Launchbox 08 team looking for hacker co-founders
Didn't get into YC but still have a burning itch to get in on the ground level on a seed-funded startup?
A Launchbox (http://www.launchboxdigital.com) duo is looking for passionate co-founding hackers.
We'll be in Wash, DC for the summer, starting ... next week, and we're looking to fill the team with one (or two) awesome hacker(s).
Some tools you'll need proficiency with:
- PHP
- AJAX/JavaScript
- XML/XSLT
- W3C DOM methods and properties
- Experience in database design, SQL and object relational mapping.
- (BONUS: Working knowledge of Internet protocols, networks, HTML, TCP/IP, CSS, Python, Perl and/or Shell preferred.)
Those looking for a challenge can expect heuristic algorithms.
Email launchboxhackers@gmail.com with whatever you think will convince us you're the right fit for the team.
- hoffmabc 18y agoI feel bad if they hired your team missing key hacker co-founders. I always thought these incubators picked groups mostly on the team. Besides the small amount that Launchbox is actually offering should guarantee you waste most of your summer on this idea. Better off going your own way.
