This is really great. Where have all these companies been? I've been in DC for almost 3 months now and I was preparing to move to SV because the startup community seemed non-existent and I hate working in a void. If I can find a startup that has a desk to rent so I can focus on my own project, or at least an enjoyable part-time gig, I might stick around.
If so, e-mail me - justin@clearspring.com

What type of development do you do? We're looking for strong systems developers.
Primarily do rails and ruby development. In working on my failed startup, I wound up doing a lot of stuff on some level, from backend ruby stuff where I did nearly all of the work, to JS on the front end (and lots in between). My SO helped me a lot on the front end with CSS, graphics, layout, and general design... and is in about the same job situation as me.

This might be changing... The Secretary of Defense announced a few months ago that he wants to cut contractors by 10 percent a year for 3 years: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/virginiapolitics/2010/08/th...
Even if that does happen, all it means is that you can hire the bottom 30 percent
3 morons can look more productive than 1 talented techie to someone that doesn't understand what any of them are doing
As a DC area coder interested in startups, I thought I would map this to see where the hot spots are. I was not surprised to learn that there were several along the Dulles Toll road, but I didn't know that downtown DC was a favorite. My map: http://bit.ly/fO9gyL

Out of curiosity, where did you get the addresses? I didn't see them on the site.
