Hello all and Happy New Year to you,
I posted an inquiry a week ago for a Ruby dev and I’m giving the
community another try.
I’ve learned so much just from following the threads. The experience
that I have had being part of these conversations is much like the
vision I have for the developer that will help create the basis for this
venture.
I know that there is no shortage of opportunity for you all and everyone
claims that their idea really is ‘changing the world’. But I’m
convinced after working in mobile payments (Square) and for Apple that
there is a huge benefit to considering the value proposition I’ve been
researching and developing.
The Product:
What I’m looking for in a developer is someone who is invested in the
customer’s story and who is interested in developing a social Q&A
platform with emphasis on local-to-global scalability. Much of the
technology requirements are up for conversation with my chief technical
advisor and myself. I have chose RoR because it is the framework that I
am inspiring to learn. So far, I think I’m in the right place: )
Location:
I float between Los A. and the Bay area, am privileged and honored
by advisors who are leading successful ventures in the Bay area and
designing for Apple.
Niche:
I’m confident in the concept and market opportunity, the community I
hope to support and competitive differentiation being proposed. Someone
with knowledge in eCommerce for web applications will most certainly be
inspired.
Support:
I am currently the single employee of the start up and have the support
of 3 advisors: two who run successful start ups in San Francisco and
another who is a senior UI designer for Apple. Our relationship is
built on trust and an enormous amount of faith. They are interested in
sharing their learning experiences, as much as this community is.
I will continue to drop in on the conversations to learn more, because I
want to be a builder of great product experiences, as much as I am a
business developer.
You all stay great and thanks for reading and responding to my post.
You are truly one of the best Google G. I’ve ever been a part of and
I look forward to learning more from you all.
