most of those sites use the nofollow tag, so they won`t work as backlink`s, on google at least.

Can anyone explain why they do this?  "They" including StartupNation?

I can not answer specifically for "them"... but, there are essentially a few reasons to use a nofollow tag:

It prevents the link to be indexed (by Google). Different search engines treat nofollow differently.

It is used to control of page rank. Simply stated, nofollow stops your page rank from leaking to linked external site. - although some argue the effectiveness of this practice.

Similarly, stopping page rank leak to less important internal pages.

However, sites (especially forums, blogs, and directories) that employ nofollow become less valuable to the website owner who posts on the forum, blog, or has a directory link.
 
In other words, my post on a forum that does not use nofollow helps my site (SEO) more than a post on SUN.

If you are wanting to acquire backlinks then you will want to focus on sites that provide Do Follow links. You can use SEOQuake to check if your links are No Follow or Do Follow and its a free download. If the link is No Follow its value is limited to generating traffic.
However, be sure to add quality content or comments in exchange for those links. That way its a win/win for everyone.
Many sites use No Follow to eliminate the site from being used for link building purposes. I believe it is a short sighted approach but it is what it is.

This is an awesome thread. Question and answer sites are very helpful for discussion and you are free to submit your links but carefully.

A backlink is a reference comparable to a citation. The quantity and sources of backlinks for a web page are among the factors that Google's PageRank algorithm evaluates in order to estimate how important the page is. The PageRank score is, in turn, one of the variables that Google Search uses to determine how high a web page should go in search results.This weighting of backlinks is analogous to citation analysis of books, scholarly papers, and academic journals.
