			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a website that needs help getting to the next level. The site has been producing revenue, although it is not yet profitable. I need a Technical Co-founder to help with this push.  My site, Liv, is a place to collect and organize your favorite products from all over the Internet into one spot. Think Amazon wishlist that is social and not 10 years old.</p>
<p>We have over 10,000 retail stores and 18,000,000+ products in our database.  We also have partners interested in working with us and utilizing our simple but effective platform.</p>
<p>The site is built in PHP and I am using the Jquery library on the front-end. Once a person finds something they want to save or share while shopping online, they click our browser Bookmark and we scrape the information and pull it into Liv in one very simple, effective method displaying the image and information to the user.</p>
<p>One of the biggest challenges is just getting new product features live to the site. Currently we get 50 &#8211; 100 daily visitors, all of which is organic traffic. One user even added 60 items to her Liv page in one day. These are passionate users who have given great feedback and suggestions.  I need help executing on building out and improving the site.</p>
<p><strong>Why I&#8217;m a Good Co-founder For You:</strong><br />
I&#8217;m a business guy. I need a tech guy. But I&#8217;m not just a bum business guy. I have gone back and learned how to code HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I&#8217;m still not very good, but I got to the point where I wrote all of the front-end code. I will work hard to deliver as a business cofounder, while also learning the tech side.</p>
<p>I hustle. Hard. I went out and talked to hundreds of people to get our partnerships in place, I know the industry problems inside and out, and I have good connections with the businesses we work with. Further, I have managed contractors and had a team in house. I raised money to finance the building of the site. I have investors interested for further investment once we hit higher user growth and revenue targets&#8230;access to more money.</p>
<p><strong>What I&#8217;m Looking For:</strong><br />
- Javascript and PHP fluent<br />
- Experience with Consumer Products<br />
- Ability to prototype fast with a sense of urgency<br />
- Location: San Francisco Bay Area preferred, but other locations are ok</p>
<p><em>I have a bias towards a local developer. Working in the same room is very important to me.</em></p>
<p><strong>Why Is This a Great Opportunity?:</strong><br />
I am offering equity in the company (terms to be discussed) &#8211; The site is built, operational, growing user base, and producing revenue &#8211; A chance to take a project and help mold it into a success &#8211; Proven to obtain funding and if necessary will secure more funding</p>
<p><strong>Interested in Talking More?</strong><br />
Contact me at <strong>RyanBennett [at] theliv [dot] com</strong> and let&#8217;s get the dialogue started</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a complete job description visit/click: <a href="http://www.theliv.com/lookandfeel/Liv_Job_Description_for_Design.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>Complete Job Description</strong></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Position:</strong></em><br />
Liv is looking for an artist – someone who brings passion, desire, and energy to a thriving startup environment that fosters creativity and opportunities for innovation. We are looking for an essential member of a team who wants to design the Liv website that millions of people will use and love.</p>
<p><em><strong>Liv:</strong></em><br />
Liv is a web-based start-up company that provides online shoppers with the social experience they have been missing. At it’s core, Liv allows you to collect and organize all your favorite products from all over the Internet to your wish list to compare, share, and store for later. But this alone does not distinguish Liv from other social shopping websites. By leveraging users’ existing friend lists and profiles from sites such as facebook, Liv lets you instantly recommend and share products with the people you care about. Our simplistic and efficient interface makes for a seamless transition from the solitary experience of online shoppers today to a social experience that more closely resembles in-store shopping.</p>
<p><em><strong>How we’re different:</strong></em><br />
Unlike the majority of tech companies located in Silicon Valley, Liv’s success will not be based on acquiring early technology adapters as our primary users. We recognize that mainstream internet users, such as women in their 20s and 30s, are a rich growing market that has a huge need for this product.  Advertisers and retailers also want to target this audience because of their discretionary income and desire to shop, but reaching these individuals through the internet can be challenging as they have a lower tech knowledge than early adapters of web-based applications. At Liv, we embrace this challenge because we believe that websites can be simple enough for everyone to use them while still providing a valuable product for a large market.</p>
<p><em><strong>Current State:</strong></em><br />
Liv is fully developed and is currently cleaning up the look and feel of the website.  We are in a private Beta working out of Palo Alto, California.</p>
<p><em><strong>Requirements:</strong></em><br />
Experienced and knowledgeable in: Graphic Design, Photoshop, Javascript, Design/UX knowledge, CSS, and HTML.</p>
