With a mere £15k and a plan to start raising capital at an indeterminate point down the line you are really looking for a co-founder or at best a contractor (if your product goals are extremely well-defined and modest). At this stage it would probably not be a good to restrict your candidate pool by credentialing as that has nothing to do with the ability to execute the technical side of a startup.<div>
