Ask HN : Startups in London
Hi folks,
I was recently bitten by the startup bug and came across this wonderful forum (glad to be a part of it)
I was wondering if the forum was frequented by any startupers based in London. I would love to get involved in the community there and join a startup.
I am a front-end engineer (Javascript/CSS/DHTML, et al) with 3 years of f2e experience.
Looking forward to the community's response!
- f2ender 18y agothanks pclark, jaikoo! I'll get in touch with you offline.
- pclark 18y agoSongkick (YC + Series A VC) are looking for tons of positions, including front end designers. Others worth contacting (dunno if they're hiring, but all doing cool stuff) include Dopplr, Last.FM, Moo, Habit Industries (YC) & Playfish. Lots of others that I can't think of right now.
- f2ender 18y agoThanks a lot pclark. Is there a place where these startups post jobs ? Also, how is the general startup scene as compared to other centers in the US like Boston, NY ?
- pclark 18y agoI live in Cambridge so I can't really comment too much on the scene in London. I think its smaller, but there are lots of great startups from big startups like Last.FM, to expanding ones like Songkick to newly formed ones working out other companies offices.
- smwhreyebelong 18y agoWhat is the funding situation like out there and the hacker community ? Also, do most startups serve the UK market, in general ?
- jaikoo 18y agoWe're currently looking for some front end engineers at our London based startup 1click2fame.
