- ideas101 19y agothanks - i'm looking for platform to find these hackers ... dont want to spend on recruiters .... give me ideas the way i can at least contact few hackers - such as posting on bulletin boards at all major IT schools? etc.?

A student with debt is not going to want to work without salary, unless your startup has amazing potential or you have an excellent reputation. In either case, you'd probably have funding to pay them anyways.
