Sorry to be off subject a bit but Ive been wanting to start a mobile app/web app for quite some time. I've drawn it out using microsoft visio because its the best i could get my hands on to have something visual to show. My question is whats a good place to look for programmers in your area who want to start a business? I've looked into companies but its too expensive and would require constant updates which means more money. My last option is going to the local university and asking the professor for students they can think of or posting a flyer in the computer science building. I really want to get this started but I don't know how to code and would much rather split the idea 50/50 with someone who does and is willing to start a company.
You're nailing it by looking for them in your local universities.
Look for any friends who study there and ask them to help you out, by talking directly to other students who are into entrepreneurship or by posting on facebook.
In case this doesn't work look for people online, the best forums for this are:
->www.reddit.com/r/startups
(huge reddit forum 100% dedicated to startups).
->www.bodybuilding.com/misc
(one of the biggest forums in the internet, not related to startups but you will find all kinds of people there).
->www.thefastlaneforum.com
(fastlane forum is smaller than the first two, but it has a lot of people who are in the same path as you).
Being friends with your co-founder is important, so finding someone near you is prefered, but you can always find someone online and meet them in person during development.
