4Blox, San Jose, CA

4Blox is a software company focused on dramatically improving the performance of Storage Area Networks (SAN’s) that are based on the iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface) protocol.  While there are hardware techniques and solutions that increase the performance of iSCSI today (by typically “off-loading” one or more protocols into hardware), 4Blox is a next generation software-only solution that is ideally positioned to accelerate iSCSI performance for a wide variety of storage hardware and software vendors.

Aravo Solutions, San Francisco, CA

During the technology boom of the late 90s, companies invested tens of millions of dollars in “e-procurement” software. The promise of this software is to allow large companies to do all of their purchasing electronically, but in many cases suppliers are small businesses that do not have the financial resources or technology expertise to implement expensive software solutions. Aravo solves this problem by selling an affordable, web-based software program that links a small business inventory system to the multi-million dollar e-procurement systems run by Fortune 1000 companies and large government and university procurement offices.

Samba, Albuquerque, NM

Many large industries, such as insurance, banking, titling, and automotive, depend on interaction with public records data such as driving records and vehicle registration to manage the risk associated with large driver fleets.
