Launch event at IPAN

This evening IPAN organised a launch party at which several start-ups presented themselves. Very good to see the start-up spirit and a lot of these new webcompanies present themselves. I particularly liked the following:

Fleck - they already got a lot of coverage and of course they were present tonight at this "homeparty" for Boris and Patrick (the founders). For the people that missed the buzz around fleck's launch; fleck is a so-called annotation service. Do check out their product! Really looking forward to the social networking functions fleck will offer soon...

Leadz.nl - a nice services platform that mimicks the "old" letsbuyit.com but then for products. People can either co-shop or just put their request out so that service providers can bid on it. Nice move into services!

ToMap - also a cool new service: it allows people to find and select events on Google Maps. It is an open site and anyone can add events to the map/system. A nice new feature is that you can download a KML file of the event (to your mobile phone) which contains the location info for the mobile version of Google maps

Swoot - I also met Swoot on the innovation playground event in November and they have a great product for your browser. They have developed software that enables you to build a (branded) skin for your internet explorer but it really looks like a different browser or some kind of widget. Really nice to see and it can even adapt it's skin to the site you're browsing. Really cool innovation.

There we're a lot of other nice startups like; start12, blogads, rasasa (which I'm already a happy user of), originalsignal, 14dayz, yelloyello (social, web2.0 version of the yellow pages), watvindenwijover.nl, muziekkaart.nl, sharecare and others. Do check out their sites.

It was a nice event with a quite a good number of people. Well done event IPAN!
