Le Web ‘08 Roundup

December 16th, 2008

Looking around at the Le Web Goodie bag contents on coworkers’ desks, makes me want to share with Nimbuzz fans, how everything went.

Le Web held a startup competition of 30 companies from Europe, and a few from the US, across a wide range of sectors and Nimbuzz was nominated to be part of it. Unfortunately we did not win, but we met a lot of inspiring people there.

Winner of the event was Viewdle, which won the “Gold”, followed by Webnode (Silver) and Zoover (Bronze). Silentale was winner of the “People’s Choice” award.

What we’ve learned is that we should have brought an extra sweater and our own internet :) , but there were also many great discussions. One of them in particular about the differences between European and US startups. Check out the video and make up your own mind. Comments are welcome.

Congratulations to all participants and winners, it was a pleasure.
