We’re looking for a one (wo)man developer army who wants to work with Venture Hacks to build our next product. It’s in a $25 billion market filled with lame products and unsatisfied customers. This is a founder-level role for the right person.
We’re also offering a $1000 referral bounty if we hire someone you refer.
About Us
Naval and I have started companies like Epinions and Songbird where we’ve raised $100M+ from investors like Sequoia. Read our full bios for the whole story.
Now, we’ve gone crazy for helping entrepreneurs build their businesses. You already know about our first product: Term Sheet Hacks. The hacks will keep coming—unsolicited reviews from the founders of Flixster and ‘Hot or Not’ call the hacks “much needed” and “fantastic”.
The next Venture Hacks product is going to serve a $25 billion market and make it even easier for entrepreneurs to raise money. It’s going to be a lot of fun to build it and take over the universe (or something smaller like a galaxy).
About You
Contribution: Work with us to build a great user experience and back-end. Social software experience is a plus. Full-time or consulting works for us. Develop with whatever tools and language you think are best for the project.
Compensation: Salary is above market and stock is way above market. This is a founder-level role for the right person.
Contact: Send links to your best work to nivi@venturehacks.com. Please include one or two sentences that describe why you have a high level of ability.
Gracias!

Ever considered the one woman army? Can you get any more sexist?
# Nivi · Jun 21, 2007
Don’t blame me. Blame english. If I could, I would use Perl instead. ;-)
I fixed it. Thanks for keeping us on our toes!

Cool. Thanks much! I didn’t mean to be so harsh about it. I’ve been reading the blog regularly as entertaining and helpful. I hope you keep it up.

Blame English? Is “Person” not an English word?
:-P

what type of skills does the developer need to have?
# Nivi · Jun 22, 2007
Build a great user experience and the back-end. One-(wo)man developer army. Do it all. Use whatever tools you like.

Good luck ! reading this post the following quote came to my mind:
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”

Would this one person army develop everything, or manage a development team?
# Nivi · Jun 28, 2007
Initially do all the development and as the product starts to work, he/she could manage other developers depending on his/her interest and skills.
