How they describe themselves: Kony Solutions provides a suite of products and support services that enable Fortune 500 companies to offer consumers feature-rich mobile applications in less time and at lower costs than any other solution available. The Kony Mobile Application Platform provides a complete mobile development, deployment and production platform, which supports all mobile systems on the market today, including every major device, operating system, and mobile browser. Kony’s Write Once, Run Everywhere technology allows businesses to engage with customers anywhere, anytime via any mobile device, operating system (OS) or channel.

What they think makes them better: It’s our Write Once, Run Everywhere technology. A single application definition enables mobile offerings to be designed and developed just once, in a device independent manner, and deployed across multiple channels, including:

• Smartphones and tablets
• Device-optimized mobile websites
• SMS/MMS
• Web gadgets (iGoogle, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
• Desktop applications

Kony currently supports more than 8,000 mobile devices and popular operating systems.
Kony also “future-proofs” its client’s mobile investment by allowing for simultaneous upgrades to all native applications via its singular application definition. This Change Once, Change Everywhere ability reduces maintenance, upgrade and future development costs.

How they describe themselves: Ideon is the leading product innovation partner for top financial institutions in North America and Europe. One of our flagship solutions is Choice Savings. Choice Savings generates significant value to retail bank customers and the bank itself, and is targeted at those banks whose objectives are to grow deposit volume, lower deposit costs, increase deposit maturities, increase customer satisfaction, and increase penetration in new customer segments, while improving operational efficiency. Choice Savings is an easy to implement, end-to-end solution that can be deployed within your bank in record time – integrated with your operations as either a hosted or custom installation.

What they think makes them better: In these turbulent times Main Street retail bank
customers are looking for ways to save with safety, liquidity, and upside. These combined needs go largely unmet by current deposit products and their “one-size-fits-all” approach. That is why we invented Choice Savings — a bank account 100% customized to the retail client’s individual needs – powered by Ideon’s patent pending solution.

Choice Savings allows bank customers to build their own time deposits by selecting their desired levels of safety, liquidity, and upside – from either guaranteed interest rates or potential stock market-based reward rates.

Are you meeting your customers’ needs? We invite you to Experience the Power of Choice.

How they describe themselves: Jemstep helps individual investors pinpoint the best investments according to their preferences, and describes why each investment is a good fit for them. Investors answer a few profile questions, and Jemstep’s unbiased, proprietary technology sifts through the myriad of investment choices to find their optimal investments. Whether investors are selecting their very first investment, or managing the asset allocation of an established portfolio, Jemstep enables them to make better financial decisions with confidence.

What they think makes them better: Jemstep’s patent-pending technology uses an
individual’s profile to score investments and present them in order of best fit for that individual. While traditional screeners and investment tools present laundry lists of potential investments, they offer little help to individuals in deciding which investments best suit their needs. Jemstep’s unique “Jemscore” helps users understand why certain investments are a better fit than others. Our powerful algorithms rank thousands of funds, stocks, and ETF’s across hundreds of metrics to derive the “Jemscore” for that user. Jemstep’s personalized results enable investors to quickly and easily identify the investments that are right for them.

How they describe themselves: Liqpay.com is the simplest global payment system for end-users. It is an open platform, which allows the creation of a global “ecosystem” of different services, based on the phone # as a global open ID (as opposed to a card number, passport, login, etc). Liqpay.com provides money-send services for end users allowing money transfers in the easiest and most secure manner possible, with the help of only a mobile phone, the internet, and cards all over the world. Liqpay.com offers a rich set of APIs (for developers), and is available for anybody. Liqpay.com’s vision for their customers is that in principle if you have a mobile phone, you already own an account in Liqpay.com – i.e. all 4 billion mobile phone owners already have them.

What they think makes them better: Simply put, Liqpay.com is the most simple payment system in the world. To make a money transfer you only need to know an individual’s phone number. Our key competitive advantages are: 1) openness of the system – no need to be registered before-hand, 2) independence with both mobile operators and banks, 3) highest level of security (thanks to one-time password technology), 4) worldwide usage – no limits in countries, mobile operators and banks, 5) simple and cost effective business model (per transaction basis), 6) all-in-one solution for online business (set of APIs), and 7) possibility of using online technology on the “ground” to withdraw cash from ATMs and pay at POS’s without using payment cards (already launched in Russia and Ukraine at about 10,000 ATMs). No other tool in the global market currently approaches online payments with such security and comfort.

This approach substantially reduces the cost of development and maintaining applications across different channels even while increasing the agility to respond to emerging market demands.

How they describe themselves: Kapitall is a fun way to become a better investor. Modeled after video games, Kapitall combines the world’s friendliest investing experience with powerful yet simple tools to build your skills – and maybe even your portfolio.

We believe investing is an adventure – it’s fun, it’s challenging, and the more you get into it, the more you get out of it. But most investing sites are kind of a drag – they’re confusing, boring or just plain ugly. It’s our mission to make the experience of investing as rewarding as the results.

By combining the first “drag & drop” investing interface with the engaging design of video games, we intend to make the market a fun place to grow for a whole new generation of investors. Much in the way Apple popularized personal computing and the Wii broadened the reach of gaming, we believe this will help more people than ever connect with the world of investing.

What they think makes them better:

• Explore with ease: enjoy the first “drag & drop” investing interface
• Analyze like a pro: find the right investments for you with intuitive research tools
• Share knowledge: collaborate and compete with friends and other Kapitallists
• Track your progress: watch your experience level – and your assets – grow
• Start anytime: no membership fees, minimums or brokerage account required

How they describe themselves: iBear Com. Ltd. is a privately-held self-funded company based in Russia (Barnaul). It is founded by former graduate students of the Altai State Technical University. The team has great background and experience in developing multifunction and multi-platform applications, including solutions for iPhone and Google Android.

iBearMoney is a mobile application for iPhone. It helps manage personal cash flow, track assets and liabilities – all in the palm of the hand. It is developed to satisfy the needs of the rapidly growing mobile-driven society that spends more and more time on the go.

What they think makes them better: Most of the basic mobile financial applications track expenses only, more advanced ones track income and expense transactions, but none of them analyze “why” and “how” cash flow is generated. With iBearMoney it becomes possible. It is a complete personal finance management tool available anytime and anywhere with the user data protected and stored on the device only.

iBearMoney has an intelligent analysis component, which helps analyze relations between income-expenses and assets-liabilities. The “What-if” modeling component allows the user to try different strategies to improve the cash flow and balance.

How they describe themselves: Partnerships are in deployment with the launch of our patient discount platform, www.IOUSOS.com. Our healthcare solutions enhance caregiver’s abilities to drive revenues from patient self-pay accounts. We are processing more than $20MM in patient account receivable volume currently. With more healthcare partnerships closing within 60 days, we anticipate patient account receivable volume exceeding $35MM this quarter. The patient self-pay market exceeds $200B annually in the US (US healthcare is a $2.2 trillion annual market), and with our existing pipeline of clients, we forecast approximately 75 healthcare partnership clients by the end of 2009, with annual patient payment volume approaching $75MM.

What they think makes them better: IOUSOS.com addresses the crisis confronting consumers and healthcare providers today. 21% of Americans today report problems with medical bills according to Gallup. 20,000 people in the US die each year due to inadequate health coverage. 700,000 Americans enter bankruptcy each year due to unpaid medical bills, with more financial problems for consumers anticipated due to rising unemployment, underinsured consumers and escalating healthcare costs. Our unique financial solutions focus on helping tens of millions of Americans increase the affordability of their healthcare costs which are spiraling out of control today, posing a major social and economic crisis in this country today.

How they describe themselves: iThryv, LLC is a socially conscious technology company founded to provide a unique solution to help people gain financial literacy. iThryv was developed as an extension of the current online banking system and is aimed at offering people a new tool to manage money and simultaneously increase their financial awareness. The iThryv platform was constructed with many patented capabilities that extend what financial institutions now deliver through online banking. Instead of just delivering transactional capabilities, we have built in intelligent content delivery, a frequent flyer mile like incentive system, a savings score, a Widget based model or feature delivery, and many other unique capabilities. Our technology also allows us to create flavors that are specifically targeted to constituent groups. For instance, our first three flavors are for young people – ages 5 to 11, 12 to 17 and 18 to 24.

What they think makes them better: Providing a single Web service that can aggregate content and services from all over the financial space, onto one platform supplied through online banking.
