Hey Jack,

E-mail should be there now, sorry about that.

Everything I've learned from those with experience is that outsourcing is a poor, short-term fix. I need the expertise & insight of a real engineering lead, and one way or another when we get past the prototype phase, I'll just have someone else's code and still no lead engineering presence.

Just this comment here alone would deter me from wanting to work with you or something like this. Getting a prototype up isn't the same as finding someone long term to build a company together. It helps to see if there is traction and better to understand what you're doing. No one ever said that you can't find a cofounder AFTER you get the prototype done. This is not an either or type of argument.
