Hello Kristina,
you are wrong:).
We are Romanians and we don't work with 7$/hour :).
We work from 0 USD/hour and up depends on the business type and we do
pro bono work too , a lot of pro bono work.
I work with partners from a lot of countries and the best one are the
partners from USA. Why ? Because they have great ideas and know how how
to make it alive.
This know-how transfer to companies and peoples which work in that
companies hlep us together to do better jobs.
We make profit together and all the times businesses was win-win, based
on respect for the other work.
Because I own and manage a 90 peoples multimedia shop here in
Transylvania land ( Dracula land too :) ) , i can say that I pay a lot
of money for software licences and other equipments sell by companies
from USA which make profit and which sell the software here at almost
30% higher prices sometimes than in US, so the profit goes to local
community where the company is registered etc.
I am sure that you know that internet help a lot the globalization and I
am sure that you know that ROmania is part or EU and EU is a strategic
partner for USA :).
Anyway, my wife just come back from a conference from Harvard and she
learn a lot from your countries and she will transfer the know how to
Romanians students in some ways and part of Romanian student emigrate in
USA and create there value for US country and life is beautiful and
short :).
have a great day !

Hope to heck they're using your Euros to pay engineers and not just
offering them BS "equity shares" which don't pay the bills!!!!!!!
Ooops let's see they're using the "reea.net team" who undoubtedly are
Indians working for $7 an hour...right?
NEXT!!

Hello,
we work with start-ups from different States from some years ago.
We invest our work for equity and small amount of money in 5 start-
ups.
One of the best experience we had with Toby Murdock and Mike Lewis.
They
are co-founders of www.qloud.com ( search for "MyMUSIC" plug-ins on
different social networking sites) was done by us ( they and REEA.net
team)for shares and small amount of money at the beginning.
They respect our low rate and they respect the equity that my new
media
shop had. They were good and find angel investors and VC's after a
lot
of work . Not easy, but we fight together for this ideas even that we
work at thousands miles distance.
From some months ago www.qloud.com is part of www.buzznet.com
We work for other start-up : www.cellit.com and related media
services
in special for radio station.
We work right now in other two. One of them found the big investor
and
after almost 10months of work and some equity we have the chance to
develop it the business for next 2-3 years.
We believe in the dreams of our business partners and we try to share
with them our experience and in almost all the situations we
understood
what we must do and how we can recover the investment.
From my point of view is more important to be pro-active and to try
to
help the other and to learn how we can do good businesses .
Of course that we don't invest money in something that don't have a
business plan and a minimum market research, but all the time I will
say : "I am interested and let's see if we can make profit and if is
possible a big ones." :)
I think that big ideas, need big dreamers too .
Good luck to every entrepreneurs !

I have a great big idea too, there are only 2 main competitors..
downfall is i do not have the ability to fund the project even
though
i would do all the programming myself there is server admin, front
end
designer / js guys etc.
The only way I could get this off the ground would be to use a
template (i refuse to) or get friends to join in the deal.
Trying to sell something to someone for 10% of ZERO is not going to
work.

I've got a pretty good idea that's been brewing in my head for
quite
a while. It's ambitious, audacious, and certainly a challenge, but
at
the same time, it's so audacious that it deserves nothing less
than a
real try.
I used to work in the media industry and came to the painful
realization that it's probably the only industry that does an
incredibly poor job of bringing in new people and new ideas. At
the
same time the media industry hasn't changed much even as
technology
has given it the potential to solve many of these issues. The end
result is more misses than hits, and promising original talent
being
burned out as they tire out from trying to get their lucky break.
I
think it's time to change that.
I've spoken to several tech and marketing execs who all agree that
this is an idea that is entirely feasible and self sustainable,
and
therefore worth trying at the very least. I've spoken with others
in
the industry, including other artists and creatives, who all tell
me
that they and everyone they know would jump at the chance to
partake
in that concept because something like this has been sorely
lacking
in the industry for nearly it's entire history. So in the end, it
could be at the very least a self sustainable and unique niche
site,
or be even more, and disrupt and shift the entire industry.
It's not a concept that can be deployed overnight, but whose
features
can be logically implemented over time to create an ever more full
featured product. The first iteration of the concept would be
simple
and could be up and running fairly fast(in fact a simple prototype
using open source resources was built and successfully tested).
However I need someone who will be able to take it beyond that,
and
keep it going as new pieces of the puzzle are being implemented
and
thought up.
I'm going to need a good LAMP developer who knows how to work with
UGC and a CMS, and wants to be part of building an idea that might
carry them for the long haul. I'm really looking for my long term
technical team/partner(s) to really make this idea and vision
happen.
So if you went through the trouble of reading all that and don't
think I'm a nut for daring to think big, shoot me an email with
your
qualifications and I'll let you know more of the details.
