| 1. What is Startupers all
about? Startupers is a jobsite for innovative startup companies. We started out as a web 2.0 startup job posting board in Silicon Valley. We have since become an all around web gathering point for all things startupy with an emphasis on filling jobs, getting people funded and blogging about whats new and cool. 2. Who is Joe Mama ? Joe Mama is Joe Mama....really. 3. What made you think about it? This is how Craig explains it...."The idea came to me from the spirit world. I was riding my beach cruiser on Market Street downtown San Francisco when a yellow cab crashed into me. The impact launched me headfirst into a plate glass window of a Starbucks. I went inside with the help of a homeless man to wipe the blood from my forehead and enjoy a delicious caramel mocha frappachino. It was at that moment, that I sort of had an existential meltdown. I wasn't sure if I was holding the Frappacchino or if I was the Frappachino. Once recovered, I decided that I needed to spend the rest of my existence helping people find purpose for their lives . What better way to do it than to help techies find work in innovative startups! " 4. How do you make money? We don't but we do accept paypal donations if you really want to help us out. 5. Who thought of the design? The design was Craig's idea. The site was designed with a sharpie, a scanner and Seamonky. Craig loves handwriting and graffiti. When he's not working on the site, he's usually riding the buses of San Francisco with his grease pen scribbling on the windows " Balut is the Answer!". Craig wanted the site to have a minimalist, simple fill that was enjoyable to look at and overall keep people entertained and amused while they go through one of the most excruciatingly disturbingly phases of their lives....trying to find a job. 6. Who the hec are you guys? Startupers consists of Craig Tockman: Creator and Web Design. Devin B Holmes: Co-Founder and Chief Negotiator. Barrett Andersen: Code Monkey and Muscle. Joe Mama: CTO and Mouse in Pocket. Milton Hasselbury: Employee #5 and fluffer. 7. Why is there only one"p" in Startupers. Because "startup" is not spelled "startupp".  |
