[thelist] looking for a pure startup opportunity..

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	You might do well to read some books like The 22 Immutable Laws
of Marketing (Al Ries and Jack Trout), and Secrets of Consulting (Gerald
Weinberg) before thinking you're going to make it big by being yet
another development outfit.  Also, please keep the political opinions
off the list.
	For what it's worth, someone much more business-savvy than I
once told me that today's investors aren't just looking for something
that will turn a profit or break even.  They're looking for you to "hit
it out of the park"; they want something that will give tremendous
returns to cover their losses on five other projects.  If you expect
funding, you'd better have one bang-up idea and a crack salesman as
well... not to mention someone who knows marketing (which is much more
than just advertising).

My 2 cents; take 'em or leave 'em...

hi...

i'm out here in california, the bay area, and was wondering if anyone on
the list is interested in either being partners, forming a startup? or
if anyone has an idea/concept, and you're looking for people to be part
of your team...

i've read way too many articles about the 3 kids/guys/etc... who managed
to get $10 million in funding for esentially a basic idea, but they
had/have traffic/eyeballs!!!

so, if you're looking at your shrinking retirement going to iraq, and
you want something more out of life, let's talk!!

with the right combination of web development skills
(perl/php/c/apache/linux/mysql/html/css) we can do some damage. there
are numerous opportunities for the right 3-5 person team!

regards,

bruce
