What: Brown graduate seeking partner for a Costa Rican technology school venture
Description: below is the text of Josh email
I was wondering if you would be able to help me get the word out about the
school I'm starting up in Costa Rica. Right now I'm looking for someone who
knows their business technology and would want to live in Costa Rica for at
least a year or so. The position that comes would be a strong partnership and
an equity position.
All the best,
Josh
