Info on the companies we will be visiting:

Dwolla: Dwolla was founded in 2008 on the simple idea that moving money should be easy, fast and affordable. We were tired of high credit card fees and the antiquated processes of handling paper checks. We decided there had to be a better way—so we built it. Dwolla now facilitates the movement of millions of dollars every day with low transaction costs, easy automation and near-perfect reliability. The goal is to make an incredibly complex process feel simple, easy and seamless to the people who use it—our customers and their end users. www.Dwolla.com
