Find a technical co-founder that can program, work on a problem that you have (hint: maybe it could be I can't find a co-founder) #1, #6 & #7 ~ http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html There is a problem with non-technical founders having the right location, some seed money & an idea. The idea will probably change so being obstinate is a mistake #5, #6 ~ http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html The key thing is a technical co-founder(s), pronto & see if their skillset complements yours (btw you didn't mention what area you graduated?). Think Woz & Jobs for example.
You need to find your Woz!, your idea and move from there.
"... and the application designed in adobe illustrator ..."
But this is a sketch right? There are lots of problems thinking this will be your end product. It will change. The most important one being, "is it what people want (& willing to pay for)?". Obstinacy is a mistake #5 ~ http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html
I am very confident in both the idea and the design, but I am not stuck on either. The idea has already completely changed once, and has slightly changed several more times.
I know a lot of people claim to have big ideas and it is tough to believe them because talk is cheap, but this is real! Something is going to happen and if anyone is serious about doing a startup I would love to get together to talk. Even if we dont end up working together [passionate young people discussing Ideas, the future, and making life better] couldnt hurt.
