If you're looking to join a high-tech startup team, you have come to the right place.
We view an Agent as someone who wants to join a startup company to help accomplish their mission. Startups need help from a variety of talented people. So whether you are an advisor, intern, consultant, full-time, or part-time candidate, StartupAgents will work to match you with the right position and company.
We view a Startup as small team of people who have set out on a mission to change the world for the better.
In general, startups we serve:If this sounds like a company you'd like to join, StartupAgents is the place to be.

Once registered, you can create a profile, ask and answer questions, connect with other agents, and communicate with startup teams.
We have created the outline for your profile and it is up to you to personalize it. The outline was created to be specific in helping you connect with high-tech startup companies. Therefore, you have such sections as Risk Preferences and Values. The risk preferences help determine the level of risk you would like to take, which would translate into team size, percentage of equity as compensation, and stage of the startup. The Values section helps to find you a better fit within a startup team. We all value communication and discipline, but the one you value more helps to match you with a better team. You will also find the typical profile sections such as objective, work history, education, and others.
You also have a public and private profile. The public profile will be seen in the search results and is viewable by all startups. Agents cannot view your public profile, unless they are a connection. Your private profile is only viewable by a startup, if you grant that startup permission. If you have information you would only like to present to certain companies, you can save it in your private profile.
The Message page allows you to receive and reply to messages from startups. As soon as you receive a message from a startup, they become a connection. Once a startup is a connection, you can then view their profile and send them messages. Currently, the capability to initiate messages does not exist, but there are plans to allow for it in the future.
Agents have connections with startups and other agents.
Startup Connections - A connection with a startup is created after a startup initiates contact in one of two ways: the startup sends you a message or requests to see your private profile.
Agent Connections - Connections with other agents are specific to creating teams of agents. In other words, agents connect if they have worked together before and would like to work together again. In order to create a connection with another agent, you will need to know their agent number. Therefore, connecting with an agent involves some communication outside of StartupAgents. We are working on integrating agent to agent connections entirely through the platform.
You can ask questions of startups and answer questions posed by startups.
Ask - You can pose questions you would like to know about a startup company, whether it be about the work environment or direction for the company. As long as it's a question that would apply to all startups and it doesn't overlap with an existing question we will approve it. You can also rate the questions posed by other agents, so startups know what's most important to you. Startups then answer the questions, so you can get a better idea about the team you'd like to join.
Answer - Startups also have the ability to pose questions to agents. These would be interview like questions that you can then answer. You can choose which questions you'd like to answer and then assign them to either your public or private profile depending on the sensitivity of your answer. You can only assign an answer to one profile, but can reassign the answer at any time.
Creating an account is easy. Simple click on Get Started, enter your email address on the Registration page, and we will send you an activation email with a temporary password.
