1) Assuming you want to work for an existing startup, I would avoid generic job sites like Monster. Instead I would look into sites that focus on startups such as http://www.startuply.com/ and jobs offered by the Y Combinator set of companies: http://news.ycombinator.com/jobs. Do as much reading as possible into the type of role you want to provide and how willing you are to take a risk on a company which may or may not be successful.

2) If you are looking to create your own business, make sure you are getting in for the right reasons. Looking to make a quick buck with an overnight viral app is not a plan. Make sure you work on a plan for a business that provides legitimate value to the market, and try to think of how your particular skillset makes you the most qualified person to start that business.
