Bet Your Career On These 10 Hot Startups


Bangalore: When you heard that Facebook’s IPO would produce more than 1,000 millionaires, of which most of them were employees of this social network giant, admit it-you were jealous. All of these workers were marching towards a startup jackpot. It is indeed impossible to predict the next best startup which would turn out to become like Google or Facebook.

But if you are serious with it and willing to gamble your career with a startup, then these are the top 10 companies recommended by Business Insider.

Pinterest

Located:  California

Founded: November 2010

Size:         About 20 employees

Pinterest is one of the fastest growing websites in the history. It is vast with users and had recorded 11 to 17 million unique visitors in just a month’s time. The count of employees looks more attractive as it may still pay significant stock options to its crucial employees.

Although it currently hasn’t generated any revenue, it has more $30 million venture capital to fasten its growth. Investors and capitalists are showing great interest and are throwing unsolicited term sheets at Pinterest in the billion dollar valuation range, so they think that this company can grow to become worth at least $5-10 billion business. 

Romotive

Located:  Las Vegas

Founded: November 2010

Size:         8-15 employees

Right now, Romotive is just a mini toy car that your iPhone, iPad or Android can control for $150. The mobile device acts as the brain of the robot on wheels. Romotive is also designing and creating a Robot API. Developers would program new and different moves for the robot and the users can download the app to control the toy without upgrading it. It has had meetings with Disney, Mattel and Best Buy. Stock options from this company can be a great income as they have supporters like Microsoft, Nokia and LinkedIn.
