| This is Bryan, of the YC-backed startup Pairwise. I highly recommend this opportunity. Christian is my roommate, so I have some insider info about ZapTix.com that I figured I should share here. Christian is non-technical, which is why he's looking for a technical co-founder. But the sales and marketing skills that he brings to the table are immense and vital for this business. The current site was built by an offshore team, which for better or worse, is not working out very well for him nor handling his upward growth. Based on suggestions from myself and his technical friends, he's now looking for a technical co-founder to join his team. If I know one thing about Christian, it's that he's a hardworking entrepreneur who also maintains an admirable work-life balance. He's also a people guy. Within a month of moving to SF, he started the most popular tech event in the city - SFbeta, along with well-paying sponsors! He's well liked by all that know him and would be a great person with which to work. I also know first-hand that the company is currently profitable, with several big-name clients, and imho has a ton of room to grow. If I weren't already tied to my current project, I would work with him.
