I found a potential candidate, that may be interested in joining me as co-founder for my new music start-up. I believe this gentleman is about twice my age, and so far seems approachable. I am thinking of sending this candidate an email, but I don't want to screw anything up.
So, I wanted to ask you all here at HN...
How should I introduce myself?
Should I just jump straight to the point (What my start-up is about)??
If you have any other suggestions, please leave your thoughts; they are all welcomed.
Thanks.
This year makes me 18 years old...An ideal cofounder for me would have to be no more than 2-3 years older than me, because most older people may not be very comfortable working side-to-side with someone of my age.
So, I ask...
What would be the ideal age difference between you and your co-founder(s)?
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.
