cWyze, Laan Labs and Ohanarama: first three Spring 2010 Switch presenters

This Switch Philly post is made possible thanks to the Wharton School of Business, Genacast Ventures, VC Deal Lawyer and the City of Philadelphia. Interested in sponsoring Switch? Let us know.

Switch Philly is all about showing off the great products being created by Philly companies every day. With that in mind, we’re excited to announce three of the five companies slated to demo during the Spring 2011 Switch Philly on April 26th at the Wharton School of Business during Philly Tech Week.

After the jump we preview the next three Switch presenters, including a company that makes Facebook more family friendly, another that will rock your next house party and a third that aims to make web video much more fun (and profitable).

cWyze – whose investors include former Philadelphia mayoral candidate Sam Katz – aims to take video advertisements to the next level making video advertisements more fun for consumers and more useful for advertisers.

Laan Labs will be showing off Tap DJ, the iPhone application that turns your phone into a fully functioning turntable set by pulling music directly from your iPod library. Read more about the application in our post yesterday about the iPhone dev shop.

A play off of the Hawaiian word for “family,” Ohanarama allows families to create private networks to play games over Facebook. Users can win prizes and coupons by competing with other families.

We’re still looking for two more companies. If you’re interested, please fill out this form and further information is available at SwitchPhilly.com. We promise to get back to you as soon as possible.
