StartupDorf

A new website which aims at connecting entrepreneurs in the Dusseldorf area has gone online recently, largely unnoticed: StartupDorf.

At the moment, the functionality is limited to a mashup which displays startups in the area on a map of Dusseldorf.

This idea is of course not novel: There are already quite a couple of sites (and maybe this, although not limited to startups) trying to maintain a catalogue of interesting startups in the area (not to forget this wonderful blog post, of course).

However, none of these existing sites are complete, and StartupDorf seems to offer quite a nice list. More community can clearly do no harm. And, finally, I love the name StartupDorf and the way their logo plays with the city's official new logo.
