We call it project powder. It'll be an extremely user friendly site, implementing some new features blah blah... we are not re-inventing the wheel, we are making things BETTER, easier, more fun.<br><br>The three of us LOVE to snowboard. We love technology and yes of course we love MONEY as well.<br><br>One of my partners A. has a background and experience in demonstrating ability to sell into digital media, social networks, online video, web2.0, publishing and ad-network industries. Ability to 'hunt' for potential companies in key markets to penetrate, develop strategic sales relationships and drive revenue. His specialties: Understanding of content delivery networks, cdn competitors, features, peering, hosting, storage services, ISPs, and telecommunication technologies.<br><br>The other one L. is a senior engineer, his responsibilities include: sales engineering / customer contact, software development, server administration, architecture design. Buzzwords: Java, Spring, HTML/CSS, Javascript/AJAX, Python, Linux.<br><br>[ps I copied that of their linkedIn profiles hehe]<br><br>And then there is me, I love to snowboard, I am great with people, make/ maintain/ grow great contacts and connects and have the occasional great idea.<br><br>Our team is fun! We bounce of each other's ideas and we all have our own qualities that make us valuable for the team. We all have our other jobs. Of course we want to make money, we all want that, but really we are working the project because our passion for snowboarding and the fact that the snowboard websites didn't really work well for us. We want to improve the user experience, create something awesome and learn [from each other] along the way. <br><br>I guess all I wanted to say Eiso, and I know that you know this as well.... if your main reason for being part of a start up is money... well, you might end up being disappointed. Chose the people you want to start a project with wisely, have FUN, learn and laugh! <br><br><br>amen<br><br>:)<br><br>Mascha<br><br>ps: love your blog!xadnessSat, 19 Jul 2008 09:38:06 -0000
