"The work is out there." That's the message to Baltimore's hackers from Mike Subelsky, a well-known Baltimore-based "startup person," blogger and co-founder of Other Inbox.
Regional entrepreneurs with ideas for software projects, principally web applications, approach Subelsky in their quest to find someone to make their ideas a reality.
In the past month he's been approached about a niche, massively multiplayer game, a workflow management system for the entertainment industry, a web news site CMS and iPhone games. With no clear idea of whom he should refer these entrepreneurs to, Subelsky passes info for budgeted projects on to friends and long-time supporters.
However, those who can't afford or aren't ready for the full treatment remain. The projects are more typically prototypes better suited for a freelancer or moonlighter, according to Subelsky.
That's why he's asking developers, without an aversion to risk, interested in these types of projects to comment on his blog (http://www.subelsky.com/2009/07/startup-opportunities-for-programmers.html) or email him at [email protected].
