SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the future establishment of a company focused on designing RF circuits and solid-state spintronic devices, with aspirations to eventually develop quantum computers. The founder, eNtRopY, outlines a diverse team requirement, including roles such as RF IC Design Engineers, RF System Engineers, Cleanroom Engineers, and Applied Physicists, among others. The preferred location for the company is Madison, Wisconsin, due to favorable tax breaks and a lower cost of living compared to California. The conversation also touches on the need for marketing interns and the potential for creative advertising strategies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RF circuit design principles
  • Familiarity with solid-state physics and spintronics
  • Knowledge of quantum computing fundamentals
  • Experience in marketing strategies for tech startups
NEXT STEPS
  • Research RF IC Design methodologies and tools
  • Explore the latest advancements in quantum computing technologies
  • Learn about effective marketing strategies for technology companies
  • Investigate small business tax incentives in Wisconsin
USEFUL FOR

Entrepreneurs, engineers in RF and quantum technologies, marketing professionals, and anyone interested in starting a tech-focused company in the Midwest.

eNtRopY
Okay, in about 5 years, I will be starting a company.

What will this company do?
We will design RF ciruits and/or solid state spintronic devices (eventually quantum computers).

What kind of people do I need?
1 Accountant/Patent Attorney/Business Entrepreneur, ~5 RF IC Design Engineers, ~5 RF System Engineers, ~5 Cleanroom Engineers, 2 Computer Weenies (networking nerds), 2 Electrical Technicians, 2 Applied Physicists

Where will this company be located?
Preferably Madison, Wisconsin... possibly Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Will we rule?
As long as I'm charge, yes.

Well, I was actually thinking of just leasing a building that came with janitorial service... that way, there's fewer people on the payroll.

Maybe when the company grows we can figure out how to employ you.

What is your specialty anyway?

I think I'm going to go with jb's idea and hire interns for the marketing campaign. Their young, they know what's hip... and I can pay them a measly $10 per hour, yet they'll be happy just to have the experience. Each year around Christmas time, I can give them a whopping $1 per hour raise and watch them wet their pants with excitement.

No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. :wink:
 
you will need a creative advertizing consultant, baggsy that job, but can we locate in london i can't commute to the usa each day.
 
Might be cheaper to locate company in china/ india, as there are lots of tech people there willing to work for very low wages - more money for you.

If this idea works, I would not object to having 1% of the profits for this suggestion.

Is there an opening for Random Button Pusher #3?

Net Admin here...I'll join your business venture ;) Course, in 5 years I'll (hopefully) be a graduated math major, with sights set on grad school, but hey, who knows.
 
  • #14
in 5 years i just may be a junior at UW-Madison (soph. in high school now in Milwaukee)

I can come be a weenie... of course I'm not a cheap weenie. in fact I'm a very costly (yet valuable) weenie.

And you'll need to relocate to California.. I've been to Wisconsin... no comparison..cheese and bars or beaches and babes;) Come out here and work on your tan

SHOW ME THE MONEY!

That's of course if I'm not a doctor by then...*shrug* who knows..
 
  • #16
if i were in any of these :
Preferably Madison, Wisconsin... possibly Minneapolis, Minnesota.
i would have been a RF IC Design Engineers or RF System Engineers or Electrical Technicians in your company [?] !

..Do you need a philosopher/Molecular Biologist??

You know...for those hard questions...

"Is it right, to build Quantum computers? How do the quanta feel about being 'Used' in this way? Are the quanta alive?" and so on...

You know, its these sorts of questions which businesses have to ask themselves to make it into the big time...
 
  • #18
heh..in 4 years i will have completed my photonics/telecomunications course. You need someone with those sort of qualifications?

i can drive stick and i am a very, very, terrible dancer.

If you'd settle for taking a position as a chemical engineer / wafer processing engineer, we could use you.

If you can get a motorcycle license and learn to play bass, that would be cool too.

Well, maybe... it depends on how big the company gets. Of course, photonics/telecommunications dudes usually can do RF systems engineering as well. Are you a hardware or systems dude, BTW?

If the company gets really big, then I might need a logician / game theorist / strategic analyst to help me rule the world.

No way, we are not moving to California. The cost of living is too fvcking high. Besides, I like the idea of having my company in the Midwest... I will make my homeland a little richer... and I can get certain small business tax breaks there that I can't get in CA.

i can bend both ways. My goal is to know as much as possible.
by the end of my studies i could fill about half of those positions - altho my speciality would be in photonics/telceomunications.

So meh..one day, if i feel like it, i may be alble to work for you.

Don't get me wrong.. I'm originally a midwest guy myself (michigan) but there's something to be said for no snow... hhehehe

I want to know the current status of this imaginary company. U can hire me to make the impossible possible or vice versa.

which is why Phoenix is such a good choice. low cost of living, no snow, already a major tech city Motorola/intel/etc. Plus you can get some awesome tax breaks if you bully the government.
Where are you getting start up capital? is that why 5 years until start? saving up that McDonalds paycheck?

I have a software company. You can actually find it in places like Best Buy and Comp USA etc... Maybe when I become the next Bill Gates I can hire some of you. :-p (in other words, don't get your hopes up) :wink:
