Gold Star for Smartycard [watch the video]
“The market for SmartyCard is well defined, these guys have picked up on it and have come to the table with a product that should do well in this space.”
“it’s refreshing to see a company that’s creating innovative ways to make games for children more than something that wastes time.”
“This looked like a really good way to handle a kid’s allowance, when compared to just handing them some money and setting them loose”
Silver Star for Ontier [watch the video]
“I do much of my business with offshore resources. Many of my specifications are communicated via recordings. Pixatell is by far a more collaborative product which enables a faster response and feedback loop from my contractors.”
“Excellent product idea and beautiful user interface. Very applicable.”
“This is a great product! I would definitely use this and can see how this could be a real time saver!”
Bronze Star for Coveroo [watch the video]
“Coveroo has a fantastic product and even better customer service. I’ll buy again.”
“I love that coveroo offers changeable covers vs. having to engrave your phone itself. It makes it more of a cool, affordable bling option.”
Honorable mentions for:
Avaak [watch the video]

“This product is only limited by the imagination of its users.”
