First i/o Ventures Demo Day Ever: Apps, Marketplaces And Facebook, Oh My!

I'm here in the i/o Ventures incubator, aka "a really geeky cafe" having just wrapped up a presentation of six i/o companies -- some that we've written about before and some that haven't yet launched (we're looking at you Skyara). My rough notes on the companies presenting below:

App Bistro -- A marketplace for Facebook business related apps, App Bistro attempts to circumvent some of the challenges around Facebook fan pages, giving brands an alternative to spending 1000s of dollars to market their apps, through an app store that lets users rate an review apps for businesses, which Facebook does not yet provid. Currently there are 20 million Facebook fan pages half of them for local businesses. App Bistro intends to monetize with a 70.30 revenue split, listing fees, sponsored placement.
