BizSpark One came out from under wraps at PDC09 in Los Angeles this past week as a depth extension of the BizSpark brand.
BizSpark One is an invitation-only depth engagement program that focuses on providing opportunities to enable the success of the startup.
I am keen to talk more about some of the successful companies who have been invited to join the program .. culled from company profiles on StartupZone (where you’ll find much, much more), here are some quick bits for your review:
- ActionBase: Fills the gap between Business Process Management and human collaboration efforts, working with a wide variety of verticals.
- Artesian Solutions: A software plus services provider that automates the process of specific intelligence gathering from the web to drive commercial performance.
- Corefino: Hailed as the “future of 21st-century accounting”, Corefino is account software, by and for accountants. The company provides connections to the accounting community to enable businesses to obtain quality accounting services to extend their internal efforts.
- dezineforce: An engineering design search and optimization service that combines cutting-edge design search, industry-leading simulation tools, integrated workflows and a high performance computing architecture for cost-effective web-based design.
- Formotus: Design and deployment infrastructure to deliver InfoPath forms to your mobile device.
- Huddle: Online collaboration platform providing secure work spaces that enables teams to work more effectively across internal and external boundaries.
- Kinoma: Mobile software that puts a home entertainment system into your pocket. Kinoma powers the media experience for millions of devices on fourteen carrier networks.
- WAYN: An acronym for “Where are you now”, WAYN is the largest travel and social networking web site in the world (15MM members in 193 countries at the time of this writing). WAYN enables members to share experiences, finding and to keeping track of each other. This connectivity provides a rich, experience opportunity through highly-targeted advertising.
- Wild Pockets: Web-based, 3D gaming engine provided at no cost to the developer community. The engine is rich, providing physics, scripting language and monetization capabilities to developers.
- Yammer: Enterprise micro-blogging, akin to the more public Twitter, Yammer provides a simple way for employees of a company to connect with each other in a secure environment. As contributors and audience grow, the content becomes an easy-to-search repository of activities in an enterprise, across groups and disciplines.
Kudos and thanks to these companies. We are proud to have these (and other .. watch for more articles) successful startup companies participating in our program.
