Founded in Australia by Evan and Tracy Thornley, moved to SF in 1997 (?). Right before the dotcom crash, a pretender to search supremacy, with an eye on Yahoo! as the company to beat. Still in business at www.looksmart.com but having morphed from a search engine developed by human editors into a search ad network. When I worked there from 1998 to 2000, we were right there in the thick of things off South Park, in the fantastic, renovated warehouse on 2nd Street that the company still occupies. Would you want images of the old home pages that we developed way back when? LookSmart. Founded in Australia by Evan and Tracy Thornley, moved to SF in 1997 (?).

There's design agencies and there's startups. For more completeness, I wonder if you should include web enablers like Laughing Squid and Engine Yard, development firms like Pivotal Labs and media companies like MySpace and Wired.

Also, just for fun, have a couple of dot-bomb blow ups appear for 3 frames ;-) Your list covers just two angles of the web scene in SF, and perhaps that on purpose.
