I just hired a "dev shop" to build a prototype for my brother and I, despite being able to do it myself. I elected to this because: * It's pretty straightforward, I'm probably overqualified to build it. * I'm better off keeping a full time job and paying for someone else's time. Both monetarily and for networking reasons. * Since I do know enough to build it, I can take it and run with it if/when it becomes a good idea. Depending on your perspective, you may not consider this a "startup". Until we have a prototype, I don't see how it could be. The potential for it is huge though. :)
