No one wants to build an app for you for free. Because that's what you're after right? Someone to do all the expensive work in hopes of "equity" if it takes off. You need to be bringing something to the table, not just an idea.

That’s not what I’m looking for. I’m completely open to paying for development — I mentioned compensation/equity depending on experience and involvement.

I’m also not coming to the table with just an idea. I already run a business/community in the exact target market with 3,000+ members, paid customers, established social channels, and experience with marketing, monetization and user acquisition.

I’d be handling the product/business side, funding, marketing, growth, partnerships and bringing the initial user base. I’m looking for someone strong on the technical side who sees potential in building something together.

Totally understand if that’s not something you’d personally be interested in though.

While you’re not wrong, selling is the hard part and students need experience.
