Ask HN: questions from a tech/start-up newb Good afternoon everyone, I'm new to the game (I will not call myself a hacker), but my interest and self teachings have been giving me a lot of insight into the hacking world. With that being said, I sprung this idea 6 months ago and have been working at it since. My efforts towards this project have been very time consuming and I feel like I've hit a few barriers. Being a full time student I have zero capital, and what I need done requires advanced programming (php). I am hoping the following questions can be answered. How do I find a good partner/co founder? Should my programmer/designer be local? Is crowdfunding a good source for raising capital? Any advice will help as I am the only person working on this at the moment. Thanks all. Dave |
