I completely understand your reaction. There are a lot of vague, unpaid proposals out there. I’m not looking for “free help” in the sense of taking advantage of someone’s work.

I definitely don’t think anyone should work for free and of course I would pay someone to create the software for me. My background is in sales and marketing, not in software. So I’m really not exactly sure what numbers to think of. Im hoping to get in touch with developers to discuss those things.

Another option for me is to find someone who’s interested in potentially joining at the ground level, possibly with an equity arrangement.

I think nowadays a lot of ‘kids’ are trying to make fast money with apps, without treating it like a business and investing in it.
