Last summer, plista closed a Series B round with Dumont Ventures and Hightech Gründerfonds. Now the company is preparing to raise more capital.

TechCrunch Europe sat down with CEO Dominik Matyka at this week’s Next2010 in Berlin. According to Matyka, who heads up a team of about 30, they have 4 VC term sheets on their desk and the new round is expected to happen within the next 8 weeks. The aim is outperform the last round and raise $5 million.

The new financing round is likely to fund plista’s expansion into the French and Austrian markets within the coming months and their larger plan to expand their reach into continental Europe later this year.

Founder and CEO Alex Savic presented his company NextWidgets at this week’s next2010 in Berlin. The company’s product creates fully transactional banners for websites and facebook pages that enables anyone to integrate their online retail store into a banner.

TechCrunch Europe took the opportunity to talk to Savic about what is next for the Swiss startup, including details of a new less intrusive side tab widget.

NextWidgets says it is the first company that lets users to embed a store into their social media profile in an effortless way. This makes the recruitment of fan-based affiliates very cost effective. NextWidgets reads the text of a website and then pulls in the keywords to create a customized offering that is relevant to the context of the content. This means that if you are a car parts retailer, the content of the e-commerce widget will match the blog or site’s content in which it is embedded.

Swiss start-up Memonic lets users to select and collect snippets of websites, documents, and pictures on the web and any offline content for later use.

The Swiss startup will launch a new collaboration feature in the coming months that will enable the user to retrieve information anywhere. It is stored at Memonic, which makes it independent of its original source. So if you need the information, lets say, 6 months later, snippets can be shared, sent, etc.

“In the last years new technologies have sparked an explosion of published information. This in turn lead to great developments in the creation and searching of information. What we are missing though is an effective tool to capture the relevant information and actually work with it”, says co-founder and CEO Selz, who is spearheading the team of six.

During the next10 conference in Berlin, TechCrunch Europe had a chance to sit down with Michael Schade, CEO of mobile game developer Fishlabs. The company builds games for iPhone and iPad in the “high quality and premium segment”. He talked about Fishlabs’ latest release and its future plans, including a new funding round.

At the conference today, Fishlabs announced a brand new iPhone ad game for Volkswagen’s Touareg, their 4th game for VW. The app allows the user to experience the car, book a test drive, and more.

During his presentation at next10 today in Berlin, Jolicloud founder and CEO Tariq Krim talked up the move to HTML5 (via Google’s Chrome browser engine) and indicated that the company’s netbook OS will open up to 3rd party developers within a couple of weeks. Krim has garnered a lot of attention for the free cloud-based operating system, which recently exited beta.

To keep up with the latest industry trends, Jolicloud is in the process of moving their entire system to HTML5, which Krim describes as a “virus that will spread over all browsers and platforms”. He says it will enable the cloud to become “offline friendly” and that this represents “a major disruption in the distribution of software.”
