We should probably re-calc those betas and update the capital structures before handing the final ATWACC to the client. Also, while an interest rate adder is non-standard for the CAPM, the yield curve is just too low to be believed by any regulatory commission.

It’s a non-trivial refactoring of dev which has the potential to spiderweb, which would then delay our push to staging. It might be better to just add simple affordances instead through a JQuery plugin.

The client is an interop providing level 3 access for click-to-call functionality. We should socialize this with X’s group to see if we might encounter any push back.

I’ve now worked at 3 different companies since college, each with it’s own language.  Each time I change jobs, I’m amazed by the disparate vernacular employed by each.

Looking for a Co-Founder

As many of you know, one of my more prominent side projects of late has been HapiMoney, a financial planning site aimed at young professionals. For the last few months, I’ve been developing the site, mostly on my own, on nights and weekends whenever I can find free time. Development has been slow considering I’ve had to teach myself html, css, and php – and now, I’ve reached the limits of what I can reasonably do by myself.

For this reason, I’m looking to scale, and I’m looking for, well, for lack of better words, a “rockstar”. While the term “rockstar” has been incredibly overused over the last few years, it really describes who I want – someone so disgustingly good that it makes you want to be their groupie.

Who (or what) you should be

  • Someone with demonstrable code – a site or side project that you’ve developed.
  • An affinity for design – you’ll notice that HapiMoney isn’t great, and it needs to be improved!
  • Expertise with html, css, mysql, and php for now. Ruby or Django would be a huge plus.
  • Someone who takes pride in clean code and fast prototyping.
  • You should have a brokerage account, and know the basics of personal finance.
  • You should be genuinely interested in personal finance!

Time requirements are very flexible. This is not a full time gig (yet) so if you are looking to just get your feet wet, this might be perfect for you. We all know that selecting a co-founder is a delicate process, so let’s get together over a beer and talk.

If you are interested please email me at alex@hapimoney.com or find me on twitter @alexanderking.

If you know someone who might be interested, please forward this on!
