The ballots are in! They have all been counted and recounted, and we have a winner for this year’s Vator Splash SF:
It’s PokitDok!
Pokitdok is a price transparent health marketplace where consumers shop directly from providers for high value health services. Consumers can search by condition or specialty and request a price quote directly from providers.
PokitDok is the first solution to integrate all competitive solutions (consumer reviews, brokered pricing, provider listings, bookings and Physician Ratings) into one health marketplace capturing and retaining consumer attention from activation through conversion.
The company, which has members of the AMA as part of its team, has procured 500 practices after being in beta for only six months.
PokitDok saw $400,000 in revenue in the first qyarter, and has $2 million in the pipeline.
While the company does not have any current relationships with insurance providers, it plans to partner with them in the future.
We should also say congrats to The Kive Company for winning the People’s Choice Award.
The Kive Company allows parents to take, tag, and chronologically store your child’s art and school work – then turn it into a hard cover book with little more than the touch of a button.
Nearly every parent in the world has faced the same problem: what to do with all that artwork kids create. It may seem like a trivial issue, but the initial, overwhelming response to Artkive would tell you otherwise. With Artkive, you’ll never again feel guilty about throwing stuff away.
Users are using the app to collect not just their children’s artwork but documenting events such as pregnancy, early smile, bdays, first days of school and pets.
The company has 100,000 users and has seen half a million pictures uploaded. 20% of the company’s users put up at least 10 pictures in their first week of using the app.
The company makes money by selling the app for 2.99, and will eventually sell customized products and lincense the app to children’s companies such as Nickeledeon.
Here are the rest of our finalists:
