Ask HN: Where Should I Look For A Programmer To Partner With For My Start Up?
I can only offer part ownership of the company in the form of stock issued to them. It is a legal S-Corp. How much stock depends on the amount of work and input offered. I do not have capital at this point.
I originally launched my site in 2005. It is a Social Magazine about all forms of art and the business of being an artist.
Its content is by and large about and by the community. The goal for every piece of content is to inspire and educate people.
33% of the profits once monetized will be donated to charity every quarter.
Every piece of content is linked together using a system like facebook's pages. We released that feature in 2005. This is one example of how I know my concepts and ideas of how they should be executed are still ahead of the curve.
In 2006 everything came to a halt because I became very ill and almost died. I was out of commission for years and my entire personality was altered for this time due to a tumor.
While dealing with that my original team had to take on new jobs and what capital I had raised was used up.
I am not looking to find a programmer to take advantage of and not compensate them what they deserve. The plan is again, to offer part ownership of this company and split income accordingly once the site is monetized.
I have a very extensive plan for how this entire project will scale.
I just don't know where to look for a potential partner to build it out with me.
I am based in Los Angeles but I am willing to travel between San Diego and San Francisco if there are good meet ups going on where programmers look for start ups to join.
If there are good places to meet programmers online please inform me of those sites.
Please advise me on where to seek a new partner or two. Thank you.
Sincerely, Gary Livingston
