Connect the dots.
If you don’t have the money, find someone that does.
If you don’t have the skills, find someone that does.
If you do not understand, find someone that does.
BUT first get a good lawyer who can draft you an air tight NDA.
They can steal the idea.
Look what happened to Winklevoss twins and Facebook.
For patent law, consider the correct terminology and an idea can't be patented but a described process can be patented.
And consider just writing a webpage with a copyright notice on it. A future claim of infringement requires at least a belated patent application. Basically, the belated patent application would just be a deposition of a prior date of invention. However, the historical webpage would help prove the date
.
Do you have the servers to let people connect, and use your app?
Or do you just have capital? Well, in that case, it be easy as heck to steal your idea. Look what happened with Facebook. The Winklevosses got the wool pulled over their eyes by Zuckerberg.
One Frat Brother stealing from Another....where is the HONOR "(anymore)" ????
It is just about impossible to patent the idea for a business. So that probably won't work and even if it could be somehow made to work, it is expensive to get a patent and OP has no money.
It might be possible for OP to find some investors who would do all the development and pay all the expenses and leave OP with a few percentage points of the business. The idea would have to be an exceptionally good one and unique because normally this type of investor wants to see the business up and running and to have proven that it works on a small scale and they they take it and expand it.

Sometimes it is possible to start really small and gradually build up by reinvesting the income and using it to grow.
A far better outcome than accepting outside investment.
I'd wager the number one reason people start businesses is to be their own boss. Of course customers are the boss's boss, but you can fire customers. If you're answering to investors, suddenly you have a boss you can't fire.
