Los Angeles (March 5, 2015) Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP is pleased to announce the admission of a new group of companies to join the third class of its Preccelerator Program.

Etouloo – Today online dating sites are all the same. Members answer boring, scientific questionnaires and then write dreaded profile essays. Setting up a profile can be intimidating for many people and it’s just not fun for anyone. Dating sites rely on email, which is an ineffective way to get know potential matches. Etouloo is an online dating service that uses gamified proprietary matchmaking algorithm to connect single adults via their unique gamified SparkFlirt(TM) platform.

LockAware – LockAware, Inc. is a new (2015) Los Angeles-based technology startup. LockAware’s primary goal is to significantly reduce fraudulent activity that is pervasive within the American locksmith industry. Its mission is to enable billions of dollars in lost revenue to be redirected to certified American locksmiths who operate as registered members of the LockAware network. LockAware Locksmiths, held to a high code of ethics and performance standards will aspire to restore legitimacy and trust to the time honored trade of locksmithing.

Swggr – The fashion love child of Instagram and Pinterest where users style themselves and others while being rewarded. Users host a virtual online closet “collection” where they can instantly style and share looks for themselves, friends and followers. Users rack up reward points that are redeemable for discounts from their favorite brands and retailers, exclusive merchandise, and special access to fashion tastemakers.

Verde Circle – A software company that develops business software and services geared toward small to medium sized businesses. Its initial product is a cloud-based software platform for managing inventory, sales orders, purchase orders and related communications.

The Program offers benefits such as free office space, real-time legal advice, partner perks, introductions to financing and other business services, and education and networking at their many in-house events.

The Preccelerator Program was launched early in 2013 and has had great success with its initial classes, which resulted in a majority of the companies being accepted into larger accelerator programs and incubators or successfully raising their seed funding round.

SAM Preccelerator Program Company Team(You) Announces Launch

Stubbs Alderton & Markiles’ client and Preccelerator Program company,
Team(You), a digital incentive tool, launched in June.
http://www.teamyou.co

The web application allows teachers and staff to administer incentive programs online. Through the system students are immersed in a token economy that increases financial literacy; the digital
tracking allows personalized student-teacher interactions.

The web application replaces incentives being widely used, like paper bucks or marbles in a jar through an easy to use seating chart interface. Students earn points for academic, life, and social skills like improving test scores, class participation, and helping out other students. Data is immediately recorded and can be analyzed by students and teachers.

Early demand is highest from innovative middle school principals looking to address the dropoff in student engagement in high school. “These principals are looking for the solution to that precipitous drop at the 8th grade,” says Andrew Cheeseman, Team(You) co-founder. “This system catches the students’ attention in 6th grade and continues with them through this critical growth spurt in their physical and emotional lives.”

Team(You) is the upgrade of a system with a seventeen-year development at after-school provider Bresee Foundation. Student engagement and enrollment boomed at the after school program, along with growth in the number of points students earned. Bresee students report that the chance to earn points was the reason they came, even on days they thought to skip.

Team(You) founder Cynthia Harrington, serial entrepreneur and financial services executive, volunteered to create a points-based financial curriculum that explained how the token economy was like real life, for which she was awarded the PF Bresee Award. Over 8,000 students have learned about earning and spending in real life while they accumulated over two million points. “These students helped to write the curriculum from their own experiences,” says Harrington. “I added financial concepts as well as questions that challenged them to critical thinking about math as well as life problems.”

Demand for such a product was evident from the beginning. “‘Why can’t we have this?’ any school leader who saw the Bresee system would inevitably ask,” says Harrington. “With that kind of demand, we had a duty to make it available.”

The time tested software system from Team(You) makes it easier for teachers to administer incentive programs that most are already using, and it offers digital tracking of important behavioral trends. The program serves students of all ages; special features are designed for particularly critical years for increasing student engagement.

About Team(You)

Team(You) is the digital tool that increases school engagement. Education is one of the last industries to cut labor costs and to increase outcomes through the innovative use of technology. Team(You)’s proven system has value to classrooms across the world, and the company is meeting the challenge to bring enterprise-level software to individual use in the classroom. Founded in 2013 by serial entrepreneur Cynthia Harrington and backed by Wall Street and tech executives, the token economy that students find fun is a powerful learning tool for financial education. The relevant lessons and real-time reporting increases engagement across the school day and facilitates Common Core. Honoring the innovation that comes from the non-profit sector, Bresee holds an ownership stake in Team(You).
