#13www.samepace.com matches runners and cyclists with training partners based on a shared workout pace, i.e. 2 people who both run 9:00 min./mile and live close by. Beta site and seed funding are in place, need a brilliant hacker to develop v1.0 of the service.
I'm in SLC, UT, but willing to consider cofounder in other locations. Email billallred at Google mail etc.

#14Well, I'll throw myself out there, but as a willing co-founder to involve myself in someone's startup.
I've got a mix of biz, tech, and design skills. My core skills are in design work, such as logos, branding, identity, and web. I'll show a portfolio and mention a project I'm working on right now that involves one of the founders of YouTube, just e-mail me at jmtame at g m a i l . com.
I'm seeking ventures that already have angel funding or a prototype developed. I can make an ugly prototype look like a masterpiece, I favor simplicity in both software features and design, I have several VC connections in IL and CA (although seeking to relocate to CA), and I'm pretty technical (know several web languages).

Cool, looks like I'm not the only Belgian who's lurking around here. I see you're using Python for your startup. As of now, I won't be able to help you :) still in learning process.

Belgians are everywhere, damn belgians ! ;)
My project is a french speaking online community with blogs and events, located in Louvain-la-Neuve.
My brain is exploding and i'm considering asking for some help. If someone with some free time and python/django skills would like to join in, we can have a few Kasteel Bier and see how things go.
Where are you located and do you have some stuff to show ?

I live in Brussels, so as you might expect, I know French and Dutch. I'm currently developing a startup, though I can't really disclose much about it. I wouldn't want someone to launch a website with the exact same idea before mine is launched. It's basically a news website similar to Newsvine, Topix, etc. but different :)

I am looking for a co-founder Qualities:
-ability to get things done.
-integrity. honest and fair, but also being able to recognize the truth/reality (critical for business success, I believe).
-determination to dig out of a hole; perseverance but not stubbornness.
-humility; accepting the possibility you could be wrong even when you think you are right. willing to learn from others and situations
-admit responsibility when you screw up.
Skills:
Either business skills or the stuff I am deficient in: flash (seems like cool demos cant exist without them), javascript (to manipulate different media players), and able to design nice web pages.
If you are a developer, I expect you to be very competent.
I have an application that IMHO is different. It is close to beta, and I wrote it in Swing, Java. However, people say it is not user friendly. I have also lost a lot of time (in part, because I am cautious and also had bad advice. I should have released it long ago).
I am willing to give you a one hour online demo/presentation. However I would need some kind of assurance from you that the ideas will not be copied nor given or divulged to potential competitors.
Please email me and tell me more about yourself and if you think there might be a good match.
thanks,
Anil Philip

I am in Kansas City. Yes, ideally cofounders should live close by. But cant we work remotely?
