Yesterday Properazzi came in 3rd out of a pool of 250 companies in a competition to find innovative European web2.0 startups. The final was held in Bilbao; although it was raining, we were inside the fabulous Guggenheim museum for the presentations.

It was a fun trip, and congrats to the 1st and 2nd place teams from Sclipo and 5min. They’re both video sites focused on skills, but have very different products and target markets.

All three winners come from cities on the beach with great food and climate (2x Barcelona and Tel Aviv); was the jury making a statement favoring a kind of lifestyle?
