Startime International is an imprint of Columbia Records in New York City started and run by Isaac Green.

Green moved to Los Angeles and out of his apartment started the label, armed with one band, the French Kicks. Startime's first release was the Kick's EP Young Lawyer in late 2000, and since then the label's roster has grown significantly with bands picked by Green not for their marketability but for sheer talent. This has paid off with a lot of indie cred points, and with more major labels looking to sign away Startime's acts like Brendan Benson and The Walkmen. One compilation of Startime acts has been released, called Supercuts.
