I’m Lucky To Have Bet on Mint vs. Wesabe…

I’m Lucky To Have Bet on Mint vs. Wesabe…

By Zoli Erdos on June 30, 2010

I’m sure as hell lucky to have bet on Mint when Microsoft Money died… but to be honest it was a flip of a coin decision, Wesabe, the other web-based personal finance management program looked just as attractive.   Good product, perfect pedigre, strong VC funding.   Now Wesabe is in the deadpool while Mint essentially became […]

MinTuit: a Second Look. (You Will Be Assimilated).

By Zoli Erdos on September 14, 2009

TechCrunch50 could not have asked for a better start:  they get to announce that personal finance startup Mint winner of the $50K grand prize @ TC50 two years ago just got acquired for $170M.

An era comes to an end on June 30th, when Microsoft discontinues their PFM (Personal Financial Management) product, Money.  The story started outside Microsoft, with a startup named Intuit releasing their first DOS-based PFM software, Quicken.   The concept was simple and powerful: balance your checkbook, keep track of your financial transactions electronically.

From Shoebox to Paperless, 22nd Century (?) Expense Management

By Zoli Erdos on March 4, 2009
