An awesome start up allowing you to do exactly this and more is http://flowtown.com. Their main feature is allowing you to convert email address into social profiles, you can really learn a lot about a person by what they post online - a great way to learn your customer base online.

Not sure if it applies to all startups but writing case studies or producing info-graphics are great ways to attract attention. http://www.flowtown.com/blog/ are doing great job at the latter and we (http://visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/case-studies.php) try to do a good job at the former
