It’s probably about time I formally announce my quest for a co-founder, and what better day than April 1st?

ripoki is a time management startup I’ve been working on for a while now and feel it’s time to get this baby off the ground.

For a co-founder I’m seeking someone with basically two traits.

First and foremost, I’m looking for a co-founder that shares my passion for socially-aware technology. I believe that technology should be used to facilitate real world, face to face interaction, and ripoki will set out to do just that. Online communication and collaboration between humans is a great achievement and useful to society, however we must remind ourselves that the best way to interact with someone is face to face.

Second, I want to differentiate ripoki by having it be the only service on the market able to automatically reschedule events based on the needs of new and updated events. My current thinking is an algorithm using doubly-schocastic matrices interrelated through hyper-dimensional row vector relationships, using GPU processors for vector operations needed to maintain and distribute changes to the matrices that provide us with the probabilistic states of given events for given users for given time-blocks. In order to do this, I am seeking someone with highly optimized programming skills who would be adept to creating high-speed implementations of such an algorithm.

The plan would to start this company in the South Bay area, probably initially in San Jose or Mountain View, so I’d prefer someone who lives locally. However, I’m open to someone working remotely and we can arrange for periodic face to face meetups.

If you think you or someone you know might be interested in being a co-founder (hint: second largest shareholder in company) of a new startup company, give me a call and let’s arrange an interview to get to know each other some more.

And hey, this could be a great opportunity to really make an impact on people’s lives by helping them spend less time managing their lives, and more time living them.
