Cofounder wanted
Under funded but over motivated new startup is looking for a second technical cofounder to make us a trio.
What is this about?
Our startup is working on aggregating, categorizing and contextualizing data from across the internet
in a business context and evaluating people based on a algorithm that is fed by the gathered data.
(so if you are looking for a position at some cookie cutter webapp you can stop reading right here)
We (one technical and one nontechnical founder) are looking for another
nerd/programmer/web developer/software engineer/hacker/pythonista/ninja/rockstar/code enthusiast/generalist/brogrammer
or whatever you prefer to call yourself to join our team.
This is not just an idea and we've been actively working on this project for a while now.
Right now we are not averse to external funding but we much rather give equity to another passionate cofounder.
Our current stack includes but is not limited to:
Django/Python
MongoDB
Coffescript (with jQuery)
(and in the future Redis)
[Git for VC]
While it would be cool if you are familiar those technologies it is not a perquisite if you are willing to learn/adopt
and/or even bring experience with other technologies to the table (which we will gladly incorporate if it makes sense).
We are looking for someone with the following skill set:
-flexible (you can go from "lets hack this prototype in 12 hrs to launch our MVP"
to "lets rewrite this class until it's cleaner than Meister Propers bald head)
-creative (if successfully solving problems were a drug you would be addicted to it)
-willing to learn (you love bleeding-edge technology and new challenges)
-willing to object (you are not afraid to voice your opinion)
-> willing to teach (if you know a better way you will share it with us)
-self-managed (you don't need someone to coordinate your every step)
-you enjoy writing code (duh!)
If you enjoy structuring and working with data and want to take part in a project that will create
a completely new perspective on business networking and career planning online you should join us.
As a cofounder you will have equal equity and say on all future decisions (technical and nontechnical).
Benefits include a constant supply of club mate and an introduction into the nightlife of Berlin
(we will get you into every club you desire [yes even the Berghain]).
We will also find you (one or more) girlfriends (only if you want to) and make sure that the time
you won't spend innovating and hacking with us is highly entertaining.
Also if someone is giving you crap you we will beat him up with keyboards and strangle him with a mouse cord (just kidding....or are we?)
So if any of this is appealing to you and you want to help us craft a truly innovative new web platform
and solve exciting new problems you should drop us an email so we can meet in person and answer all your questions.
contact: cofounder@webhype.me
Note :
don't let our current website distract you.
As of now we are bootstrapping and financing ourselves by doing a little work on the side.
We're still working 5-6 days a week on this project (we also work on weekends).
This is definitely not an agency job!
