Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (November 2021)

SEEKING WORK | U.S. Central Time | REMOTE only

Hi there, I'm seeking remote-only clients for a new firm which includes a school where we pair with new appers (developers) and get them on their feet.

Since this is a technology based community I'll mention that we use Old and Boring tech, paired with modern approaches learned from working with mostly bootstrapped and a few Silicon Valley based tech companies in Series A-B, pre-acquisiton and public stages. Our focus with clients is delivering value each day, meaning our work would best serve internal projects for B2B companies or systems that can be handed off to internal teams to be made customer-facing.

We are early stage and prefer to work with companies that are profitable or Series B+ and develop long term relationships, and encourage hiring our appers as we aim to get them from 0 to well employed within 6 months.

Send us an email at hi@cityapper.com with a proposed pilot project. Ideally it would be an important and not urgent project as we establish our relationship, and evolve into bigger and urgent projects as trust is built through results. All the better if we can live stream some of our work for future students and clients to get an idea of how we move.

Pardon the essay; I hope this community can appreciate it. The first project will include myself and one student paid equally.

Send any proposals to hi@cityapper.com. Thanks.

SEEKING WORK | Miami | Remote

You're a founder. You're an officer. You're visiting this webpage out of curiosity or because you need something done, full stop. You're perennially short-staffed because there just aren't enough competent people to go around. Your organization is thriving and you're not shy about writing checks to make your problems go away. Currently, your biggest problems are "business" in nature. (Which "technologies"? Who cares?)

Say you reach out to me. What does the course of our relationship look like?

First, you plug your email into my contact form. There are other fields, but they're basically optional. The contact form is so my inbox doesn't get spammed to hell and back.

Then, within a day or two, I send you an email. We exchange two or three emails and then talk on the phone. By the way, I send emails, I make calls, and nothing else. No videoconferencing, no social media, no weird apps.

Two or three calls later, I either have a good idea of what you're looking for or I don't. If I think it'll be beneficial for both parties, we do it. If I don't think it'll work out, I'll refer you to someone who's able to help.

We do it. It takes three to six months. After three to six months, it's done. It's solid and robust and won't require much ongoing maintenance. I drove it mercilessly from start to finish and you sent me a bunch of weekly checks. Everybody's happy. Everybody wins. The checks made your eyes water but in the end "it" makes more money than it cost and you recommend me and my services to all your friends.

The End
