| How they describe themselves:
BillShrink is a new, free online service that helps
consumers save money by making continuously updated, personalized, usage-based
recommendations on everyday services such as cell phones and credit cards. BillShrink
automatically monitors the market’s millions of continuously changing product
combinations, as well as each user’s individual usage behavior, and makes unbiased
recommendations on plans and cards, as ranked by the technology. BillShrink seeks to
provide transparency between consumers and service providers, and is the only service of
its kind to translate layers of technical babble designed to confuse consumers into
actionable, money-saving recommendations. BillShrink will soon expand into other
complex services.
What they think makes them better: In September 2008, BillShrink added credit cards
to its product offering, revealing the true costs and value of rewards for cardholders. For
the first time, consumers can access a quantified, dollar-for-dollar comparison of credit
cards tailored to their personal usage and spending behavior. No other online credit card
resource goes to the same level of detail and personalization as BillShrink, which makes
unbiased recommendations based on data from more than 200 of the most popular credit
cards from major banks. By simply entering a few details about their credit card usage
and preferences, consumers can quickly access personalized recommendations.
Executives: Peter Pham (CEO), Schwark Satyavolu (Co-Founder), Samir Kothari (Co-
Founder)
Investors: David Cowan (Bessemer Venture Partners), Gus Tai (Trinity Ventures)
Partnerships: BillShrink works with the four major cell phone carriers and more than
200 credit cards from popular banks to provide unbiased, personalized recommendations
to consumers based on their spending and usage patterns.
