What positions are you hiring for? I'm not a programmer but I would love to work with you. I've been paying attention to your blog since reading the post about online-offline businesses. It struck a nerve with me and I was thinking to contact you about my idea for a marketplace.
The idea kind of crashed and burned right after that because Balanced changed their merchant agreement regarding "high-risk" and I can't use them. The only way to make it work seems to be to become a processor too and I don't have the money/experience for that if it is even a good idea. I'll send you more info if that is okay.
