Questions

We're looking at different freelance marketplaces where startup founders turn to in order to hire the resources they need for very early stage dev work, marketing, and other tasks. Specifically stuff that can be done cheaply.

The best ones that I have used are as follows:

O-Desk: https://www.odesk.com/. This is good for more complex tasks that are still relatively cheap to implement.
Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/. These are small jobs that cost $5 bucks per gig. Good to get small stuff done fast.

I hate to say this, but this is how I found a great outsourcing partner in India. I spoke to my friend who recently moved to the U.S. from India and ask them if they wanted to be my "interpreter" to find a good outsourcing partner for additional tasks. They actually knew people doing exactly what I wanted to get done and they were able to connect me to a great small firm in India that has great and ambitious contractors for hire for only $6 per hour.

Sometimes the best way to do it is ask an Indian or Chinese friend :).
