"Prior to investing, the team at Azure takes a highly disciplined and analytical investment approach... post-investment, Azure can be relied upon to provide well informed, practical guidance to management and the board. I view Azure as a key asset - because smart money is so much better than just money."
Andy Vought - Former CEO, Broadlight

 Bill Me Later
Bill Me Later develops and operates technology and processes related to the offering of the Bill Me Later Payment System. Bill Me Later is an innovative new payment system designed for the rapidly growing market of web and catalog based sales and allows consumers to skip the work and worry of entering lengthy credit card numbers at point of sale. This strategic new payment option produces dramatic incremental sales for merchants by attracting new consumers seeking greater payment convenience, security or purchasing power. Bill Me Later has strategic alliances for merchant distribution with the largest payment companies in the industry, including First Data Corporation and Paymentech. Through these alliances, Bill Me Later can be offered by over 70% of the merchants through the same scaled infrastructure that manages credit card transactions. This makes Bill Me Later the first new payment method since the Discover Card to be made so broadly available within the United States.
