Seedcamp finalists…the 21..23 actually

Well the second round has happened, and a shortlist for the seedcamp week has been announced, and Vouchacha is still there, nice one Ben.

Advertag – London, UK -Advertag is a semantic, non-hierarchic, tag-based list and search system. It allows users to submit any advert-style listing in the vein of Gumtree or Craigslist to a self-ordering, semantic database that allows the extremely fast, accurate and user-friendly retrieval of those adverts


Boxed Ice – Bromsgrove, UK - A server monitoring app, seen lots of these


Brainient – Bucharest, Romania - Video technology, I think its there layered brain offering, which is really cool, layering info/ads over video


Codility – Warsaw, Poland - The software assesses tech skills, hence helps in pre-screening candidates


Comufy – London, UK -Allows you to link together all you different modes of communication


Erply – Estonia - No idea :-)


Joobili – Budapest, Hungary - They basically tell you where and when events are happening around the globe, so you can plan you travel better.


Kukunu – London, UK - Again something to do with making travel better


Loc8 Solutions – Edinburgh, UK - Their tech allows you to build mobile phone apps quicker and cheaper than software development companies


Patients Know Best – Cambridge, UK - Allowing individuals to connect into the NHS, I guess by viewing records, and interacting with specialists themselves. I just don’t understand the entire home page :-)


Petsicon – Berlin, Germany - A information source for dog health


Plug in SEO – London, UK - I think the name says it all.


ShoutEm – Zagreb, Croatia - Allows you to build your own microblogging social network


Pearl Systems – Bristol, UK - Web based accounting, crm.


Talasim.com – Amman, Jordan - I think its to do with entertaining content to the mobile phone. Would be great if someone could interpret the website


Teachable – London, UK - Teaching resources by teachers


Vooices – Wigan, UK - Phone controlled realtime, multiplayer application platform. In the “queens english” it allows you to control games and applications using your voice.


VouChaCha – London, UK - Location based voucher system for the mobile phone. No more lost coupons, all on a phone, when you want them, where you want them


Wondergraphs – Leuven, Belgium - I don’t know, but am guessing its to do with graphs.


World on a Hanger – London, UK -Web based software for clothes manufacturers do enable them to manage the end-to-end process.


YubiTech – Ramat Gan, Israel - Seems to ease the problem of developing apps for various mobile platforms.

Kwaga- France -Manage email better

Platogo - Austria - Social gaming network for browser based games.

And that’s it, no more. Good luck to one and all. My favourites in no order are

1. Vouchacha, the world really needs a popular phone based coupon system

2. World on a Hanger - A perfect niche market, not exciting, not something I would use, but a good business.

3. Brainient - Just like the concept

4. Yubitech - This is so needed

Several do not seem to at first sight have a clear customer set, which will be a problem, but then I am not privy to their business models, hence I maybe wrong.
