British Columbia Innovation Council

Congratulations to ConnectionPoint for progressing to the 3^rd round of this year's BCIC-New Ventures Competition.

Vancouver's ConnectionPoint is a startup company delivering innovative social network applications that solve pervasive problems in social commerce. Their keystone product "FundRazr" makes it easy for anyone to collect money from their online and social media communities. There are many reasons people and their communities need to raise money ranging from education and health (illness), to teams and clubs. Instead of traditional methods of canvassing and collecting cash and cheques manually, people are searching for ways to move personal funding online and into their social networks. FundRazr allows anyone to quickly and easily set up a social funding campaign and distribute it via Facebook and Twitter. Solid partnerships with companies like PayPal make it simple, social and secure.

The top ten companies advancing to the fourth and final round of the competition will be announced August 31, 2011. The finalists, each vying for a piece of the $375,000 in prize packages, will be awarded September 22, 2011 in Vancouver.
