Mobile/Front-End Developer Wanted

Hey HN,

This is an open letter to one kick-ass mobile/front-end developer out there that wants to work with a growing cleanweb startup for purely equity to help us build out our web, mobile and cross-platform native application.

I know, I know equity is paper and doesn't mean sh*t unless there is demand for it. Well we are starting to raise our seed round and raised a round already from and are about to graduate from the GreenStart Cleantech Accelerator Program in San Francisco that had a 3% acceptance rate.

Here is how the equity deal works: say our web/mobile/front-end development would normally cost us $10k. We give you 2x that or $20k worth of stock (50% upfront, 50% upon completion with the option to buy it back within 30 days in cash) and then when we raise our seed round it will be valued another 2x at $40k. That is a 4x return within a few months in a young startup that is at the beginning of its growth curve. After Series A 12 months out that original $10k that be worth 40x or $400k. If we are so lucky to grow like a weed and raise a B then that could be worth 400x and you are a multi millionaire. You are basically taking the same risk as YC or any VC. If you did this 5-10 times (as I am sure you know) you would come out on top, both with experience and valuable stock.

So what do we do? WA.TT is a fun, simple and social consumer application that helps people save money on their energy and go green. Think of it as a mashup of Zynga & Mint for energy. Our demographic spends $800b on energy and related products every year, that is a big market and it is rapidly changing as we move towards a resource constrained and warming world. We are building the social energy platform that manages all of a consumers energy data, gives personalized recommendations on how to save up to 20% on their energy and manages consumers home appliances as they get "smarter". We make it fun by adding in a game and social layer on top of our energy analytics and

We have a kick-ass team of a back-end developer, business hustler and designer. You are the missing link that can add the spark to take us into orbit.

The magic of our technology is that after a 60-second signup, consumers can see all of their energy in one simple location. We track it over time automatically providing a tight feedback loop.
