This has to be one of the top open venture jobs in the Seattle area. Founded by a couple of senior Microsoft alums, Jott has taken seed funding less than $1M from Ackerley Partners, Draper Richards and the newly formed investment firm of Skype founder Niklas Zennstrom.
The idea with Jott is to marry email and a toll free number to supplant the sticky note. Call the number: "Honey, don't forget the huggies." Bam, you get the email and the voice mail with the mission critical message. The number to remember is 877-JOTT IT NOW.
Jott is in beta now and plans to give away its service for free. It plans to make money through a premium service, but it also might apply advertising.

If you are not familiar with MarketTools, they are a pretty significant operation - founded in 1997 and now has 450 employees. They have an application called Zoomerang that does market research online. In this position you would report to the SVP of Account Development - Rob Schneider (not the comedian we suspect) and sell primarily to Fortune 500 companies.

We met Mercelo Calbucci - Sampa's founder some time ago. He's a nice Brazilian bloke who did his time at MSFT in Redmond and decided to build a blogging platform that is a bit more MSFT friendly than others. Marcelo is building the platform and is looking to find his marketing side-kick. We think he raised some angel funding. Give him a ring.

We really like the UI of WetPaint, but I guess we are wrong as they are looking to hire a UI Designer and Info Architect, along with several other positions.
Wetpaint was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square. The company is backed with $5M by Trinity Ventures and Frazier Technology Ventures.
WetPaint has a sad origin: "Where did the idea for Wetpaint come from? It came from a friend who not that long ago was diagnosed with cancer. After the initial shock wore off, he did what most of us would do: He went online to learn everything he could.
He found lots of facts, but not the stuff he really wanted to know — like how were other people with this type of cancer coping? How did they deal with the treatments? Who were the best doctors? What were the things you don't learn at the clinic?
Sitting helplessly on the sidelines of our friend's dilemma, it dawned on us: Why not come up with a way to make it easy to share information like this about anything: health, jobs, world events, or hobbies? Why not create websites where real people with real experience would become the experts and inspire others to contribute?"
