No. It's time to get your hands dirty, and get as much traction has possible on a shoestring. This could be -

* building a landing page, start blogging and building a list of interested people

* creating interface mockups

* building a demo

* networking to seek out a cofounder

* preparing to apply to an accelerator or microseed program

Idea-only concepts from first timers aren't ready for full seed funding, in general. You can push it to the next level without that.

Thanks for the suggestions. The landing page, mockups, and demo are already a work-in-progress, although I'll begin taking the others into consideration and building a more productive plan for the next few months.
