SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) June 06, 2013
Cozy, the company removing headaches from renting residential real estate, unveiled its new service today which features a first-of-its-kind rent payment system, innovative landlord screening tools, and beautifully designed renter profiles.
Cozy’s mission is to radically change the rental real estate experience with a focus on elegantly designed products, transparency, privacy, and total control of one’s personal information. After an intensive six month beta period, Cozy has thousands of landlords and renters using the service in over 300 U.S. cities. Cozy has established itself as a trustworthy payment processor, and is processing millions of dollars annually.
Landlords can sign up now for their free 60-day trial at: cozy.co. Cozy is free for renters.
“Renting property is one of the oldest systems in human history, and it is a miserable experience. Renting property has never been designed. At Cozy, we’re making the entire process secure, seamless and even enjoyable from the very first interaction,” said Cozy CEO Gino Zahnd. “The U.S. is moving toward a more renter-based economy, and the timing couldn’t be better for a service like Cozy.”
NEW TOOLS FOR LANDLORDS
Cozy’s new payment system supports households with roommates. Each roommate pays individually, and Cozy bundles the payments so that the landlord receives one clean payment from the household. This system supports how leases actually work, and reduces liability for the landlord. Everything is based on recurring payments and is completely automatic.
Innovative screening tools enable landlords to accept applications from prospective renters online and make informed decisions on applicants. The renter applications call out key decision points such as employment, financial health, and rental history.
Any Cozy property application can also be shared on sites such as Craigslist, Twitter and Facebook, via email, or at property showings.
BEAUTIFUL RENTER PROFILES
Renters can create a beautifully designed, reusable portfolio with unprecedented accuracy, legitimacy, and control. The Cozy renter profile can be used to apply to properties with Cozy landlords, or anywhere else online. A Cozy profile allows renters to:
Introduce themselves to landlords in their own words
Import their LinkedIn profile and verify their current employer
Give a complete picture of their financial health
Request endorsements from previous landlords and references
About Cozy
Cozy makes renting easy for both landlords and renters. With world-class customer service and first-of-their-kind products for rent payments, applying/screening, and personal security, Cozy is the best way for small landlords and renters to get things done.
Founded in March 2012 and based in San Francisco, Cozy’s mission is to radically change the rental real estate experience with a focus on beautifully designed products, transparency, privacy, and total control of one’s personal information.
Cozy is backed by The Social+Capital Partnership, Google Ventures, and noted angel investors Tim Ferriss, Jason Calacanis, and Gary Vaynerchuck. Our founders are former lead designers and engineers from Flickr, Kosmix (now @Walmartlabs), Splunk, and Capital One.

Las Vegas (PRWEB) June 06, 2013
Las Vegas-based tech startup imagoo has launched its social polling iPhone app and Web platform that lets consumers, brands and businesses issue challenges and comparisons and vote on content in real time. The company has raised $ 1.2 million from an angel investor to fuel the launch and development of its mobile platform.
imagoo, which was born out of a few friends’ hunger for friendly competition, moves beyond the typical social polling features and enables users to issue challenges, which pit users head-to-head against their friends or other users on the network. The result is a real-time poll pushed to the imagoo community in which anyone can vote to determine the winner, whether the debate is about sports teams, politics, food, fashion or dozens of other categories.
“It’s human nature for people to believe their opinions and possessions are best,” said Mickey Hernandez, imagoo’s founder and CEO. “imagoo lets users test that assumption instantly through the unbiased opinions of others. We saw an opportunity to take the need to prove yourself among your peers and turned it into something much bigger.”
In addition to challenges, key features of the app include:
“This or This” – A comparison feature that lets users solicit opinions on two items through real-time polling. Users can ask for feedback or cast their vote on any two items, services, brands or products. For example, a user who is out shopping can ask the imagoo community what pair of shoes they prefer and receive feedback before they leave the store.
Activity feed – Users can follow their friends and stay on top of new challenges and comparisons as they happen.
Quick voting – imagoo makes it easy for users to cast their votes on hundreds or thousands of active challenges and comparisons.
Social media integration – Whether a user issues a challenge or comparison poll, Facebook and Twitter integration make it easy for users to access the opinions of friends in their social networks.
Businesses also benefit from imagoo through access to real-time customer insight. Using imagoo, businesses can poll followers and other users on the network and receive instant feedback. The polls and challenges that businesses create serve as real-time A/B testing. Instead of investing in expensive consumer data tools, businesses can use imagoo to access opinions quickly, easily and informally.
Download imagoo for free from the iTunes App Store. For more information about imagoo, visit http://www.imagoo.com.

The first and only week designed to celebrate and inspire women, S.H.E. Summit Week (June 10-16), is back for its second year with an expanded lineup of global events and a marquee women’s leadership and lifestyle conference, S.H.E. Summit (June 14-15).
S.H.E. Summit Week will feature approximately 100 pop-up events designed for and by women held in cities coast to coast — including metropolises like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta; along with smaller locations like Addison, Texas; Newcastle, Wash.; and Indianapolis — making it a truly national women’s week. Worldwide, S.H.E. Summit Week will include events in London, Toronto, Madrid and even Nairobi.
“With Restaurant Week, Fashion Week, Internet Week, Social Media Week and even Shark Week, we have weeks dedicated to celebrating and learning about almost everything under the sun. Yet women, who make up more than half the U.S. population, drive 85 percent of all purchasing decisions, and own more than 8.6 million businesses that generate over $ 1.3 trillion in revenues, had no week to call their own until S.H.E. Summit Week,” said Founder Claudia Chan. “S.H.E. Summit Week is an opportunity to showcase and celebrate women’s achievements, while offering women a dedicated week to serve their passions and curiosities, while discovering new brands and relationships.”
Standing for “She Helps Empower,” S.H.E. Summit Week was created by Women’s Leadership and Lifestyle Expert Claudia Chan.

Events across the country and worldwide will cover topics that interest women, including networking, entrepreneurship, career development, personal finance, beauty, wellness and causes, giving women a chance to gather in person, learn, celebrate and find inspiration in each other.

“With the completion of this ground breaking U.S. equity crowdfunding round, we have not only been able to raise some of the capital that we need to continue to expand across Canada and the United States, but have also been able to attract experienced consumer packaged goods U.S. angel investors into our shareholder base who, we believe, will be invaluable in helping us to continue to grow our brand in the United States and increase the sales of our products in the U.S. through our new U.S. e-commerce site http://www.wafushop.com.” said WAFU CEO Gil Michel-Garcia.

Quebec, Canada (PRWEB) June 10, 2013
The International Gaming League, a new competitor in the ever-growing field of eSports, is preparing to kickstart its fundraising efforts in the wake of MLG raising $ 70 million in venture capital. IGL, one of the first eSports startups to challenge the space, has already seen intense interest from a variety of investors, thanks to the investment communities’ interest in the eSports phenomenon.
Through its website, PlayIGL.com, the International Gaming League (IGL) provides a location for amateur gamers to practice their skills, playing in tournaments and engaging in quick play. The company plans to move forward in coming months through a fundraising campaign.
“The company is kickstarting its fundraising efforts six months following its graduation from top Canadian accelerator FounderFuel,” Eyal Toledano, founder of the International Gaming League, says. “With investors such as Real Ventures (past investments include Execution Labs, Frank & Oak, Unbounce, Beyond the Rack and more) and the BDC IT Venture Fund already committed to seeing the eSports phenomenon continue to grow in North America, International Gaming League is poised to become the de facto destination for Amateur eSports.”
FounderFuel is a Montreal-based accelerator program that helps early-stage technology startups raise seed capital. During IGL’s time in the incubator, its founder was able to network with some of the best minds in business today. The three-month program helped connect Toledano with the angel investors and venture capitalists a startup needs to get started.
The phenomenal success of Major League Gaming has led to an industry of passionate gamers who compete in tournaments and participate in leagues. IGL gives casual, amateur and experienced gamers the opportunity to live the eSports experience online, within the context of a league similar to their professional counterparts. Because eSports have so far been exclusive to a group of highly-talented individuals who have gone pro, IGL’s goal is to introduce eSports to a more mainstream audience.
During PAX East, the International Gaming League conducted an open beta in which aspiring gamers of all experience levels were allowed to try out the platform. As a result, The International Gaming League has seen a rapidly-expanding user base that illustrates the need for an environment where aspiring eSports players can learn and hone their skills before competing in a more advanced arena.
As Toledano explains, the timing is perfect to launch a new eSports startup. In 2008, the Cyberathlete Amateur League was acquired and earlier this year, Blizzard Entertainment bought the IGN Pro League. This alone is testament to the growing trend, which fits in perfectly with the expanding popularity of gaming on smartphones and tablets.
Through its website, PlayIGL.com, the International Gaming League offers the opportunity to join teams, participate in tournaments, or simply watch matches in real time. Currently, the site boasts thousands of players and growing, with hundreds of teams already having formed. International Gaming League has connected with some of the bigger names in the industry, creating a competitive environment for games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Starcraft 2, League of Legends, Dota 2, ShootMania® Storm and more. Through IGL’s platform, game developers can increase user engagement around their titles through an ever-renewing competitive ecosystem.
