ekipa vs Qapital

The global marketplace for software teams

ekipa is the global marketplace for software teams.

ekipa helps customers get their software projects done (or IT problems resolved) by matching projects/problems with best-suitable teams.
Importantly, teams are co-located, vetted and have experience (technology, domain, industry) in specific customer problems.

Ekipa addresses:
the outsourcing partner search problem (so far partners are sought with help of Google or own network),
partner quality check problem (teams are vetted) and
delivery risk problem (teams work in agile way where frequent delivery decreses the risk of the final delivery failure)

Save small, live large. Use gamified automatic savings to meet your financial goals. Get the life you want with the money you've already got.

Qapital is a new mobile-first banking app dedicated to changing the way that young professionals and millennials save and spend. Millennials are more credit-shy and debt-burdened than their parents, and the ongoing fallout of the Great Recession has diminished their trust in conventional banking. Qapital uses gamified, automatic savings to allow its customers set aside small amounts of money regularly, so they can have the things they want — without relying on credit.

Customers can create a unique and fun (yes, fun) savings plan that blends seamlessly into their lifestyle. The product enables them to set up rules that trigger automatic savings for a specific goal. As an example, every time a Qapital user resists the temptation to buy a latte, she can trigger the app to put the equivalent cost into an FDIC-backed Qapital account. Users can direct these savings toward a goal of their choosing, such as a trip to Paris or a security deposit on a new apartment, or set them aside as a rainy-day fund.
