I'd happily relocate (ideally to Asia but wherever) for the right opportunity. Looking for a product leadership role at a small or midsized company that does something positive for the world (i.e. no adtech please).

we have had a similar model: startupgiraffe, its been a great way to build a team, play with different technologies/verticals and invest (discount rates for equity) in startups. there are definitely a lot of pros/cons of the approach though.

check out http://rework.jobs - they are basically a recruiter for folks looking to transition to "meaningful" jobs

We structure our projects fixed-time fixed-cost, works well for us.

I think you have to be able to convince someone why you will be successful. Most people want to see traction and idea validation before they join something (especially if there is no cash up front). Is there a way you can demonstrate that without the product?

It sort of depends what you are looking for: a partner or someone to execute?

* If you are looking for a partner describe your big vision, your near term goals and how you you are thinking of implementing them. Ask for suggestions, make sure you both believe the big picture and talk through the details.

* If you just want someone to build your vision give as much detail as possible. Show wireframes/designs of every screen with annotations.

I also like using product backlogs to define the functionality for projects. Make a list of every feature ranked by priority. Ask your tech partner to fill in the difficulty for each item to help you prioritize.

What about creating a paid premium newsletter using Letter.ly Perhaps send the premium daily and the free one weekly. Depending on your conversion rates it should be enough to cover expenses and gives you an opportunity to grow paid subscriptions into potentially meaningful income.
