"The project I'm working on has evolved over the years into something I can no longer feasibly accomplish alone" ... "I'm not seeking co-founders" i dont know

  That's true, and while there is a huge benefit to having co-founders there's also drawbacks (e.g. time spent on recruitment and vetting, potential drama down the road, less equity for employees, a fractured vision). In my situation, that time and energy is likely better spent pushing forward. Regardless, I should have qualified that statement by saying that a sizable team is required at a minimum to ship anything resembling a final product. It's far beyond what a few co-founders could accomplish together.

    I have some ideas that probably fit that description. But does the "lean startup" concept still not fit? In other words, is the MVP feasible alone, developed to a point where it can be announced and tested by real users, and possibly gain popularity and possibly income, and ultimately facilitate the necessary growth?

      No. My only shot at completing a user-facing MVP with no funding would be to either think up an entirely new facet that requires far less work and is congruent with existing plans, or somehow trim down an existing facet. Otherwise I'm just stuck pitching concepts.
