This position would be as a full partner and co-founder of a newly planned web start-up. The business is just an idea at this point and I'm looking for someone that would be willing to develop the business with me from the ground up.
The problem we would be solving is how potential students of, or those seeking a position in, a college or university find out about actual experiences of current students, faculty and staff. This type of information is gleaned currently through word of mouth; we would investigate how this could be accomplished using Web 2.0 tools.
I'm located in central North Carolina, but open to discussions with possible partners in other parts of the US. Please include an email address in your response.
