FinovateStartup 2009 Best of Show Winners Named

By Jim Bruene on April 28, 2009 8:14 PM | Comments (2)

image After a wonderful day in San Francisco featuring awesome demos from 56 startups, four emerged as FinovateStartup Best of Show winners. 

All attendees, except for the startups themselves, received a ballot which allows them to rate each demo on a scale of one to six. At the end of the final demo session, the ballots are tallied and the presenters ranked based on their average score. A majority of attendees completed a ballot, so it's a good indicator of the group consensus.

It was a tight race, but the peoples' choice today are as follows (in alphabetic order). Congratulations!

               BillShrink                                                            Prosper
