We aren't a start up but if you'd to do more low level programming work there is a Toshiba run shop in Nashville TN working on HDTV software (firmware up through GUI) and we are hiring. C and C++ - Real time programming experience a plus. Unix development - multi threaded - synchronization - blah blah blah, you get the idea.
It just so happens that I live in Nashville, and I've done a lot of multithreaded network programming. You haven't provided any contact info, though, and there's nothing in your profile I can see.
