Looking for CTO partner for startup

Posted by dotmatrix on Tuesday March 24, 2009 @12:20AM
from the self-post dept.

I am looking for technical co-founder in the Bay Area to partner up with for my startup called digizal.com, an e-commerce platform for a disruptive industry.

If you consider yourself a guru in PHP, Javascript, Ajax, HTML, CSS, MYSQL and other languages and just love to hack stuff please send me some info about you and your projects to [email protected]. As a co-founder you will be responsible for heavy coding, infrastructure, and all aspects technical.

I have recently applied for Ycombinator summer term and with a kick but technical partner this startup can't be reckoned with. I have vast experience with e-commerce and have generated a lot of moola for a successful e-commerce company.

About me, this is my second startup the first was acquired when I finished college by a Bay Area technology company. I can give you all the details later, I am welcome to face to face meetings.

One of the great things about your own project is using technologies that you want to work with. Telling the "CTO" he's going to be using PHP/MySQL is going to diminish the attractiveness for some.

haha, yes, I would think the CTO would be able to decide on the technologies?

My suspicion is that there's some prototype of the product and they need a code ninja to take it to the next level.

Yeah, using a set language could be unattractive, but I am building a release product right now and its already underway. There is always room for input on what technologies we choose its just that PHP/MySQL was the most affordable and available at the time I started the project.

Hey Ajay,

We did meet at a HN meetup, I believe you said you were developing an iphone app last time we met.
