Our business model is to capture the synergies between Vrfy.me and MeetingWave.com. Vrfy.me makes online transactions safer. MeetingWave.com helps members arrange targeted networking meetings with the exact type of people they want to meet... new clients, customers, business contacts or fellow alumni - while traveling or near home or work.
Ultimately, we will allow members to meet nearby potential clients, customers, new business or social contacts or fellow alumni wherever they are. Features include...
-Members can simply describe the type of people they would like to meet.
-Meetings are only confirmed if everyone agrees to meet and names and contact information are private until members are ready to exchange business cards.
-Double-blind messaging is provided to facilitate meeting planning. Moreover, members can have their work or alumni email addresses "verified" by MeetingWave and display an indication of that verification (e.g., @ibm.com or @brown.edu) on their profile. This allows members to verify to other members where they work and went to school.

The mission of Triplefy is to help locally owned, independent businesses thrive by providing them with another way to reach out to and connect with customers. By providing small businesses with an easy way to offer Deals and sell eGift Cards online, Triplefy enables them to attract and compete for customers that might have otherwise opted to spend their hard earned money at a large, national retailer or service provider. Triplefy empowers small businesses by giving them full control over the whole process. They do not need to negotiate terms of Deals or when they're available to their customers. They simply create a Deal on their terms and can then Pause or Activate them on demand. It's all about building customer loyalty and relationships, not drive-by traffic.

With over 400 electronic health record (EHR) solutions on the market, doctors need help to narrow their choices & use the technology effectively. EHR vendors need TCR's evaluations for internal product assessment & customer credibility.
Medical and nursing schools have focused on clinical aspects, and not on the business and information technology needed to run a practice. Many physicians, nurses, and practice administration staff are ill prepared to evaluate or use EHR technology. TCR fills this void by helping healthcare providers make informed EHR decisions.This expertise is essential given EHRs cost up to $100K per physician to implement, and over half of EHR systems fail.
