Middle PHP Developer: PHP/Mysql/JavaScript/Laravel (Financial District)

To Whom It May Concern, Being brief since this is public, my idea is a website similar to Craigslist but with features that enhance communication. I have not fully fleshed out the concept because I am not sure if it is viable or possible. I am willing to invest some resources into this. About me: I lack experience with startups and building websites/apps, but I am knowledgeable and proficient with technology. I have some experience in the entertainment industry but took a break from it. I have a B.o.S. degree. What I am requesting goes beyond the category of this ad, so I expect you to be experienced and to have ideally gone through a cycle of a successful website/app. If you believe you would be interested in assessing if it is viable and having vested interest/equity, introduce yourself and message me. I intend to google you, look at your portfolio, before introducing myself and arranging a virtual meeting (virtual because I am currently based on the East Coast), I will have you sign a typical NDA (confidentiality in all communication), and I would like to discuss our backgrounds to ensure we are a good fit and transparency. Thanks.
