I wonder if my age (32), the fact that I am the sole creator(my friends are not geeks) and that is now in private alpha beta status(since 9/5/07 - much still needs to be done) will hurt my chances?

I am SO open to working with a coder/co-founder(I'm a web & graphic designer), as a main reason for establishing this startup was to get to work with like minded individuals; individuals in which I learn from.
