How It Works:
WebVisible is focusing on local business owners who are, as they say, “too busy minding their stores to successfully navigate the complexities of buying and managing their own online advertising, whether pay-per-click, banner ads, call-based solutions, or ROI measurement tools.” WebVisible tracks the consumer’s location by partnering with many companies which have this info via cookies or other means, such as Yahoo, Ask, MSN, Local.com and others. Then, they sell their advertising products to local business customers of large media companies and online service providers, such as AT&T, British Telecom, and Earthlink.
How Much They Got From VCs:
WebVisible has received 12 million dollars in its second round of funding.

Credit Karma offers a new way to track your credit score and a unique way to benefit from it
What Company Is Offering:
Credit Karma offers a new way to track your credit score and a unique way to benefit from it. For the first time you can get a truly free credit score with no hidden costs or obligations. Based on your score, you gain access to exclusive offers from companies that value your creditworthiness.
The principle of Karma is common to many beliefs. The general idea is that any action a person takes either positive or negative, will have an inevitable equal effect in the future. Your credit score is kind of an expression of this concept; an index of your credit history: your credit karma. Credit Karma embodies the best parts of these two disparate yet similar concepts to help people stay aware of their Credit Score and gain access to exclusive deals at the same time.
Their services start with a FREE credit score. No credit card is required and no strings are attached. Return as often as you like and use our service to track your credit file and stay informed. Credit Karma believes this is a fundamental consumer right. Credit Karma will continue to provide these FREE credit scores while doing the most to protect your privacy regardless if you use our other services.
How It Works:
When you access the FREE credit score, Credit Karma will show personalized offers to you based on your credit profile . These offers are from advertisers who share our vision of consumer empowerment. If you wish to take advantage of Karma Offers, it is up to you. Credit Karma will never share your information without your consent.
Credit Karma messages are one way broadcasts from our partner companies. Our advertising partners provide personalized offers and Credit Karma matches them with appropriate people, never disclosing the user information unless the consumer responds to the offer. This protects your privacy and allows you to control who receives your data.
Unlike the traditional credit marketing world where businesses buy and sell your personal information without your knowledge and then chase you with offers, Credit Karma tries to give the power and the choice back to you.

BetOnMarkets.com offers fixed odds financial bets
What Company Is Offering:
BetOnMarkets.com offers fixed odds financial bets; i.e. financial bets that pay a fixed amount (or nothing) on expiry. In other words, when you buy a fixed-odds bet from BetOnMarkets.com, you are entitled to receive a payout, which is a fixed multiple of the amount you have staked.
How It Works;
With the BetOnMarkets.com dealing system a client expresses a view and makes a prediction. If the prediction comes true, the client will profit by a predetermined amount. Before any bet is placed, the client knows the entire possible downside as well as the exact possible profit.
However, with most bets, you are also able to sell your bet before the final settlement date to mitigate your losses or take your profits out early. This means that your risk level is clearly defined at all times.[Go to top]
BetOnMarkets.com uses a variety of methods to compute bet prices. Some bets are priced using complex mathematical algorithms, based on option pricing technology whilst others are priced using simpler methods. Our advanced pricing models take into account market implied volatility, the current market quote of the underlying market, expiry date, present market conditions and other contributing factors. Furthermore, prices are weighted according to demand; bets currently in high demand will be priced at a premium to bets in low demand.
A small sales commission is built into the price of all bets. This commission is not constant and depends on the market conditions. To find out the exact commission amount charged on a bet, log into your account and select "Advanced Mode" (situated under the Home menu). Then price a bet as per normal, and click on the link "Further Info." to see the exact amount of commission charged on that specific bet. When you buy a bet, the amount deducted from your account is simply the price of the bet; there are no additional fees?

USAspending.gov---allows visitors to search for information about federal assistance, including grants, loans, insurance, etc
What Company Is Offering:
USAspending.gov, a re-launch of www.federalspending.gov, provides this information to the public, as collected from federal agencies, in an easy to use website. The data is largely from sources: the Federal Procurement Data System, which contains information about federal contracts; and the Federal Assistance Award Data System, which contains information about federal financial assistance such as grants, loans, insurance, and direct subsidies like Social Security.
How It Works:
The Assistance tab of USAspending.gov allows visitors to search for information about federal assistance, including grants, loans, insurance, etc. Navigation links on the left side of this page function as the main navigation interface for users. Currently, visitors can search three main categories: by grant recipient, by place of performance, and by granting agency.
Recipient searches can be performed by simply entering a search term in the cell and clicking go. Search for all recipients that include a search term by simply entering an asterisk before the term. The sidebar also provides quick tables for Top 100 Recipients per year, as well as award totals based on the state or congressional district location of the recipients (which is not necessarily where the money is actually spent). The advanced search allows users to modify a simple name search with other factors such as amount of total award amount, type of recipient, etc.
Location searches allow users to find out how much money is being spent in a location. The sidebar permits quick searches by states. The advanced search uses counties, cities as well as other search modifiers.
Agency searches can be done by either selecting a major agency from the sidebar menu or by selecting a year total for an agency from the "Overview by Major Agency" table. Advanced search allows you to modify you search by changing factors such as the year, type of award granted, type of recipient, etc. The advanced search also allows you to search for sub-offices within major agencies and departments as well as minor agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission or the National Endowment for the Arts.

vzaar provides a simple and fast way for eBay sellers to upload videos of their products and services to enhance their listings
What Company Is Offering:
vzaar provides a simple and fast way for eBay sellers to upload videos of their products and services to enhance their listings. Unlike other services, vzaar is designed for video ecommerce.
How It Works:
vzaar enables buyers to get a clear look at what they are purchasing and watch it in action. vzaar makes it easy for sellers to add video into their listings, drive bids and move more inventory. And unlike still images or slideshows, videos have audio, enabling sellers to communicate more effectively, describe their services and inspire trust.
vzaar has helped sellers in the beta program sell items ranging from a backhoe to jet skis, diamonds to art, and guitars to comics. vzaar was the first company to enable video listings on eBay UK.
"Videos provide sellers with a distinct advantage in the competitive eBay market, but it has always been a challenge trying to add videos to listings," said Ken Moss, CEO of vzaar. "Unlike other video solutions designed for entertainment, we built vzaar specifically for video commerce. Once buyers and sellers first see a video-enabled eBay listing, they want them for all listings."
How Is It Different:
vzaar is designed for video commerce. When a YouTube video ends, it drives viewers to watch another user’s video. When a vzaar video ends, it prompts viewers to bid on the item. Also, the vzaar player contains vital information that YouTube does not: seller feedback and bidding time left on the auction.
vzaar’s technology can be integrated and used to deliver video to other online businesses, big or small.

And unlike still images or slideshows, videos have audio, enabling sellers to communicate more effectively, describe their services and inspire trust.
vzaar has helped sellers in the beta program sell items ranging from a backhoe to jet skis, diamonds to art, and guitars to comics. vzaar was the first company to enable video listings on eBay UK.
"Videos provide sellers with a distinct advantage in the competitive eBay market, but it has always been a challenge trying to add videos to listings," said Ken Moss, CEO of vzaar. "Unlike other video solutions designed for entertainment, we built vzaar specifically for video commerce. Once buyers and sellers first see a video-enabled eBay listing, they want them for all listings."
How Is It Different:
vzaar is designed for video commerce. When a YouTube video ends, it drives viewers to watch another user’s video. When a vzaar video ends, it prompts viewers to bid on the item. Also, the vzaar player contains vital information that YouTube does not: seller feedback and bidding time left on the auction.
vzaar’s technology can be integrated and used to deliver video to other online businesses, big or small.

Content providers are overlooking the needs of many ....
Content providers are overlooking the needs of many of today's Internet users, according to a new Burst Media study. The online survey, conducted in February 2008 of more than 13,000 web users 18 years or older, found a majority of Internet users 45 years
and older believe that online content, as well as website design and online advertising is skewed toward younger web users.
The Burst survey found that young web users between the ages of 18-24 years and 25-34 years are most likely to say online content is focused on people their age (76.0% and 73.9%). Additionally, more than one-half (55.7%) of respondents 35-44 years perceive online content to be focused toward their age segment.
Starting with the "Young Boomer" segment (45-54 years) there is a precipitous decline in the number of respondents who say Internet content is focused toward people their age. In fact, within this age segment only one in three (35.4%) believe online content is focused on people their own age. Only one in five (18.9%) respondents 55 years and older say Internet content is primarily focused on people their age. Additionally, three-quarters (77.7%) of respondents 45 years and older believe online advertising is not targeted towards them, and focuses on younger audiences.
The Burst survey also revealed several interesting findings about different demographic segments' perceptions of the online marketplace. These include:
-- Disparity in Usability: The Burst survey revealed that website usability is an issue for older web users. For sites drawing an audience 45 and older, simple navigation and design is critical for retaining those consumers.
-- Loss of Connectivity Devastating at any Age: The one truth across all ages is that the Internet has become an integral part of their everyday life. Two-thirds (67.7%) of respondents said that their daily routine would be disrupted if they could not access the Internet for a week, with 42.9% saying that they would be significantly impacted.
-- Expanded Universe of Sites: Overall, three out of five (59.6%) of respondents are visiting more web sites in a typical week than they were one year ago. An expanded catalog of sites visited is not only a phenomenon of the young; in fact, 62.8% of respondents 55 years and older say they are visiting more sites today in a typical week of web surfing than they were one year ago.
"The Internet is the proverbial big tent - made up of lots of audience segments with differing content interests," said Jarvis Coffin, CEO of Burst Media. "A major audience segment, such as adults over 45, should not be crying out for content. Clearly there is an opportunity for talented web publishers to develop engaging content that resonates with older web audiences. Likewise, there is also an opportunity for advertisers - older audiences are using the Internet and it makes senses for marketers keen on reaching them to seriously consider the web to deliver their advertising message."

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.
