We prefer the term 'virtual technology incubator', which makes it clearer that we're specifically focused on technology and that we run a very light-weight model - very different from the traditional bricks and mortar classic approach in this field. SeedCamp is definitely looking interesting and there's also the Google Developer Day coming up next week in London, which is always a good opportunity to mingle and spot the next big idea.

Very interesting. I have been (and still am) searching for a great solution to my password-related problems (I know you guys do more than that), but I don't think it exists yet. Currently I use encrypted volumes. Everything seems so fuzzy in the space right now. The pieces to the puzzle are in front of us, but nobody (as far as I can tell) has assembled them yet (in a great way -- for the user). I think it is a big opportunity (everybody online needs and many will pay), but I agree that cryptographic stuff should be open-source so people who know how can "trust, but verify" (and publish results, debate, test, improve the system, etc.). Looking forward to checking out ClipperZ more! Cheers again, Chris PS: This is what I want: 2-factor authentication with my MOBILE PHONE being the token (and some security around that -- lots of options there). Was just checking out ClipperZ.

As it happens I will be in Vancouver next week (Monday / Tuesday). Any chance for a meet up?
