“By day the hottest marketplace startups. By night, even hotter.”

 We have teamed up with our friends at Thumbtack.com to put together an amazing party featuring the marketplace startups we love and adore.

The party – Night Market – will feature 16 of the hottest marketplace startups, including marketplaces for accommodations (Airbnb.com), cars (GetAround.com), labor-on-demand (Crowdflower.com), networking (BranchOut.com), and even collectibles (Crave.com). 

Each startup will demo their product in a creative way at the party: a bouncy castle, Asian cocktails, Tesla rides, red lanterns, Kung Fu, a photo booth, gongs, a waffle truck, clothing swaps, and round-the-world twister. And there will be some awesome surprises. (One involves a sword. One involves fire.)

The party is this Wednesday, June 1, 2011 and starts at sundown (8pm) at our new Thumbtack.com HQ (454 Natoma St, SOMA).

All 300 tickets are sold out, but the waitlist can be joined at Eventbrite (we will be releasing tickets the day of the event).

Members of the press are invited to join a half hour early (7:30pm) for pre-party drinks and interviews with the founders of the startups.

See our press release for the full list of startups and all the details of the party.
