London Startup Map

This map and many others include digital/creative agencies. They may be startups in the sense of new companies, but if we accept that definition why not include every new lawyer, restaurant, or retailer? Agencies are contractors and they don't own the value they build in a product. I hate to be bitchy and don't begrudge agencies but I think they're fundamentally different to tech startups.

Is there any reason why this site is limited to London startups? Does this geographical restriction add any value over a national startup map?<p>Hint for Londoners: Zoom the map out at bit and it shows other places. These places have names like Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, <i>and are located in the areas of the UK that are not London</i>. People live in these places, and there are startups there too.<p>In fact, there&#x27;s already a good UK startup map: <a href="http://techbritain.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techbritain.com&#x2F;</a>

Social, social, social, social, social, social.<p>I was expecting to see some &quot;non-social&quot; startups in the city...

Inspired by <a href="http://mappedinny.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mappedinny.com&#x2F;</a> here&#x27;s a London version. It was built as an excuse to learn more about Backbone.js and play with MapBox&#x27;s API.<p>Source code here: <a href="https://github.com/rosario/digitalmap" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rosario&#x2F;digitalmap</a>.<p>Any comments and feedback are always welcome

Here&#x27;s a couple of fairly complete ones: <a href="http://batchgeo.com/map/21737d8f2b05adc3ab1b1869979f2695" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;batchgeo.com&#x2F;map&#x2F;21737d8f2b05adc3ab1b1869979f2695</a><p><a href="http://www.techcitymap.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.techcitymap.com&#x2F;index.html</a>

This is being done all over. Here in Miami we have <a href="http://mapyourstartup.co" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mapyourstartup.co</a> which is trying to do this in several locations.

This is a really cheeky one, but is (sortof) relevant. I run an IT consultancy doing the usual desktop&#x2F;server support work, and have worked with a couple of startups. Both decried the lack of decent (cheap!) IT support for developers, so they could focus on developing software rather than fixing PCs, and setting up networks.<p>Does anyone have any suggestions where would be the best place to network with other startups or techie businesses to offer our services to them?

I&#x27;ve just added my hosting company - we&#x27;re a little outside London though (York).

Nice idea. But I&#x27;m either being stupid or it&#x27;s barfing - have completed all fields but getting an &#x27;all fields required&#x27; error.

Good stuff - just added Makeshift :)<p>Such an exciting time to be in London; the scene here is kicking ass right now!

just clicking around and hit a link to aquafide who: &quot;develops and distributed innovative and sustainable water treatment solutions for municipal and industrial customers&quot; but seem to have a website that is &quot;First Car&quot;? very very odd.<p>other than that - neat idea

Nice idea, just added CircuitHub

very nice, do you think it is possible to make it available also for other cities?

Pusher.com isn&#x27;t even listed. I sent a request.
