I flew into Dublin today for our first TechCrunch meetup in Ireland (yay!), and as previously blogged, TechCrunch is hooking up with networking event TechLudd to create a real-world mashup we like to call CrunchLudd (see what we did there?)
This morning I rocked up to Dublin’s The Digital Media Hub to meet with a bunch of interesting startups here. I took a few pictures and shot some short video pitches (please excuse the camera shake, it was shot on a mobile phone…)
Here are the pix so far of the trip:
Here’s the short video interviews with RelevantMedia, IGO People, PutPlace (which just launched an open beta), SentryWireless and Digital Media Forum:
