Educate Success (http://www.educatesuccess.com) -- Elinor Alexander
Exec Assistants (http://www.execassistants.com) -- Jill Tolman
SimpleSpark (http://www.simplespark.com) -- Christian Gloddy (contracted at Jobster)
There are a few others who maybe qualify as "playing a key role" in a startup, and one I know in stealth mode. I'll let them speak up if they want.
That said, every smart, socially networked person who got hired at Jobster immediately tried to recruit every other smart, socially networked person they knew, and it just snowballed. There was this brilliant combination of intelligence, creativity and freedom that made us all feel kind of high, and anything seemed possible.
Anyway. It's awesome how so many of us have gone on to bigger and better things, and have stayed connected over the last couple of years. Kudos to all!

Say what you will about Jobster, but senior management there did an outstanding job of hiring a pretty amazing crowd of people with a pretty intense entrepreneurial spirit.

The list of those that have gone on to play significant roles in new ventures would easily make this list 2-3x.
The pure concentration of talent inside the walls of Jobster was staggering to me even at the time.
