COMPANY INTRO
We are building an internet startup (Web 2.0 type), in financial services. The
offering is a first of its kind, meaningful interactive platform, clearly
differentiated through implementation of unique information structuring and
design principles applied to financial information (patent pending)
Over the last year the team has converted what was a mere idea to a product
where the aha jumps out. The present go-to-market stage is an exciting time for
us - encouraged by the "wow" response from users, and are looking to launch the
platform in Q3 of 2009.
People in our close group of mentors and our seasoned angel investors / advisers
call it a 'Big swing at a large space'. The unique platform, executed right in
the marketplace, will be disruptive to the I-Banking business. We expect to
redefine at the fundamental level, how individuals, both institutional and
retail, access and use business news/information, and how corporations raise
capital from public.
