#372We are a small team making a big impact. Naval and Nivi (and really, everyone on the team) have been involved with multiple startups and want to create a community where we can set founders and investors up for success. We’re looking for like-minded, full-stack engineers and designers to join our team.
To learn how we work, read up on our blog here: http://venturehacks.com/articles/1-man-startups
A few other words we live by:
• Ask forgiveness, not permission
• You break it, you bought it
• S/he who codes, rules
• Low inventory
• Be real
• Sweat the details and corner cases
• You must code
• Do what you think is right (and be right)

How would you feel about employing a minor?
but even so, on the hardware side of things, you won't see any of that (and I do go through pains to avoid looking at my customer's stuff anyhow.) and certainly, for what I'm paying... meh.
But yeah. I'd need to talk with a lawyer, and I'd probably want to talk with the parents and have them see what I'm doing first (as I assume that's where problems would come from if there were problems.)

(4) Understand customer pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch frequently.
(5) Design and build landing pages, email campaigns, icons, infographics, and application features.
If solving a real pain point for millions of people gets you excited, we'd love to speak with you.
To apply, send a note to jobs [at] zenpayroll [dot] com and include your (1) portfolio, LinkedIn, GitHub, resume, and/or any project/portfolio pages. (2) a note on why you are interested in ZenPayroll, and (3) share with us something you've done which you are most proud of and why.
