Norcal-based DoveBid is looking to hire a VP of Marketing for its Culver City Office. The company raised $22M in July 2004 from Catterton Partners, Ford, Fremont Ventures, GE Equity, Mayfield, Softbank Capital Partners, Texas Pacific Group. Only 9 months earlier, the company had raised Series AA of $28M, $15M of which was a credit facility. In total, the company has raised over $180M in the past four years. During the 90's boom, Dovebid acquired 17 companies in less than two years, filed for an IPO (which was later withdrawn in May 2001), and started losing money in search of frenetic growth to please its VCs.
Dovebid is a B2B Auction house that in the past few years has hooked up Webcasts to expand bidder base globally. The company has historically done well in bust times, selling real-estate assets during the savings-and-loan debacle, Enron office equipment after its bankruptcy, and assets during the dot-com flameout, including WebVan's trucks and distribution equipment. Company competes well against the likes of eBay by useing agents to spin through rolodexes to recruit prospective buyers to specific auctions.
Competitors include eBay, Henry Butcher International
The company has been profitable again since 2001 and has revenues in the hundreds of millions of dollars. DoveBid is pursuing two growth strategies: one is to grow globally in places like Asia that have not typically embraced the auction business and the other is to convince companies to use auctions for profitable sales, rather than just for firesales and bankruptcies. Both of these approaches will be tough to pull off. However, the company is well-positioned against eBay and may be a good acquisition candidate as eBay's outlook flattens.

StubHub seems like it has the makings of a dream job. We know many San Franciscans who can't bear the idea of commuting down to San Jose. StubHub is in SF. Those same people want to work for a big company. Stubhub has been bought by eBay, so its both a start-up and part of bigco. And if you are a sports and/or music fan, there are bound to be perks there. From the outside, the company also appears to be very well run. Alright, so there's a downside. You missed the stock appreciation and are stuck with eBay shares which never seem to do anywhere but down.

Vayama is a Mountain View start-up spawned by Airtrade International, an online travel company focused on international travel. The company is a fully owned subsidiary of BCD NV in the Netherlands, parent company to a large corporate travel management company in the US, BCD Travel.

Vayama's new offices are in the Atrium building at 1975 West El Camino Real in Mountain View.
