The Fireworks Project is recruiting members. This is not a typical job and certainly not a typical start up. We're looking for guy or gal #3. If you don't want to have anything to do with us, I'd still like to get your thoughts on our member managed corporate structure.

No resume or CV please. I want to see blogs, GitHub accounts, StackOverflow accounts, and the like.

Your legal document has an error. You cannot arbitrarily decide to pay your members (LLC partners) as 1099 contractors. You must follow IRS rules. From reading the rest of the description of your plan, IRS rules will be contrary to your 1099/contractor classification.


The company was chartered under the legal guidance of The Berkman Center, specifically The Vermont Project. We worked diligently through the unique legal formation to be sure it complied with all tax code and SEC laws. There is nothing in our legal agreement that explicitly states we are LLC partners, but rather a member owned and managed LLC under Vermont law.

It is a unique and innovative legal formation yes, but not an illegal one.
