What are the best <300 person startups in the Bay Area?
Looking to make a switch after 4+ years at Uber. Who is doing cool stuff, has good leadership, growth and folks feel like the company has a bright future?
Breakout list startups are one place to start looking (Reddit is one)
I don't know about Reddit. Feel like growth has stagnated and monetization still seems to be a challenge
Menlo Security is pretty badass
Nextdoor. We’re around 200 and it’s an exciting time to join. Lots of opportunity
Lol
Social networking to find lost cats and dogs... I deactivated my account.
Blind
check out Anki
Plaid
What's cool about them?
Seemingly every financial institution with online banking uses Plaid APIs to allow customers to login. From credit unions to RobinHood to Stripe and Venmo. They are growing like crazy in every area
Housecanary, and not just because I work there.
Eaze. Company revenue is taking off, leadership is experienced and making good moves, your coworkers and managers are chill, just raised a round. Also Uber experience is highly relevant.
I've heard horror stories from disgruntled CSMs at eaze. Their tech isn't impressive either. They went with react native just because their contractor was an ex-Facebooker and no one thought to question it.
There's definitely some company history that would spawn those horror stories, but those days are mostly past. Tech stack is def needing some love, but that's what happens when you hit immediate product market fit with an MVP - gotta run with it. It's also gotten a lot better in the last year. And that isn't how the react native decision went down at all. RN choice has actually proven to be a really good investment given our dev resources.
Talkdesk. CEO is visionary, and we're crushing it with 1000% growth this year. Comp is low, but we'll be worth so much one day, it won't matter. Also, we have the best fake reviews on glassdoor!

SoFi is on that list. 😏🍆💦💦💦
