The New Orleans Exchange Announces Investment From Fidelity Ventures


NEW ORLEANS, November 26, 2007 - The New Orleans Exchange (NOE) announced today that Fidelity Ventures has made an investment in the company. The New Orleans Exchange (NOE) is America’s first centralized marketplace for providing quick and efficient access to working capital for small and middle market companies. The company is preparing to launch its initial exchange, The Receivables Exchange (www.ReceivablesXchange.com), America’s first online exchange for buying and selling commercial receivables.

“Fidelity Ventures has researched and analyzed the best business models in the online world of B2B payment flow models,” said Fidelity Ventures Partner Larry Cheng, who currently serves on the boards of eCredit, Prosper and mindSHIFT Technologies. “We believe The New Orleans Exchange is best positioned to transform the multi-trillion dollar asset-based lending industry and become a market leader.”

“Fidelity Ventures brings significant insight to The New Orleans Exchange. We believe Fidelity Venture’s experience, relationship with Fidelity Investments’ distribution network, data service providers and small business network, will be extremely valuable to us as we continue to grow and expand the business,” said Justin Brownhill, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of The New Orleans Exchange. “Fidelity Venture’s understanding, reputation and reach in this marketplace makes for a terrific partner.”

“Current estimates are that over $25 trillion in accounts receivable are booked each year on balance sheets in Corporate America, valuing the asset class in the U.S. alone at nearly half the size of the global stock market,” said Nic Perkin, Co-founder and President of The New Orleans Exchange (NOE). “The Receivables Exchange solves the inefficiencies that currently exist in the marketplace for accessing working capital.”
