Here's an opportunity I posted recently on craigslist. Given my particular interest in finding a Django guru, I wanted to call it to the attention of this group...
----- Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2007-01-09, 12:04PM I am a veteran early stage technology company executive who is starting a Washington, DC-area based Web 2.0 venture. Our company will be providing crowdsourced product ratings and a social network in a large and well-developed vertical market. I am seeking a part-time contractor to advise me on the selection of the best technology, vendors and/or sub-contractors needed to provide the most appropriate off-the-shelf programs and/or custom applications needed to create a working prototype and ultimately to launch the final website. The kind of technology we will be assembling will range from the writing of simple macros to the overall administration of the company's technology infrastructure: the user interfaces and back-end infrastructure; screen scraping, web crawlers, collaborative filtering engines, social network applications, etc. I am not a technologists per se, but my research and knowledge of the overall project requirements give me a bias toward open-source solutions and web frameworks ( e.g. AJAX, Ruby on Rails, Python/Django, etc.) to facilitate rapid and cost-effective site development. I am open to working with one person; a combination of several individuals; or a small firm, depending on who can offer the best capabilities, work capacity, affordability, and working relationship. I am looking for smart, ambitious, enthusiastic, energetic, hard working and pleasant people who want an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new venture. During the initial product and customer development phases I will be relying entirely on contractors and outsourcers to minimize my upfront capital needs. However, I have secured seed funding sufficient to sustain the company's low projected burn rate for at least a year, after which time I will be raising venture capital necessary to aggressively market and scale this business. Applicants should send a resume and brief cover letter describing your qualifications, interests, why you believe you would be a good fit with this opportunity, and your general compensation expectations relative to the amount of time you have to devote to this undertaking.
