You also need to repeat yourself. It asks your current position (on the same page!), time there and primary skill. Um, isn't that on my CV? If you're standardizing on LinkedIn, shouldn't you be smart enough to prase that information?
This kind of site seems to be promoting itself on the illusion of exclusivity. You need to be invited (OMG will they let me in?!?!?!) based on the premise that they have startup jobs. But do they? How many? Why can't I just browse them? Good jobs sell themselves.
What's more, recruitment doesn't work like this. The primary means of finding work, particularly in smaller companies is (in my experience) referrals. You'll often find this with (particularly early stage) companies: the team know each other.
Secondly this promise of early access is most often associated with unethical recruiting practices lime CV harvesting, particularly without any evidence of the number or type of jobs allegedly available (prer-invitation).
Basically the are better options than this at finding these kinds of jobs.

"Referred applicants are given preference and referring additional candidates weighs positively in both your and their consideration."
Feels like a scam. I wonder if anyone from any of the companies listed as a participating company can vouch for this.
Most tech people with a good resume would be reluctant to to "give" something upfront for free like a full resume/personal info because there are less painful options.
I would like to see this site either lessen their standard for required info or offer a data collateral (i.e. glassdoor.com shows you salary info for the pain of signing up).
