I blogged about it earlier and now the moment of truth RESULT TIME ! I’m glad Kwiqq is one of the companies going to San Francisco with the delegation.
Overall the judge’s feedback was very positive:
Doug Richard (Dragon’s Den): “some of these companies are as good as anything coming out of the Valley”.
Mike Butcher (Techcrunch UK): “We were all really impressed with the quality of the applications.”
Heller Ehrmann (sponsors of the event): “The sheer volume of applicants provides convincing evidence of the depth and breadth of emerging growth technology companies in the UK. The shortlist of companies selected demonstrates that the UK is able to produce credible web businesses.”
Some of the companies I’m looking forward to meet:
Coull - Interactive video platform
Byteplay (dotHomes) - Real estate search engine
Hubdub - News prediction social network
WAYN - travel and lifestyle social networking community
TrustedPlaces - Venue recommendation network
Mydeo - Mainstream application for storing and sharing video
Silobreaker - Contextual and graphic search results
edocr - Making business documents interactive
