I was wondering if anyone would be interested in developing a website around that idea. Only instead of contractors, it would be for findingco-founders.
I was thinking that the site would have two sections.
In one, it would allow people wiling to work for equity to post their skills/resumes.
In the other, it would allow people to post their ideas (say a web app they want to build), and put up requests for developers, designers, etc, who have the necessary skills. And also indicate how much equity s/he would be willing to share with each.
The reason I think this will be good idea is because I am a designer and a very good one at that (my portfolio is at www.alexwyser.com), but I dont have any coding skills. My head is full of all kinds of interesting ideas, but I cannot execute them. If a talented developer(s) would be willing to work with me on my ideas, I would gladly give him/her 80% or more of the equity.
I understand that it is best to find co-founders from among you real-life friends/acquaintances, but some people simply don't know anyone with the right skills.
I am sure that a lot of people here have ideas they can't execute because they lack the skill and don't know anyone with those skills, and would find this site very helpful.
So what do you guys think? Would it work? Is it worth trying out? Would anyone like to work with me to build this website?
