Give yourself an unfair advantage by working with START!

START works exclusively with growing organizations, and we specialize in building teams for entrepreneurial high-tech companies in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles.

Unlike other recruiters, we are startup entrepreneurs ourselves, and have built teams for a number of premier venture-funded companies. Over the course of the last several years, we have successfully recruited across departments - from Engineering, to Sales, Marketing, and Business Development - from entry-level through CEO. To date, we have focused the majority of our efforts upon enterprise software and allied infrastructure companies. And with the creation of START advisors we can help our clients recruit the optimal advisory board to complement their existing management team and board of directors.

Based on recent testimonials from both clients -and- candidates, our approach seems to be working!

START's current clients are backed by leading venture capital, corporate, and angel investors, including:

3Com Ventures 12 Entrepreneuring 550 Digital Media Ventures Allegis Capital At India August Capital August Capital Management, LLC Benchmark Capital Bertelsmann Ventures Blueprint Ventures Bowman Capital Management Charles River Ventures Charles Schwab Charter Venture Partners Chase Capital Partners Compass Technology Partners Crystal Internet Venture Funds Dell Computer Corporation Diamondhead Ventures Dominion Ventures Draper Richards Europe@web FBB Global Catalyst Partners Goldman Sachs Highland Capital Partners Idanta Partners iMinds Ventures iPark Silicon Valley Infosys Technologies Ltd.

By selectively partnering with a limited number of startup companies, START is able to offer the unique benefits of a retained executive search for ALL of your ongoing hiring requirements. You teach us your business, and we help you develop the optimal team. Because START is currently working with hundreds of top-notch applicants in San Francisco and Silicon Valley (80% of whom tell us that they have NEVER posted their resume on a job board or worked with a recruiter - probably because most of them already HAVE great jobs!), we have the ability to help you rapidly expand your team and reduce your recruiting costs - whether you are looking to build out an entire team, or simply recruit a couple of top-notch specialists.

And because our own team is comprised of successful entrepreneurs with extensive operational experience (not headhunters!), we provide much more than a pile of resumes. On behalf of our current clients, we have successfully made VC, angel investor, and strategic partner introductions, facilitated press coverage, provided interim sales, marketing, and business development services, recruited board members, and generally supported our clients to the best of our abilities.

Quite simply, our focused approach and extensive operational experience allow us to provide you with an integrated recruiting solution that is faster, better, and cheaper than competing approaches.
