There's a gem buried in one of the responses: "I don't think you'll have much luck unless you can find one or more coders who're as excited about your idea as you are, and who you respect enough to treat as equals."

Why would anyone competent join you on the terms that you've described? (There's a Dilbert about a company that wants to pay industry standard salaries but expects to have above average talent.)

well i mean, we'd be paying the beta developer in equity, so if they are excited and passionate about the idea, then it should be a nice fit.

I didn't get the impression that you saw that person as a founder.
