Have you looked into something like the 37signals job board?

Justin,

The previous comment from @gmagana is correct - you need to determine if you want a partner, employee, solo freelancer, or dev team to help you. Once you do that, you can post on a job board or do some searches in your area for developers (i.e. Ruby on Rails Austin) or start finding networking events to locate a development partner.

I recently wrote an article on how to select a development team for your startup. This will help you filter through any candidates you identify to see if they are a good fit.

All the best in your new venture!

To expand on what @gmagana said, you should hire an employee if you have money AND time. If you don't have the time, the sort of managing and spec writing you need to do for an employee to build something like that won't work (just try outsourcing it to elance and you'll find out what I mean).

I suggest you start your search at StackOverflow careers. You can post your opening (and get your money back if it doesn't work out) or you can search the resume database.

If you don't have the time, then go with finding a partner. If you're only at the idea stage, you'll likely have to offer lots of equity.

Justin,

I'm the Chief Scientist at NetQuarry (www.netquarry.com). NetQuarry sells a platform for developing SaaS applications. We also partner with clients to develop, or help them develop, SaaS applications using our platform. You can go to our website for more information on the company and contact information.

You can try out an example of an SaaS application that NetQuarry has developed by signing up for a free trial at www.fedbidspeed.com (the free trial has no commitment of any kind and doesn't even ask for a credit card, just an email address).

Because of the capabilities of our platform we're typically able to deliver ISV-quality applications quickly and economically.

You can often find very affordable developers on sites like Rentacoder and oDesk. They have large pools of developers from all around the world and provide safety mechanisms such as project escrow that ensures both parties can conduct secure online transactions. Rentacoder does mostly fixed price projects so you can manage your budget easier while oDesk is more of a place to find longer term relationships on an hourly pay basis.

Justin, Request you to visit my profile and get in touch with me. Email: Pavanm at Innominds.com

Justin -

There are a lot of outsourced software development firms that could probably work depending on your idea, however there is definitely a trade-off between cost and service so keep that in mind if you decide to go that route (in one of my startups we used outsourced Indian developers and had to completely throw away their work after 3 months).

One firm that we worked with and had good results with is Scio Consulting. They were a good fit because they focus on SaaS and web apps and are nearshore.

In addition, you should consider building your product using a platform as a service (PaaS) in whichever language your developer(s) are most comfortable with (e.g. Origo Networks for .NET development)
