Conjungo is a technology supplier search engine where buyers identify and shortlist suppliers
What Company Is Offering:
Conjungo means ‘to unite’ in Latin. Theirr aim is to unite technology buyers with suppliers. They want buyers to be able to easily identify, select and evaluate the suppliers that are available worldwide. They do that by providing buyers with a fast, easy to use search tool that lists technology providers.
They offer these technology providers a single platform to promote themselves to buyers worldwide. Conjungo is the only place where technology buyers can identify and get in touch with local or specialised resellers, not just vendors.
How It Works:
Conjungo is a technology supplier search engine where buyers identify and shortlist suppliers. It delivers accurate and refined results, making it quick and easy for buyers to find local suppliers with relevant experience.
Conjungo is the only place online where technology vendors can list their entire channel in an easily searchable format. This helps buyers find the exact local reseller they need at the time they are searching for information about potential suppliers.
How Is It Different:
Unlike other vertical search engines Conjungo generates specific results that meet a buyer’s criteria. You will not see thousands of results that are not relevant to your search. There is no other technology supplier search engine where you can filter search to identify suppliers by their vertical experience, the size of companies they sell to, the location they are based or the region they cover.
Conjungo receives content directly from the vendors and suppliers that are listed. You are presented with short, sharp and clear information focused on what you need in order to make a supplier short list, not pages with links to irrelevant news and product information. Vendors and suppliers keep their listings up to date and link to their websites where you can find more information if you need it or would like to research products in more details.

Helion Venture Partners has closed its second fund with a corpus of $210 million
Helion Venture Partners has closed its second fund with a corpus of $210 million (Rs850.5 crore), 1.5 times more than its first fund of $140 million that has more than half been distributed among a dozen companies.
The Bangalore-based firm is the first among a growing bunch of venture capital (VC) firms in India that focus on early-stage businesses to raise a second fund in as many years. “We wanted to create an extra pool of capital to expand our focus beyond technology powered businesses,” said Kanwaljit Singh, the firm’s managing director.
Until now, Helion has invested primarily in companies running businesses in the Internet, wireless and outsourced services space, such as online travel company Makemytrip India Pvt. Ltd, online ad publishing network Komli Inc., voice short message service provider Kirusa Inc. and IT-enabled services firm Anantara Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
It will next also look at investments in consumer-oriented sectors such as retail and financial services.
Helion, which typically invests between $2 million and $10 million in a company, will continue to participate in early-stage deals, Singh said.
In addition to Helion’s existing limited partners (institutions which invest in private equity funds), who are mostly based in the US, the firm has been backed by new partners in Asia and Europe for its latest fund. The firm also says it wants to expand its reach into these geographies to help its portfolio companies, especially those in outsourced services that address these markets.
Helion is among the new breed of venture capital firms in India formed by partners with operational and entrepreneurial background—Singh earlier handled marketing at Intel Corp. and Unilever Plc., while his partners Ashish Gupta and Sanjeev Aggarwal had co-founded start-ups before. A fourth partner, Rahul Chandra, comes from a pure VC background.

Sazze.com is a social product review site
What Company is Offering:
Sazze.com is a social product review site that is derived from the "Web 2.0" concept of sharing information and comprises of a community of consumers who encourage one another to provide quality reviews. At the heart of Sazze.com is a fun and engaging community of people who care about reliable and up-to-date information on the goods they are purchasing. Sazze.com was created to add a more personal emphasis to consumer product reviews. Their main focus is to provide users with varied personal experiences so that reviews become more relevant.
How It Works:
Sazze works by combining consumer product reviews with a highly interactive social network that focuses on members building strong relationships and reputations with one another. Users gain higher status by having their reviews rated on quality by other users. Quality is based on the number of "helpful" votes that a certain user receives for all of his/her reviews. In addition, users can applaud each other's reviews, polls, and chat messages, which help to better define a user's credibility.
Sazze.com is based on a reputation system that takes the idea of giving and receiving positive feedback as an incentive for increased interaction between users. This system works by encouraging other members to provide feedback on one another's reviews, making for a fun way to provide quality reviews.
Products are based on a 5-star rating system. Users can give a product a rating between 1 and 5 stars. A product's number of ratings does not necessarily correspond to the number of reviews, since users are not required to write a review when rating a product. The overall rating score is based on the combined average of all ratings.
