In Los Angeles. Looking for a tech lead co-founder and roommate at the same time
I’ve been working on a mobile app since 2014 when I became fed up with $300 badge scanners at trade shows while in a tech sales position. It’s pivoted towards a short-and-sweet point-and-click cloud organizer for business cards and contact data syncing and is built with the Azure OCR computer vision API in mind for signal processing. It’s in the Apple App store called Sales-Linked (rebranding to Slink or Slinked). I’ve been searching for a tech lead for the software development team in Armenia and for rapid prototyping while going to market (beachhead is professional networking events such as Network after Work).
Roommate of 3 years is returning to the East Coast, leaving a private master bedroom and bathroom in a 2-bedroom 2-bath apartment open Dec. 1. He will be taking all the living room furniture.
Walking distance to Downtown Culver and Palms Metro Station and adjacent to 10/405 interchange. Amenities include gated parking, central a/c, balcony, vaulted ceilings, friendly neighbors and incredible landlords. (Pet-friendly too)
This is a very Silicon Valley move (where I’m from) to incubate a SaaS product toward commercialization and seed capital from institutional investors. Looking for the right person who is ready for the next adventure in their lives towards financial freedom. 50% equity stake for the risk. $1250 monthly rent.
About me: From Sunnyvale, son of an immigrant who was in the start-up scene in the 80’s. Been in LA since 2010. Dropped out of my Graduate Program at USC in Biomedical Engineering to join the LED lighting manufacturing world. Currently busy growing TopGrow Lighting with my co-founder and high school friend (who still lives in Sunnyvale) manufacturing LED lamp replacements for marijuana cultivation, and my personal brand on Instagram as an arts & culture writer (@jhazani)
I’ve been the crash test dummy for the app while doing the field sales of TopGrow and have found it indispensable with all the contacts I gain as a necessity of being customer-facing. But it falls short as a full product with the necessary features of contact filtering and above all else: OCR scanning and data exporting.
If you’re intrepid enough, I invite you to check the place out and see where things go.
- The_DaveG 7y agoIn my trade show experience, the $300 scanners are terrible and most of the time don't scan. I'm not sure if it's typically a scanner issue, a QR code issue, or a system issue, but everything the scanner actually works it's a surprise! I'm on the wrong side of the country, but will keep an eye on you guys and hope to see you at some shows soon.
- achillesheels 7y agoThanks!
- biolurker1 7y agosounds a bit bad that you started the project in 2014 and still you are at seed phase/not launched. Maybe skip that detail nexttime :)
- achillesheels 7y agoOr maybe it shows persistence with a passion project which required non-trivial OCR R&D? Now I’m taking it seriously enough to change my life :)
