Kwaga @ Life is Better On & OpenCoffeeParis














Kwaga was selected by OpenCoffeeParis to present a 4-minute pitch at last evening's "Life is Better On" event, along with 9 super-fly startups.

The venue was a hip club in the center of Paris, near the former stock exchange, packed with 700 of the web's smartest and nicest people in attendance :-) Amongst them, Fabrice Epelboin (Read Write Web, TechTocTV), Philippe Duhamel (Ilixo), Arnaud Coulondre (AllMyApps.com ), Alexandre Guilly (mailforgood), and Kamel Zeroual (Stribe).

Was it the sheer excitement of LeWeb opening the following morning, fatigue, or the open bar? Not entirely sure but frankly few cared to listen to Orange present the latest lab projects they've been working on. With such an ominous start the organizers wisely cancelled the startups' presentations, and so we danced.

What did you miss? Take a look at slideshare:


Also, links to the 9 other winners and more on:
  • Aladom , which allows you to easily find providers for housekeeping, babysitting, elderly care or other home assistance. Their blog.
  • Leetchi.com a web service allowing you to create online kitties. Very useful for presents you want to co-fund with friends.
  • Allmyapps provides you with the easiest way to install your PC: select your favorite application on Allmyapps' site and install them on your PC at once! Their blog.
Looking forward to Open Coffee 2010!
