software developer wanted for startup

[Harry Plantinga]

Here is a request from a Calvin alumnus for a software developer for a startup project.

———————
My name is Emmanuel Legbeti (Calvin Engineering, Class 2004). I am currently an Associate Partner at a strategy consulting firm in Chicago, but have decided to build a business around a passion of mine, which is where I need your help.
Reason for my reach-out:
I am working on building a business around a technology platform that leverages algorithms and machine learning to accelerate an easier way for young professionals to discover their career purpose via curated content exploration, scenario iteration, and connecting on-demand with auto-matched networks. In essence we are seeking to use this technology to democratize hard to access tribal knowledge on career pathing within our isolated / traditional core networks, and to amplify this knowledge of possibilities to a broader global audience. We believe that our solution will save both money, time and will mitigate poor decisions for our users, while also accomplishing a much larger mission of changing the world for the better -- sharing knowledge with those who don't have access or who are less fortunate, while opening career doors to many for whom they are closed or unapparent.
My Ask for you:
Do you know any talented Calvin front-end / full-stack software developers (recent alum and/or current senior students) who would be interested in partnering with me in this endeavor? I have received expressed venture capital and angel investor interest, but I need to build a technical team to execute my "MVP" in an agile, accelerated fashion, testing my user hypotheses in the market while iterating the code in parallel. I have one software engineer already onboard, but need more tech bandwidth.
I am curious to know if my vision and passion is something you or someone you know shares and/or something you want to learn more about.
If interested, reach out to me at legbeti at gmail.com<mailto:legbeti at gmail.com> or 248-921
