Using the python language and community, from what I understand, is the best angle to take in pursuing this goal.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The setting: I'm a 23 year old top 20 university Econ/Engineering Mgmt double major working business dev for a software company in Cupertino. I have an amazing idea. An idea that, if executed properly, I believe can not fail. The basic concept is a method to facilitate group real-time web-based discussion, which will in some respects replace comment sections, forums, and other pseudo-live discussion mediums. I won't say any more than that publicly.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The plan: I have a rain check on a teleconference with a hedge fund manager who is a family friend and wants to try his hand at high tech, high risk VC. If I bring him a proper prototype, he will fund. So I need help with the prototype, and I'll take selling it from there. After first round funding, you would take over all engineering aspects. I am offering substantial equity in the future-business for whoever takes the job. If this was Apple, I'm looking for a Woz. You would stay on board for however long you want. Hopefully that would be until we are a) bought or b) you are rich and want to travel the world.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The need: an exceptionally talented programmer who is willing to be passionate and dedicated to making a great idea a reality. Skills necessary would be Python (duh), Ajax, SQL, HTML and CSS. Other stuff would be necessary I'm sure, but these are the cores. Experience or knowledge of web based chat is probably required also. Recent college grads are great, because I want someone who is optimistic and energetic like myself who believes the sky is the limit.</span><br><span></span><br><span>If you are interested, or know of someone else who might be, shoot me an email. NDAs and such can be dealt with when the time comes. I think anyone who speaks with me in person will see that this is something that could be huge, and you will get a sense of my charisma and ability to communicate and sell. Beyond that, however, I will let the concept speak for itself.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I apologize to anyone who thinks I have spammed your inbox. I wouldn't have considered taking this step unless I felt compelled to based on the strength of the idea.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I hope to hear from some of you soon.</span><br><span></span><br><span>-Clay</span></span><div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Baypiggies mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Baypiggies@python.org">Baypiggies@python.org</a><br>To change your subscription options or unsubscribe:<br>http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies</blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
