Interesting, maybe I can offer some insight to this.... so I'm the dreaded “Business Sales guy" with an Internet startup that "just needs a technical guy". Could it get any worse? Yes - I also worked for random companies in sales positions and have failed with a few small business ideas.
...but please put down the weapons - I have some redeeming features!
I am currently in the position financially to work 40 plus hours a week on this latest venture(Portal 4D) which is a first in my life(27 years old for those who must know). The past two months I have built the first real concept working on market validation and segmentation, have been working with consultants and tech incubators to get to the point of having a minimum viable product.
I have been working for pre-seed round funding and one thing that was impressed on me was that I need a technical co-founder. I agree.
Portal 4d is not currently built other than some wire framing ideas.
I'm looking for someone who loves the Portal 4D concept, particularly if they have worked in a customer service environment or with large companies that can not provide adequate customer service. I'm not married to a particular development platform and will be open to all suggestions.
The general concept is a virtual customer service employee who from our call center will provide our clients customers with trained assistance via video conferencing on a mobile phone or tablet.
Joining full-time would be dependent on me getting further funding (unless you really want to start full-time now which I would prefer). I haven't really started pitching seriously yet, but off the back of a few industry connections I have some pretty good investor interest.
Equity etc to be discussed!
About me: in a former life I was a in the construction business, with a degree in Construction Technology. So while I can't do much with Java, I used to be pretty good at solving real world problems with out of the box solutions. My goal is to find a co-founder who believes what I believe and work together so that we can all succeed.
