I need a hacker to get rich

6 points·nurselyman··3 comments

I am not a hacker and probably do not belong in this forum but I am here to seek hacker power. I have a number of great ideas that can improve hospital information systems and actually plan to pursue this as a business in the future. I currently work as a Registered Nurse (hence, the username) and I am currently pursuing a MS in Health Informatics. I am here because I am looking for a co-founder for my startup.

you have an idea, you don't have a startup. everyone has "good" ideas. a good startup/business is made in the execution.

my suggestion would be to either learn to code on your own and start doing it by yourself, or pay someone to do the coding work for you.

i, myself, teamed up with someone i didn't know well to start a "disruptive medical startup". i did all the work, paid for a lot of the necessary tools/data/etc, and after 6 months, everything fell apart.

Try meetup.com, search for hackers and your location, you should be able to find some people you can sit down and talk to.

I also have a good idea, and looking for some good e-commerce programmers in NYC I can meet face-to-face. I don't trust the email connection anymore, didn't work out for me. I've spoken to various people who various business coaches who love my idea, I just need to put the code to paper!

Good luck!
