Sclipo wins European StartUp 2.0 award

Posted on May 28, 2007

It is a great feeling, I must say. We started something out of the blue, just believing that a social skills-network makes sense. Now, by winning the first place prize of the European StartUp 2.0 award, we are quite a step closer to knowing that a our social skills-network makes a lot of sense.

Thanks, above all, to our users. Without them, there would be no award.

Thanks to our team - Edwin, Dani, Luis, Otto, Rafi, Sebas, Sergi, Xevi and myself (Gregor) - without them, there would be no Sclipo.

Thanks to the organizers - Alianzo, Spri, La Caixa, First Tuesday, MADRI+D - without them, there would have been no competition and no extra boost of energy and buzz, which a start-up needs like oxygen.

Thanks to all participants - without them, winning would have been … hmm … boring. (Can’t list them here, there were close to 300 hundred).

A special thanks goes to Carlos from nvivo.es - also a finalist in the StartUp 2.0 competition and a wonderful site to find the best concerts in Spain - without his help, connecting with the Basque audience in such an incredible venue like the Bilbao Guggenheim would have been much harder: Eskerrik asko Carlos.
