I am currently working to launch a new music startup. Now, I know what you are thinking when you hear "music startup", but this is different.
For the past 5 months, I’ve been piecing together ideas and solutions that will finally put an end to "the disease of which the RIAA is a symptom". The current record labels' business model is not working for the 21st century and thus needs a 21st century makeover; But…
I have no programming skills or background, and I need to find a co-founder that understands what I’m really going for and will bring something to the table that I am obviously lacking (Programming skills). I currently live in Frederick, Maryland where; to say the least, there is a shortage of computer-minded people.
So, I came to seek your opinion, HN…
Where can I find a cofounder/programmer that understands ‘music’? (A hacker that understands the current problems that are facing the music industry today. ex: Piracy, declining music sales, etc. Someone that also has an interest in solving these problems.)
Should I just find my way to Silicon Valley by any means possible?
Any suggestions on how I should present my idea to a hacker (co-founder)?
Your advice and, or suggestions are all welcomed.
