I sat on a panel at the very nicely done newly renamed Bootstrapper Summit we looked at several companies. They were ( in no particular order)

Encoding.comwhich I will leave Techcrunch to explain what it does http://www.techcrunchit.com/2008/06/26/encodingcom-relaunches-as-saas-video-encoding-platform/ 

Safeguard Guarantee – which pitches itself as ” an insurance company for marriage” – my take: it’s a nice concept and has a good chance of success. That being said- it is essentially a forced saving plan for people who are getting married.  If they get divorced they get the money : if they dont they dont get the money. Regardless,  it has a good managment team and a unique concept and it could work.
