I know I'm relatively new here but this is a fascinating idea, or exploration of an idea. Two questions ...
Have you thought about Kickstarter rather than the traditional investment route, esp. if YC doesn't work out? It seems like the model you have is very close to theirs and wouldn't prevent outside investment in the future. You'd probably break your first goal with the money offered by users here, while also eliciting outside investment too.
There seem to be a lot of people on this forum with skills that might prove useful. If you were to offer equity, would you do it in return for work done? I'd be much happier offering my skill-set over my money. But then I like making stuff.
