Ask HN: Who is looking for a Co-founder (December 2010)?

7 pointsbobds8 comments

The December hiring threads have been started but not all of us are looking for a job. Fortunately, we can connect with many interesting people here on HN that also want to start their own business.

You might have a great idea for 2011, you might have launched solo during the November app sprint or maybe you just feel like quitting your current job and taking a chance.

Post your location, describe what qualities or skills you are looking for in a partner and pitch your idea.

I am looking for people interested in working on one, or a combination, of the following:

- Making a commercial RepRap machine and selling it.

- Running a coworking office for startups/freelancers/hackers.

- Running a hackerspace with lots of cool tools (such as 3D printers) open to both paid members and the public.

- Running a small fab-lab for on-demand rapid prototyping and fabrication services.

I am located in Europe. You should also be located in Europe, or able to work here. I am open to suggestions, so if you want to do something outside the EU, feel free to contact me anyway.

You can reach me at: http://disattention.com/contact/

Please indicate which of the four ideas you like most, your location, any relevant experience, etc. I've also posted this on a previous HN thread and received a couple responses, so I'll try to put together a group chat next week to discuss all our ideas.

Sound interesting. Where in Europe are you located?

I am willing to relocate almost anywhere in the EU (elsewhere could also be possible). Right now I'm enjoying a very warm winter in south east Europe. Also willing to travel for face-to-face meetings, I just need to grab my backpack.

I'd be looking for a Javascript/iOS/Android (at least one of those) ninja to help me finish a cool location + map based app. I've got a very dirty but working prototype. It's something that doesn't exist right now and that I believe people would be willing to pay for. I estimate ~150 hours left to a shippable MVC. I'm located in Montreal but I don't really mind where you're located at this point.

I'm looking for someone non-technical to work with since I'm more on the tech side. I have some ideas about real-estate based software, time management software, event planning software but haven't really dug into it as yet. I do have a rough outline so someone to bounce back ideas with would be great. I'm located in Toronto.

definitely would be into discussing potential ideas... rwjackson5@gmail.com

What are your technical skills? How do we get in touch with you?

Gawker,

I'm on the biz side with a fair understanding of tech. Give me a shout if you want to chat about some ideas, I have three or four with clear monetization and addressable market....
