Hi Everyone

Im hoping I can find some people here, or perhaps can be pointed in the right direction for what Im looking for.

Myself, I'm an entrepreneur from Ireland, 28 years old, have been quite successful over the last ten years, with companies in a variety of industries. Currently I'm developing some real estate amongst some other things

Ive decent enough knowledge of technology but without the expertise to write anything.

The reason I'm posting is because I have various ideas and companies that I want to setup, as I believe there are certain areas that can be profitable in economic times like these. Most of these ideas at the moment are web based however and really need an expert opinion as well as directors in the companies who can create software to work with the concepts and really look after the technical side of the operation.

Im not looking for employees, Im looking for people that I would make shareholders and directors of the companies and who would be dedicated to making it work for there own and the other directors sake. But obviously the kinds of people Im looking for would need to be seriously good at what they do.

The kinds of ideas I'm looking at can potentially turnover 100's of millions of dollars with the right minds and team behind them.

So Id be very interested to here from anyone who thinks they have the expertise or can put me in touch with the right place.

Thanks

Have you ever tried Guinness?

It's a tasty beverage!

I'm seriously good at what I do, but the higher ups consistently tell me that I'm not. Does that still count? Cause I could use some shares in a company that's turning over 100's of millions of dollars.

Code: [Select]

[Today at 05:28:54 AM] GDE: you might be able to help me by the way 

[Today at 05:29:09 AM] GDE: im looking to setup a new company which needs a complex interface designed 

[Today at 05:29:24 AM] GDE: i want to recruit some serious computer guys for a share in the company 

[Today at 05:29:37 AM] GDE: im just wondering where to find these kinds of guys 

[Today at 05:29:47 AM] 12AX7: not here 

[Today at 05:29:57 AM] GDE: whys that? 

[Today at 05:30:03 AM] 12AX7: you can post about it, but I wouldnt expect much 

[Today at 05:30:15 AM] GDE: any recommendations where to post? 

[Today at 05:30:55 AM] 12AX7: Make a first post in the New Geeks section at least... you can make that post soley an intro; or whatever you want. 

[Today at 05:31:13 AM] 12AX7: They all appreciate that 

[Today at 05:31:40 AM] GDE: ok will do 

[Today at 05:31:47 AM] 12AX7: This is more like someone's house and we all hang out here than a real "technology" forum 

[Today at 05:32:35 AM] GDE: yeah this is the kind of place im looking for because I was thinking there would be some serious minds about 

[Today at 05:32:38 AM] 12AX7: the new geek forum is kind of like the coat room and introducing yourself; rather than strutting into the kitchen, etc.. 

[Today at 05:32:57 AM] GDE: yeah a bit of etiquette 

[Today at 05:33:03 AM] 12AX7: there ya go 

[Today at 05:33:35 AM] GDE: thanks for the heads up 

[Today at 05:34:00 AM] 12AX7: no problem

Translation:

GDE: Dude, I came here to pitch something.
12AX: Good luck with that. Make an intro post first, before you pitch.
GDE: Oh, I get it. Etiquette.
12AX: Yes.
GDE: I know! I'll use my pitch as my intro!
12AX: *facepalm* I tried.

That reminds me of a Herman cartoon from the last century where Herman walks up to a bank teller window and says "I want to open a joint account with someone who has pleny of dough."

GOOD PLAN!!!

Ok, I gotta go take a shower and start the commute so I can get to my job where I turn over dozens of dollars.

Min · « **Reply #7 on:** March 02, 2009, 09:52:29 AM »

LOL. I don't have to turn over dozens of dollars today cause I have a snow day!!

Dude PM'd me about my area of expertise. I doubt he needs a high school math teacher in his multi million dollar enterprise.

Get rich? AND quick?

ivan · « **Reply #9 on:** March 02, 2009, 11:00:50 AM »

If his ideas are wide at the bottom and pointy at the top, expertise is not what's needed anyway.

If you need somebody to sit around an office, drink Dr Pepper and look at porn, I'm your man.

They make them that young over there, still?

If you're anywhere near Galway, get offa my lawn. Or give me 100's of millions. Does Brian Cowen know about this plan? It could save the banks, and even Ryanair.

Don't forget mail merging on your resume to him. If the web based business has anything to do with that you may be in.

Min · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2009, 06:25:00 PM »

I forgot that I'm an absolute BEAST at mail merging. Thanks for reminding me of my skills. I don't use that particular skill much anymore. But it'll probably come back...just like riding a bike, right?

You could always use MS Paint to design his marketing.

Min · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:34:10 AM »

It's a good cost cutter right there. Multi million dollar companies make money because they are thrifty and doing an entire site in MS Paint definitely helps with that.

Min · « **Reply #18 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:34:21 AM »

I hope he's writing this all down.

Probie · « **Reply #19 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:38:37 AM »

does mail merging even exist anymore? I thought it was in the past like cheques and floppy disks?

I invited this thing call the wheel! Do you think he could use that?

Min · « **Reply #20 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:40:17 AM »

Well, I haven't worked in an office in a few years now so I don't know if there are new things. What is the new way to make labels from data in a spreadsheet?

Probie · « **Reply #21 on:** March 03, 2009, 10:48:13 AM »

I cant speak as an authority on the matter to be honest, the last time i did one was about seven years ago i think.

I only use Excel to balance my accounts and chart my company's "biggest loser" competition ...

Socrates · « **Reply #22 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:55:21 PM »

I can assure you that mail merging is alive and well

Joe Sixpack · « **Reply #23 on:** March 03, 2009, 03:12:15 PM »

That's when you put multiple cards in the same envelope, right?

BE KIND TO YOUR WEB-FOOTED FRIENDS,
FOR A DUCK COULD BE SOMEBODIES MOOOOOOTHER!
