E has been voted as best start-up during The Next Web conference is Amsterdam. The social networking tool, meant to bridge the real and virtual world, was elected as best start-up by the jury as well as the audience of the conference.

After their successful pitch (see blog below) on Thursday, the reward came on Friday: E won the competition out of 20 ambitious start-ups! But that was not the only good news for E last week.

Yesterday E had the honor to pitch at The Next Web conference. Out of 200 start-ups E was selected to announce their latest developments on main stage. The most important one; the prototypes arrived.

Within half an hour after the pitch over 80 tweets appeared, all being very positive.
