The #1 request from the 100+ startups launching new companies and products next week at LAUNCH is angel funding.<p>Right behind that request is developers. As such, we're going to offer 50 developers complimentary tickets to the event. Simply email your resume and/or linked in URL to developers@launch.is and we'll give you sign you up.<p>Note: we won't give your resume or email to anyone. We just want to make sure we're not giving tickets to lawyers or head hunters.
It's really hard to get a 1st time conf off the ground, even if you are Jason Calacanis. I like the effort that Launch is putting into getting people involved and offering deals like this. They are being very active and it will pay off.
Jason: don't take this as a personal attack, but proofreading is your friend. I know you're a busy person, but it seems like more often than not I have to reread your copy because you didn't.
On a related note, we're looking for a student to help us with our startup on the LAUNCH PAD. The third person we had for our team can't make it to SF and we're hoping to fill her place with someone who wants to be a part of the action.<p>So if you're just starting out, in school or just learning to program or design on your own, and you'd like to help out the people launching the Windsoc Unified Social API, please let me know (regan@windsoc.co).<p>We have a ticket for you, and we'd pay for your food and drink and something for the help. We're also hoping that if the event goes well, you might consider helping us again in future.<p>And Jason, let me know if you have a problem with this type of recruitment. Thanks!
Very cool. I won't be attending, but watching you invite companies on TWiST and hackernews ensures I will follow the news of the event since I can visualize all these people coming together.
