To the best of my knowledge US law allows you to work on your own resources and in your own hours and let you personally own your IP. In some countries outside the US (the UK for example) employers can specify in an employment contract that ANY IP you develop while you’re employed by that company is owned by them.

Experienced, talented software engineers have lots of options in life, and most of them involve getting paid. Thus, the opportunity cost of joining your half-baked venture is dramatically lower than it is for legit professionals. Make sure you own all the IP created during this trial period, and make no promises for later.

Shame on you for spinning your desire for junior developers as being solely related to cost. there are start ups who are legitimately using.net because they don’t need to look directly into the tcp/ip stack. It is clear that good software engineers avoid you. Really skillful software engineers do not use.NET.
