There are plenty of hot and innovative technology startups in the Netherlands – for us Mynameise, kimengi, IRL connect, Nulaz and mobypicture are the five most promising ones.
Amsterdam-based cloud service Mynameise.com allows you to manage and share multiple identities and enables you to make an online ‘business card’ for every occasion. Founded by Renato Valdés Olmos, E provides its users with a selection of tools to connect, amongst them a highly compatible connector which stores around 265 contacts.

In Real Life (IRL) is the only presence-based social networking company. Founder and CEO Frank Schuil created a web-centered visual social network that allows you to see on Google Maps what your friends from all your social networks and social media are doing and enables you to interact with them. The company’s first product IRL Connect can also be applied to the business environment. Last week at the Benelux Venture Forum in Ghent, IRL was selected as one of the most promising startups. The Nulaz platform is one of the core products of Amsterdam-based mobile services company M2Mobi.com: With Nulaz you can see where your friends are, share locations, and view local info. Nulaz partners with lots of location based information sources and is available over all networks and operating systems. In addition to Michiel Munneke’s pitch shot at the Plugg conference, you can watch Nulaz’ CEO and co-founder in a pitch from Le Mobile 2.0.
Mobypicture.com allows you to get all the media on your mobile device to your blogs and other social outlets and thus lets you share your adventures with your friends realtime. Just like above-mentioned IRL Connect, mobypicture is a 2009 Red Herring 100 Europe winner as one of the most promising and innovative technology companies in the EMEA region.
