An important part of Finovate Conferences, at least for the winners, is the voting process for best demo. All non-presenting attendees receive a ballot which allows them to rate each demo on a scale of one to seven. At the end of the final demo sessions, the ballots are tallied and the presenters ranked 1 through 40 based on the average score. A majority of attendees complete a ballot so it's a good indicator of the group consensus.
There were dozens of awesome demos to choose from, but the peoples' choice yesterday are shown below (in alphabetic order). Congratulations!
Videos of all the demos will be available soon at the FinovateStartup website.

Ironic, the first place winner (Zopa) is listed last!
Why in the world would you list these alphabetical? and not in 1st/2nd/3rd order?
The order was:
- zopa
- jwaala
- zecco/bancvue (tied)

True, we did announce them at the conference in that order. But after some debate, and seeing how little difference there were in scores across the top 4, we chose to "officially" recognize these four without mentioning a ranking. That's also consistent with how we awarded the honors in Finovate last fall.

Agree with Matt, if you announced them as 1, 2, 3 it should stay that way, hard to change after the fact and is unfair to those that "won" IMO. Maybe next time when you announce, don't announce a placement order.

@Ryan
Good suggestion...my mistake, I should have announced in alpha order at the event. That's what we did at the first Finovate and will do in the future.
