Ideas are dime a dozen, if you are an engineer, you don't need to hire anybody. Go out there and build a prototype. Find users that will use your prototype. If it has a positive growth, you can easily find funding for it. If you are already thinking about hiring another engineer, then I suggest you read more books on startups.

I know that ideas are worthless. I have some thoughts how to start small. The good thing about the concept is that the business can really grow. The very best part is that it can very easily grow by the word of mouth. I think I'm going to build a small business plan and start working on the project itself.

As for the books. I read a lot of them. But, I came with the concept while I was reading "Zero to One" in a subway train. At one moment I got like a recovery of sight. BOOM! I closed the book without intending to open it again.

While business plans may help you revise your idea, I would recommend against working on it. Just build your product and get it out there and iterate from there. You can accomplish so much with so little. But you have to start first. And nobody did anything great without starting it. :-)
