    I read that you are looking for some awesome people to join your vator team. I didn't see a link through the email or on your page here about applying, but I may have accidentally skipped over it. Please let me know if you're still looking for new team members and where I might apply.
  • Alex Backer November 01, 2009
    Vator is a truly valuable service to start-ups. In the short time that QLess has been on it since we were selected one of the ten Juice Pitcher winners, we've been featured on CNET, approached by top-tier investors and successful entrepreneurs, received many qualified job applicants, and accrued hundreds of fans with whom Vator allows us to stay in touch via updates. Combine that with the fact it's free, and the ROI is hard to beat. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
  • Tim Hyer October 30, 2009
    Vator really is the voice of the entrepreneur. As a startup founder who just launched a company 3 weeks ago, I can vouch for this because Vator has been there every step of the way. First by providing a venue for my company to go-live, on-stage to an audience of 300 in Silicon Valley (The Juice Pitcher). Then by helping my company get press in great publications, like CNET and ReadWriteWeb. Now Vator helps me get the word out on a daily basis with company updates through vator.tv and other social media channels. I already have 500 followers and continue to expand my reach. Above all, the Vator Team is a great group and I've enjoyed getting to know them. Thanks, Vator. Keep up the great work!
