For the past few months, Firestorm Creative Studios has been grinding the axe heavy on a new business resource tool that is likely to cause a shift in how business network with one another. Obcidio is being built and billed as the “Ultimate Business Resource Tool” and Firestorm is pleased to announce that we are the happy programmers and designers under Obcidio’s hood.

What’s the Point?

Obcidio’s creators saw a need for businesses to grow outside their local and regional box: to make new contacts, form business relationships with new suppliers and find evasive capital funding in a dry economy. Obcidio does just that. It allows businesses to form strategic alliances with businesses, capital investors, service providers and resource providers then enables them to collaborate in a private or public shared “Board Room”.

Enter DPAL

Obcidio’s core focuses on investment and opportunity, allowing individual and professional private investors such as Venture Capital Investors and Angel Investors to find opportunities in otherwise obscure places. OBcidio’s deal finding power is based on DPAL, a proprietary search algorithm that enables Investors to quickly filter through thousands of opportunities and find the Deal that fits them perfectly. But DPAL has other uses as well, including comprehensive RFP system and Invoice Factoring deal types.

When’s It Coming Out

Obcidio is currently in the last stages of development and will be moving to Private Beta within weeks. The road map from Private to Public Beta is relatively short, so expect a public launch of Obcidio sometime in the first quarter of this year. If you’re curious about it, visit obcidio.com and watch the video to get a quick explanation of what it can do. And leave a comment, we’d love to hear thoughts about Obcidio.
