The entrepreneur in me say, no, no, no, there has to be the perfect gem that fits this profile. But the "experienced" entrepreneur in me say this is totally right. FOUNDERS are founders and are with the idea from the start to the end. Founders may be entrepreneurs, hackers, painters, lawyers, etc... But once the company has started, the idea is theirs. Any further development on it from outsiders is only of value to them once there is a semi immediate upside. No One I have meet is willing to invest in someone else's Idea, until they know the money is there. I ALSO recommend that you do not pay other people full time until you are paying your own rent with the business. Paid employees work 9-5 for a paycheck, not to save your business. I was burned on this before. AND consultants work only the hours you pay them, unless you can get them to agree to a project fee, at which point the project may never get done.
