NVCA Creates Jobs Database
The National Venture Capital Association launched a job listings service today to track open positions at venture-backed startups. The new site, called StartupHire.com, currently lists 10,000 openings, with 37 percent of them in California. For a select few, this may be a good source of information, but it’s primarily a convenient way to show the government that venture firms are creating jobs, even in this downturn.

I market services to early stage companies. StartUpHire is a great resource to find VC backed companies nationwide. I love the mapping feature and the weekly update summary of new firms.
Very nice!
What a great resource! Whether or not you’re trying to make a point to the government I’m glad to have it.
Keep eating your greens!
Just to clarify – StartUpHire is a private company started by a handful of people in the venture industry. Its primary purpose is to accelerate team building at venture backed companies. They partnered with NVCA but NVCA did not create it. StartUpHire is sharing job creation data with NVCA to support its efforts on Capital Hill and elsewhere.
