If your idea is just a CRUD type and not tech intensive (like a search engine or something) i would say just hire someone from odesk to create the prototype...You can create a MVP for just $10k and may spend another $10-20k until you find a product/market fit.
Yes this initial code will be messy and not scalable. But after you zero in on the right working model it will be easy to hire good programmer(s) to rewrite the entire thing from scratch!
