I personally think that if you were to take on another founder then you should get one that doesn’t have coding skills, but one with financial, marketing or legal expertise.

I’ll send out your request to some friends of mine in Adelaide, but no promises as I don’t actually know anyone with Python skills.

Cheers!

Well not sure (as the date of this blog entry is March, and it’s now August) if you did get anything sorted?

It’s strange, I am currently (sort of intermittently!) working/helping with two tech startups – however virtually no income! but a strong belief they will work out.. of course got to try to pay our way, so trying to balance a few smaller paying contracts.

Anyway, the point being is that I am currently in Sydney – my partner and I work really well together as she does mostly frontend/CSS/GX/UI/DB stuff, and I work on the backend side of things. We are just into the whole entrepreneurial thing (otherwise we would have gone back into say finance/banking IT and earn some decent cash!). I have approx 23 years IT experience.. wide range of technologies – my python is a little rusty, however I use .NET/Java/PHP/Javascript (some NodeJS stuff too) and recently a dose of Ruby/Rails, so picking up stuff is usually “relatively” ok.

We follow a lot of the “Silicon Beach” stuff too – however not quite managed to get along to any events yet!

Anyway, not sure if you are sorted, or if we might be able to help in other ways. I should build up my profile a little more, however I’m on twitter of course (@davidsheardown), also trying to keep my site up to date (ish!) http://davidsheardown.weebly.com and of course the easiest way is to just chat/skype etc I think! (skype id: davidsheardown)

Look forward to chatting – seems like a decent enough idea for sure!

1) close proximity + small talent pool

OR

2) low proximity + large talent pool

If ‘small talent pool’ in option 1 is so small that it is actually zero, then option 1 is no longer an option.

There is something about a bunch of people in a room with a whiteboard that can’t be beaten. Since in a startup so many forces are already against you, I think it’s important to not compromise on the factors that you can control. So to maximize our chances of success we need to all be in the same room with a whiteboard…

Expecting someone to relocate – to a pretty poor tech scene – and receive ZERO salary is a bit much don’t you think?

If you want more applications, you will need to open up to remote developers.

It’s much easier and faster to make the language suit your needs if you know its weaknesses already.

Aggregator websites such as Dealpinch provide consumers with an imporant service making it easier for consumers to view all the deals. My friends and I also set up a deal aggregator that we are really proud of. Hopefully, you’ll find http://dealsguide.com.au useful

The Tornado web server is quite nice and all the tools/code run fine on Windows. Also nice that there won’t be any growing licensing costs when we start to scale.
