My New Business Venture!

Posted At : September 11, 2007 10:36 AM | Posted By : Simon Horwith
Related Categories: Flex, ColdFusion, Java, Misc, AIR
The big news that I alluded to in my last entry is that I have resigned from my position as CIO of AboutWeb in order to go into business for myself. I am currently in discussions with several entities regarding funding and partnerships, and hope to have a more detailed announcement in the VERY near future.

Though still an authority and evangelist of ColdFusion, I have also been focusing very heavily on LiveCycle, AJAX, AS3, Flex and AIR (formerly known as Apollo) for quite some time. I expect and hope that my focus will continue to grow with these technologies (always keeping myself grounded with CF - a technology I have long had a love affair with).

I am available to discuss opportunities to consult and engage new clients, so feel free to email me at simon@horwith.com to find out more about how I can assist with your software development and/or training needs. I am also on the lookout for strong talent. More specifically, I am looking for developers with strong experience with one or more of the following technologies: Java, ColdFusion, Flex, ActionScript, LiveCycle, AIR, .NET, and AJAX. More detailed information for more specific needs will be available soon, but if or someone you know fits the bill, send their resume my way. I am also looking for a strong sales/business development person: if you know someone, please let me know.

More information on my new venture coming soon...

I'm sure you'll be just as successful running solo! :-)

I can't wait to see how "Horwith Enterprises" shapes up.

Word on the street is that you're joining Universal Mind!
# Posted By Mike | 9/12/07 6:18 PM
not that I know of, Mike. Good guess though ;)
thanks for all the well wishes, Everyone. I should have some sort of announcement really soon.
# Posted By Simon Horwith | 9/12/07 7:30 PM
By the way, Mike - this is a classic illustration of just how misleading the "word on the street" can be. My sources on the street tell me that I'm going to work for Microsoft. Of course, at this stage in my career, I'm a bit of a CF Dinosaur, and am not so in tune with the street as I was when I was a young lad. That said, we could both be wrong - I know for a fact that just the other day I was sighted having coffee with a gentleman who works for Figleaf at a local coffee shop...
# Posted By Simon Horwith | 9/12/07 7:46 PM
Those pesky streets can be misleading, no doubt! Coffee shops? Figleaf? hmmmm.... your riddle has me stumped.
