Zuldi - Looking for a Developer

1 points by hartej 14y ago ↗ HN

Zuldi is a startup developing a next generation self-ordering and payment processing platform for Mobile and Mobile Tablets in Restaurants and Nightclubs. Swipe your credit card on the device (PayAnywhere) and get SMS or Email'ed the receipt.

Why we're a good team for you: My co-founder Patrick and I have got the business side of things down. We have gotten excellent feedback pitching the company at DC Entrepreneurship Week. We have been accepted to Startup Chile (startupchile.org) granting us $40k. We have been in talks with restaurants and nightclubs who are on board and prepared to run a Zuldi beta.

We aren't just 2 business bums looking to bring on a developer. Patrick and I (Hartej) have gone through Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way, Python Osmosis, and are teaching ourselves how to code although we aren't anywhere close to being pros.

Looking for a developer with knowledge of iOS, HTML5, Java Script, SQL, how to utilize jquery, knowledge of server side language such as php, c#, java, and good object oriented java script. Currently the prototype is being built solely in iOS.

Also, to be clear: We are NOT looking for someone who has a full-time job / freelance gigs, and wants to spend 10 hours a week on this with me as a cofounder. We are fully committed to this and want someone who is able to fully commit to it as well.

Why is this a great opportunity?: - We are offering equity in the company (terms to be discussed) - A chance to take a project and help mold it into a success - Proven to obtain funding and if necessary will secure more funding. Who know's, 6 months from now we'll be sippin on drinks with Jay-Z at the 40/40 club as he utilizes Zuldi for bottle service (An actual possibility)

Interested in talking more?? Contact me at hartej@zuldi.com and let's get the dialogue started.

You're looking for a do-it-all know-it-all walk-and-chew-gum developer for basically free.

Also you're not looking for a developer, you're looking for a technical cofounder.

I'd keep cracking on those Python courses if I were you two.

Pretty hard in the presence of all this seed/angel money to convince someone that capable to not work on their own idea.

I am looking for a technical co founder. The startup is poised to succeed. And we're not just 2 business chumps looking to find a tech guy to just do it all. After hours guys just aren't cutting it at the moment but the prototype is being coded in iOS by them.

Actually, at this stage, you are better off hiring someone as a contractor. All those skills you talk off is typically spread over a couple of people at the least. Pro-tip: If you are not a tech guy, do not dictate the language/stack.

>If you are not a tech guy, do not dictate the language/stack.

This 100,000,000 times over and over until it sinks in universally. Nothing turns me off more viscerally than someone who isn't a programmer dictating to me how to do my job.

You guys are right. I didn't mean to dictate terms or tell anyone to do there job by any means. We are certainly looking for a tech co founder and are open to giving away equity.

First impressions. Give it another try in a different community, incorporating what we've said to approach it differently.

Sounds good thanks!
