Anyway...
It seems like outsourcing or at least have things created are really far more important than looking for a technical co-founder at this stage.
I think if given the real chance, I could convince someone to come on board. However, I haven't had the chance to pitch anything because it's hard enough to find someone even willing to take on a pitch. Everyone is doing their own thing or is too busy, unfortunately.
Currently, I have a landing page. I will probably post it here for some advice. I've put up Google Ads and Facebook Ads and hopefully can push it myself as well. That could help me find a technical co-founder, but who knows. I really think my idea is good enough to jump on now. The timing is just right IMO... and the sooner, the better.
I am learning Javascript now, because I'm thinking I could perhaps code the front-end. However, it's just a long process to learn code, especially while I have a full-time job. I'm tempted to quit to learn to code and develop it myself, but I'm not sure.
Ultimately though, I wanted to see what thoughts were behind paying for an MVP... and you guys have been positive about the idea, so it's good to know I'm not crazy if I go that route.
Lastly... is the mockup really the hardest part? I'm glad to hear that because I did spend a ton of time on it (and need to spend a bit more time refining it down to MVP).
Ultimately, I'm not creating a new technology here. Just packing a bunch of common technologies into one business. Hopefully that fact alone means outsourcing an MVP won't be an incredibly struggle. Or if I decide to create it myself, it won't be too overwhelmingly difficult.
We will see. I appreciate all the feedback and welcome any other comments.
