Yesterday I attended TechCrunch London, an event put together by TechCrunch Europe.
I couldn’t live blog the event, as there was no working wi-fi. Other than that, I think the event was a success. The venue was very nice, the talks were inspiring and the startups who presented were very interesting.
You can find pics of the event on Facebook and Flickr (different sets).
These are the companies that launched yesterday.
Fiabee is a spanish company that presented an online backup solution that focuses on security and ease of use.
Notion Learning is an e-learning web application developed by two London-based students. They have some tough competition, but they had some fairly unique points. Keep an eye on them.
Audioboo is an audio microblogging platform, much like Twitter, but with audio. Posts are kept to at most three minutes long, though for most of us, that’s all we need.
Winner: Festbuzz provides crowsourced reviews about festivals (starting in the Edinburgh area). They’re making the traditional Festival word-of-mouth digital
Kohive is an online collaboration tool with a desktop-like interface. It has many applications and is going the freemium way (plus iphone app). The interesting part is they are building a platform for other developers, and thus have an app store.
Kyubid was a fun presentation. They are developing a new dating site based on bidding (but not with real money, put it away).
Aware Monitoring is, as the name suggests, a monitoring service. It’s SaaS based and it goes behind your login monitoring every component of your web application.
3rd: Social Safe is an application that lets you back up your Facebook friends, photos and profile to your computer. You can keep track of all your posts, and finally own your content.

En-twyn.com presented a complete high speed networking solution that enables you to connect your media devices and your environmental management devices to the same network running through the power sockets in the home. Think wi-fi and hdtv all around your place.
Mywidz.se is a mobile service that gives users worldwide the power to collect, share and create mobile widgets, independent of subscription, phone brand or nationality. Think an app store for every phone.
2nd: Mixcloud’s vision is to be the YouTube of radio with on-demand radio shows spanning music and talk and truing to make it make it more social, personalised and ‘democratic’.
After those pitches, and some other inspiring talks, the Seedcamp folks came along and we rocked it all night long with a very nice party and networking event.
