Look for a technical co-founder. A good developer would get to a minimum viable product quickly - probably in a fraction of the time you are estimating for the overall project. Find someone who will buy into your product and work for equity.

Don't let your existing programming skills restrict who you hire or the technical spec for the new product - you should concentrate on the marketing and sales end so that you have eager customers waiting for that MVP

Thanks bdfh42, I hesitated to list the language and platform I used, you are right & I am open to whatever language is deemed best. I'd love to find a co-founder, but I am in Southwest Florida, not the hottest of hot spots for whip-smart techies. Any advice on where/how I find someone like that?
