"We are microfinancing platform, like Kiva.org."<p>Complete the sentence. "We are an X platform like Y, but with/without ..". If you can't differentiate your service from a competitor yourself how do you expect others to? Also, name dropping your competition without naming your business is not a good idea.<p>Regarding your query, you're already in the right place. If you want to <i>hire</i> developers try Craigslist. For contractors try Odesk. Usually for me it's just a matter of reaching to people I already know.
