Working within the timeframe of the current rate of development in web apps, I'm not the "business person" in my operation because I don't have the time or experience to accomplish what is listed above. I'm the "vision person", I need a developer to make my vision real in the form of an alpha version of the site, then I need a "business person" to come in and connect the dots for the investors to make the thing real.

I need a lot of help for sure but my hand is open, I know I can't do this on my own. I haven't found the people to fill the roles I need through my limited professional network.

I'm working on the connections listed in #1 by networking with local developers and applying to the YC winter session.

#2 is a big jump for me without a working demo which I'm currently contracting and developing. 14K name mailing list? Yikes, I need an expert for that one.

I've attempted #3 already but it's not efficient to design things and then not being able to pay for the coding of all the stuff I design.

I need cofounders who have the time, energy, and value system to take my vision and run with it and make it real.

I know I sound like a kid writing a letter to Santa but I know that someone is willing to pursue a dream. I just have to find them.
