Agreed with your sentiments.

It's much better to work on contract with the oil and gas firms. In this way you will definitely be in the 100K-180K range (at a minimum). It also offset's the domain issue a bit as you can move around.

Usually the start-ups are working on product that relates to oil and gas anyways.

How do you find these startups?

I largely find them through networking connections - I know a bunch of people in the "start up" community and subscribe to a few networking mailing lists.

Digital Alberta and Pints & Pixels are both good sources for information.
