European Startup companies, especially those from the non-Anglophone regions of the continent, have been under-represented and overshadowed by their English counterparts in the media. Europeanstartups.com hopes to alter the balance of power. The site is a forum for the employees of all startups based in Europe, and fosters a dialogue and publicizes the companies through blog entries by CEOs, discussion boards and debates, and a featured a “startup of the month.” Every company has a profile page that lists information, including location, tagline, employees and company objectives. The site encourages CEOs to submit information in a variety of languages to reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of the companies.
“EuropeanStartups, founded on September 25th, 2007, is a weblog dedicated to spread a word about European Web 2.0 and 3.0 startups.”
European Startups is a great resource for those looking to learn about and discover companies outside of the English-language sphere.
How can the information be presented in a more coherent manner? While everything that is included on the site is great (discussion boards, jobs, etc) the presentation is not eye-catching and a little overwhelming.
