LeaveWallStreetJoinAStartup.com Targets Wall Street Job Seekers

High profile venture capitalist Josh Kopelman of First Round Capital launched a new web site today, LeaveWallStreetJoinAStartup.com, which is focused on helping venture-backed startups recruit former Wall Street employees. According to Kopelman, the site will be focused on job opportunities in New York-area startup companies. The new site comes a day after the bankruptcy of investment bank Lehman Brothers, and the takeover of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America. In his blog, Kopelman said that "these days, startups are more stable than Wall Street."
