I'm seeking a co-founder in the Greater Boston area to help me startup a company at Social.com (not related to the current web site).<p>My plan is to offer consumer microblogging services over utilities such as Twitter, with a possible social networking component. I'm looking for a proven professional with Web 2.0 startup experience who can help me explore the market, develop a business plan, finish a prototype, and find funding.<p>You would be working with someone who is an experienced programmer and techie. I've been working on some general infrastructure code toward an example Twitter App. I take a solid approach to programming projects which includes exception handling, testing, code coverage, documentation, etc.<p>I'm open to the possibility that two co-founders might fill this need - one to assist with UI and backend tasks (currently Perl/Catalyst) and the other to focus on business needs.<p>If you are interested and live in the Greater Boston area (this is a must), please send e-mail with some information about yourself to:<p>cofounder (at) social.com<p>Thanks!
We need to organize another HN Boston meet up (using Anyvite of course).<p>BlueSkies, we should go out for drinks sometimes now that TS's Worldwide HQ is in Boston for another year. Email is in my profile if you're interested.<p>BTW I'd skip the business plan and just start producing and hustling. The YC application is a great "roadmap", if you will, even if you don't end up submitting it.
Come to the Ignite Boston 4 event tonight: <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/09/ignite-boston-4-this-thursday.html" rel="nofollow">http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/09/ignite-boston-4-this-thursd...</a><p>There will be a good-sized techie crowd there, in an informal networking environment. I'm sure you can make a better impression to potential co-founders through an interesting in-person conversation than you could through an online recruitment posting.<p>WebInno is another, slightly more formal (more dress shirts than t-shirts), event that's big on networking, happening this next Monday: <a href="http://www.webinnovatorsgroup.com/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.webinnovatorsgroup.com/index.php</a><p>Hope to see you around.
Hi,<p>I would be interested in advising you and helping you as much as I can. I was recently the Vice President of Product Management for MocoSpace, which is the largest mobile focused social network in the US.<p>I'm now launching a mobile interactive agency called Liquid Wireless. Shoot me an email at cianchette at gmail if you want to connect.<p>Jason
