I find none of the answers here will work for me. I'm looking to make a small product, which I believe is a great idea. I need to hire designers and developers every now and then.

Borrowing money from people is not an option, and neither is will banks help me in any way — I'm a student,and 17 years old.

I have little or no savings. So yea...

Sometimes, you need to strike lucky (like me... that a guy with the money and the same idea as me found me and offered me to code)

Or do like I tried to do in the past: work in a normal job, and in your idea on the side. (this resulted into this: http://www.abril.com.br/blog/campus-party/2011/01/19/fanatic... )
