San Francisco Start-up Jobs

Last Updated: January 24 2014 at 06:31pm EST

The San Francisco Bay Area is the Mecca of start-ups. Silicon Valley is the place where it all began. Large companies like Google and Facebook as well as newer start-ups like Instagram and Airbnb all originated here. While the Bay Area is no longer the only place to work in technology, it has one of the most vibrant and active start-up communities anywhere in the world. 

San Francisco Start-up Jobs

 There are a few reasons why the San Francisco Bay Area is so attractive to start-ups and technology companies:

  1. Silicon Valley has the longest history as a hub for technology, so the sheer volume of tech companies makes it an attractive place to be. Wherever you go, you are bound to meet software engineers, designers and marketers who work at start-ups. Start-up founders come to San Francisco to meet like-minded souls and there's no shortage of entrepreneurs in San Francisco, Palo Alto and Berkley!
  2. Larger companies in the Bay Area are used to working with start-ups. If you're making a B2B product, it's likely that your first beta companies will be from the San Francisco area. Companies in San Francisco understand that start-ups are not perfect and are interested and excited to try out new products before they are released to a broader market.
  3. Investors are most plentiful in the Bay Area. Companies looking to raise capital generally make at least one stop to Silicon Valley's famous Sand Hill Road. Well-known VCs such as Benchmark and Sequoia are all headquartered here. And the best accelerator in the world, Y Combinator, is also based out in Silicon Valley.

For job seekers, San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area are great places to work in technology. There are thousands of companies, from large tech companies to brand new start-ups that are looking for talent.
