Looking for technical co-founder | Hacker News

I'm looking for a full-time frontend/backend developer for a social networking and comparative health startup for chronically-ill patients. Without going into too much detail, we are using a proprietary algorithm for connecting patients based on a combination of medical and interpersonal criteria. The comparative health element is a simulation of the actual health product development cycle into a fully interactive experience for patients. The purpose of this component is empowering into a voting bloc that influences health-product companies' decisions while making the process fun and rewarding for them.My personal background is in business: marketing, strategy, legal dispute analysis, financial analysis. I am a chronically-ill patient myself, so this is a service I've experienced a critical and deeply personal need for, for the last 4 years. I do not have back-end programming knowledge, but I do have experience collaborating with developers in both site planning and development.Business plan including in-depth target market and competitive analysis, product/revenue/marketing/target audience milestones, cash flow projections by each milestone are available for review.I have secured angel funding sources when required. This project has piqued the interest of several developers with startup experience, but so far none of the potential long-term candidates can commit full-time.Only looking for local US developers. Although programming skill set is obviously important, I consider personality compatibility to be more important in a startup environment so just for starters here are some of the basic traits I'm looking for:- Someone with a balanced lifestyle: wants to work on a startup full-time (8 hrs/day) but understands the need to decompress. I am very ambitious and entrepreneurial by nature but because of my health concerns I do not fit the 20-something, staying up on caffeine all night startup mold.- Impeccable communication skills are needed, so that we don't waste time passing emails back and forth clearing up misinterpretations.- Someone that has personal reasons for working on a health 2.0 startup: when you contact me, tell me precisely why (personal experience? lifestyle change? moral compass?)you're willing to dedicate a good chunk of your life to a website for very sick patients. I do not want to work with someone that is looking purely for profit or purely an entrepreneurial "rush", regardless of the startup's future income prospects.- Someone that also has a strong viewpoint (and thus will participate in strategy-shaping) but is also is consistently open-minded.- Level-headed, deeply analytic types that don't settle for quick and convenient answers. I am not a contentious person but I will discuss anything to death if it merits discussing.I look forward to hearing from any developers that fit that description.Please email me at [email protected]
