Ubiquio is an early-stage company with the goal of becoming the largest handheld service provider (HSP) in several vertical markets starting with healthcare.  Healthcare workers are turning to handheld wireless solutions in large numbers because they save lives, increase revenue and cut costs.  We manage the complex supply chain of vendors needed to provide an easy-to-use package to the physician – hardware manufacturers, software publishers, wireless carriers, content owners and more.  We add value by managing the less glamorous side of handheld devices:  financing, fulfillment, field installation, end-user training, customer support and warranty management.  Our customers are application vendors that sell software for handheld wireless prescribing, charge capture and laboratory tests.  Revenues are generated through annual group subscriptions based on a per-device, per-month fee. Our HSP services are typically private-labeled by each partner, in effect putting their sales organizations to work creating recurring revenue for the company.  ASPs, wireless, handhelds and outsourcing are collectively a $43 billion dollar market by 2003. www.ubiquio.com.

Profits Journal, published 12 times a year, Profits Journal links dozens of investors with small, cash-hungry companies located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas by reporting at least 10 stories and listings of entrepreneurs and small companies that are fetching their first, or next, serious round of equity financing (including how and from whom).   Profits Journal also reports on the current and upcoming investments by regional venture capitalists, hidden angels and other investors.  For those interested in publicly traded companies, Profits Journal reveals the region's best (and worst) small, publicly held companies based on its own proprietary stock screens, which out performed the Russel 2000 by 2-to-1 in 1998. And now it's all coming to the Internet as a functionally rich, content thick and sticky featured website designed and executed to serve entrepreneurs, investors and the service companies supporting their needs.
