Tell us about your business or at least your skills, something. This sort of post comes by about every day, in some way or another...
Wow what good advice.
if you want others to be able to contact you, you have to put that information in your 'about' field.
The problem is that if you show up in these hacker habitats as a business person with no programming knowledge, you are just going to derail the conversations instead of participating. You will also connect better with hackers if you speak their lingo.
Which would work better:
"I'm a business person with an idea that I want you to build"
or
"I'm learning to program because I'm a business person with an idea that I'm learning to prototype and I'm looking for someone to build it with me."
I'm a business person myself learning to program and I pretty much dismiss all other almost all other business people that come to me with ideas. Part of being a good business person is about being able to sell your idea and speak in the language of the customer. Until you found a technical co-founder, your only customer is a developer. You need to sell them your idea before you sell it to anyone else. If you want to sell you idea to a developer, then learn to program.
