Looking for cofounder

5 点作者 scottdw2超过 13 年前
I'm looking for a cofounder to help me disrupt the GIS industry. I'm looking to create the 280 slides of GIS.<p>The goal would be to apply to YC for the winter session. Anybody here interested?

Hi, I graduated college with an undergraduate degree in Geography, specializing in GIS. My professional background is software development, and a few years back I transitioned into user experience design.<p>I'm wondering what, specifically, you're looking to "revolutionize." ESRI's suite is ugly, complicated and crash-prone compared to, say, Manifold, but Manifold has little traction in the market. It's like Word and OpenOffice.<p>GIS is a super-broad product category that support everything from photogrammetry to spatial analysis (think demographics, computing safety of bike paths, lines of sight for signage) across both vector and raster data with arbitrary reference points (did you know that most geographic data sets aren't globally georeferenced?).<p>Making a web-based clone of Powerpoint as an excuse to reinvent Objective C and Cocoa in JavaScript is comparatively easy. Your statement makes me skeptical that you know anything about the market at all.

In another life, I would have been interested, but I'm too busy with other stuff right now. I endured the pain of ArcGIS for a few years in my last job.<p>I don't know what specific problems you are looking to address first, but have a good read of the ESRI forums. They are a treasure trove of business ideas. You might also be able to get your first users there by solving their ArcGIS problems.

Possibly... Are you a fellow developer or a suit?
