India or Pakistan. No technical lead wants to work for $10/hr with an "ideas guy" that has their head in the cloud. Pay the market price, or see what happens.

I would pay a lot to launch what I have. Who has captured this market? I don't really need a technical lead...they would have no understanding of what I made or why it would be useful. I've tested it in the field and I know it works for exactly what I want it to do.

  How much/ What exactly are you willing to pay? And what exactly do you want from the person, do you want them to build their app?

    I think thousands to get me past testing and on the app store would be fair. I really don't know a fair market price for this step. It's a brand new developer account.

  So what do you need then? Your posts are a bit confusing. You asked for solo senior developers but then you say you need help with pricing and trademarks and also say you don't need a technical lead. I would suggest you organize your thoughts and write down the list of what you think you need and then either pay for a consult with a senior developer or chat with a trusted technical person. From your posts, it sounds like you need more than one role and/or the services of an agency. If money is the issue and you think you have a good idea, then I suggest you seek funding.

    I would love a chat with a seasoned senior developer that's what I'm looking for. Someone who has expirence with a sucesssfull launch. I would pay for even a 30 minute chat and demo of my app. I'm confident my product is worth it's salt in my industry, but lack the expirence for a proper deployment. If it issuccessful, a iphone port would come next. I do not have the hardware to properly test like I would want to and would want a professional to be in charge of capturing all the functionality of the android varient.

      I suggest having a look at the monthly freelancer/seeking-freelancer threads here then and contact one or more to start the conversation. 30 mins is barely enough for an introduction but that's one avenue. I would still suggest you only do that after you've narrowed down and specified your needs. And if I may offer some more advice, it sounds like you need a technical co-founder as you're describing multiple roles and skills.
