This idea sounds good. I am interested. If you mean what you say I will come in. As a natural skeptic I do have a few questions…..

It’s called Agile project management. The idea is to use this, and modify it a little bit. If you go out on the web and learn about Scrum, you learn that there are 3 players: the Project Owner, the ScrumMaster, and the software development Team. What I am proposing is using a limited partnership structure to gather 100 limited (but not silent) partners. These collectively are the Project Owner. I am the ScrumMaster and I select the Team.

What % of the company do these 100 Silent Partners own?

As owners would we have the ability to select a new ScrumMaster if we feel you are not doing your job?

Product Owner likes it? OK. We define the next Sprint and the process repeats. If Product Owners do not like the results, they pull the plug and the game is over. I put rules in the LP agreement for structuring that plug-pulling process. (quorum)

You are to see results in 1 month and you can pull the plug (quorum based voting, per the LP document.)

When will I be able to see this document?

The money is well spent. I am a Certified ScrumMaster, a developer and a SEO expert with 22 years in software and project management-- and I need to be paid for my time. So yes this creates a job for Mr. Now.

[/ QUOTE ]

How much does Mr. Now get paid for his time?

How much of your own money will be in the LP?

Will you receive any additional equity for your role as ScrumMaster/Founder?

The lead developer (who will select the Team) is a hard-core alpha-geek who works for $80 per hour and is worth every penny. And then some. He will do the object-oriented architecture, code reviews, manage unit and integration testing, and do the daily build. He will also cut A LOT of code and manage the off-site (offshore) programming labor. Any site developed is in ASP.NET using C# as the code behind. The site must be hosted on hosting service providers that Mr. Now selects.

[/ QUOTE ]

Will the Lead developer receive any additional equity beyond the $80 per hour?

[ QUOTE ]
The LP structure requires “silent” partners and 1 general partner that makes decisions. I plan to use a lawyer to structure the LP such that we get around that creatively.

Details needed to make adequate analysis.
