Ask HN: Finding tech team

from the ask-hn dept.

Hello and Happy New year!

I am an entrepreneur with no deep knowledge in tech. However, I have a good idea and most importantly startup capital. I am based between DC and NY and would love to meet developers who would like to help me build a new type of social networking platform for niche market. The site would have payment systems and other interesting features.

My real problem is finding the team with tech skills and choosing the right ones. I am willing to hire full-time employees. Please advice me on tackling this milestone. If you would like to join, please let me know - jokhta[at]gmail[dot]com.

Thank you

What about setting up a small recruiting site with a set of programming challenges? It has worked for me in the past.

But I guess you first need to find someone to help you out with that. You may try something like http://www.scriptlance.com/ to get this mini-site done.
