Two pieces of advice from a very drunk technologist.

One, never approach a community that lives and breathes startups using words such as "fairly certain," and "try." They have no power here.

Two, start the company, make a respectable business plan, and then whore yourself out. No one is going to be interested in a joint venture with a few paragraphs of information to go on.

You don't have to be perfect, nor do you even need a full roadmap of ideas or plans, but people need to see that you're willing to put effort into it. No one makes a successful startup, especially in the medical field without considerable research and effort. If people don't see that you're willing to put in the time, they'll never get behind you.
