The Philadelphia Business Journal has a writeup on recent alumni of DreamIt Ventures’ accelerator program and specifically calls out Notehall and SeatGeek.

Notehall, which provides a marketplace for students to buy and sell class notes, was also apparently featured on ABC’s Shark Tank.   While the site launched at the University of Arizona, the company is using new funding to diversify to as many universities around the country as possible.  The site uses a prepurchased credit system for the economics within the site.  Sellers take 40% on the sale of their documents.  Credits are awarded for various things, including rating documents you’ve purchased, which adds a nice layer to, and encourages, the credibility system of who you should purchase your notes from.  They are based out of Manayunk.

SeatGeek, who formally launched at the TechCrunch50 this past September, also got a nice part in the Journal piece.  They use a predictive model to determine the trends and future prices of sporting and concert events.  Using this information buyers and sellers can pick the most opportune times to make their transactions.  SeatGeek currently has affiliate relationships with brokers but will also have premium level services in the future as another revenue source.

Great to see local startups getting so much attention.
