I have several ideas to create some open source projects that could be later monetized. I'm looking for a fellow hacker to work on those ideas (or propose new ones, or improve my ideas) for some months, and then try to monetize them. I'm looking for opensource advocates/maintainers and functional-programming types (i.e.: F#). My ideas are about music software, and backup/sync data tools.

Based in Germany. Hit me at andrew.forsure at gmail dot com or through cofounderslab.com: http://www.cofounderslab.com/profile/ingolstadt-founder-siwa...

I'm looking for someone to take over the day-to-day at PaleoPax, and (possibly, eventually) buy the site. All it needs now is more traffic - conversions are good and sales are quite profitable. Hit me up if you're interested in chatting about the details!

Hmm, this dovetails with an idea I had for a Paleo monthly box, if you're interested in chatting... how much work on the day-to-day do you want to offload?

Looking for people in the Portland Oregon area. I have an idea that has been bubbling for a while to change how scientists use and track computation as part of their work. I have various components prototyped, but lack front end and DB experience. I've got about 15 years experience in this area, and have been getting the startup itch lately to make some of the ideas materialize.

Actually, PaleoPax started as a subcom site and I shut that bit down a year ago with ~450 monthly subscribers @ $20/month. Shoot me an email and we can chat more: lxmorj@gmail.com

I'm in the Baltimore / DC area and looking for startups either in the stealth phase or recently out of this phase to join as a founding member. My background is a mix of technology, primarily cyber security and some development in Python, and business. I'd be open to part time as well, though I'd still need to maintain my current FT position, and remote would also be doable.

Looking for technical cofounder(s).

We are the reCaptcha or Duolingo of semantic information. We crowdsource semantic data with educational and fun learning tools designed to identify and capture the semantic information revealed in the game play.

For first and second level concepts (the least abstract) we target children aged 3-6 with games that their parents deem educational and worthwhile in preparing the child for traditional schooling. Our tools will be free but we generate revenue by licensing the semantic data we capture. Distribution will leverage the US federal government's new Universal preK policy.

A proprietary, difficult to recreate, conceptual structure provides some protection from others copying the methodology and developing the semantic dictionary.

Looking for a Business/Marketing cofounder.

I built http://www.memobuild.com, an online editor for technical books and documents. I'm working on a good launch and customer acquisition plan, and could use some help.

The product is already usable and very polished, it's actually a pivot from an e-learning editor I did for several years. With the right marketing execution it could grow to profitability fast. Contact is in my profile.
