Co-Founder candidate

My secret ambition?

\

 
 





In an information economy, everything is different:

Smart people don't even want the pay, we want the equity, baby!

Visionary yet persistent and highly responsible pioneering Entrepreneurs
desperately needed:
Technicians, programmers, webdesigners, MBAs, CFOs, lawyers and paralegals, Activists, lobbyists, promoters, publicists, patent expertise, what-have-you! just to name a few, and others, anywhere in the world with an Internet connection, to form as yet unCapitalized new business start-up from scratch. No salary, expenses or commissions, heavy responsibility, long odds, no resources, grueling hardship, and the derived satisfaction, personal growth, learning, invaluable work experience, and challenging creativity of participation in a unique and intensely interesting cutting edge high tech inception stage venture. 

High chances of endless delay, fiscal disaster, calamitous failure and utter collective humiliation. Obscene profits, blue chip equity, acclaim, accomplishment, self realization, true love, and all from saving the world, should we succeed. Ideas a plus. Strategic Partners welcome. Promotional Exchange valued.

 

WARNING: Not a paying job, just an adventure!

 
 
 
 
Thank you for interviewing me!  

Indeed, you have the right and the obligation to make absolutely certain that you can afford the sacrifice, no matter what the appeal or hope, and regardless of how badly we need qualified and motivated personnel.

Hence, this is actually the first round of your interview of me, due diligence to at all seriously consider my application to work with you. Indeed, by all means, if desired, to reassure yourself that I really am standing by for your application/ inquiry, then by all means, establish contact first, before making substantive response or even undertaking due diligence. But, in that case, please so state, explicitly, to avoid confusion.

The purpose of this disillusioning application questionnaire is as much as anything also for you to ask yourself some tough questions, as anything else.

Any serious inquiry is entitled to the most pertinent replies we can offer to any germane questions. Indeed, this is crucial. There is no shame, and no one will think the less of anyone who, upon responsible and cautious review of the venture participation and it's hardships, then backs out before making any commitment.

That this can be a part time position only means that you may well find yourself committed to slaving away at this on top of whatever paying job and/or studies that you cannot afford to give up. A creative leadership niche, simply by virtue of the work load and the initiative that will be called for, and the reciprocal support required internally for any chance of success.

Enjoy this website and all the content and interaction freely available herein!

To quote T George Harris, "It's the miner's headlamp, not the eureka flash, that drives reliable innovation. The process of innovation is the sweaty work of digging through tons of information to find a few golden nuggets -- mainly unlikely knowledge combinations."


To be taken seriously (otherwise not!), the first thing that you are now expected to do in order to begin the application process, to accompany your resume etc., is to  to study this interesting website:
FoolQuest. com thoroughly enough in order to sell yourself on whatever you can offer and what you can do, and how do you see yourself participating in a new venture from scratch, your own pursuit of happiness, mutual accountability, and what aspect of your responsibilities might ever actually appeal to you, given the considerable immediate term personal sacrifice which will as certainty and of necessity be both inevitable and indispensable.

By all means, make a complaint about whatever for you seems missing. If you only tell me what you are after, I will strive to be of help, best as I can. But whatever isn't here, I can promise you that being cagy won't draw it forth.

Then, if it is determined that you have given the matter any sort of considered opinion, and thus piqued my interest, then will commence an intensive interview by email. If you continue to hold up your end of the conversation (a must!), you may even find yourself persuaded to accept the dubious privilege of taking your place in the formation of Management Team to become an unpaid but equity vested Co-Founder, should you remain interested and if you still so choose.

No autoresponder. Your email is so very important to me, and will be answered promptly and seriously by a live human being, yours truly. Thus SPAM-like and irrelevant impersonal form cover letters will simply disqualify your application. Believe it ! And please tell where you first saw this text posted or linked. Or else that'll be a dead give away that you haven't even actually read this through.

To respond to this opportunity, fill out this form, provided.

Work in harmony with one's nature may renew hope for success. But to work against one's nature will all too often only work against you.

Things you might not want to hear!

For your own sake never mind anyone else's and just to spare needless aggravation all around, neither ignore, stonewall nor seek to evade any of the following questions, dealing as they do with crucial foreseeable problems and central concerns.

Never think even by half-assed misrepresentation via omission to inveigle others in to the hurtful futility of working at cross-purposes needlessly and fruitlessly, but rather, far better, let us all confront whatever obstacles squarely together and search diligently, exhaustively and wholeheartedly for any viable solutions as well as any genuine common ground.

And if, gentle reader, you ever come to find anything you confront here on this page stringent or burdensome, then do not fail to consider that this questionnaire deals primarily with the minimum needs, commitments and consideration of organization and planning during the most embryonic "kitchen table" phase or stage of new venture development, which most How-to advice into The Start Up Process commonly tends somewhat to gloss over, instead plunging headlong into the far more demanding process that follows, delving into such burning issues as when and at what juncture the partners must each and all finally quit their jobs and entirely commit themselves full time and resolutely risk all!

By comparison, all that is treated here is the proverbial cake walk and not any grinding "Start-up Boot Camp!"

Information, expectations, values & code of conduct:
 

As identified by Daniel Goleman ('Emotional Intelligence' 1995), the five domains of emotional  intelligence or EQ, of understanding oneself, one's goals, intentions, responses, behavior and all, as well as also understanding others and their feelings, are as follows:

  1. Knowing ones emotions.
  2. Managing ones own emotions.
  3. Motivating oneself.
  4. Recognizing and understanding other's emotions.
  5. Managing relationships, i.e., managing other's emotions.
So, do you value just such self knowledge?
                <New Age bullshit Key to life>

 
 
And do you embrace responsibility for best constructive application of the above?
                 <In a pig's eye! with every fiber of my being>

 
Are you curious about others and how they feel?
                  <yawn, fuck'm all constant fascination>

 
And do you embrace responsibility for best constructive application of the above?
                  <In a pig's eye! with every fiber of my being>

 

EQ has been widely applied to improve corporate performance and sales, but not so much to Entrepreneurship and particularly not to the most crucial and neglected "kitchen table" or first concept stage or phase.

This questionnaire proceeds on the hypothesis that in the true liberty of maverick ambition, in the social world at large free of established structures of hierarchical dominance, the crux of success or failure in collaboration will tend to be interpersonal dyadic reciprocity rendering the responsibilities of Emotional Intelligence all the more crucial because there will be nothing whatsoever else left to fall back upon.

 
 
 
Behavioral willingness:
Can you keep your ego in check?   
 
- Admit crucial fallibility, inadequacy and ignorance?   
 
Disagree openly?   
 
Confront behavioral problems directly?
   
 
Prioritize collective success over personal?
   
 
Shine individually     even while placing priority upon supporting others in order to help make others look good?    
 
Do you have the right stuff for affinity collaboration?
   
Are you a strong reciprocator?
   
Do you reward reciprocity in kind?
Of course, it's only right and prudent!    
That's for suckers!    
Are you wiling to actually penalize and discourage non-reciprocity?
It may well be crucial to deter detrimentally exploitative
conduct, in order to preserve a group effort.    
Why should I ever concern or lower myself
to such vulgar tit-for-tat?
