Genotrope Record: BankFox
Funding Status: Seed
Investors: Founders
Founders or Execs past companies: Sconex, Endeca
Industry: Consumer Web, Financial, B2C
Offering Description: There are many sites for comparing bank products but most of them are focused on rates. While we think rates are important, we also believe that there’s a lot more you need to know to choose a bank – like information on fees, online tools, bank health, branch location, customer service, special requirements, and more, all of which are included on our site. By publishing all of this additional data, we strive to be the most comprehensive website for choosing bank products.

TestCase is a cool event happening @ betahouse this Thursday. While the giant schmoozefest meetups are valuable, we think there is room for a smaller meetup with a more practical approach.
Webheads, free pizza+beer and a bit of testing. Register Here attendance is Limited.
Josh Porter owner of Bokardo Design and author of Designing for the Social Web, will be conducting a Lightning Usability/Comprehension test with the participating start-ups. Three of them may be new to you.
Come out and have some fun and learn something too. Genotrope is one of the sponsors.
Thanks to our Sponsor of TestCase I
