Dutch Startup Flogs Raises €2M for Event Synchronizing Tool

http://www.flogs.com/

Maintaining a full calendar is always a tough task for users, whether it involves sharing, scheduling, or simply showing up. Dutch startup Flogs raised a €2M ($2.9M) round of funding from a group of private investors and the Dutch Government. The software company has its sights on building an international presence with their digital organizing software. With this new round of funding Flogs will further develop its sharing and synchronizing features.

Founded in 2008 by Michiel Mol, Bram van Gestel and current CEO Toon Timmermans the software company has developed a flexible event aggregate tool. The tool allows users to share event schedules: sporting events, concerts, CD releases, films, and art shows (to name a few) over multiple calendars. Should the time or date change for an event it's automatically adjusted in an user's calendar via Flogs.

Nonetheless, are users more concerned with sharing events across platforms or scheduling them? Improving scheduling capabilities over multiple platforms has been the business focus for both Tungle and Timebridge. Each service caters to "business professionals." As this sector of service continues to develop overall, Flogs has an opportunity to demonstrate how well its solution meets user needs in both an entertainment and leisure space.

(The service is compatible with Outlook, iCal, Windows Live, Google Calendar, and works well on a PC, Mac, PDA, iPhone or smartphones.)
