Kuvva launches at The Next Web and wins award for best B2C startup

Kuvva aims to beautify your digital life. The team behind Kuvva love artists, illustrators, photographers and brands and are on a mission to connect fans with brands. Every week they will invite a new artist to curate a new set of 7 images and give them the opportunity to showcase their work to a creative based audience.

"We know people like to style their profiles with full size images. In 2008 I introduced full screen background advertising on my blog and people loved it! Some space was sold to brands, some was given to creative friends. This resulted in over 100,000 wallpaper downloads in 2010 from people who wanted curated content for themselves, on their desktop," says Nalden and adds "With Kuvva we built on this experience. We have an awesome team of developers, designers and project management making it easy for our users to have quality content streamed to their digital profile."

Kuvva kicked off with Merijn Hos, a highly celebrated illustrator and designer from Holland. Merijn has exhibited in New York, Paris, London, Barcelona, Melbourne and designed an colorful collection of 7 Twitter backgrounds as well as a bonus iPhone wallpaper for Kuvva. Kuvva's first "set of the week" is available since Friday  via Kuvva.com.
