Last fall, I invested in a blockchain startup. Now, I have a goal of creating a paid position in the company within a few months. There looks to be some very big investment just around the corner, and they are launching an extremely exciting product within a couple of months. I do not have any concrete skills that are directly relevant and that can be easily monetized in the company - yet. Therefore, my intention is to learn by showing up. Basically being at the office pretty much every day and absorb. I have money for spending for a few months to come, so I can afford to be there without getting paid for a little while. Plus, of course, my equity may do a job giving me an "income" as well. So, wealth will most likely increase anyway, but I of course need some income to pay bills etc. While showing up is usually a great way to learn stuff in general (and I have good experience of this), I think I may need a strategy for exactly how I should be showing up in this context. Does anybody here have experience immersing yourself in a new business? What is my best strategy here, be as curious as I can? Ask questions as often as possible? Help brew coffee as often as possible? Be as critical (constructively, of course) as possible? Etc etc Advice would be much appreciated

Hello! I hope you are all well. I am interested in having conversations with people to find out what their core skills are, and if they have any ideas for business opportunities. I would like to introduce myself, share a few of my own ideas, and what my plans are. I would also like to determine what you are capable of, how you feel about starting a business or being involved in one, and If you have any ideas that you would like to pursue, how I may help in your pursuits. In summary I have four goals: 1) to have a network of people who I can call upon based on their skills. 2) to determine if I may be of assistance to individuals who already do have a set plan. 3) to share and refine business ideas/opportunities that may lead to a business. 4) Get to know people that I may work with. I would like to have this conversation on a 1 on 1 basis over Skype or Google chat, and below I will give more information about myself for you to determine if you do wish to have a conversation. I have publicly available information about who I am and what I do, so please check out my LinkedIn profile, and my CV. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/volkan-tas/71/370/798 CV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkm2b2gnnpve069/CV4.pdf?dl=0 I have prototyped digital hardware, firmware, PC software, and web applications. At this point I have the confidence in myself to learn what I need to know to fulfill all functional requirements for a project. I am comfortable/capable investing the next year of my life to focus towards a business, which unifies a technical solution, and has the potential for financial return. Right now my immediate needs are: 1) A business mentor 2) People who have the capacity to start a business outside of the USA 3) People with a strong physics background 4) Mechanical Engineers 5) Individuals who are artistically inclined. I would still like to hear from you even if your skills are not on this list! If you are interested please private message me your Skype ID or your email to Google chat with. I will add you on Skype/g chat, and we will determine a schedule to have our conversation. Then we will simply talk and exchange of our ideas/thoughts. If you require more information please let me know here. I will do my best to answer it. If we can generate something valuable, great! Otherwise we will at least have given each other something to think about. If you are reading this even a year after its post date, and are interested, still PM me!

Hello, I recently started a cryptography company. We can't talk about the details right now, but we are looking for a very talented and versatile artist who can draw everything from icons to logos to mascots. The job will require someone who has a very unique and distinct art style. We want all of our logos to be timeless, not trendy. This isn't a one time gig, but rather a very long term job (5+ years). All skill levels welcome. Payment to be discussed individually. --- Mail: [email protected]
