If you are an energetic individual (freelance developer), interested in joining a 'small start-up' team as a development partner, please continue.... If you are looking for a paid job or a placement company looking for business - this may not be for you, as our start-up is not funded yet. 

We are small IT start-up focused on developing product (cLc solution) for small and medium businesses in the public sector space, on as SAAS model. We have a clear vision and scope for a software solution/product for US government contracting companies to manage their entire contract life cycle and be compliant with government acquisition rules/regulations. It covers both business development and delivery cycles - specific to public sector and is more than a typical CRM+PMO kind of a solution. Our business idea is vetted with industry experts. We do have good functional/business requirements and a promising business model to build a product and service.

Currently, we are developing a prototype using Microsoft .Net technologies (ASP.net, C#, SQL Server2008, Telerik) and our prototype is almost ready. Considering the hosting issues, market trend towards cloud, we are keen on converting or re-engineering our product/prototype on FORCE.COM platform. I can share the details later, once we have a trusting relationship.

We are looking for a development partner, who is willing to take risk with us and helps us in developing/converting the application on Force.Com platform, as a OEM standalone product (not connected to their CRM). We are already approved as ISV partner in their network and established some relationship there. We are looking for small team of developers who are experts on Force.com platform (Apex, VisualForce, Flash, Eclipse, etc). Please note that our core team is not experienced on force.com platform. We are not looking for big company or resource providing company here, as we can’t afford them. It has to be small group of developers who would work with us, take risk and succeed together. We are open to little cost reimbursement now and revenue sharing to equity participation options and it depends on what you bring to the table.

There are certain key techno-functional requirements (Microsoft Project Gantt chart, Excle like nested Spreadsheets for pricing and financial analysis, SharePoint like document management functionality, Process/mind mapping functionality, contracts data tracking...) and you should be confident of developing those - which are considered to be complex by other developers, but are doable. We wish there are Telerik like (for .net platform) control providers on the force.com platform, which would have made our job easy. We have seen those being built by other ISV partners, which convinced us that these are possible to do on the platform.

If this meets your creativity zeal and want to become a founding member of a (potential) successful venture, please send me an email with some details on your experience .. We would like to hear from your and your interest to bid for this joint development effort.
