Want to Work at Mahalo? Here’s Your Chance!
Mahalo CEO Jason Calacanis announced earlier this week that they are now renting space at their HQ in Santa Monica, California. Apparently the Mahalo office is about 10,000 square feet and they are renting out at least 4,000 square feet. Makes sense with all of the staff they have let go over the past months. Pricing was not disclosed. Check out the photos – pretty nice looking space.
From the announcement, “All with morning oatmeal, desks, Aeron chairs, Polycom SoundPoint IP 550 VOIP phones, printers, facsimile, redundant internet, WiFi, coffee, tea, cleaning, all utilities, shared kitchen, conference, green screen/podcasting facilities, in 10,000 ft space.”
It looks like Causecast is also sharing the space – they were a Techcrunch50 finalist – just saying. (Update: Jason says CauseCast has moved out and that’s some of the open space) From what we understand they have changed their hiring policies so no more worries about putting your startup next to criminals. Annual renewals will receive one ride in the Tesla. The very fancy coffee and tea pot is available for $2.50 a cup – Google AdSense ain’t paying what it used to yo.
All jokes aside, this concept of renting out space seems to be pretty popular these days as startups shrink their size. I know many companies doing it here in NYC as well.
mahalo is still in business?
Does anyone know of any NY-based companies doing the same?
Thanks for posting pal! CauseCast actually out grew the space we rented them so part of the space is open again.
Quick Mahalo update:
1. Record traffic for Mahalo again this month.
2. breakeven within the year

4. So you can sort of “work for Mahalo” — really work *with* Mahalo to make some spare change with Mahalo 2.0!
5. Mahalo Answers broke 1m uniques in month four!
6. ~400th largest site in the USA according to *quantified* Quantcast. :-)
See you at TechCrunch50… we’ll have a special Areon chair brought in just for you. :-p
Thanks for the updates Jason. I will update the post to note that CC has moved out.
It’s funny you point to those pages about income but it looks like the entire page is Mahalo employees! or am I missing it?
We kept the top 1,000 pages in the system for ourselves since we paid for them…. but we’re giving the other 99k or so to the community… plus we’re gonna build up to 3m pages over the next 18 months… so that should produce a LOT more winner for our community.
When are you going to start covering NY based startups again?
Robert I would love to cover more NYC stories – it’s what I want. But it seems startups here want valley coverage – and I’ve tried as much as I can to reach out to startups – I promise you that.
Allen,
