Great research. Interesting notes about Chicago in there.

Thank you for leads to both. Coloft sounds great! I think my friend has gone to a few of their events. So, I'll be sure to drag him with me.

I'll see what meetup.com has to offer too. Thank you again!

GaryLivingstonon Ask HN: Where Should I Look For A Programmer To Partner With For My Start Up?

Will do! I'll be sure to look through others first. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you! Lots of fun stuff to look through!

Sidenote: I would hire and pay a very high rate if I was able to. Unfortunately, that illness had me out of work for years and I am just now getting back to the job market. My savings are shot from what my medical insurance didn't cover of my half a million in bills.

I swear I am not someone that looks to take advantage of others or unfairly compensate myself at the expense of another. I believe in the same notion you have about paying for the best of the best and paying what they deserve.

I just simply can not do that at this time so I can only offer what I have and fair ownership of what they put into this.

I hate when people try to take advantage of me as a photographer. Part of why I started this project is to undo that mentality of taking advantage of others and using this project to establish higher rates for all creative people.

Just, one step at a time.

Yeah, I understand the concern. I'm a freelance photographer (have been since 2000) and I prefer to work for cash. However, I do take on projects from time to time in exchange for a % of future income.

I'm currently filming a documentary for a band under such conditions. I believe in their music and their passion and I know there is a market for the DVD once it is a tangible product.

I know it might take some time but, I can find others that believe in my passion and vision to make this highly profitable and successful. I just need to know where such people congregate.

I'm all about building a team. That is for sure. This is my second go at this and I learned a lot before my brain fried out haha. I am not about to make the same mistakes twice.

I do appreciate the suggestion about trading hours for hours. I do enjoy bartering for services/goods with my photography (just did a simple shoot in exchange for a heap of brand new hockey goalie equipment, wee!). I didn't even consider that option for teaming up with a programming team. So, thank you for that.
