Following on from a previous post, here’s some more UK startups who I’ve seen recently.

All these companies I’ve seen listed under a variety of blogs, meetups, etc. All of them look interesting!

http://uk.bookingbug.com/ - provides a customisable booking service for various types of meeting organisers with a Freemium-revenue model.

The next three companies are all London based somewhere and they all seem to have some connection with Riversoft - an ex-Richmond, Surrey based company that I recall from a few year’s ago (sadly for the wrong reasons - I remember it collapsing in size fairly dramatically) - these are all possibly Waterloo based - all linked to a incubator company called http://promethyan.com/

http://www.nuvoti.com - I’ve looked at their beta service - it’s interesting to see how search could grow and change - Google is still only 10 years old!

http://www.prelert.com/ - will change the economics of operations management - in some ways this really reminds me of the previous riversoft company.

http://www.rivermuse.com/ - again targeting cost of ownership, this time for event management.

http://kminds.com/ - mobile web 2.0

http://www.aqilla.com/ -accounting 2.0 - especially targeting the cost of ownership of normal accounts packages (a great idea)

http://skimbit.com/ - a product comparison website using social networking - this looks good - feels very similar to something I intended to build once (but using facebook rather than a standalone website) - another one bites the dust!

http://www.plebble.com/ - a ratings community - looks like a nice interface, but possibly a tough place to be right now given reevoo’s recent announcement of their drop in size.

http://www.sweemo.com/ - a nice looking website, aimed at selling “sweet moments” - providing users the opportunity to bid for opportunities to do things- anything from slapping the site’s founder with a fish, to driving a fast car, to hanging out with a band for the day, … - this feels like a bit of a cross between ebay and Red Letter Days - aiming to open up both sides (both selling and buying) of the experience market to the masses.

http://www.skillsmatter.com - you’ll see me mention these guys a lot under meetup type opportunities - they seem a friendly bunch and seem to be organising a lot of techie training opportunities - good on them.

http://www.incuvis.com - one to watch - still very young at the moment, still in stealth mode, but I’ve met them recently and they’ve got some good tech and a great attitude.
