Hi. I'm looking to start a crowdsource lending business based on Bitcoin, similar to Lendingclub.com or btcjam.com. I have some ideas on how to compete and make the service better, but need others to help get it started.

Specifically, I am looking for a BTC software developer(s) who can help me code the site, and is willing to work with me. I have an extensive financial background, including experience with lending and loan risk evaluation, business development, management, and entrepreneurship, but too little experience writing software (it has been at least 7 years, and I am not willing to risk banging out sloppy code for a financial business). I am willing to provide the funding to get this thing off the ground, and would be working in the finance and business development capacity. I'm obviously also willing to take a fair proportion of profits. I.e. I am not looking for a programmer to do all the work while I just "manage" over his shoulder, then take all the profits. I am looking for a business partner with whom to share profits (or if need be, an employee, though I won't be able to pay any decent salary at first). I have some ideas for how to make this business work right now, despite bitcoin's deflationary growth, as well as how to make it more competitive than btcjam.com, and with less liability for the business.

If you wish to see my resume/qualifications, or get more details on the business idea, please PM me.

Thanks.
