How they describe themselves: FlexScore was created by two financial advisors to gameify the financial planning process by giving you a score based on how well you are doing with your money and the financial decisions you make. Using a web-based platform, users receive their score based on unique goals they set for themselves. To improve the score (financial health), users earn points by completing recommended action steps that move them closer toward their own goals.
How they describe their product/innovation: FlexScore gives you total financial clarity wrapped up in a single score. Until now, there has never been a product or service that truly meets the needs of both the financial advising community and your average everyday household that has a need to plan financially and find appropriate (not “sold” with high commissions and kickbacks) products and services to solve its problems. Over the last 3 years we’ve been developing this web-based financial planning service to benefit both consumers and advisors. We are announcing at FinovateSpring 2014 that FlexScore has created an Advisor version.

How they describe themselves: EXCESS RETURN develops new generation investment tools for the financial community. The concept dates back to 2005, and the original idea was to generate automatic research notes (REPORTS) on any company listed on the stock market, worldwide, without human intervention. Far from being a simple summary of boring raw financial data, this REPORT had to interpret the figures in a clear language. The REPORT had to reach the same degree of professionalism than one being written by a financial analyst. SCREENER/REPORT is an automatic tool that brings an immediate and crystal clear diagnosis on a trading opportunity.
How they describe their product/innovation:
- SCREENER
Open the trading ideas box. Find the most promising stocks thanks to our SCREENER module.
- REPORT
Buy? Hold? Sell? Easy to use decision tool, our REPORT module.
