LinkedIn was just one of the companies making news this week in the Bay area. Here are others who’ve made headlines – and who are looking to grow quickly.

EventBrite announced $50M in series E funding earlier this week. The company, which recently moved into bigger office digs in San Francisco that will enable them to double in size, plans to increase headcount by roughly 25%— or another 60 employees by year’s end. Many of these jobs will be in Customer Service; they want to answer your phone call as fast as they can. But they have jobs across the company, from Accounting, Engineering and Marketing to Sales and Quality Assurance.

Also on the fast track to double in size is Practice Fusion, a San Francisco based company that helps hospitals and healthcare systems with the Federally mandated transition to electronic health records (EHR). This week, Practice Fusion announced their goal of doubling staff from 75 to 150 by December; they are also looking for more office space to accommodate staff.
