I have been developing a business plan for a start-up and am now ready to take the next step in making this a reality. I have already validated the market and determined that there is a need.
It would be a completely online business and unfortunately I had no prior web development knowledge. Since that really bugs me and I feel it's the most valuable skill for me to acquire, I've been taking crash courses in HTML, CSS, and Java, so I at least have an understanding of the basics. However, in order to learn and build this site myself would take much too long, so I know I need a professional developer on my team.
With limited capital, what's better:
Find investors or web developers first?
Finding investors first means hiring more talented web developers but may prolong the process.
Finding developers first may reduce quality since they would be lower-paid but would have something tangible to acquire investors.
