[Baypiggies] Python Developer - Social Applications - Profitable Startup in SOMA

[Mary Stephens]

About LOLapps
We're a young and scrappy startup in the social application space. We're
still fairly stealthy but you can read a bit more about us at
http://www.insidefacebook.com/2008/09/09/white-label-app-platform-lolapps-raises-45-million-from-polaris-ventures/
. It's reasonably accurate as far as these type of things go.

Here are a few bullets on us, because who doesn't love bullets?

- We're profitable, which makes us pretty much the opposite of your typical
echo chamber-spawned Si Valley startups. We're not in this to win a pat on
the head from Michael Arrington.
- We raised $4m in an A round with Polaris Ventures and value-add angels
including Ron Conway and Ariel Poler.
- We're only 12 people. You can make a MASSIVE impact here.


- Our office is in San Francisco, currently the in the old Yelp space, but
we plan to upgrade our digs soon (we'll still be in SF).
- We have all the typical startup stuff (free food, Rock Band, exposed brick
walls, etc).
- If you like beer, check out our kitchen: http://lolapps.com/office.html .
