Looking for non-technical cofounder

7 pointsby AlexTheFounderalmost 17 years ago
I'm very ready to take my web site public, it would be really helpful to get someone experienced in community management/public relations on board. This is a good opportunity for a person skilled in webmarketing/copywriting to become second cofounder in a promising startup.<p>We can go with a contract-like engagement initially, $100 per few hours/day, + stock<p>I'm London based, though you don't necessarily have to be. Please respond to alexthefounder at googlemail.com

Wait, you want to have them as a co-founder <i>and</i> you want to pay them a hundred bucks an hour?<p>I can see one or the other, but not both. If the amount of stock is trivial then they're an employee or contractor, not a co-founder. And if the amount of stock is large then you shouldn't be paying them that kind of money as well.

How about a little hint as to what area your startup is in? Some of us here are definitely interested in working in X, but not Y.

Why limit yourself to a non-technical cofounder? Are you a single founder or are there other hacker founders working with you?

I recommend contacting Chris Messina [<a href="http://twitter.com/factoryjoe" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/factoryjoe</a>] and Tara Hunt [<a href="http://twitter.com/missrogue" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/missrogue</a>]. Tara wrote the book on "social capital" (i.e. community building).
