I have a problem. Not enough time and money, lol.
I have an idea for a great product I want to do. A big software project (which I'll be doing in my spare time) and a small but critical hardware component. The software and hardware both have to be done for this product to be successful. I could:
1. Try to get Angel financing and then pay some hardware guy to do it for me.
2. Do the hardware myself along with the software. I used to work with 8051 chips, USARTs, crypto chips, pals, EEPROMS, etc. but it was a really long time ago and I don't remember much about it and I didn't do the hardware design, just tweeked it a bit. I think I could do the hardware portion of the project but it would take me 6 months where a competent hardware guy could do it in a couple of weeks or a month in his spare time.
3. Find a hobbyist hardware guy in the Washington DC area that would work with me on this project. I'm not paying anything but will offer a share of the profits if the project is successful.
I'm not paranoid (well, maybe a little) but I don't want to give out details of the project until we meet. I'll buy dinner and we can discuss it.
You could be instrumental in creating a great product and make a few bucks (or a bunch of bucks). Interested?
