Who would be interested?...

...lots of different people. You could be on a sabbatical, extended holiday or just interested in working on varied projects while outside of work. Furthermore, you may just be interested in a project which you can call your own. In addition, the prospect of having a share of a company does provides the potential for an alternative revenue stream.

Listed below are examples of people who have already joined us as Venture Programmers:

A contractor with money in the bank

This person has been contracting for quite a few years and has managed to save up enough money to take time off from the rat race! They joined Venture Programmers in order to work on projects in return for an equity share. Why VP? They were planning to take time off anyway, so why not work on something which may realize an ongoing revenue stream?

A permie recently made redundant

Unfortunately, company restructures meant a core permanent role was recently been made redundant at a blue chip organisation. While taking time out to think about what next, this programmer has decided to lend his skills to a company in return for an equity share. The project is interesting, its a lovely summer - what a great opportunity to move up the career ladder!

A programmer with free time

... is a developer who only has a spare 15-20 hours. As opposed to working on open source projects in her spare time, she is interested in the prospect of working for an equity share in a company.

A programmer with Project Management Skills

This individual has recently qualified as a Prince2 Practitioner. While holding down a paid job he has joined Venture Programmers to gain work experience. Not only valuable for the future, but there could be a decent pay day when the company floats on the Stock Market.

Experts with a vested interest

Paid for developers typically have no interest in your business beyond the paid job. You get what you ask for, not necessarily what your business needs. A technical partner with a vested interest will take the time to ensure you get the best possible solution.
