We’re starting a new tradition where after an event we’ll post the 20 companies who got to pitch at the last happy hour.  Since those companies get a chance to get up in front of the crowd, they always get a lot of attention.  So now you can just look here and see who they were.

We had some really terrific startups and companies pitching at our Los Angeles Happy Hour on Dec. 9th at the Air Conditioned Supper Club.  You can click on any of their names which will tak you to their Jobnob profile.  From there, you can email any of the companies you are interested in talking to. 

They 20 companies who pitched at the event were:

1. Docstoc
2. smartvark
3. Stealth Auto
4. Advizo
5. MoVoxx
6. DuraShutter
7. Central Desktop
8. ManBrain
9. Mode Republic
10. Bidsie
11. Alelo
12. RazorGator
13. LaughStub
14. Open42
15. Factual
16. Mahalo
17. ThisNext
18. IntraMedical
19. Appletree
20. Stylit.TV

There will also be some YouTube videos of the pitches.

Wednesday night over 300 of LA’s hottest startups and most talented jobseekers crammed into the Air Conditioned Supper Club to attend the first Jobnob-Docstoc Happy Hour .  Space was tight as people moved around the room to get their free food (courtesy of Docstoc) and schmooze with the hundreds of people at the event.  Twenty companies also got the chance to pitch the crowd on their companies and jobs.

The idea behind Jobnob is to connect jobseekers and startups both in an online community at www.jobnob.com as well as at in person events.  Jobnob has already put on 9 successful events in the Bay Area, but this was the first time the event was brought to the Los Angeles startup scene.

While the event was open to anyone, special partners included: USC Viterbi School of Engineering, USC Marshall School of Business, UCLA Anderson School of Business, UCLA Henry Samueli Engineering School, Pepperdine Graziadio School of Business, and the Technology Council of SouthernCalifornia (TCOSC).
