Looking for an entrepreneurial partner for web startup...?
I know there are ten cynics for every one person who thinks they have a genuinely novel e-business venture idea, but I am eager to develop what I believe is a highly marketable and original online project. The problem is that, although I have a clear picture of how I want the site and company to operate, I am an academic (psychology professor) without any practical experience in the online business community. That is to say, I know next to nothing about what it takes to develop a new e-business, marketing, advertising, financing, and so on. I need an energetic and experienced collaborator on this project (one whom I could trust, obviously) who is interested in putting his or her head together with me to make this really work. I've thought about approaching colleagues who have some web expertise, but I really need an expert on the business end of things, and none of these people qualify. Where in the world would I look to find such an energetic and experienced person?

- You can pay someone a couple grand to build a professional web page. As far as marketing/finance go, don't underestimate yourself. Sure you'll want a professional accountant to do your taxes, but you can probably use a generic accounting software for day to day order tracking and other mundane tasks. If you're smart enough to be a professor you're smart enough to figure out the rest. Good luck.
- You probably could find such a person in the Business school at your unmentioned university, in your own backyard! .
- okay did you ever considered outsourcing the business? you can have great partners from talents abroad plus you get to minimize cost, try reading this squidoo lens
- It is clear your are a literate, thoughtful person, but it is against the Yahoo rules to solicit contact . . . often if you click on the personal profile with a good answer, you will find an email link that will put you in direct contact. That way you can choose them instead of them preying on you. I checked your profile answers and found that your interesting responses have been consistent with the question you've asked here. I hope this is of help to you.
