Hipster Offers PBR, Skinny Jeans and $10,000 for Hiring Help

Remember Hipster, that Q&A startup that received so much buzz back in January — before anyone even knew what it was — based on its name alone? Well, now Hipster is hiring, and is offering scads of hipster-themed prizes for referrals and applicants.

Hipster, a Quora-like site that allows users to ask and answer questions about cities — came out of the gate strong,coogi jeans for sale to men with low price and top quality. with 10,000 signups in the first few days of its mysterious unveiling (before anyone knew what it was). Then there were acquisition rumors, as well as a $1 million investment in May with participation from Google Ventures, Charles River Ventures, 500 Startups, Lightbank,Wedge Shoes was created in order to maintain a balance of the athletes' movement. etc.

The first version launched at SXSW for the festival (at which it only garnered 4,000 users in two days), and a second version — which will function in all cities, not just at a specific event — will be launching soon on web and mobile.

“We learned a ton at [SXSW],” says CEO Doug Ludlow.Air max 360 is loved by the majority of athletes and the general public people. “And what we learned there is heavily shaping v.2, which will be good to go in a few weeks.”

Now the site is hiring — using some of that $1 million, it seems — and in typical attention-grabbing fashion, Hipster is offering folks prizes for referring friends to those positions (all engineering jobs) as well as applying themselves.

If Hipster hires you or someone you refer, you could nab $10,000, one year's supply of PBR — hipster nectar of the gods, a fixie, skinny jeans, Buddy Holly glasses, mustache grooming services, worn-out brown boots and a pinstriped bowtie.Find an Adidas Jacket in your team colors or from your favorite soccer teams that wear the Adidas brand. (Would have been nice to have some more stuff for the hipster ladies, guys. Maybe some Native American-inspired jewelry or a nice vintage floral dress?)

Again, it seems, the startup is leveraging buzz around that meme-worthy archetype to raise public awareness of its product. We'll just have to wait and see if this buzz has anything weighty behind it come version 2.what really makes my heart go pitter-patter with excitement are Knee High Boots.
