Cc:Betty, Inc.

Conference: DEMO 09
Market Segment: Consumer Software and Services
Funding Amount: $0-$100,000
Funding Round: Seed
Funding Details: Initial seed funding provided by Venrock.
Competitors: No direct competitors. Xoopit, Xobni or Grouply could emerge as secondary competitors.
Product Description: Email is our original social network, to-do list and means of collaboration. It's where we get things done and, as a result, is prone to clutter and confusion. Cc:Betty works as a personal email assistant to initiate and sort through emails and parse conversations, files, images, media, dates and places, in the spirit of saving time while collaborating and coordinating with groups of people.
Market Opportunity: The Radicati Group estimates 183 billion emails are sent daily by 1.2 billion people. Comscore Media Metrix cites 651 million people on Yahoo! Mail, Windows Live Mail, Gmail and AOL Mail.
DEMO Says: We're conducting more and more business dialogs via email, a tool that is great at delivering information, but not so effective when it comes to parsing and organizing it. Cc:Betty acts like a personal assistant to organize and package email-based information, turning email messages into Web-based collaboration spaces. Designed initially for work teams, we suspect Cc:Betty has her work cut out for her across a variety of business and personal productivity applications.
