As developers, we get pitches like this 5, 10, 20 or more times a week; I don't know too many people who are interested in jumping to work for an idea guy unless that idea guy can do sales, write code, do design, or otherwise contribute.
Hackers have lots of good ideas too, look at Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, etc... All of those companies were created by hackers who happened to also be idea guys; so just having the idea is not nearly enough.
Here's a good chance for you to work on your pitching skills ;)
- Rockfile 16y agoVery fair comment. For starters i am a guy who has already had a very high level of success in another industry - investment banking -and while that industry isnt generating a lot of high fives at the moment, it is generally populated by high acheiving, smart, motivated people who know how to get things done. I am one of those people and succeeded at the highest levels generally working w small, growth companies on strategy, mergers and finance so i have some skills to bring to the table other than ideas. Next, i am a good guy with vision and judgement and passion. Finally, i have an office and will be committing all of my time to this idea AND i can help with $ if that makes sense. This obviously only works if my cofounder is as passionate about the idea as i am so if you are at all interested get in touch!
