Seed Equity - San Francisco
International startups struggle to raise funding and grow because they lack access to venture capital. Seed Equity is on a mission to help these startups get off the ground by providing them the power of equity crowdfunding. We believe the best entrepreneurs in the world should be funded no matter where they are, and due to recent legislation and new technology, this vision is becoming a reality. Help us empower the startups outside of Silicon Valley.
Tech Stack - The same tech stack used by StackOverflow: C#, ASP.NET MVC4, AngularJS, SQL Server. Feels like Rails, but scales like crazy. (Amazing fact: the entire StackExchange network runs on 12 web servers, 2 database servers, 2 caching servers, and 2 load-balancing servers. See: <a href="http://bit.ly/vihD5R." >)
Challenges - Highly scalable web services. A secure storage system for sensitive financial data that rests on top of cloud storage services.
Team - 2 engineers in SF, 3 business operators in Salt Lake City. The business executive team founded and ran InterbankFX, which had customers in over 100 countries and was one of the top 5 forex firms in the US before it was acquired a few years ago. We're fully funded due to that acquisition.
Benefits - $90k - $105k, 0.3% - 0.5% equity, health/dental/vision insurance, 401k
