We may not have interested parties yet, but we do have several interesting parties, and here is one of them. I've been reading Ilya Vedrashko's MIT Advertising Lab blog, not because I'm a general reader of advertising blogs, but because it's full of the kinds of ideas I like. So when he posted his resume (and offered to sell advertising space on it--hah!) I contacted him. In discussing the possibility of being one of several disparate and far flung people working on the project this summer, he came up with several extremely novel ideas like this one:
I guess a reasonable thing to do is to put together a list of first-priority tasks that need be done over summer together with time estimates, then have each participant pick what they can do best. Then we can test Kerabu in action :) -
What I particularly like about this idea is that it allows everyone who works on this project to be an entrepreneur (which makes me sort of a general contractor). It also seems like a good way for us to test drive each other. By the time the company is ready for full time engagement, we should know who will be an equity partner, who else will be an independent contractor, etc. Paul Graham, one of my favorite writers, has said that he doesn't believe in employees anymore, only entrepreneurs. I quite agree.
