Five graduates from the New York City and Washington DC Area Founder Institute Winter 2009 Semesters were announced today on TechCrunch. In total, there were 25 graduates in these inaugural East Coast Semesters - and plans are underway to launch new sessions in NY and DC in the Fall 2010. The five launched companies are;
- Heliograph provides a simple plug-in that speeds up your web site by as much as 80% by caching larger files, such as images, on servers close to your users around the world.
- CouplesSpark aims to help couples resolve their conflicts through a neutral online voting platform.
- Profitably’s web-based service connects to business applications, such as Quickbooks, and makes recommendations for small business owners to increase revenues and drive down costs.
- Simple.PR allows businesses to distribute information and promotions beyond social media networks like Facebook and Twitter.
- WhatsFun.com is an online and mobile event calendar that makes it easy to find, share, promote and remember local events.
