In an ideal world, you could partner with a developer who would built it in exchange for equity. There are ways to make that happen...go to meetups, put an ad on craigslist, etc. Just remember that developers get these sorts of offers ALL THE TIME. Make sure you stand out.

Personally, I'd be wary of spending my own money on paying a contractor to build something. It will be expensive and there is no guarantee of a good outcome.

Good luck!

Thanks for the help! Yea this would not be my first startup so I know developers are approached everyday with tons of ideas to get involved in.

I got accepted into Startup School so I'm looking forward to seeing who I can meet up with that could help me out.

As for as spending my own money, you are right, I have done this before and ended up being super expensive and outcome was not that good.

I know there are many of talented coders on here so if there is anyone that is interested in hearing more I'm more than happy to speak with them.
