Library House the essential source on fast-growth, innovation-led private companies across Europe, has revealed its 2008 Mediatech 100 in association with New Media Age. The Mediatech 100 is a list of Europe’s hottest private media technology companies likely to have the biggest impact on the industry in the future.
Despite the current economic climate, Library House data indicates that venture capital investment remains as steady as it has been in previous years. Andrea Favale, CEO of Library House commented: "Our Mediatech 100 includes some impressive companies and shows the strength of European venture capital in this sector and more widely. It’s very encouraging to see the number of businesses that are being financed and their potential.”
Skinkers is a privately funded technology company with two successful products:
- The Live Notification Platform; an enterprise communication solution which effectively reduces cost and increases bottom line value.
- Livestation; an Internet broadcasting platform that allows users to visit the entire world of broadcasting via their computer.
Skinkers ongoing success has resulted in several rounds of venture capital funding and an ‘Equity for Technology’ deal with Microsoft in 2006 which created an outstanding partnership that was recognised earlier this year when they jointly won a UK Technology Innovation and Growth Award.
MediaGuardian have also commended Skinkers ongoing success by giving them an Innovation Award for Media Technology. Brent Hoberman, co-founder of lastminute.com,who chaired the panel of judges for the award said "The judges thought this was a clever and innovative idea; using peer to peer technology whilst reducing broadcasting costs. Theywere very excited about the possibilities for Livestation's technology in the future."
