I do... E.g. I just sent my resume off to rubiconsoft.com which
is pretty early stage as far as I can tell from their website.
I like to explain company stages as following the "main sequence"
that stars follow. I mean, check out the following paragraph:

"The time a star spends on the main sequence depends on its mass.
  Perhaps surprisingly the most massive stars spend the least time
  on the main sequence. Although they have a lot of fuel to burn,
  they do so very rapidly, and exhaust it in only a few hundred
  thousand years before expolding violently to become neutron stars
  or black holes."

Does that ring true, or what?

Kana right now is in the late red giant stage and is not far
from becoming a black hole.

At any rate, I much rather prefer working for companies in
the early stages.
