Mountain View, CA

Awesomeness Reminders LLC

Our first product is still very profitable and I have some more curveballs in the pipeline. Looking for a technical cofounder. I'm technically competent (I code, fairly well, and can hack my way around pretty much anything) but looking for someone way stronger than me. You should be good with python, pylons, cogen, PHP, JavaScript, Linux, etc. You should be about 20-26 years old, good at math, looking to make a lot of money (I have specific targets), and not lost in delusions about "changing the world" and chasing VC funding. Products must have a clear monetization strategy from day 1. Looking to do some cool stuff combining nerdy genius with internet marketing. For the right person I'll fly you out to Mountain View, etc. Please "keep it real."



So -- blatant age discrimination, huh? That's... awesome, dude.


There's nothing illegal about age discrimination when choosing a cofounder, just as there isn't when choosing a friend.


I'm 23. I'm looking for a partner, not a W2 employee.


not a W2 employee.

I'd suggest one of the cofounder-wanted threads would be better, then, than a hiring thread.


That's cool. Still, it's better form to at least try to not to use language that smacks of category-based discrimination. Just stating your age, for example, will instantly repel anyone in the pushing-30-or-over set.


In the past I have attracted older people who want to partner, so although I welcome advice on form your feedback is flawed.
