Itching to ditch your boring desk job to break into a dynamic, high-growth startup? You’re not the only one: last week, dozens of job seekers joined us at General Assembly’s NYC HQ for the inside scoop from growing startups.
Maybe you're applying for a remote position, or the hiring manager is working out of a coworking space halfway across the world -- whatever the reason, the moment that you're invited to a video interview, you're probably thinking, “no biggie, I've got it in the bag”.
But video interviews should still make you as nervous as any other interview you’d do in-person. The only difference between them is that with video interviews, there's a lot more that could go wrong. So it's your responsibility to not only prepare for the questions thrown at you, but also to get your setup #onfleek so that you’re 100% in control. Check out these 5 tips to help you get your vid interview down to pat.
Technology allows us to live faster, easier, better, and more productive lives. It also gives us endless opportunities to be healthier people. Scientists and innovators all over the world are constantly developing new and improved tech to try and shake up the healthcare industry and make it better for everyone. There are companies whose missions range from championing women’s health to helping you find the right doctor in a better way. In San Francisco, these four tech startups are part of the movement for positive change in health. Check them out.
In this interview series, we ask companies we love working with to give us some insight into what they’re all about. They’ll share how the company got started, what it's like to work there, and what makes them different. It’s your inside look to some of the coolest startups.

Real estate is one of those industries that touches us all, in one way or another, at some point in our lives. Whether you’re buying a house, renting an apartment, or building a business, we all have our experiences with real estate. And so often, we complain about these experiences, citing them as difficult, costly, complicated, and frustrating. But what if real estate didn’t have to be that way? These five NYC startups are trying to revolutionize the industry and better the real estate experience for everyone involved. Check them out.
Money. It’s something that we all think about everyday. Do I have enough money for rent? How much is lunch going to cost? Do I have good credit? Sometimes, we’d rather not get down in the money blues, but luckily there are companies dedicated to trying to make our lives better when it comes to finance. Like these five San Francisco Bay Area startups. From a credit company devoted to empowering the underbanked to a digital check platform, these fintech startups are all about bettering the way we do business.
For as much as we pay to go to college, we don’t always learn everything we need to prepare for post-grad life (aka “the real world”). For those of us who are a few years out of college, we remember the struggle of finding a job -- having to craft just the right resume, answering interviewers’ questions right, making sure you track all your job applications -- admittedly, it’s not fun. But because the job search is something most of us will have to go through in our lives, we’ve put together these three tips for fresh job seekers so that you don’t have to make these mistakes yourselves.
April was a pretty big month for startup funding, especially for the health and tech (especially cybersecurity) companies popping up in the good ol’ San Francisco Bay Area. Expect some big things from these startups in the coming months!
While April was a tough month for weather around the country, it was a great month for startup seed funding. These five NYC startups raised a combined total of $30.8 million, which is a whole lotta cash.
Who are these mover and shakers in the startup world? While all a little different, these five companies have one thing in common (besides their recent seed funding), they’re all driven to change the status quo. Check them out.

After all the hard work, resume building, outfit-deciding, and interview-practicing, the moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here: you have an official offer! But then you ask yourself, what’s next? Well, you have a pretty big decision to make, and before you take the plunge, there are a few things you can do to make sure that you’ll be happy with whatever decision you make.
Not familiar with Techstars? Here’s why it should be on your radar: Techstars is an intensive, three-month accelerator program that provides an unparalleled network of mentors and advisors to promising early-stage companies. They have programs all over the world and in every industry — you’ve probably even heard of some former Techstars companies! Do Classpass and Plated ring a bell? Classpass has raised $154 million to date and Plated was acquired by supermarket chain Albertson’s last year, so it’s safe to say Techstars alums are companies to watch.
Buying a mattress is tough. There are so many things to take into account when it’s time to make the change! How do you choose between memory foam and traditional springs? What makes a bed “ergonomic?” Why should I drop 1,000 big ones on this particular mattress, and once I buy it, how do I schlep it up my three-story walkup?
Whether it’s online or in-person, mattress shopping is overwhelming. And if you’ve seen the subway and Facebook ads, you know disruptive mattress companies are rising in popularity, changing the way we think about those rectangular things where we spend at least 50% of our lives. We’ve compiled a list of these startups based in NYC who are dedicated to giving us even more reasons to never want to leave our beds, and some tips on how to be a part of these growing industry disruptors.
Anyone who’s worked at a small startup could probably tell you how much sweat and tears go into getting a business off the ground. There’s an incredible amount of work, thought, and dedication that goes into making a startup (you know -- “start up”) as well as money. So getting that kind of investment is essential to growing companies at the rate that startups are known for.
Luckily for these 5 San Francisco startups, they just raised Series A funding. It means they’ve entered a period of momentum where they’re expanding not only their revenue streams, but also their teams. So keep an eye on these companies and see if you can slide your way into their ranks in the coming months. Check them out.
