Zenput is a mobile enterprise company that helps the likes of Domino's, 7-Eleven, Chipotle, etc manage their people and store operations. We operate across 35 countries and get to work with fun customers solving great problems!
We are a collective team of 25 with an HQ in San Francisco, a growing office in Atlanta and a few remote team members.
Our software stack leans heavily on JSON, HTML5 and Javascript. We extensively use Backbone in the frontend, connected to a Python/Django backend, with MySQL and Mongo for persistence. Our iOS and Android apps are also fully written with HTML and Javascript to round out our end-to-end JSON based stack.
I'm one of the two founders and CEO. Feel free to reach out to me directly at vladik@zenput.com if you have any questions.

I've started putting more and more money into lendingclub. The returns have been great and you can scale how much you put in slowly. Would definitely suggest checking it out.
Too bad there isn't a similar service here in Uruguay, it would absolutely kill the competition - OTOH credit risk and regulations are both a lot harder here, that's why lenders can get away with 43% annnual interest rates, which after inflation and costs mean they're getting at least 20% return on their money (I used to work for Equifax Uruguay, and they were doing extremely well).
Lending Club offers 9% according to that article, but it's lower risk.
I would suggest investing in Uruguay, but investing abroad is not for everyone, and most likely not for someone in his mid-twenties.
Angel investment or venture capital or soft loans for startups in Uruguay / Argentina would be very welcome, though :) and I'm pretty sure there's a good opportunity there.
