On: Keeping and Recruiting Hackers as a Non-Hacker

[noodle]

i'm working on a medical-related startup myself ;)

I'm a medical doctor looking to join a healthcare startup. Not interested in residency right now; interested in rolling the dice. Shoot me back if interested.

Fun. I hope we are not competing. :)

Out of curiosity, are you working on implementing your own idea or did a non-tech person contribute the idea you are working on?

[noodle → LPTS]

non-tech person came to me with the idea and i accepted based on the idea, market feasibility, business model, and the work load.

for reference, i don't think we're working together. but i really hope we're not competing, its a fairly stagnant, old market and i don't want to have a new tough competitor :(

If you are competing, you could consider finding some way to merge and work together on it. On the other hand, maybe not. It's just something to consider just in case.

[LPTS → noodle]

There are certainly plenty of stagnant old markets in the medical industry.

and lots of opportunity for startups to grow and profit, is what i like to tell myself.
