Looking For A Startup Job in Boulder – Come to TechStars Smackdown

Sep 30, 2010

Want to work for a startup?

Have you ever wanted to work for a web startup, but aren’t sure where to look or how it might be different from a big company gig? Come check out the TechStars Smackdown event on October 12th in Boulder.

It’s not a typical job fair.  The event starts with a panel of entrepreneurs that will answer questions about what it means to work for a startup – common questions such as salary levels, equity versus salary compensation, work/life balance, and job security.  Then 12 Boulder companies (Vacation Rental Partner, ScriptPad, Rezora, SendGrid, Omniar, StatsMix, Spot Influence, Graphic.ly, Snapabug, Next Big Sound, Orbotix, BlipSnips, and Gnip) will each get 5 minutes to sell you on why working for their startup will be a great career move.

The event ends with networking so you can meet the founders of these companies in person.

It’s free and open to the public, but requires a reservation.  Check it out – you might be the key employee that helps propel that company to stardom.
