I don't have much experience with applying to startups (I work for an agency) but 99% of the .NET devs I know are .NET only. Explicitly stating that you are platform/language agnostic might help. I've had good experiences with emailing the tech director or head of HR (as opposed to responding to hr@companyname.com addresses posted on job boards) at a place I'd like to work, saying something like "I saw the amazing work you did for __ and I'd love the chance to work with you on great projects like this in the future, do you have any positions open?" I'd be happy to give some feedback on your resume if you want to post it.
