Conway has a vested interest in each of them, but given that Conway has seen countless pitches (and invested in hundreds of startups), his top twelve list is worth reading.

Here are the startups that Conway invited on stage:

• Votizen — A platform for helping citizens connect with government representatives. See our past coverage here.
• BankSimple – Trying to fix banking; will be launching a BankSimple card next year, and will offer an API to developers to help build an open banking platform. Our coverage here.
• Blekko – A new search engine that lets you filter queries using slash tags. After launching two weeks ago, it’s up to a million queries per day. Our past coverage here.
• Hipmunk – An improved, smarter flight search engine. See our past coverage here.
• Optimizely – An easier way to conduct A/B testing. See our past coverage here.
• 1000memories — A way to remember deceased friends and loved ones on the web. See our past coverage here.
• ElationEMR – Details seem vague at this point, but sounded like this involves electronic records.
• Greplin – A service that lets you search across all of your web accounts: Dropbox, Gmail, Facebook, etc. You can see our past coverage here.
