Great to see my alma mater doing competitions like this! Looking forward to seeing the results.

The way it should be!

$23/month does seem a bit steep, it'd be cool if you could work in a way for those start ups to get a percentage of the $$, that way we can feel like we are all helping the start up movement. I'd be more willing to spend $23/month if I thought it was going to help a start up in some way.

I should also mention I have deep, intimate knowledge of the industry we service (its a B2B service) and lots of connections that will help us grow!

it should be in there..but here ya go: [email protected]

feel free to shoot me an email, always willing to help out.

Being someone who is also actively looking for a tech person, from my experience you need to do a lot more than throw a post up on Hacker News, including being more transparent about yourself.

It wasn't until I launched a product (which i had developed by outsourcing it), marketed it up to 5,000 users, got paying customers till tech people payed any attention to me. I have also have deep industry knowledge and connections that help.

You don't need a tech person to get things moving. Outsource an MVP or prototype. Spend a little to get someone interested and excited.

Just my 2 cents.

I'd be down for an online class too!

any recommendations on the best way to become self taught? (books, tutorials, ect?)
