What Company Is Offering:
Doba simplifies and streamlines product sourcing for the emerging market of millions of web-based entrepreneurs delving into the fray of starting and/or growing a retail business.
How It Works:
Doba is what people in the retail industry refer to as a product sourcing marketplace or drop-ship aggregator. Their members are online retail merchants and entrepreneurs who buy products at wholesale prices and sell them at retail prices without having to deal with the hassle and expense of storing products, managing inventory, packing and shipping products, and handling returns. Doba members can find wholesale priced products on our website, market and sell those products to their customers, collect payments, and then place an order on our site to have those products shipped directly to their customers. Doba's single interface puts retailers in touch with hundreds of wholesale suppliers featuring a combined product line of over 1,200,000 quality products.
Doba's members gain access to over 1,200,000 wholesale products from numerous suppliers. Instead of having to register and work with individual suppliers—each of which has its own way of processing orders and keeping records—our members have uniform access to all of our suppliers through a single and simple interface.
For suppliers, Doba offers the ability to increase sales and distribution by tapping into the marketing efforts of over 30,000 web-based small to medium size retail entrepreneurs. If you are a distributor, manufacturer, wholesaler, or drop shipper, Doba can allow you to gain access to this emerging large distribution and sales channel without the risk and complexities of dealing with small-volume retailers. (For more information about our supplier services,
To complement their growing product catalog, they provide retailers and suppliers with premium services, including advanced tools, resources, and training and education that empower them to maximize sales and profits and manage their businesses more effectively and efficiently.
How This Company is Progressing:

Unusual Business Idea
What Company is Offering:
TCF is a dedicated network for college students on which they publish and view academic resources: outlines, study guides, notes, formula sheets, essays, and other student generated documents.
TCF enables offline student sharing of documents to go online. Online students will have access to more documents of potentially higher quality and greater breadth in more courses, departments, and schools. TCF organizes these documents to enable easy search. For example, TCF requires standardized file tagging by content providers, which makes finding files by content seekers more effective.
How It Works:
Content seekers acquire documents from their peers that they can't get from professors, textbooks, or course websites.
Content providers share their documents, anonymously, by real name or by alias, if they wish. They may also choose to share with the general public, their Facebook friends, a selected group of their Facebook friends, and/or the users from whom they have downloaded documents.
Anyone can access and view documents posted on TCF. Only those logged in with their facebook account information can upload, rate, and comment on documents.

PayCycle is the leader in on-demand payroll for small businesses Is Upgrading It With PayToday and Peachtree integration
What Company Is Offering:
PayCycle is the leader in on-demand payroll for small businesses and for the accounting professionals who serve them. Our company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with a second location in Schaumburg, Illinois.PayCycle's mission is to make paper-based payroll obsolete. Using our unique Do-It-With-YouSM (DIWYSM) technology platform, PayCycle guides users through the entire payroll process online, from setup to paychecks to W-2s. There's no other service like it, whether you're comparing PayCycle to fully-outsourced payroll companies or in-house accounting software.
How It Works:
After you contract with an online payroll firm, you key in the personal data of each employee—including salary, date of hire and bank account information.
Each month, at a time you specify, the online firm withdraws payroll from your company’s account and deposits salaries directly into each employee’s account. It’s completely paperless.
PayCycle also withholds taxes from employees’ checks, deposits withholdings in a separate account we use to pay taxes, and processes sales commissions and bonuses.
When salaries are paid, employees get an e-mail letting them know their online stub is ready to be downloaded. Employees log onto their personal PayCycle Web page, where they can review and print out their stub.
Recent Updates:
Online payroll service PayCycle is launching a new version (2008) with two major upgrades: PayToday and Peachtree integration. The PayToday offering lets users signup with PayCycle and run payroll the same day. This should really help on the new customer front, as several businesses seeking payroll services are in immediate need to use the payroll tool, so the PayToday option will appeal to potential businesses and help PayCycle’s growth efforts.

SVB Analytics Research Series
About SVB Analytics
SVB Analytics offers valuation and corporate equity administration services to private, venture capital-backed companies and venture capital firms. SVB Analytics' initial services offerings include fair market 409A valuations and corporate equity tracking and administrative services. SVB Analytics is a member of global financial services firm SVB Financial Group, with SVB Silicon Valley Bank, SVB Capital, SVB Global and SVB Private Client Services, which serve the unique needs of technology, life sciences and private equity firms.
SVB Analytics, a leading provider of valuation and corporate equity management services, released Volume 2 of its research series that analyzes the value drivers in the world of private equity and venture capital. The research is based on examinations of valuation data for thousands of venture-backed technology and life science companies. The latest report takes an in-depth look at the explosion of late-stage technology investing, identifying the funding recipients and the impact they are having on their investors' portfolios.
Contrary to the belief that the bulk of private technology companies left over from the boom are on the verge of fizzling out, the research reveals that companies conceived during the 2000 bubble-era comprise one-third of all private technology companies today, and the bulk of them -- 70 percent -- have received fresh funding within the last three years. A large percentage of those companies are playing a significant role in investment portfolios and dominating technology merger and acquisition activity, according to the report.
"It's not unheard of for successful technology companies to go through five, six or even seven rounds of venture funding today," said Jim Anderson, president of SVB Analytics. "What no one really expected was that so many of these companies were born during the bubble and are significantly impacting today's venture portfolios. Popular opinion says the bubble burst and everything imploded, but our data reveals that's not the whole story."
SVB Analytics Research Series is authored by theoretical mathematician and SVB Analytics Research Director Cindy Moore and edited by SVB Analytics founder and President Jim Anderson. The research was funded by SVB Analytics, a member of SVB Financial Group (Nasdaq: SIVB).
SVB Analytics was formed to respond to clients' demand for assistance with analytical tasks resulting from new tax regulations and accounting standards. As part of this effort SVB Analytics helps companies comply with the exigencies of IRS Code Section 409A, which requires a formal valuation opinion for private companies every 12 months.
Volume 3 of the SVB Analytics Research Series is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2008.
For a complete copy of SVB Analytics Research Series, Volume 2 please visit http://www.svb.com/pdfs/SVBAnalytics_Research_Vol2.pdf

Languify is a translation management system for your software projects
What Company Is Offering:
Languify is a translation management system for your software projects. Those who have dealt with agile software projects, which support multiple languages, know: synchronizing feature development and localization is a nightmare. Languify reduces the barriers of entry to software internationalization (i18n) so significantly that the benefits of global accessibility now outweigh costs.
How It Works:
Globalize:
The display text in software applications, including web sites, is often embedded directly in the programming code. These bits of text are called “strings”, and include button & menu labels, tooltips, help text, error messages, and so on.
For software to support multiple languages, these strings need to be moved out of the code and into separate files. This step is called “globalizing” or “externalizing” the application.
Every software platform has its own mechanisms for globalizing. In the Java world, for instance, strings are externalized into .properties files and accessed through the ResourceBundle class.
Languify:
You can upload these externalized string files into Languify. Each file becomes a “locale”, which specifies the language and the region. For example, Brazilian Portugeuse or Canadian English. You may only have one locale to create if you have not had any translations done yet.
With your project and first locale(s) set up in Languify, you can now invite translators to use the web interface to add translations. Your translators may be professional translators, or perhaps passionate users of your application (aka “Crowdsourcing”).
Periodically you will export your Languify project back into your software application.
Languify also offers a full REST-style API, which allows other systems to programmatically interact with your projects, locales, keys, and translations.

Languify is a translation management system for your software projects. Those who have dealt with agile software projects, which support multiple languages, know: synchronizing feature development and localization is a nightmare. Languify reduces the barriers of entry to software internationalization (i18n) so significantly that the benefits of global accessibility now outweigh costs.
How It Works:
Globalize:
The display text in software applications, including web sites, is often embedded directly in the programming code. These bits of text are called “strings”, and include button & menu labels, tooltips, help text, error messages, and so on.
For software to support multiple languages, these strings need to be moved out of the code and into separate files. This step is called “globalizing” or “externalizing” the application.
Every software platform has its own mechanisms for globalizing. In the Java world, for instance, strings are externalized into .properties files and accessed through the ResourceBundle class.
