Thanks! I'm not sure I've conveyed this accurately enough on the landing page: we don't route $20k to a bunch of developers that we find dirt cheap; a single seasoned developer takes the project from start to finish and they get all the money. Now, how much money they make is based on how quickly they can finish the project. This is where the vetting becomes crucial. If someone calls me up and goes "I want to make the next Facebook!", I explain to them this is beyond the scope of a $20k prototype and guide them to other agencies that can help. Worst case scenario, they gain a little knowledge about their project.
The price/time ratio is the key to making this work. I've done a ton of prototypes that are near that sweet spot. Some will take longer than expected, some will fly out in a few days.
The biggest obstacle I see right now is finding the right platform for targeting the demo-graph I'm going for: people who have ideas, money and not a lot of connections to tech.
