techcofounder

I know too many startups trying to get cheap or free labor from young college kids. Before you try that, better make sure it's legal (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html)

This is exactly the problem we're trying to solve at Techcofounder.com. We've found that there are a ton of entrepreneurs with great ideas but who might lack a large network of developers. This is especially true for entrepreneurs who don't live in large tech hubs like SF, NYC, Boston, Denver, or Houston.

missing Omnigraffle from the wireframing tools list

The purpose of the site isn't to discount non-technical cofounders. Being a product guy myself, I recognize the important of product vision, strategy, as well as other non-technical expertise like contract law, etc etc. That said, from my personal experience I've had a lot more people ping me about intros to good coders than to non-technical folks who want to start a company. After evaluating the other tools/services out there to meet interested parties I decided to build techcofounder.com b/c I felt it served the greatest void in this area.

International support deployed. Have at it!

Yep, "programmer" is too long, which is why i used the term "coder". I'm a programmer too and never thought it had any negative connotations.

Hi Andrew -

Techcofounder.com is not a job site. It's meant to help entrepreneurs find technical people who are interested in doing a startup. Engineers create profiles listing skills, experience, etc. They aren't posting job ads.

good feedback! I'll go for a darker orange and see how that is.

I like the black and gold b/c it's kinda unique. looks different than most other sites.

@mismax, I hear ya and getting similar feedback from many others as well. I will def build in int'l support asap!

@sachinag, thanks for feedback. good point on not requiring anonymity.

@tom_ilsinszki, I will add int'l support shortly. In the meantime, please go ahead and create a profile and choose arbitrary location. I can update it for you later.
