Well after a yummy lunch at the Yumbii truck and a lot of good networking and Sanjay story telling we are back for the 2nd hour of pitches.

Digify Media
Real-time mobile only news application for vertical markets. Think WSJ iPhone app for more niche media. It's an interesting app called TrendOY! that is currently available in the app store.

CubeVibe
Employee engagement software. In beta. Launching soon, looking for more beta customers with less than 1,000 employees. Well done.

Coolleaf
iTunes for personal health care coupled with a rewards platform. Nice looking app. Pilot kicking off next month in Atlanta.

Browser tool bar app that exposes contact info for a particular website. Saw a demo of this yesterday. Very slick patented technology. Backed by CEO Ventures.

MusicSesh

Transloadit
