Berkeley Grad Seeking Stanford Cofounder
It was advice I should have taken. I outsourced our company's beta development to India, and I quickly learned the hard way that contractors are very different than partners. I didn't know how hellish outsourcing could get.
I need someone to work with me to pull the all nighters, write code (which I can't do), and be there for some moral support.
It's not that I didn't want a cofounder; it was just that this mysterious person was hard to find. I'm sure part of the reason it was tough to find a cofounder is that our product isn't very glamorous (we use emerging web technology to help schools and families prepare for and stay connected during disasters), but it was also hard because I went to Berkeley.
Anyway, I want to jump ship. Is there a hacker from Stanford who wants to be my cofounder? I'll even wear red at the big game.
Yes, this post was obviously somewhat sarcastic, but I really do need help. I have a cofounder already, but he brought money to the table, not coding skills, and a hacker is what we need. My company, LReady , is about a year old, revenue generating (through non-web operations) and is completing its beta software.
If you are a Flash/Flex/ActionScript god (or just a fast learner), we want you to build the messaging backend to do this: www.lready.com/schools using tools like this: developer.ribbitphone.com. We have some money, so we can give you a small salary, and if things work out, you can stick around as part of the founding team. We are located just north of San Francisco, but will be moving closer to the valley shortly.
Email me at chris@lready.com if this is interesting. I actually don't care so much where you went to school Xeven Berkeley, my alma mater, is fine.
