AccelerEyes
AccelerEyes was formed in June 2007 to deliver on its vision of creating and leading the movement towards “Personal Supercomputing.” Just as personal computing dominated mainframe computing in the 1980s, AccelerEyes will dominate clustered supercomputing by bringing a level of supercomputing power to personal computers. AccelerEyes will accomplish this mission by delivering powerful software solutions to the high performance computing (HPC) market.
Band Metrics
Band Metrics analyzes, ranks and scores the overall popularity of a musician, band or song by aggregating and interpreting all relevant online content. The Company achieves this through its patent-pending Popularity Profiling System ("PPS"). This system aggregates comprehensive information about bands and musicians from across the global Internet landscape, calculating both quantitative and qualitative data and then returning the results in an easy-to-use, Google style analytical dashboard.
TalentSoup
An interactive service that provides a highly efficient matching engine to connect talent with advertising projects.
