We're a b2b startup in the manufacturing and design sector. The basic app is a profile page gets matched to a project posting (think craigslist-like, where someone posts "wanted to buy" and it matches with people's profiles who sell that object). Nothing too complex, scalability shouldn't ever be too much of an issue. The hardest problem we'll end up facing is our search/matching technology, although our input data is very clean and structured to search against. In general our dev stuff is simple -- post a project, and it gets matched to profiles. I'm just starting to delve into the matching component (I think we'll use Solr), but I guess we're just trying to find someone who has gone the following route before (as the lead dev): bootstrapped -> get out MVP -> get money -> lead/primary/sole developer -> adding a few local developers -> moving out of code as you re-architect system for growth.
