Probably mostly not my audience here, but I'm currently looking for a business-side/CEO cofounder for an encrypted radio startup. There are solid funding options, but while I can build the team to make the product happen, I'm not the person to navigate the money side of things. I'm looking for a cofounder with previous startup CEO experience and executive-level experience (although not necessarily CEO) in a hardware startup specifically. EU citizen and resident, although it'll be a remote team, so where is less important.
@dymaxion that's a wonderful idea. Maybe you can team up with Sher.fm, they are part of Dat ecosystem, team is based in Argentina and they have built this encrypted, p2p radio in the browser. They are sadly underfunded, so joining forces would be great ☀️
@dymaxion As a person in the market for such devices, I'm very excited you're doing this. Please holler whenever you want some usability feedback or testers.
@dymaxion oh that sounds interesting. I don't suppose you'll be looking for a firmware engineer as well?
@jadedtech
Eventually, but that'll be a while
@dymaxion
Be *extremely* careful. Many people's idea of "navigating the money side of things" is abusive, extractive, and destructive of the actual mission one is trying to accomplish. By asking for a corporate business type, you may accidentally summon a monster you can't control.
@dymaxion if EU citizen is a hard requirement then no, but a friend of mine is just finishing up a role as a startup CEO and I know ethics and integrity have been very important to her in her work. Give me a shout if you want her contact details
@flexasync
EU resident definitely is, but citizen might be flexible
@dymaxion hm. US citizen, UK resident, so not impossible but that might be challenging - I'll ask her if she's interested, if she is she can work out some of the practicalities and get in touch.
