Startups to Empower SWIFT

September 07, 2011 Android PR No comments

The list of the Top 10 startups (chosen by SWIFT) in the Innotribe $100k Startup Challenge has been published. We combed through the batch and were excited about the mobile mix. First off, congratulations to the Top 10. Secondly, it would be interesting to see which startup makes it to SIBOS 2011 and how SWIFT plans on utilizing their offerings. We’ve put in a request to attend as press and are waiting for the response. It would be a great opportunity to interview and get first hand “public” information on the mobile innovations that are being presented for the financial tech sector.

We will most definitely be requesting some form of interview with a few of the startups that interest us the most. We will be sharing them with you when that happens. If you’re one of the startups that are on the Top 10 List, and even if you’re not, and you have “android development” on your roadmap, we’d love to hear from you.

As much as “money makes the world go round, mobile applications makes it go around, that much faster.”
