Niall Smart looking for a co-founder

A friend and former colleague of mine, Niall Smart, is looking for a co-founder for his new startup, CloudSync.fm.

Niall has been short-listed for the next Y Combinator winter round. He’s flying to California this week to present, and if selected, will move there for three months in early 2009. Pretty cool!

Those of you who know anything about Y Combinator, their model, and some of their successes (including Irish startup auctomatic), will know that this is a big deal. It’s a great chance for somebody with the entrepreneurial and technical chops to get in on the ground floor.

To quote from Niall’s site, here’s what he’s looking for:

  • Are you technically adept? Our technology stack includes Ruby and AWS, but your track record is much more important than an exact skills portfolio.
  • Do you understand the importance of the User Experience? This is a niche product for discerning consumers, and UX is a critical success factor. You’re ready to play the game of inches.
  • Have you an entrepreneurial streak? The right person will be enthusiastic, motivated, innovative and strategic, and comfortable with a degree of risk and uncertainty. Essential traits – along with a sense of adventure and fun.

If you’re interested, you can contact Niall directly at niall@cloudsync.fm. Tell him that Steve sent you.
