SEATTLE, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- ZINO Society has awarded the 2009 ZINO
Zillionaire Investment Funds in two categories: $60,000 Best Technology
Investment to Enroute Systems Corporation and $60,000 Best Non-Technology
Investment to MicroGREEN Polymers, Inc.


Enroute Systems Corporation combines business analytics and transportation
management software to reduce cost and improve shipping efficiency for
parcel-shipping businesses. "We are delighted to be recognized by the ZINO
Society as the 2009 ZZIF Best Technology Investment," said Keith McCall, CEO
of Bellevue, WA-based Enroute Systems Corporation. "The combination of
business contacts and capital provided by the ZINO Society over the past year
has helped us accelerate the growth of Enroute's ShipIt! family of
software-as-a-service products." 


MicroGREEN Polymers Inc creates environmentally sound consumer products by
injecting billions of tiny bubbles into plastic, saving money and making
common plastic products more environmentally sustainable. "We are honored to
receive the ZZIF 2009 Non-Technology Best Investment Fund Award.  The award
money, together with funds we secured for our upcoming Series B closing, will
be used to build-out our facilities to full commercial production scale. This
will enable us to further demonstrate to CPGs how Ad-air(TM) empowers them to
lower the material costs of plastic products and improve their sustainability
to meet growing consumer demands," said Tom Malone, CEO of MicroGREEN
Polymers.


The two companies presented at the 4th Annual ZINO Zillionaire Investment
Forum, September 17, 2009 and were selected by ZZIF Fund Investors after a
period of due diligence.  28 entrepreneurs presented their business plans to
investors. "We were pleasantly surprised by the increased participation in our
investment fund, enabling us to present a total of $120,000 rather than the
previously announced $100,000," noted Cathi  Hatch, ZINO Society CEO. "I think
this reflects well on the caliber and credibility of our entrepreneurs."
