I did all the research in this particular segment of the market and started on my journey to create my first MVP. I realized I didn't know how to program, so I sat down and learned how to use Drupal. Drupal became too restrictive for my needs. I started learning Ruby and Rails. Learning how to program from scratch was not getting anywhere.

This is where I need your advice. I really want to get this product completed. Even if it doesn't make me any money, I think it fills a need and I think it would be great for society in general. I don't have the programming skills at the time to do it myself.

This brings up a few questions: (Please bear with me, I am new to this field)

1) I really believe in this idea and will invest to get a developer/programmer to do this for me. I looked at elance but there are wide ranges in prices. What resources do you guys use to get developers, or does everyone make their product by themselves?

2) I honestly believe in my product and I have the expertise for the medical part of it, however I would love to work with someone who has the other skills necessary for a start up. How do you guys find a cofounder?

3) I am willing to leave my high salaried physician job for this endeavor but how do you guys get mentors/investors/cofounders. I looked into RockHealth, etc, but they all seem to cater to 20 something out of college students with multiple founders.

Thanks in advance. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
