I would start mocking up your idea in something like Balsamiq (http://balsamiq.com/). This will make it easier to find a hacker to partner with and to show the concept to potential investors.

Balsamiq is pretty intuitive - if you don't want to buy/install it, try out the online (flash) demo at:

Agreed. Balsamiq is pretty awesome to do quick mockups that look decent. They really can help get the concept across.
