I've read your blog, the page on your website, your twitter feed, and I still have no idea what you want to do, what source of revenue you want to have, even what domain this company operates in.
Dropping the complete secrecy and telling people what the job is about might bring you a little more "luck" in finding a developer or CTO.
PS. Lots of startups want to revolutionize some web-related concept. How are you any different?
Hey guys. I only have five years web development experience, but I am totally amped to work with you guys. Email sent!
I am just a technical guy, so I am obviously going to need a lot of help from you three business guys to understand what is going on. (Thanks in advance for the help.)
I cannot wait to get to work on your Facebook/Twitter/eBay/Google clone.
The world will never know what hit it.
You need some help - there's nothing wrong with that.
The important question is why does the help need you?
Sorry, guys, but this really isn't the place for this sort of thing.
The only hint is on the main page: please "bare" with us.
Thank you everyone for your criticisms. Yes, we are all business types, but we've thought of this idea and as business people want to take whatever actions necessary to get this thing up and running smoothly. It's essentially a new idea that really hasn't been touched upon. Yes, maybe we're going about it wrong and don't have the best design, but we're trying and we want somebody that can help us do that. Why we don't release what we are, is because people have told us, this is uber-simple to do for web-devs and so putting out that information, someone could easily snatch it up and put us out.
Is this a paying gig?
Another note: All three of us are really busy, we all have families, go to school full time, and have other jobs. We're motivated to keep on keeping on, but we've got other things on the agenda with little time to put on Ampley. Yes, that's probably not a very good excuse, but at least I'm not lying here. We understand there are multitudes of things we could do better, but with limited time, it's hard.
Unless you're a proven company, it's nearly impossible to get people to sign onto a secret project you can't tell them about. Apple was able to do it with the iPhone, and DEKA had similar success with Segway/Ginger. But you're neither Jobs or Kamen, so it's going to be a lot harder, especially with a sloppy webpage.
What do you do?
By the way, can you tell me what does ampley do again? I might have missed it.
Are you sure the problem is job title? Forget about the huge differences between "web dev", "CTO" and "technical co-founder" and think about what info is available to an outsider:
You are three non-technical people.
Your say your idea is really really great but unfortunately secret.
You have been unable to hire a "web dev" (really?), so you decided to replace "web dev" with "CTO" and post again.
From your home page: "New layout & about us coming soon! 37 days ago"
Offers on the blog to send your PR person to talk on podcasts about this great new thing that doesn't exist and you can't talk about.
From the evidence, Ampley is run by people who aren't capable of making an about page, much less "revolutionize the internet". Maybe I'm wrong but from where I'm standing it's not a mystery why "web devs" are not breaking down your door.
