Online Banking Report Announces Final Demo Lineup for FinovateStartup Conference
SEATTLE-(Business Wire)-March 28, 2008 - Times may be tight in the credit markets, but the financial services technology area is still hopping with startups. Forty of the most promising will gather in San Francisco April 29 to prove to an auditorium full of bankers, VCs, tech gurus, and the press what makes them the next big thing in finance. It's 100% demos with plenty of networking time to speak with the startup founders and execs. No slides. No speeches. No wasted time.
The main threads will be online personal finance (5 startups), online savings/checking (3 startups) social finance/investing (8 startups), lending/credit (5 startups including 3 person-to-person lenders), comparison shopping for financial services (3 startups), security (5 startups), and mobile banking/payments (4 startups).
There are several stealth companies planning to launch at the conference as well as a number of startups introducing significant product improvements or new services. We expect to see plenty of Web 2.0 including social media inspired investing, widgets and Facebook apps, and next-generation financial search. It will be an amazing day.
Here's the complete lineup by company type:
— Checking and savings: Andera, FirstROI, SmartyPig
