Richard Straver, Co-Founder Tinypay.me is the easiest way to sell physical and digital stuff online. Within 60 seconds, your item is ready to be sold on Facebook, Twitter and even on your own website.

Arnaud Collin, VP of Marketing & Product Management Offermatic is pioneering a new marketing model that changes how consumers save money, and how merchants acquire customers in a highly targeted, personal way. Consumers connect any credit or debit card to Offermatic’s free online service to receive highly targeted offers based on their actual spending history. Customers then shop as they normally would, in any store offline or online. Since the offers and savings are loaded directly to their card, there are no coupons or vouchers to deal with. Merchants can personalize offers based on individual behavior and spending habits.  http://www.Offermatic.com // @offermatic

j-Grab launched a service that enables English speaking users to search 100 million units of Japanese products and buy directly from individual shippers in Japan. j-Grab changes a cross border commerce from "difficult to search, expensive, troublesome and a limited selection" to "searchable in English, cheap, fun and a wide variety of selection."   http://www.j-grab.com  // @jgrab_en
