FinovateStartup 2009 Conference Participants Announced (NetBanker)

FinovateStartup09, our annual springtime technology event in the San Francisco Bay area, is just three months away. Today, we announced the first wave of young companies committed to participate on April 28.

More companies are in the pipeline, and when all is said and done we expect more than 50 startups to be on hand to demonstrate the latest in online and mobile financial services and technology.

The Finovate format combines fast-paced demos (no PowerPoint!) with extensive networking where you can meet the start-up founders along with influential industry executives, press corps, and analysts. To get a taste for the event, take a look at videos of past demos.

Because we hadn't named any companies until today, we've extended the Super Early Bird registration deadline until this Friday, Feb. 6 (register here). See you in San Francisco.

Is there a quick way to understand what are the specific areas covered by those startup? I don't have time to go on each web site to figure out what is their offering... Having categories, tagcloud, whatever would be helpful

Good point. Here's the eight major themes:

1. Personal financial management
2. Mobile banking/payments/iPhone
3. New financial search sites (lead gen)
4. Personal finance tools/credit management
5. Alt payments
6. Peer-to-peer/social lending
7. Investment management tools/community
8. Security

We'll get into more detail in future posts.
