 exams, let me know.

You are right. I will just have to get it done. At this point, I'll go with
outsourcing, which doesn't necessarily mean offshore, but it could. I want
quality work. I will have to do my research about it but will look into sites
like rent-a-coder, odesk, elance, etc. I'll approach it as you said, I
appreciate the help.

I still will try to learn to code on a basic level to converse and not be
entirely blind to what's going on, but I'm not sure if it's a good choice to
try and program when it would take a significant time commitment. I'm not
against a time commitment, but by saving that time, it frees me to focus on
other areas of the business.

ANYWAY! I will stop with the typing.

It seems my choice is to stay with my job (although I might leave to find one
that is less all-consuming of my time) and outsource the initial development.
Obviously it would have been ideal if I already knew how to code or had a good
friend who could code and wanted to join me. Unfortunately, neither is the
case... and I'm not sure creating the MVP myself is the best proposition.

If someone thinks otherwise, let me know though. Perhaps I'm missing something
here.

Lastly, any advice on outsourcing development would be appreciated. Thanks.

Like another poster alluded to, save up some money (keep your job). Interview
5+ developers with entrepreneurial tendencies, pick one, thank the others,
hire the one you picked, tier their compensation on milestones.

You already founded this, so looking for a co-founder is fairly moot. Hire
someone, give them a chance to shine, bring them in as a partner. If trying to
force the "tech co-founder" isn't working, try something else. As for
outsourcing...I think it is

 You are right. I will barely take to get it done. At this point, I'll become with 
 outsourcing, which doesn't necessarily mean offshore, but it could. I desire 
 quality work. I will have to make my research about it but will look into web site 
 like rent - a - coder, odesk, elance, etc. I'll border on it as you said, I 
 appreciate the help. 

 I still will try to memorize to code on a basic level to converse and not be 
 entirely blind to what's going on, but I'm not certain if it's a good choice to 
 try and program when it would take a meaning time committedness. I'm not 
 against a time commitment, but by saving that time, it rid me to focus on 
 other areas of the business. 

 ANYWAY! I will hold on with the typing. 

 It seems my choice is to stay with my job (although I might leave to find one 
 that is less all - consuming of my time) and outsource the initial development. 
 Obviously it would have been ideal if I already know how to code or had a good 
 supporter who could code and wanted to join me. Unfortunately, neither is the 
 case... and I'm not sure create the MVP myself is the good proposition. 

 If someone thinks differently, let me know though. Perhaps I'm missing something 
 here.
