* Advertag – London, UK
* Boxed Ice – Bromsgrove, UK
* Brainient – Bucharest, Romania
* Codility – Warsaw, Poland
* Comufy – London, UK
* Erply – Estonia
* Joobili – Budapest, Hungary

* Teachable – London, UK
* Vooices – Wigan, UK

Along with the 21 finalists, they will also have Kwaga from France and Platogo from Austria. These teams are winners from the Mini Seedcamp program earlier in the year.
I find the geographical distribution interesting. Out of 21, 12 are from UK (not surprising), but 5 are from Central and Eastern Europe – quite encouraging for those of us from that region. Furthermore 2 are from Western Europe and 2 from the Middle East.
I’ve always wanted to joobili my kukunu.
Web app names are becoming increasingly ridculous… it seems.
Congratulations to all teams, specially to Shout’Em!
Congrats to all the team. I would like to see more enterprise software but I supposed if you have a good idea, you should share it with the world. I wonder if i can get tickets to attend the event?
Congratulations to all the finalists. There look as though there are some cracking ideas there – go forth and conquer!
I LIKE THE ADVERTAG LANDING PAGE
World on a Hanger really seems impressive. Excellent web application, hits an under-served industry and solves a lot of its day to day problems, has an experienced team, creates real value. Well done.
Congratulations to the selected companies! Is there any chance that not selected ones will receive a feedback?

Well done, ShoutEm! Congrats!
“the closed thing Europe has” should be “the closest thing Europe has”?
Also, there should be a competition for most inventive name.
Well done teams! Congratulations.
