PocketSpheres was a precursor (in concept) to what we now know as photo sharing. Snapping pics and inviting people to shared albums where everyone could contribute experiences was indeed ahead of its time putting security above all it was marketed to both individuals and businesses.

PitchBrite was a platform that used a proprietary recommendation engine to connect entrepreneurs with investors.

Think 6 degrees of separation, with your ideas and other peoples' money.

a little help from my friends things

MentionTribe was a social two-sided platform that makes the process of sharing offers and tracking incentives easy.

Lean on the strength of your tribe and get rewarded.
