Update: Looking for Technical Cofounder in San Francisco
My name is John. I go to college in Atlanta, Georgia. I am not good at but love: music, philosophy, computers, and art.
Why I’m here:
I want to stay in San Francisco, form a start up, and turn my idea into a reality. The problem is that my spring break ends when this week is over. So if I find a cofounder, I will most likely drop out of college to focus on the startup. NOTE: I realize I am extremely fortunate for the opportunity to go to college. I’ve learned many things there but now I would like to concentrate more on doing things with the information I now have.
Who I need:
1: Most importantly, I need a cofounder who will provide me with shelter while we work together. I know this is a strange and burdensome thing to ask for. But I will be respectful of your house rules and I will sign a contract binding me to repay you for my share of living expenses. If you will seriously consider this, I’ll give you a lot more information.
Why? When I tell my parents I want to drop out of college, they will undoubtedly flip a shit. They already think I’m crazy for flying alone to SF. Naturally, they expect me to return to Atlanta at the end of this week to continue my college education. Once I tell them, they will probably stop giving me any money unless it’s to buy a plane ticket back home.
2:
I need at least one technical cofounder, preferably but not necessarily one who knows something about graphics and/or games and/or music. I’m not asking you to quit your job but you should have at least some spare time to code. I am more of an idea guy than a technical guy (shame on me, I know). But I understand what it would be like if I gave you an idea and told you to do the rest. I promise I will work as hard from the top down as you do from the bottom up. I’ll also read up on any language as fast as I can if that’s what is needed.
If you are the person who meets these requirements, then tell me now so we can get started. Or if you think you could help me find this person I would greatly appreciate it. What’s in it for you:
You will be cofounder of an awesome start up. My idea is to make amazing music visualization software. This is obviously a very vague description. If you satisfy the things above, I’ll tell you much more. If I didn’t believe in my idea’s potential, I wouldn’t fly to San Francisco, consider dropping out of college, and seriously piss off my parents. Like I said I will pay you back for living costs once we become rich but also if we fail (which we won’t). Think of it as an extended sleepover that will change the world.
*I need something to happen soon or else I have little choice other than to fly back to Atlanta at the end of the week. I’ll be back to translating the Aeneid and reading James Joyce (not that I don’t like Virgil or Joyce). So if you can help me in any here’s my contact information: Email: joooohn4@gmail.com Skype: john.win8
What I do not need: People telling me not to drop out of college. I will receive enough lecturing about this from my parents.
People telling me to learn to code myself. This will take many hours which I will not have if I return to college. I will however learn the code I need to if I find a co founder.
People telling me I am an idiot. I've heard it many times.
