Startups from Finland: Floobs - Ustream.tv clone with Mobile Ambitions

As this Finnish startup says on their home page: “Floobs.com is a new service offering Community Created Live TV-channels.” aka a Ustream.tv or Stickam clone. But Floobs comes with the traditional Finnish twist: mobile. They are developing their own mobile client and also a mobile version of their site (mobile.floobs.com). They are angel funded, employ nine people and “are looking to hire more”.

They are currently running a beta in Finnish and they will launch the beta in English “soon”. I wish the company founded by two young ambitious men the best of luck, but they will have a big struggle in front of them in making the service a success beyond Finnish borders.

There is a good roundup of Floobs’ bigger competitors at TechCrunch.
