Please see below for an independent project opportunity from Michael Share (michael.share@nextcorporatetravel.com):

I am an established, industry-recognized travel entrepreneur, looking for a business-, start-up, entrepreneurial-minded MBA student to assist me on designing and structuring the foundations for my next on line web based travel start-up. I recently sold a travel-services management company that had annual sales of $800mm, and now I’m looking to do it again.

The ideal candidate is passionate about start-ups, consumer-oriented web-businesses, travel, and a variety of web-based programming. I am not necessarily looking for a coder/programmer, but I am looking for someone whom is familiar enough with web programming key to making my new website work and that he/she is able to fully and confidently assess potential CTOs/developer teams, etc. Duties include:

-market/industry research;

-identifying and vetting potential partners;

-assisting with business model development and market testing;

-assisting with document production (executive summary, high-level P&L, projections, etc.)
