- ImageBrief — ImageBrief is an online marketplace that connects image buyers with a global network of professional photographers. Buyers can post a brief for an immediate image requirement and photographers submit images that are tailored to the buyer's request.Targeted at advertising agencies, marketing departments, magazines and graphic designers,ImageBrief provides an alternative solution for image buyers who no longer wish to spend hours trawling through image stock libraries. ImageBrief is not a stock library but is a crowd sourced buyer-driven marketplace connecting image buyers and photographers. By letting buyers outline their needs within a brief and allowing photographers to respond, it turns the traditional image buying process on its head. ImageBrief provides a new way for buyers to source rights-managed images that perfectly match their usage and exclusivity requirements. Photographers ensure that their image meets the requirements before submitting, which means buyers only see images they can actually use.ImageBrief also allows buyers and photographers to interact and collaborate directly while working on the brief. Both buyers and photographers can ask questions, provide each other with feedback, or clarify requirements. Perhaps the greatest difference however is that buyers establish their usage requirements and budget up-front. This allows photographers to understand the terms of the brief and to decide whether to respond.

- EBY — EBY is a membership-based company driving profits with purpose. EBY repositions underwear as a tool for empowerment rather than one of seduction. In fact, 10% of net sales go to the Seven Bar Foundation to empower women out of poverty and into business via microfinance with a small loan, what we call a first break, that can be as little as $80or as large as $7,000. This loan enables an underprivileged woman to start or grow her business. As she becomes self-sufficient the cycle of poverty is broken. Loans are repaid and passed to another woman, creating a multiplier effect. EBY consistently fuels this loop so that it never ends, creating more first breaks and more bionic women. We’re not about token donations, but rather long-term solutions.
