The easiest and safest way to get your personal health data on real-time worldwide
What Company Is Offering:
Keyose is a personal health record (PHR) management service.The easiest and safest way to get your personal health data on real-time worldwide. It allows you to store the basic medical data of a patient (allergies, main diseases and medications) on Internet so that they are available on real time in any place (through Internet connection, mobile phone or other devices).
How It Works:
1.Users (patients or one of their caregivers or doctors) connect to Keyose and fill the basic data (allergies, medications, main diseases). They never introduce a patient's identification data (name, driving license, passport). They also select a private password.
2.Keyose generates a code that will identify from that moment that clinical record (for example AYKB345).
3.Users print at home a card with the generated code (AYKB345) and a public password that includes information about their allergies and blood type.
4.Users keep the card in their wallet or print the Keyose code on an identification badge.
5.When patients visit healthcare professionals they show them their Keyose code (AYKB345).
6.The healthcare professionals visit www.keyose.com. They enter the patients’ code (AYKB345) and their public password, and gain access to the personal health record. Doing this they can obtain basic data about their patients even if they are unconscious or unable to recall it.
7.The private password, which is not present on the card and only the patient knows, allows the creation of the personal health record (adding or removing treatments for example). It is also needed in order to access particularly sensitive data (under the patient's criteria).
The basic service of a “personal health record” is offered for free to the patient by recrea and ANCO. They consider it to be a useful tool that can save lives and want to offer it for free.

Streamezzo's superlative range of rich media mobile solutions has secured Round C financing totaling more than $22 million
What Company Says:
Streamezzo's superlative range of rich media mobile solutions guarantees an intuitive, original and compelling experience for any user.
To develop and deliver premium services, boost revenue, and increase customer loyalty. Take advantage of our unmatched experience to reduce rollout costs and deploy rich media services in record time.
What This Will Do Or Solutins Which They Provides Are:
1. Streamezzo's rich media technology, Interactive Mobile TV offers attractive new market opportunities for mobile operators, content providers, and broadcasters. Innovative new business models will generate fresh revenue streams as Interactive Mobile TV changes the way customers use TV and Video On Demand (VOD) services. Interactive Mobile TV's user-friendly interface also enables viewers to access premium contextual services.
Interactive Mobile TV is not only available for fixed/cellular networks - streaming unicast over EDGE or 3G - it can also be adapted for convergent solutions that handle any broadcasting protocol, e.g. DVB-H, S-DMB, Mediaflo etc. This allows mobile TV customers to switch seamlessly between different networks.
2.Streamezzo's Rich Media technologies, Music Jukebox transforms a mobile device into a portable music player. Users can access their favorite music whenever and wherever they want via an intuitive interface that changes very little across a broad array of mobile devices.
3.For mobile operators and MVNOs, the on-device portal is essential to long-term success. It creates new revenue streams to fund development, boosts subscriptions, and is a powerful incentive for customer loyalty. As rival networks compete for traction in the marketplace, there is arguably no service that differentiates your offering more effectively than a first-rate mobile on-device portal - offering customers what they want, when they want it.
4.The Rich Media User Interface enhances branding and boosts the usage of mobile portals and services. It gives mobile operators and manufacturers a single, unified abstraction layer for the mobile device that supports vertical applications and a rich media portal. Using configurable widgets, operators can give customers direct access to specific services and applications.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Streamezzo, a Paris-based provider of rich media solutions and platforms for mobile communications, has secured Round C financing totaling more than $22 million. To date, the company has raised a total of $48 million from a roster of top-tier investors. Kuwaiti investment group NTEC (National Technology Enterprise Co.) joins the latest round, along with all of Streamezzo's existing investors

Animoto, a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using their own patent-pending technology and high-end motion
What Company Is Offering:
Animoto Productions is a bunch of techies and film/tv producers who decided to lock themselves in a room together and nerd out.
Their first release is Animoto, a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using their own patent-pending technology and high-end motion design. Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced on a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.
How It Works:
The heart of Animoto is its newly developed Cinematic Artificial Intelligence technology that thinks like an actual director and editor. It analyzes and combines user-selected images and music with the same sophisticated post-production skills & techniques that are used in television and film.
Based in New York City with an office in San Francisco, the founders of Animoto are veterans of the entertainment industry and have produced shows for MTV, Comedy Central, & ABC, studied music in London, and played in indie rock bands in Seattle. They continue to innovate in the field of creative artificial intelligence.
Recent Updates:
Animoto now gives you the option of downloading your videos in MP4 video format for Macs or PCs. The additional service is still free.
By allowing users to download their videos, Animoto is broadening the way in which content can be experienced and shared. Downloading content seems like a pretty basic ting to offer, but several web-based services, especially those that offer slide show creation tools, don’t in fact allow you to save the items for your own use on your own computer.

Let us do it for you. With an innovative program called Shoeboxed Mail-In, you can mail us your receipts and we'll scan them in for you.
Take a photo of your paper receipts and Shoeboxed will automatically organize them in a clean, tabular format. Give online stores your Shoeboxed e-mail address and shoeboxed.com will filter your receipt e-mails, classify them as receipts or spam messages, and organize them accordingly. Online advertisements and spam will be stored and managed separately from receipt data to help you filter unwanted messages that normally clog your personal e-mail inbox. It's fun, it's free, and it's just the beginning.
Once you have all those pesky receipts organized, they can start doing work for you. They give you valuable information about what you're buying. By sharing this info and experience with other shoppers on the site, you can be part of our vibrant community of shoppers, who are fighting the good fight in support of more consumer control.

Naspers is a multinational media company with principal operations in electronic media acquired Tradus at nearly $2 billion
About Company:
Naspers is a multinational media company with principal operations in electronic media (including pay-television, internet and instant-messaging subscriber platforms and the provision of related technologies) and print media (including the publishing, distribution and printing of magazines, newspapers and books, and the provision of private education services). Naspers’ most significant operations are located in South Africa, where it generates approximately 76.4% of its revenues, with other operations located elsewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa, Greece, Cyprus, the Netherlands, the United States, Thailand and China. Naspers creates media content, builds brand names around it, and manages the platforms distributing the content. Naspers delivers its content in a variety of forms and through a variety of channels, including television platforms, internet services, newspapers, magazines and books.
About Acquired Company :
Tradus provides online consumer trading platforms and related internet services in eleven European countries.
Abot VCs Deal:
At $36.32 per share, Naspers valued Tradus at nearly $2 billion, which is 26.7% higher than the average share price during Naspers’ most recent half-year, according to Paid Content. Naspers is looking to branch into another direction–namely transaction-based e-commerce services. The company, which acquired Polish IM client Gadu-Gadu in October, is also part of Naspers’ online businesses.
In focusing on Internet expansion, Naspers has established a new company called MIH Internet, which operates under its Myriad International Holdings division. This makes sense for MIH to handle the acquisition of Tradus, as MIH already dabbles in emerging markets on a global scale, including M-Web and Tencent, among others.
