Thx. Very difficult to hire someone locally. I am in NYC area and with my profits before taxes being 5K (give or take), I doubt I can find someone even part time here in the US. I could go offshore but I dont' want to because of timezone and communication gap issues. I know this because my current freelancer even though good, is offshore and I am not able to drive things forward with him as smoothly as I want to. Btw, I noticed on your profile that You do C# .NET MVC. I am revamping the app in exactly that :)

$3k plus commission surely isn't out of the question for a part time salary, even in NYC? Not everyone is stuck with your costs of living. A salesperson with connections in the relevant industry might even consider doing it for commission plus vesting equity only with those numbers. If you feel that it's a business that needs a big development investment or push by a sales team to fully realise its potential or stave off competition then by all means go for a significant level of funding, but it would be a shame to give up control of your business for just enough angel money to look after your living costs after you've done the hard bit of getting nearly there

I understand. I guess it depends on the level you are hiring at. If you need someone who has specific knowledge then they are probably too expensive, but if you can train someone, then you can probably hire someone with very limited experience and willing to grow with a company. Good luck on your venture. Exciting times ahead for you and it's inspirational for the rest of us. Feel free to shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss the C#/MVC aspect.
