to look into that though
