I speak from experience (although if you want to say I am the apprentice of a billionaire, that fine with me), When I say you won’t find anyone, I mean you won't find anyone competent who is there for the right reasons. You'll get newbies galore and perhaps a few experienced people who are there for their own reasons. If you want a chance at getting free work from well meaning experienced people, you will need a fully written out business plan that logically shows how you are going to make money from that. And even then they are going to want contracts to guarantee their share of the pie should it make profits, keep in mind you could just take all of their work and pocket the money without a written contract.

If it’s just a hobby project like you directly stated it was, no one really cares tbh. Everyone has their own ideas for a hobby project, why would they be more interested in joining yours than you are in joining theirs?

Sorry if I come across as rude, but that is the reality of the situation.
