If you really need technical people you're going to have to pay them unless you've got something amazing built so far. Or you're going to have to bring in cofounders and give them a more even split. That will be hard if you've got all of the time in it. In my situation I have put a lot of time and effort into my project and I will need to bring someone on board soon but it irks me to think I will have to give up more that 20% to someone who hasn't put the time and risk in.
