Today, New York. Tomorrow, Boston and the world.

LendingRobot and Wallaby Financial were among the five companies to win the 2014 Innotribe Startup Challenge in New York last week. The two companies will join fellow winners, Epiphyte, Juntos Finanzas, and Standard Treasury – as well as winners from competitions held in Singapore and London – for the final competition in Boston this September where an overall winner for 2014 will be crowned.

LendingRobot demoed its technology at FinovateSpring 2014 in San Jose. The company’s solution not only helps investors manage their P2P loan portfolios, but also uses automation to help them compete against experienced and institutional investors who themselves use technology to spot the best loans available from companies like Lending Club.

Wallaby Financial helps consumers choose which credit card in their wallet is the optimal one to use with any given transaction. Demoing its Wallet Boost technology as part of the FinovateSpring show in 2013, Wallaby was recently in the news announcing a new service called WalletUp. Available from its new partner, CreditCards.com, WalletUp makes it even easier for consumers to have and use the best mix of credit cards for them.
Also participating in the Innotribe competition in New York were a handful of other Finovate alums including CUneXus, Socure, and Digital Retail Apps. See FinovateSpring 2014 demos of CUneXus here, and Digital Retail Apps here. Socure’s demo from FinovateFall 2013 is available here.
