Looking for technical co-founder
My personal background is in business: marketing, strategy, legal dispute analysis, financial analysis. I am a chronically-ill patient myself, so this is a service I've experienced a critical and deeply personal need for, for the last 4 years. I do not have back-end programming knowledge, but I do have experience collaborating with developers in both site planning and development.
Business plan including in-depth target market and competitive analysis, product/revenue/marketing/target audience milestones, cash flow projections by each milestone are available for review.
I have secured angel funding sources when required. This project has piqued the interest of several developers with startup experience, but so far none of the potential long-term candidates can commit full-time.
Only looking for local US developers. Although programming skill set is obviously important, I consider personality compatibility to be more important in a startup environment so just for starters here are some of the basic traits I'm looking for:
- Someone with a balanced lifestyle: wants to work on a startup full-time (8 hrs/day) but understands the need to decompress. I am very ambitious and entrepreneurial by nature but because of my health concerns I do not fit the 20-something, staying up on caffeine all night startup mold.
- Impeccable communication skills are needed, so that we don't waste time passing emails back and forth clearing up misinterpretations.
- Someone that has personal reasons for working on a health 2.0 startup: when you contact me, tell me precisely why (personal experience? lifestyle change? moral compass?)you're willing to dedicate a good chunk of your life to a website for very sick patients. I do not want to work with someone that is looking purely for profit or purely an entrepreneurial "rush", regardless of the startup's future income prospects.
- Someone that also has a strong viewpoint (and thus will participate in strategy-shaping) but is also is consistently open-minded.
- Level-headed, deeply analytic types that don't settle for quick and convenient answers. I am not a contentious person but I will discuss anything to death if it merits discussing.
I look forward to hearing from any developers that fit that description.
