Hi HN: So after college I moved to Argentina cause it sounded fun. Subsequently, I opened a burrito shop, the first of its kind. The people loved it so we opened more...and over the next 5 years it grew from a one store business to 14 stores in 5 latin american countries.<p>My partner (biz partner and college buddy who started it w/ me) and I sold majority shares in the business about a year ago.<p>We traveled for a bit, moved back to the US, got married and are adjusting.<p>I am looking for a cool project, people to meet to start something, or a job at a startup.<p>read more about me here. http://about.me/jordanmetzner<p>Help me out HN....

Are you looking for a paid job? or you want to join another startup as a partner? or are you looking to invest?

For paid jobs and joining other start ups twitter is actually pretty handy. Follow some companies, people you like and they are always tweeting/retweeting opportunities. Make sure to also follow incubators they are always retweeting about jobs for their companies.

I have a project that was started last year. We tried for YC but didn't make it. My team got burned out and now it's stopped. Our mission was to make mobile advertising more effective and connect the advertisers with the audiences. The advertisers can target their campaign at specific demographic audience. The ads are full screen and there's a mechanism for the advertisers to "interact" with the audience. Also, we bring mobile advertising to SMB that do not have the skill or resource to get into the mobile space. I'd be happy to go into more detail if you are interested.

Take location-based tasking (Gigwalk etc.), make a professional version, figure out how to move hi-res images and hi-def video most efficiently between users and then smash it into Wikileaks by making users and payments anonymous. This would be a great tool for professional information gatherers.
