How they describe themselves: SelfScore.com is a consumer analytics company working on a disruptive idea that will supplement FICO scores using our “scoring as a service” and “data as a service” models. Financial metrics are often used to inform a wide array of business decisions today. However, scores such as FICO are limited in their scope and are regularly misapplied in a variety of situations. Simply put, creditworthiness is often misused as a substitute for credibility. Going forward, SelfScore is able to measure consumers in better ways using more information.

How they describe their product/innovation: SelfScore.com is a consumer analytics service that uses a proprietary algorithm to combine online profiles, phone and sensor data, psychometric questions, and 360 degree feedback from one’s network to provide insights to users and contextual information to businesses. We believe that with new advances in the social web and smartphones, it is now possible to attain a complete, timely, and accurate picture of consumer behavior that benefits both consumers and businesses.

How they describe themselves: It is a payment system that provides a secure, chip-based debit card, a card reader that connects to any smartphone or tablet, and an app for managing transactions. Sr. Pago enables individuals and small businesses to have access to banking related services without having to formally enter the regulated banking system in Mexico. While it is available to consumers and small businesses in Mexico with traditional bank accounts, it sees the greatest opportunity for impacting the “unbanked” population in Mexico. The unbanked segment comprises approximately 70% of the population.

How they describe their product/innovation: With Sr. Pago, small businesses and individuals can both accept card payment for services they render and then have that money loaded onto a card that can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted. It seeks to provide a secure ecosystem for a population that has been subjected to the high fees associated with check cashing, the inconveniences of using convenience stores to perform basic banking functions, and the security risks of carrying cash for everyday transactions.
