    Great Startup Opportunity in Atlanta

    Sometimes, out of the chaos of business, great ideas emerge.  Unfortunately, you rarely have the chance to aggressively chase those great ideas in the here-and-now.

    I’ll be blogging more about this soon, but we’ve been pretty busy at StarPound lately.  We ended Q4/2009 strong, including the deployment of our platform to solve some major problems for a Fortune 50 customer (largest global player in their industry).  But amid all of the frenetic activity in Q4, something else emerged.  A really, really cool thing that I’ve decided needs to be it’s own thing.

    So, to cut to the chase – here is what I am looking for.  Hopefully, some of you may have someone in mind for this:

    I’m looking for an energetic, startup-minded developer (C++, Javascript, AJAX, XHTML, CSS, widgets, maybe some PHP, MySQL, etc).  Some Java would be nice, but not required.  The technology is a very unique IP voice application.  I am willing to give this person:

    • Fully paid 3-4 bedroom apartment, including utilities – we’ll eventually give you some roommates to work with :)
    • Salary, albeit small, but there nonetheless
    • Equity in the newco

    This person needs to be here in Atlanta, and is ideally a junior level person and is looking for a cool startup opportunity.  This is an awesome chance to get in on the ground floor of something very cool and exciting.

    If you have anyone in mind, you can reach me at sburkett AT star-pound-tech dot com (no dashes).

    Cheers.

    Scott,
    I’d like to talk to you about your startup opportunity; it sound exactly what I’m looking for, and I believe I have the skill set you require. Even if it’s not, I always like to meet Serial-entrepreneurs! ;-)
