Anybody in Atlanta? I am working with lasers [1], starting a science show with some PhDs (heavy biochem, biophysics) aimed at the HN&#x2F;hacker&#x2F;programmer demographic, and considering *coin&#x2F;blockchain services. (Pizza ordering service? Utilizing extra transaction info for meta exchange&#x2F;escrow&#x2F;conversions?)<p>I can only work nights&#x2F;weekends ATM unless we get residual income or investment. I do Unices, JS, Python, C++(11). Renting a nice decently large place in Midtown and might be able to allocate space for a cofounder if work ramped up.<p>bt at brand dot io<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x034jVB1avs#t=0m15s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=x034jVB1avs#t=0m15s</a>

I&#x27;ve been building <a href="http://DoerHub.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;DoerHub.com</a> for about a year and I am realizing it may be too much work for one hacker (the site is growing and I am splitting time between UX, backend, bug fixes, user acquisition features, sales, fundraising prep, and natural language processing&#x2F;people search in Neo4J and Node). Looking for someone who enjoys backend performance tuning, machine learning, payments, and&#x2F;or (soon) mobile. DoerHub has a dual stack (Rails on MongoDB and now adding a second stack for relational searches in Neo4j and Node). Located in the East Bay and traveling to the peninsula often.<p>The site is an execution hub - feels like a humanized version of GitHub that involves no code repository, but enables crowdsourcing and collaboration (from teaming up, to advising, promoting, task contributions, etc) on projects between hackers, non-hackers, subject matter experts, etc. We are seeing YC startup school folks and students in different departments at top universities are using it to team up around niche projects, startup ideas, and research. Ping me at founder[at]doerhub.com if you are interested.<p>Dog-fooding: <a href="http://www.doerhub.com/for/doerhub" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.doerhub.com&#x2F;for&#x2F;doerhub</a>

Looking for a business co-founder and&#x2F;or early investors who can help me take gitsense to another level.<p><a href="http://gitsense.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitsense.com</a><p>The product is ready, but the marketing isn&#x27;t. GitSense has always been designed for the enterprise world and I know the sales cycle is hard, which is why I&#x27;m looking for a business oriented co-founder(s) and&#x2F;or early investor(s). Git is taking over the enterprise world and I designed GitSense to fill a gap that management loves, which is metrics and tracking. I also built it for myself, as a developer and it has turned into crack for me.<p>The co-founder that I&#x27;m looking for would be my technical equivalent for the business side. I&#x27;m extremely good at what I do and my salary reflected this. I walked away from a 6 figure job, in a region where 6 figures is actually a lot, to pursue my startup. I&#x27;m looking for somebody who can walk into a 6 figure job because they are that good at business, but they have no interest in making others money.<p>If you think GitSense can make a difference and if you think you can help bring it to another level, let me know at terrchen &lt;dot&gt; &lt;at symbol&gt; &lt;dot&gt; sdesoln &lt;dot&gt; com.<p>Sorry about the email, as I don&#x27;t want it to be added to some spam list.

Tech Recruitment is a $ 25 Billion market in the U.S. that hasn&#x27;t innovated much in the last 20 years (besides recruiters getting more expensive).<p>I&#x27;m looking for 2 co-founders in exchange for significant equity. The two roles: One developer to help me further with the backend, and one sales person&#x2F;growth hacker (preferably in US) who can help us gain momentum.<p>Full info of my startup: <a href="http://likewise.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;likewise.io</a><p>To get in touch: hello@likewise.io

Junior Developer looking for designer + Another core developer + Business Dev(Secure Financial Licensing we might need). Goal : Btc&#x2F;Altcoin Exchange + Bank + ATM Network + Crowdfunding + Loan Services + CloudHashing all rolled up into one. Cryptsy + CoinBase + Cexio -- trade all currencies crypto or fiat + enable merchants to accept all crypto payments from one api&#x2F;interface.<p>Imagine being able to mine coin have it sent to your account, and immediately cash it out - with the lowest fees in the industry. It costs $2 on coins-e just to do a withdrawal. Ours will be 1% w&#x2F; a max of $1.<p>We will have atm&#x27;s where people can use them just like an atm, or they can get cash for bitcoin, or vice versa, or other crypto currencies.<p>We will offer consumer and business loans, and micro loans world-wide.<p>We will also have data centers devoted to mining operations, and users can invest their money in cloud mining machines. See Cex.io for an example of how this works.<p>--These are just some ideas, but they could be very profitable, I don&#x27;t have money to invest, but I can code- most familiar w&#x2F; Laravel, I also can manage debian servers and scale a web app. email : patrickwcurl@gmail.com

You will also be working with other teammates sharing knowledge and learning from each other.<p>Furthermore, you can play a role in changing the world, as the platform we&#x27;re creating could potentially impact millions of lives.<p>If you are interested in being part of our team, take a look at the key points we are looking for: <a href="http://unfilled.org/get-involved/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;unfilled.org&#x2F;get-involved&#x2F;</a><p>If you think this position fits to you, just send an email to jeroen[at]unfilled.org and we&#x27;ll get back to you!<p><a href="http://unfilled.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;unfilled.org&#x2F;</a>

Do you want to completely change the way that native mobile apps are developed?<p>I&#x27;m looking for a co-founder for Neonto, join me on this trip:<p><a href="http://neonto.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;neonto.com</a><p>The product is a native Mac app. It&#x27;s close to alpha stage, and I&#x27;m confident that there will be a usable beta in a few months. (Much of the code is recycled from a previous project of mine, Radi [1], so there&#x27;s a proven foundation.)<p>The company has a tiny pre-seed investment and a handful of real customers lined up who are eager to use the product even in an alpha quality release.<p>Having previously done a company alone, I don&#x27;t want to be in that situation again. I&#x27;d love to meet a co-founder who preferably would have either a design or business background combined with a good understanding of mobile user experience.<p>[1] <a href="http://radiapp.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;radiapp.com</a>

Looking for technical cofounder(s).<p>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.<p>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&#x27;s new Universal preK policy.<p>A proprietary, difficult to recreate, conceptual structure provides some protection from others copying the methodology and developing the semantic dictionary.

Just relaunched HypedSound on New Year&#x27;s eve, still working out the kinks but will be consistently iterating. Looking for a Django developer who is interested in discussing the long-term vision and a potential collaboration.<p>Old site had 14,000 user signups and 24,00 audio uploads. New site is a completely new design and feature set but we migrated the users, audio, and some other basics.<p>HypedSound is a creative community where you can upload all your media to one simple, clean profile and sync with your existing social networks. You can have all your content from across the web in one place and a community to share it with.<p><a href="http://www.hypedsound.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hypedsound.com</a><p>-Jonathan@hypedsound.com

I have several ideas to create some open source projects that could be later monetized. I&#x27;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&#x27;m looking for opensource advocates&#x2F;maintainers and functional-programming types (i.e.: F#). My ideas are about music software, and backup&#x2F;sync data tools.<p>Based in Germany. Hit me at andrew.forsure at gmail dot com or through cofounderslab.com: <a href="http://www.cofounderslab.com/profile/ingolstadt-founder-siwatanejo-17462" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cofounderslab.com&#x2F;profile&#x2F;ingolstadt-founder-siwa...</a>

We&#x27;re ramping up an effort to change the way private parties change ownership of a premium used vehicle ($15K+ through marketplace such as Craigslist); we&#x27;re looking for a mobile dev guy to complement our skill set.<p>Our background: hardcore backend dev; basic front-end; understanding of the used car market. We have a world-class UI&#x2F;UX designer helping us out as well. Our weakness: native mobile app dev (we&#x27;ve done some app development before but nothing too serious).<p>location: SF<p>send inquiries to: ahconsidered@hushmail.com<p>EDIT: btw, this is super early, so this isn&#x27;t some kind of &quot;be our first employee&quot; deal disguised as co-foundership.

Location: Chicago, IL Desired Co-Founder: 2D Artist&#x2F;Animator, Web Designer, Coder (I use Node.js or php), Previous funding exp<p>I&#x27;m currently trying to release things on CodeCanyon.net so I could self-fund my start-ups. If there&#x27;s anyone who also works independently it might be helpful to show each other our current projects. It doesn&#x27;t matter if you do code&#x2F;artwork&#x2F;marketing - if we get along maybe we could do a small project together.<p>I&#x27;m also open to applying to tech incubators this Spring. My ideas are a little unorthodox so I&#x27;d probably need someone more grounded to get into an incubator.

I&#x27;m a full-stack duct-tape programmer decided on going all-in on the global Bitcoin experiment in 2014. I have many ideas but no specific product goal yet. If you would describe yourself as enthusiastic and idealistic I would like to have coffee with you. I&#x27;m based in Vienna, Austria but again this is my #1 resolution this year so we probably could arrange other meetup places as well.<p><a href="http://twitter.com/musha68k" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;musha68k</a><p>oskar.grande@gmail.com

Looking for a Business&#x2F;Marketing cofounder.<p>I built <a href="http://www.memobuild.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.memobuild.com</a>, an online editor for technical books and documents. I&#x27;m working on a good launch and customer acquisition plan, and could use some help.<p>The product is already usable and very polished, it&#x27;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.

Evercam.io - Cameras Unleashed - Dublin, Ireland<p>Evercam.io is a developer platform for cameras (any kind of camera). We make it easy for a developer to get a jpeg or stream from a camera, thus unleashing a world of creativity.<p>We&#x27;re two experienced founders looking for a CTO &#x2F; Lead Developer. You&#x27;ll have to be full-stack and a polyglot, but we&#x27;re leaning towards Ruby &#x2F; AWS. The more you know about APIs and Hypermedia, the better.

I&#x27;m in the Baltimore &#x2F; 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&#x27;d be open to part time as well, though I&#x27;d still need to maintain my current FT position, and remote would also be doable.

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&#x27;ve got about 15 years experience in this area, and have been getting the startup itch lately to make some of the ideas materialize.

I&#x27;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&#x27;re interested in chatting about the details!
