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. To learn more about My Name is E, please also watch Viktoria’s interview with Renn from AWS Amsterdam.

Kimengi.com - founded by Lucien Burm – is a free service for blogs providing a widget based recommendation technology called f»dforward. The f»dforward widget helps you grow your blog network and stay in touch with your audience by offering insight into what other subjects your readers are interested in. Other than content-focussed Zemanta, blogs work together in the f»dforward network and the widget can be used on any other blog to connect with them.

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. To learn more about Moby’s founder Mathys van Abbe and his other „babies“, watch the serial entrepreneur in his interviews with Viktoria about startpix, spot2.be and Toading.com.

Obviously Renato Valdés Olmos loves different kinds of hats (he wears a summer style hat in this interview and a pretty stylish winter hat at his interview from AWS Amsterdam) and is professionally interested in multiple identities ;) The founder of My Name is E explains: “Mynameise.com is a cloud service that manages multiple identities. People can create any business card they want for each situation they’re in and select and exchange these immediately between any mobile phones. It works all through the browser so you don’t need to download anything“. The Amsterdam-based startup will be offering native iPhone and Android applications very soon and is focussing on getting its API out. Renn believes that competitors Poken (click here for an interview with Poken’s founder Stéphane Doutriaux) and mingle360 „have great products and are actually good for us since they opened the market for personal sharing devices. When we started pitching the idea 2 ½ years ago, people didn’t really feel the need for a service that would manage and share multiple identities. But we operate out of a different kind of philosophy: E is about the cloud service around it. We provide our users with a selection of tools to connect. So we start out with sharing contacts but we want to be your gateway to the world.“ Mynameise monetizes its products and services on three levels: First, on an end user basis by implementing pro features like brandable business cards. Furthermore by offering B2B solutions: The web service in the back end can connect to corporate CRM systems and corporate branding can be added to both software and hardware. Last but not least, they sell their highly compatible connector hardware which stores around 265 contacts. Anybody need a connector for the next conference? Prices range between €5 and €10 and can be purchased at sales@mynameise.com All of Tiburon-TV’s interviews from next09 can be found here.
