Exclamation Looking for Web Heads!

Hello Everyone!

I'm looking for a team to build a social networking type website directed toward entrepreneurs. The concept is extremely well developed and now I'm looking for some folks who would like to join and make the concept a reality.

I am looking for three smart people with strong technical/web skills. If that sounds like you please e-mail me. You will get 20% of the company (there is another person already on board, so we are sharing it equally).

My personal e-mail is: harry1984@hotmail.com

Please put "Young Entrepreneur" in the subject line so your message isn't missed.

P.S: When your e-mail is received I will give you more details there. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Harry J. Chong

Hello Akula,

Every person will get 20% of the company and/or future earnings. That's all. There's no immediate reward. And I know this is a tossed cliche of the young entrepreneur, but it will be successful (with the right people).

I know there's a huge social-networking fad/novelty going on right now, but there's still an opportunity to put the idea to better use. There isn't a big enough online community right now to meet that need (for entrepreneurs).

Hey Akual you know what's funny, the irony behind the idea. It's actually something I really need right now to help build this business idea/team. Actually come to think of it, it's more of a catch 22...well close enough anyway.

Oh, e-mail if you want the address to the make-shift website Akula. I'd prefer not to post it here, since it encompasses my entire vision. Don't worry no NDA required, I know you're an entrepreneur too (well me not so much) -- but I know you wouldn't swipe an idea.

if you are looking for designers and programmers or even other entrepreneurs check Programmer Meet Designer.

Also, as far as your idea is concerned...Its not something I would pursue simply because there are sites out there like linkedin, startup nation, and even young entrepreneur that provide social networking for entrepreneurs and have been around a lot longer.

What is your "X" factor when it comes to competitive advantage because as of right now...its not apparent?

Harry, obviously, I'm not happy with your initial offer.

In building a site, I'll incur cash expenses and opportunity costs

That said, even though I've incurred all these costs (which you haven't), I continue to face the same risk as you do in terms of the venture generating a return in the future.

If I put all this effort in, I expect to face less risk than you do, because all these expenses will reduce my future return on investment, and if my expected return is lower, therefore my risk should also decrease.

Will you provide the marketing budget for the project?

It only seems fair that if I put up 10k in web development and maintenance, you put up 10k for marketing expenses.

You guys can be employees if you want. Go ahead. Chase after your security and guaranteed pay cheques. You guys obviously aren't entrepreneurs, you don't want to take any risk whatsoever, you're simply lazy employees posing as entrepreneurs. You just like the romance, the notion of being an entrepreneur. If you're not on the edge you're an employee. Good luck in the future JPMORGAN you'll need it.

Well, if anyone was debating if they should jump on board with Harry, I think his last post pretty much ended the debate. Good luck bro.
