Factor e Farm Documentor
Contents
Introduction from Marcin
It is challenging for me to manage all my duties while reporting with regular updates, so I would like to take this opportunity to extend the invitation for a full time, on-site documenter. This will facilitate regular reporting. I am looking for an enterprising partner, and not an employee – but a lifestyle investor and startup instigator - someone willing to dive into the deep end, very ambitious, self-motivated, full time, mature, physically able, funded via the work itself, and interested in a 1-2 year commitment as not only a reporter, but as a resource-generating developer and investor in the project at a deep level – one who considers the work not as a job – but as meaning, inspiration, and ever-changing adventure. The last sentence summarizes my position well – and it is becoming clear to me that this project will succeed only with more people of that nature on site.
