How much do good people really cost? I meant 10k as in someone to build the basic functionality and leaving maintenance to someone else, but again, I don't know

How much do good people really cost? I meant 10k as in someone to build the basic functionality and leaving maintenance to someone else, but again, I don't know. It's probably still more than 10k anyway. So you're making total sense and I'm starting to get it but my real point is that the majority of startups don't get traction. Why pump in money and hope for the best? Why not make someone prove themselves before pumping that much money into an idea? That's the part I think is nuts especially know how likely these sites are to fail. Also, I didn't quite understand what you meant with that very last sentence/question. Please explain?
