How they describe themselves: Based in Denver, Colo., IP Commerce, Inc. is a platform software company that provides dramatically simplified development and deployment of secure commerce solutions. The company’s IP Commerce Platform allows software companies, service providers and distribution channels to collaborate in a new value-chain, and become more innovative and responsive to customer needs in today’s competitive commerce marketplace. IP Commerce opens worlds of commerce.

What they think makes them better: The IP Commerce Platform is the first of its kind. Our competition is the need to do business as usual. The Platform ultimately offers all partners lowered cost of customer acquisition and the opportunity to capture new and greater market share by opening the commerce infrastructure and breaking free from the industry’s current commoditized market. For service providers, the Platform reduces the cost of transitioning end users from hardware to software. Software companies benefit from faster development of commerce-enabled applications, and a larger channel resulting from being part of the IP Commerce Network. The channel expands through more offerings and solution bundles.

How they describe themselves: Jwaala develops innovative software solutions to help financial institutions stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Founded in 2006, Jwaala’s first product is an industry-changing online banking application called MoneyTracker. As an extension to existing online banking applications, MoneyTracker allows financial institutions to quickly and painlessly offer powerful state-of-the-art web based banking applications. From personal financial management to home deposit, personal asset tracking, and customizable personal financial home pages with widgets, MoneyTracker is the future of online banking. See a demo now at www.jwaala.com.

What they think makes them better: Jwaala’s MoneyTracker is in a league of its own. While much press has been written about new financial management websites like Wesabe, Mint, Buxfer, Geezeo, these websites are straight-to-consumer sites that disintermediate financial institutions. Often recommending alternate sources of financing, these sites are disruptive if not competitive to financial institutions. Jwaala’s MoneyTracker was developed for financial institutions so they can deliver the same services while retaining the “eyeballs” of their online customers. As a framework that overlays existing online banking applications, MoneyTracker allows any financial institution to rapidly deploy powerful new online tools easily and at a much lower cost.

What they think makes them better: Loanio believes we will foster a greater level of security and confidence from lenders, provide access to a significantly underserved borrower market, and consequently increase the average number of loan originations.

Some of the site’s highlights include:

• A Co-Borrower (co-signer) feature, which will enable all borrowers, regardless of their credit profiles, the ability to participate.
• An ID and Financial Document Verification service which will provide lenders with enhanced qualitative data on borrowers.
• A feature that allows borrowers to originate a loan when less than 100% of the requested loan is successfully bid upon.
