What can a small San Francisco startup do for London’s Hottest startups ??
Hi Tech News, Internet Marketing, Marketing, News, Raising Finance for a Business, Silicon Crossroads, SME World, Social Media Marketing Strategy July 10th, 2012Well it depends who that startup is doesn’t it !! When Eric and Kelly Kim – founders of San Francisco based Twylah found out about the Guardian’s list of the Hottest 20 East London startups ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jul/08/east-london-20-hottest-tech-companies ) they immediately responded with Twylah pages for most of them.
Twylah pages are only given to those companies who fulfill a certain set of criteria. Mainly around the quality of the content produced ( on Twitter ) rather than numbers of followers or numbers of tweets.
What would a Twylah page do to help these startups ??? Well rather than go into great detail here this

is a great blog about Twylah and how it might help. For Pinterest users videos and blogs have been collected here http://pinterest.com/chriswindley/twylah/.
Of course there is a lot of controversy about ” Silicon Roundabout ” with some people saying that no such thing exists; some saying that the area has been a High Tech. area for years and years; some saying these companies are not proper ” High Tech. ” companies – they are ” Media ” development companies etc etc etc

Of course there is considerable controversy in San Francisco aswell – Rents are going through the roof; Talent is difficult to find in these ” boom times ” ( Startup’s must look beyond the U.S. to other countries like e.g. the U.K. , Spain, South America etc ) ; Investors are desperate to invest in the right startups.
Twylah has already become very popular amongst London based Twitter users and it might not be long before Twylah becomes a neighbour of some of the East London startups that it has just supported. Probably a good move then !!
