Programmers perform the same type of risk assessment that you would do managing a portfolio. A coder is exchanging their time in exchange for your money or equity. Without a doubt, there is a challenge in finding someone with the right combination of experience, availability and interest in your project. If you are trying to attract coders, try to appeal to them my minimizing their risk. An experienced coder but first time entrepreneur will be more likely to join you if you can demonstrate a history of successes, experience executing / bringing products to market, or validation that there is a market for your product.
Great idea, thanks a ton. Thinking on it, it may be that my pitch to them is too complicated or convoluted. Its not their realm to know stocks (typically) so creating the pitch to peak their interest is a good starting point. Thanks again!
