"We\u2019ve already picked the winner \u2013 Pocket Anatomy \u2013 of our Boost early stage startup program at TNW Europe 2014, but here are a few companies from the demo floor that piqued my interest.\r\n\r\nCompanyMatch\r\n\r\nMost recruiters look at your experience and skills when evaluating candidates for a job, but CompanyMatch wants to add a third dimension: cultural fit. The startup has designed a proprietary quiz that companies can embed on their job pages. For those firms that place a huge priority on cultural fit, CompanyMatch takes a quantitative approach to the challenge.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 CompanyMatch\r\n\r\n\r\nIwaku\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Iwaku wants to help you out with its light therapy lamp. Activating the blue LED light in the device throughout the day can help with SAD and sleep disorders.\r\n\r\nYou can also use Iwaku as a gentle light-based alarm that can track your sleep cycle and slowly wake you up at the right time.\r\nAt \u20AC269, this smart lamp is priced as a niche product, but founder Jochem Reijndorp says the company plans to make the next version more affordable.\r\n\u27A4 Iwaku\r\n\r\nSign2Pay\r\n\r\nEurope\u2019s Chip and Pin smart card payment standard may be secure, but it\u2019s also a huge inconvenience for mobile and e-commerce purchases. Sign2Pay offers an alternative based on inputting your signature on a touchscreen.\r\n\r\nAs you sign for your payments, the Sign2Pay technology learns the unique elements of your signature, making it more even more safe. The company offers an 8-week refund on consumer purchases, while also guaranteeing payments for vendors.\r\n\u27A4 Sign2Pay\r\n\r\n\r\nSpacified\r\n\r\nCalling itself an \u201CAirbnb for commercial real estate,\u201D Spacified offers a marketplace for finding short-term business space. The service is currently available in the Netherlands and Belgium. Sample use cases include pop-up shops, co-working, and events.\r\n\u27A4 Spacified\r\n\r\nWinner Takes All\r\n\r\nWinner Takes All is experimenting with a \u201Ccrowd lottery\u201D as an alternative to official government-run lotteries. Players purchase a single ticket for a weekly drawing, paying an administration fee to Winner Takes All.\r\nThe startup boasts a greater degree of transparency and better odds than existing lottery options. Crowdlotteries are certainly an interesting idea, though I\u2019m curious how these drawings will be regulated to ensure that there\u2019s no cheating or rigging involved.\r\n\u27A4 Winner Takes All\r\n\r\nToolinq\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s difficult for teams to keep track of all the meetings and communications between team members and clients. Toolinq wants to help out with its LinkedIn-based social CRM.\r\nUsers input their meetings and contacts into the app and then keep track of new developments via a timeline and custom notifications.\r\n\u27A4 Toolinq\r\n\r\nYippie\r\n\r\nWhenever I click the buy button on an ecommerce site, I have a nagging worry that some other site might have a better deal. Yippie offers a browser plugin that aggregates product prices lets you know when you can save money on a purchase.\r\nBeta customers in Europe have found they\u2019re saving between 7-8 percent per purchase on average. They also gain about 15 minutes of time from not having to compare prices on different sites.\r\n\u27A4 Yippie\r\nKeep up on all our TNW Europe coverage here.\r\nDon\u2019t\u00A0miss: 15 brilliant hacks from the TNW Conference Kings of Code Hack Battle\u00A0and\u00A0Meet 4 more of Europe\u2019s fastest-growing tech firms: Leetchi, MAG Interactive, Run a Shop, and Hailo\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
