Earlier this week, SigFig announced that it was one of eight startups to win the Windows 8 First Apps Contest.

The contest gave developers three weeks to create an app for the Windows 8 platform that would be available for demo on the Windows 8 consumer preview.

The Windows 8 contest judges were impressed with SigFig:

“SigFig Portfolio allows you to track your financial portfolio from various brokerage accounts, get related news, see how investments perform against major indexes, explore various analytics, track movement in your portfolio, and get investor recommendations. The SigFig team took the opportunity to deliver exciting new features to the SigFig Portfolio app for Windows 8 that they haven’t yet released on the SigFig website.”
