Hi,
I'm an entrepreneur that is relocating to the Austin area (business partners are already there). We are about to undertake what we think is a very cool new project that has a lot of potential. It needs to be highly scalable (hence scala), developed quickly and maintained by a small team (hence scala), and interface beautifully with a nice mobile app (maybe something like appgyver + scala.js would be helpful here).
As a bonus, we also would be utilizing some cutting edge things like cryptocurrency (eg bitcoin, etc) as a payment method for our members, along with recent advances in the mathematics of automated market makers for prediction markets. That's a mouthful I know.
Anyway, it would be good to have an opportunity to meet any accomplished scala people in the Austin area that may be interested in such a project. We are seed funded and ready to innovate :-)
Please reply directly to me if you're interested.
P.S. I'll be in Austin next weekend and would enjoy meeting any scala + crypto enthusiasts for a beer on Friday afternoon, January 30th. So even if you're not interested in this particular project, don't hesitate to reach out!
