Now THAT is a tough question. I'm not sure I agree with the "sleazy-over-the-counter-salesperson doesn't at all" part, but I can sympathize with the sentiment.

Now THAT is a tough question. I'm not sure I agree with the "sleazy-over-the-counter-salesperson doesn't at all" part, but I can sympathize with the sentiment. Nobody wants to give up their golden project, to someone that doesn't care as much as them. Hopefully this app will do justice in providing equal incentives for both sides. Like I said in my comment to @theuncommon: This app isn't so much to "find someone to do a job for me", "find the perfect co-founder", or to "build a company" like so many apps out there already do. The goal of this app is to bring to life the projects on the shelf. To revive the github graveyard, and maybe make some extra cash while you do it. There are so many great ideas just sitting, unused because developers simply don't have the time/motivation to go out and sell the thing. After all, we have side projects for the love of building. Not the love of selling and marketing. From a sales perspective, you get access to great products with sales potential. From the dev perspective, it gives your project a chance to live while granting you the luxury of being able to focus on building (not sales). Both parties have an opportunity to make a good chunk of change on the side.
