Well, some of you figured out that our post and news release yesterday on World Celebrity Idol had a bit of hype built into it given the April 1st release - if you figured it out, good for you especially our url, world rent lol .com. As we said, we were having fun but we are very serious about our mandate to find the next rising business stars and connect them to the investment community. We had a great time launching at the Massive Tech Show and kudos to Lindsey Smith and the whole team for a massive event. Great to connect with many small businesses, start-ups and service providers and the reaction to fundfindr was awesome - thank you! Look for our video coverage coming soon!

A couple rising stars we met that we’d like to bring to your attention are Florence Leung of PeerFX and Colleen Nystedt of Movieset.

Florence is in early stages but has a great concept of democratizing foreign-exchange and is now looking for angel investment - we recommend you check PeerFX out as a great opportunity and we will have her pitch on fundfindr.com very soon. Check out PeerFX on Dragon’s Den in this video - they got the deal but later turned it down because of the valuation. As we stated in our post on Dragon Jim Treliving, we’ll be sharing some other Dragon’s Den insights in future posts.

Colleen is further along the venture dating process, having raised approximately $1Million but is now at the VC round. We are impressed by the concept of a fan-based community that brings them behind-the-scenes and engages them in a dialogue with producers before the film’s release. Well done Colleen and we will look forward to highlighting your progress and potential to the investment community.

fundfindr.com is all about sharing the next Business Idols with investors and the rest of the fundfindr community. Stay tuned, compete, comment and enjoy the fun and let’s help create some big wins.
