OnlineChoice.com™ is a service that uses the power of the Internet and the power of group buying for Their customers. The company, located in Pittsburgh, PA, was founded in August 1999 with the venture backing of DQE Enterprises, Draper Triangle Ventures, Lycos Ventures, The Hillman Company and Homestore.com. OnlineChoice™ operates on the principle of “Group Buying Power.” Suppliers of goods and services save money on marketing costs if they sell to a single, large group of people, rather than to individuals. Applying this theory, OnlineChoice™ uses the convenience of the Internet to collect groups of consumers interested in saving money on goods and services such as electricity, natural gas, communication services and more.
