We are a very small team, in super early, pre-funding stage. Our business idea has been validated by a couple of key industry executives - from the viability, (high level) business model and funding perspective. And, we are now in the process of (informally) validating it with potential users. We have experienced high-profile advisors - seasoned startup folks, Stanford, IIT alumni.
Currently we are working on the initial prototype. The problem we are trying to solve requires expertise in crawling, search, social network APIs, and social graph algorithms. We are looking for a rock star hacker to join the founding team (potential tech co-founder) - someone with strong experience in the following areas, though we fundamentally believe that anything can be learnt if you have a good base/foundation and the right attitude, and you are committed -
- information retrieval, extraction
- social network APIs (linkedin, facebook, twitter)
- experience or knowledge of social graph (desired)
- social networks aggregation (desired).
Passion and commitment are an absolute must! Also, it will help if you are a believer of Lean startup principles.
We are based out of Silicon Valley, CA - and we would highly prefer someone local. Btw, we all still have our day jobs and intend to keep it till this startup reaches a stage where we are able to raise some funding and afford to dedicate full time to it.
