Bitcoin is maturing from a hobbyist experiment to a serious financial instrument. Institutional investors, traders, and money managers want access to trading tools and services to connect themselves with the bitcoin economy. Those services do not exist and this is preventing many of them from trading bitcoin.We are building an SEC registered broker dealer that can transact in bitcoin for institutional customers. Our team of industry veterans is building a brokerage that will allow US based fund managers to actively trade bitcoin across multiple trading venues from one account. Red Leaf Capital will provide institutional customers with custodial account services, statements, third party valuation, and access to bitcoin lending.Red Leaf Capital is not an exchange or a payment processor. We are building a brokerage where world class proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, and money managers can trade across multiple exchanges.TECHNOLOGYThe technology that Red Leaf uses is relatively straight forward for those involved in the electronic trading business. It breaks out into two major components. Order routing and management, and back-office accounting.Customary electronic trading operations operate what is known as a FIX gateway. This allows customers to send orders and receive confirmations and transaction data in real-time using an industry standard FIX protocol. Once an order is sent into our gateway, we will check it against several measures including checking the overall risk of the customers account and other high-frequency trading checks. Then depending on the type of order it is routed out to the appropriate exchange. The "order router" is a common phrase used in electronic trading to describe the technology that determines where and how an order is routed. We have extensive buy-side and sell-side experience building order routers.

Morsel is a platform for chefs, mixologists, sommeliers, etc. ("chefs") to tell their stories through a series of individual pictures and/or text ("morsels"). A series of morsels, or a progression, might follow the evolution of a particular dish from farm to table or an unusual technique used to prepare an item. A series of progressions can be grouped into a collection which might represent a larger concept like this year's winter menu.While our users express and share their "art" and inspirations, they're generating incredibly rich content with a tremendous ability to engage diners and press in a unique way. Engaging with other users as an individual is free, but restaurants must pay for the ability to leverage the content and engage their audience. As engagement between restaurants and diners grows, we're starting to pour the foundation for a data-driven restaurant CRM which allows a restaurant to treat all their guests like a VIP. That's our goal.

Founders’ Story: Leo Akselrud and Russ Berkun met several years ago while playing pick-up soccer games in Chicago. As both of them were born in the former USSR, Leo and Russ quickly bonded as soccer runs through their veins. At that time Leo was running a profitable healthcare company generating over $1.2MM gross revenue per year. Russ was a successful IT consultant specializing in software architecture and social media integration. As Leo and Russ friendship progressed they began to participate in many other sports including tennis, racquetball, and boxing. Ultimately they both joined the same local health club to workout and train together. As extremely busy professionals they had a very difficult time finding a right work / life balance. There simply was not enough time to work, spend time with their families and stay in shape. As a result, Leo and Russ dedicated themselves to create a company where individuals have easy access to effective, rewarding and productive live video training sessions while saving considerable amount of time and money.Elevator Pitch: Trainerly connects customers to fitness trainers of their choice via interactive 2-way, High Definition video stream for convenient, affordable and personalized 1-on-1 or group workout sessions.

All of the site’s trainers are experienced, certified, and undergo an extensive vetting process prior to going live on the website. Trainerly prices are extremely affordable, especially for group workouts starting from about $5/class. Marketing / Promotion Strategy: Trainerly is looking to strategically place itself as an online extension of gyms, clubs, fitness studios and training facilities by allowing these organizations to use Trainerly video chat platform to train their clients who are not able to physically attend an in-class session. Our main goal is to expand the services offered by personal training facilities from local to global with a click of a button.Furthermore, we provide all gyms, clubs and studios with all the necessary tools to self-promote their business via social media and email marketing. Trainerly acts merely as a video chat conduit between a fitness studio and the client(s).Market Opportunity: In the United States., there are over 260,000 personal trainers. There are twice as many trainers that live outside the U.S.As the fitness sector has steadily gained revenue over the past few years, IBISWorld expects it to expand even further in the next five-year period. Consumers are expected to increase their health consciousness from 2012 to 2017 resulting in more Americans desiring to exercise. Exercise has already become a priority in many Americans lives rather than a leisure activity. Therefore, even as the amount of time spent on leisure drops with improvement in the employment rate, consumers will still make time for daily exercise.According to Nielsen Company report, even in the downturn economy the fitness DVDs market is thriving. In 2010, total home video sales were down 7 percent from 2009, but home fitness videos were up 7 percent.Furthermore, with the advancement of social media marketing channels, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, people in the United States as well as internationally are connected to each other like never before. According to SocialBakers.com 53% of the entire United States population is currently using Facebook. In addition, new companies such as OpenTok.com or AddLive.com allow users to view live training sessions / videos over the internet in a single or group environment. This type of live video / audio streaming technology only became available a few years ago.Target Market: Trainerly is ideal for busy professionals that have difficulty finding time to workout in the gym due to their busy and often times hectic schedules. We also focus on stay-at-home moms that don't have time to visit the gym because they are busy taking care of their kids. Trainerly works great for road warriors to plug in and workout from their hotel room as well as out of shape individuals who are simply too embarrassed to visit the gym. Trainerly also has very strong appeal to athletes, retirees, and those rehabbing from muscle or joint injuries.Our Difference: Although there are several video chat platforms out there, Trainerly offers a customized experience that’s built specifically around your abilities, goals and personal limitations.There are absolutely no subscription plans or membership fees for trainers or clientsAll sessions are video streamed in High Definition, TV-like quality so you will literally feel as if the personal trainer is standing right beside you to motivate, guide, and inspire throughout the entire workout session.
