My approach, from A - Z
Opportunities
Want to work together?
I’ll be straight up — these days I’m not looking to work with people just out to make a dollar and create vapid tech products. I’m looking for novel and impact-driven projects, which focus on solving real world problems.
Below are two lists. If you think you fit into the first and not the latter, we should talk.
Who you ARE
A company or individual with a genuine interest in solving real-world problems.
A Not For Profit, Social Enterprise (Certified B-Corp) or Private Enterprise doing something useful for people and the planet.
Someone with a compelling vision. I’m not interested in uninspiring projects.
An established business or funded. I’m not looking for equity in exchange for a discounted rate etc. Been there, done that. Doesn’t work for me.
Passionate, friendly, switched on and altruistic!
A risk taker who is not afraid to question convention and do things differently.
A company who understands remote work and flexible working hours.
Who you are NOT
A private corporation focused solely on profit and perpetuating mindless consumerism.
Someone trying to solve trivial first world problems. I'm not interested in wasting effort on bullshit.
A pre-revenue startup founder poser who talks like they’re an expert at local Startup meetups.
Someone who hires experts, only to lecture them about how to do their job. No thanks.
Someone who holds contractors ransom by pushing for out-of-scope features before a payment is released.
A slimy sellout just looking to IPO and bail. I want to work with people who are in it for the long run and believe in their vision.
A company who is willing to die on the hill of traditional workplace values, like in-person, 9-5-5 only. These rules prevent me from doing my best work. As I take pride in quality work, these two things are incompatible.
Areas I’m interested in
// A little dated, but much of the above is still relevant.
Well, that just about eliminates 99% of potential partners. If you’re still reading then perhaps you’re the 1% I’m looking to work with — the OTHER 1%, that is ;)
