I'm a non-technical founder too. One thing you have to realize and realize quick is that your idea means next to nothing.
Few people who are good programmers are going to be interested enough to help you unless they know what it is you are doing.
If your idea is that good then you can bet there are people already working on it. Sure, leave out the special sauce, but we need details and you are really cutting down your chances when you require one-on-one specifics. If you manage to get X views on HN you'll get X/2=Y who are interested and Y/3 who are willing to email you!
That being said, I wish you the best of luck
- puresubstance 15y agoThanks for your advice. If there's a hacker who is truly interested in the possibility of great work, I believe he'll reach out. Best of luck to you, as well. Victor
- puresubstance 15y agoAlso, we're more than an idea. We have a business plan, mockups, and interested businesses and investors. I would never risk the future of the business because someone didn't want to take the step of introducing themselves personally in order to learn more. Of course, I understand what you're saying, but I'm sure you can appreciate where I am coming from as well.
