I am working on an app currently with one developer from my network, I am usually a bit taken aback by the idea of hiring people from Upwork or Toptal and spend $$$$ to get the app built. I come from a tech background myself, and I do understand almost everything about the coding challenges and feasibility.
So my question is, I have a bunch of ideas, small - medium applications that I intend to build and I see opportunity In; How can I be more comfortable in hiring people I don't know, and how can I get my ideas built at the right cost rather than paying a fortune for it ?
