Startup DC

Based in Bethesda, Honesty Online has a laser like focus on a single issue facing online identities; how can we be sure you are honest about your identity. Their main focus at this point seems to be in the online dating area, with a secondary focus on social networking. This is a very interesting solution to the common belief (I only wish I could call it a common misconception) that the internet and dating sites are filled with creeps that are out to steal identities, or worse.

This is an interesting company to watch in the DC startup scene. Despite all the talk about “recession” and a sour economy, they seem to still be recruiting new talent through the Washington DC Craigslist jobs board.
