We consider ourselves as designers only (we made a concept of the site) but with no working functions. It's basically an image of the site. I know many startups are laughing at us right now scratching their heads and going "Really? They are trying to start a company with an image of their site/product?"
I know it sounds funny my brother and I even laughed about it. But it's a good image and we can describe every little detail of the site inside out. It's like if a big soda company like Coca-Cola designed a really good concept of a new drink and having no idea yet how to make the actual drink yet.
But we have to work with what we got...=(
We're wondering if a concept (image) is all we really need to convince investors in funding in our company? Once we get funded we can hire a programmer/hacker to bring our dream to life or maybe use the money ycombinator gives us to find someone who can help make a convincing prototype before pitching it.
In the miracle of ycombinator choosing us to be one of the Summer 2009 startups, would it be hard finding ourselves a hacker in return for the same percent or even more of the company stock as us? I don't want to grab a hacker from a different group who is already spending time on their own project. That's just bad. The hacker we're looking for is someone who was rejected, never applied, or someone who was never accepted and has similar programming skills and knowledge of justin.tv and youtube. You can use open source, I have seen some that would fit our site but it needs major modifications.
We're not competing with justin.tv btw, it's nothing like it so you can relax Mr. Kan.
We're really nice people, laid back, pretty young, love bouncing ideas and we're twin brothers. We also give good back rubs. Nice to meet you!
