It seems like at trendy day to add mapping features to find startups. We’ve been mapping out all the recent venture funding in Southern California since almost the advent of open Internet map services, but, we thought it would be fund to go ahead and extend that a bit to find neighboring companies in our subscription database. Simply go to any company, click on “Map” next to a company’s name, and we’ll show a map of all of that firm’s neighbors.

Use this to:

• Find other possible employers in the neighborhood
• Figure out potential companies to make a sales call to when you visit a neighborhood
• See how many startups are in your area

We’ll be enhancing this as we get requests. This mapping feature is only available to premium subscribers to our database of high tech companies, venture capital, and service providers in Southern California (and beyond), who pay just $24.95 a month to access what one of our subscribers told me recently was “the most useful Internet service out there, period.”
