Best place to find Enterprise Web App Co-Founder / Founding Developer?
What is the best way to attract an entrepreneurial programmer as a co-founder / lead-engineer when most sites require compensation information to pique even passing curiosity?
Atlanta-based serial-startup entrepreneur with a suite of Web Apps developed based on experience with what ISN'T in the market / affordable. I have posted on Startuply / Craigslist / etc. and just launched our blog:

Architecture / Design / Marketing / Sales skill sets here as well as proven track record building innovative companies.
Any advice would be helpful!
- babul 18y agoThis question occurs often and the short answer to finding the talent/co-founder you want is to go to the watering holes they frequent i.e. conventions, events, meetups. Network, get known, know people, find a compatible match. Also http://www.searchyc.com http://www.searchyc.com can provide you with many of the answers you seek if you are willing to spend the time e.g. http://searchyc.com/comments/where+can+I+find+good+programmers http://searchyc.com/comments/where+can+I+find+good+programme... and http://searchyc.com/comments/finding+a+cofounder?sort=by_points http://searchyc.com/comments/finding+a+cofounder?sort=by_poi... Lastly, finding a co-founder is a lot like dating and creating a serious startup a lot like marriage. You will spend a lot of time with this person(s) so spend time to get to know one another and ensure the fit is right. Perhaps work on something light/fun before going full speed into a startup.
