Software architect co-op
Software architect co-op
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
Our idea is for a software developement co-op. Programmers are hired and paid hourly for their work. Programmers work in their home with flexible hours, making family a first priority. The company would provide initial start-up hardware and software for communication and to check in code remotely to a single server. With no office space to maintain and no "owner" taking a cut, a higher percentage of the hourly rate goes right into the hands of the programmer. Unlike being self-employeed, the programmer has access to group health insurance and other benefits, plus is backed by the company name.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
We would incorporate as an S-corp, hire initial employees and get them started in their homes. We already have work available! We would also just be hourly paid employees of the company, not "owners" taking a cut. Eventually we would hire more employees and branch out to other cities.
Vote for it now.
How is this different (to the client) from services like elance or guru.
