You're getting a lot of comments about how it needs to be easier to search by location, and I admit I was going to post one, too. Thinking about it, though, it's a mistake. Searching by location is the kind of searching you do on regular job sites, where the goal is to convenitenly get out of your current lousy job and into a less bad one.
If startups are about passion and commitment, why even list location? Founders need that kind of dedication, but I guess that's a pretty small market so you may also need to help companies find early employees. Hm.
Maybe the whole concept of a job listing is the problem here. It's not a job, right, it's a startup? How do you present startups that makes them different than any other workplace? Instead of jobs, you could just list companies. Pull in news items from their blog, use daylife.com to pull in stories about them. Maybe I'm just retartgeting visualcv.com for companies.
I'd like to see a site that sells me on how great it is to work at a company I can be passionate about, and I fill in my interests to find a company that could be a calling for me. Right now Startuply just another job site that happens to have the word "startups" at the top.

- krschultz 18y agoI see what you are saying, but I work for a startup in NYC, and there are a lot of places I would go (Boston, Boulder), but I would never move to silicon valley, so you have to be able to search by location.
- LukeG 18y agoWe're with you on this - the startup itself is tremendously important. All the startups on Startuply have company profiles, where they can talk about their mission, team, work environment, etc., upload pictures of their office, import company and team blog feeds, and more. Think we're headed in the right direction?
- Harkins 18y agoI spent a few more minutes poking around and saw the company profiles I missed before (oops). But I still don't see anything that differentiates from other job sites except that you (deliberately) have fewer jobs listed.
