Presenting Companies:
CareBooker is the Expedia.com for booking family care services, such as child care, pet care, tutoring/lessons, home care, sports/fitness, and senior care. It is also a tool for service professionals to book and manage interviews and appointments around their real-time schedules, an online payment platform, a marketing platform, and includes a "Book Care" button (similar to PayPal) which can easily be added to any website.
Charged.fm offers powerful B2B/B2C ticketing software. Today, ticketing monopolies charge exorbitant fees in exchange for a sub-par experience. Charged.fm seeks to change that by bringing the service back to service fees and empowering users. Content meets eCommerce, resulting in greater sales at the "point of compulsion".
Democracy.com provides a website for every candidate in every election and gives voters easy online actions to support their candidates. Over 90% of the 1 million political and 11 million non-political candidates (e.g., PTA's, civic organizations, student governments, etc.) run for office without a website. Why? Current products are too complicated and expensive. Democracy.com makes creating a campaign profile simple and easy with a pay-from-revenue model that is always cash flow positive for candidates.

The Shirt was named Oprah's "Must Have Fashion Item" of 2011, and is distributed through Bloomingdale's, boutiques, and www.the-shirt.com.
