phprida | 7 years ago | on: I created a list of every startup job in Boston

For some context, a bunch of my friends were cycling out of startups we had joined years ago and asked me for help finding the next opportunity that was right for them. Besides networking, which is always the best choice, I couldn't find a single location where all early stage startup jobs in Boston could be found. So I built it myself.

Between startup websites, LinkedIn Jobs, AngelList, SimplyHired, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, and others, no one site had over 25% of open jobs in Boston. Also, I figured it would be interesting to see how long each of these jobs were available to better understand how hard it is to fill certain positions...or which job postings were simply stale.

It has been a fun journey so far, and I've built up a nice little audience for my newsletter since starting on Jan. 1.

"Tunnel vision helps. Being a bit of a shit helps. A thick skin helps. Stamina is crucial, as is a capacity to work so hard that your best friends mock you, your lovers despair and the rest of your acquaintances watch furtively from the sidelines, half in awe and half in contempt" - Felix Dennis, Media Mogul
