Web dev wanted
This is one of the more promising startups that will be joining my company this summer in Philadelphia. They are looking for a developer for at least the summer. You get paid the same as the rest of us ($5k) and an equity share. Based on their research (they are both professors), the co-founders believe they have discovered a much more effective way for people to learn English as a second language, and they are looking to hire a developer to build out the software with them. I think it’s a got a chance to be big. If you want more details before applying, I’m dave@waffl.com. Please reblog if you are in the tech community, thanks :)
