About me_jobs_r_u_woz

Am making the killer app of ecommerce. Have put 6 years into refining the concept, and have a total experience of 10 years in the industry segment.

Seeking two world class hackers to be my confidantes and co-founders. I have defined the path to success; I need you to translate it into logical components and hack away at it. First release can occur within 4 weeks of your sign-in. We follow the principles of agile dvelopment and the "release early, modify rapidly" mantra.

We will aim for a rapid exit, say 12 months from the date of first release, You will be challenged every step of the way, and this is not for the faint of heart. I will guarantee a minimum $250K exit to each of you, with unlimited upside via your negotiable equity stake.

I have a working model with paying customers. I need you to transform it into a scalable product so that it can meet the overwhelming demand.

    It's not a question of forcing. It's the norm. All other things being equal, why should someone take a lower salary? And there are other factors. If your compensation becomes a ben…

    I beg to differ. In the Bay Area, VCs expect and want the founder/CEO to make approximately $150K to $175K per year after the VC round (i.e. Seies A). I have confirmed this by aski…

    You are right of course; I am somewhat hesitant to provide more details about it here. Judging from the handful of emails I have received, this is a good way to get the word out, a…

    The user-facing part of the system is currently a VB client app. It's horrendous, but guess what - users love it because it meshes with the rest of their work environment, which is…

    Mukund and Leonidas, I have a reasonable understanding of programming; I designed and helped build a significant part of the code. I did not mean to appear as if I have no knowledg…

    That's why I am looking for great hackers, as opposed to good hackers. Great hackers know that the value of the group is greater than the sum of its parts ;-)

    Thanks for the suggestion; I am trying to avoid this path, as my best case outcome is that I will be an ok programmer - and that's not good enough to succeed. To win today, you hav…

    Great hackers know that they can build anything; what they don't know is what they should be building. My problem is the opposite. I know what to build because I have customers who…
