I'm in the process of building a niche social networking app and I would like to have a partner who is stronger with Ruby on Rails than I am. I'm a designer and I have been learning Ruby on the side but this project would run smoother if I could entrust the development side of things to a expert and I continue with the design, marketing, ad sales and business side of things.
If you are interested in speaking more about this, let me know. I will send you a NDA, you sign it and then we will discuss in detail from there. If we have a good connection we will move forward from there.
Now let me be clear. I'm looking for a business partner NOT a hire. I have been working on this project for about a month and a half on the design and etc and I'm looking for a ruby programming partner who can take care of the backend building of the social network.
The difference here is that I'm look for someone who wants to build something along with me and we both get paid at the other side when it launches ( splitting the revenue ) and when we sell of the company ( splitting the profit from the sale ). Therefore that mean during the build stage, neither of us will be paid. That is what makes it a partnership and not a hire.In fact I'm doing other things to support myself while I'm doing this, so I'm not getting paid to do this now but I believe the pay off will be great given that ad spending on social networks will increase to about 2 billion by 2012.
So that's the general idea and premise behind my "call." If it's something you are interested in pursuing, hit me up.
Thanks Douglas Paul
