Hello world. Just joined the party but looks like I'm way late. I'm retired or trying to be from my 30 year business farming clams, yes I said clams; more specifically the Geoduck clam. I started way back before it was a thing, if it is a thing. Now that I don't spend most of my day 60 feet under the Ocean I have time to consider my other endeavors like entrepreneurship. Basically I'm a concept engineer I turn ideas into action then into reality. I have a couple of patents, wrote a couple of books and have engineered many many things from bridges to structures to mechanical marvels. Okay so enough of the boasting and take it with a grain of salt because there's always a bit of flourish in an introduction.

On my table at the moment are a couple of projects, one or two small web/app business ideas that I've mapped out and began the coding and one ultra-massive web based business that is mapped and partially coded that will change the world.... OK maybe not the whole world but at least a segment of it. If you're not changing the world with you ideas you are probably focused in the wrong direction.

I need to delegate, I need partners in crime. I've beat these dogs alone long enough and have reached my skill and knowledge limit to where I could continue for years without completing any of these ideas because I lack the ability to say stop and publish when one more idea pops in my head and I redo what I've already done... I am sure this is a common demon all of you entrepreneurs fight with.

So If you're looking to join a fresh idea give me a shout and I'll share the concepts. As usual I suffer from the fear of oversharing an idea and losing it but I know I must move forward to achieve results.

Partners needed
Investors - always good to get.
Dev's - front, back, full-stack I need you.
Marketing - we aren't there yet but why wait.
Management - Always welcome to build teams.
Website - the kind of people that make the wow pop.

A little taste:

Idea 1: the big one
This one is all about cameras and the millions of people that have one, how each of them can have an opportunity to take photo's and market them without first establishing themselves as a known photographer or taking the long unprofitable path of self marketing.

Idea 2: a simple one
This one is so small and simple it's ridiculous that I have not completed it thus far but I just lack the backend dev skills and knowledge to do so. It's about food, goods and services that we all use daily and a means to connect with an app to our favorite places.

The big idea is the end goal but the simple idea is used here to find the right players that will move forward with me on the big one. Call it a test for those of you that choose to take the journey with me. Let's build the future together.

I'm Kurt I live in Alaska, please drop a hello.
