Stockpile is our next presenter. The Palo Alto-based company is demoing its Stockpile Gift Cards.

Pick a company and dollar amount (say $50 of Apple) and pay with your credit card. The recipient gets their stock by entering a claim code and either logging into their Stockpile account or signing up for one.”
