Lendio Closes $ 6 Million Round of Funding led by Highway 12 Ventures and GSA Venture Partners













Lendio Makes Small Business Loans Simple


South Jordan, Utah (PRWEB) February 18, 2011

Lendio (http://www.lendio.com), an online service that helps small business owners find lenders and secure loans, announced today that it has closed a $ 6 million Series A round of funding. Highway 12 Ventures and GSA Venture Partners (formerly Greenhill SAVP) led the round, alongside angel investor Josh James, founder of Omniture.

This financing will accelerate the public launch of Lendio’s new online service that matches qualified small business owners to banks, credit unions, and other lending sources. Using Lendio’s powerful online platform, small business owners are asked a series of questions to determine which loan category best suits their individual needs. Based on credit score, industry, revenue, timing, size of requested loan, and other parameters; Lendio instantly matches the small business owner with a selection of lenders that offer loans that best fit the small business owner’s profile.

Lendio is the result of years of experience assisting entrepreneurs to find and secure both debt and equity capital through FundingUniverse.com. While historically FundingUniverse.com offered one-on-one consulting (focused initially on equity capital and later on debt financing), Lendio leverages $ 240M of known small business loan approvals, previously established relationships with lenders, and thousands of customers to launch an online product that efficiently matches qualified small business owners to a customized selection of lending institutions.

“After more than a year of bootstrapped technology development and over five years of experience in the small business lending space, this strategic round of funding will enable us to accelerate the public beta launch of Lendio, and move more quickly to meet the enormous demand we are currently seeing in the small business market,” said Brock Blake, CEO of Lendio. “We’ve built the Lendio platform based on valuable customer feedback and a tremendous amount of data about the types of loans and lenders that currently exist in the marketplace. Lendio makes small business loans simple by aggregating all the information small business owners need in one place.”

“We are incredibly excited to partner with the Lendio team to help solve a huge problem in the small business lending space,” said Glenn Michael, General Partner at Highway 12 Ventures. “We believe Lendio will be a boon to both small business owners and lenders alike — small business owners will improve their chances of securing the best kind of loan while banks will have access to more qualified customers at a lower client acquisition cost.”

Brian Hirsch, general partner of GSA Venture Partners, also expressed his enthusiasm; “Lendio has the team and technology in place to create never-before-seen efficiencies in the small business lending space. We are big believers in small business and are excited to work with the team at Lendio to make applying for a small business loan simple.”

The company is funded by Highway 12 Ventures, GSA Venture Partners (formerly Greenhill SAVP), and angel investor Josh James, founder of Omniture. As part of the funding, Glenn Michael (Highway 12 Ventures) and Brian Hirsch (GSA Venture Partners) will join the company’s Board of Directors. Lendio formerly operated as FundingUniverse.com.

Spend Less Than You Make, a Common Sense Rule that America has Forgotten, According to a New Personal Finance Book

Spend Less Than You Make, a Common Sense Rule that America has Forgotten, According to a New Personal Finance Book











Ted Hunter is a successful businessman who wrote Money Smart to share his knowledge of cycles in both the real estate and financial markets and help people take control of their money and create financial freedom.


California (Vocus) November 12, 2010

How many people spend every raise they get? How many live at or above their means, spending more than they make? In the United States, about half of all families live at or above their means. The key to turning family finances around is living below your means. Making the change is an essential step to controlling personal finances in a tough economy, says Ted Hunter, author of Money Smart, a new book that guides the reader to financial freedom.

Living below your means simply means living on less money than comes in each month and saving any extra money earned through a pay increase or bonus instead of spending it on an increased standard of living. The difference can be dramatic, especially for those currently in debt. Hunter points out that financial success is not dependent on a high income, but comes from the smart use of any income. Money Smart contains nine Money Rules and Live Below Your Means is one of them. Living below your means is a vital step towards chipping away at any debt and increasing one’s ability to save money. When this rule is incorporated into the reader’s life their financial pressures decrease, and a growing sense of accomplishment and of being in control generate positive momentum towards creating financial security. “Live below your means,” states Hunter, “Almost every financially successful person does.”

Combining Hunter’s 60 years of experience and a common sense approach, Money Smart shows readers that they are capable of managing their money better than anyone else. Presenting easy-to-use tools and a clear list of rules to follow, Money Smart teaches readers to make solid, educated decisions so they can effectively manage their money and create financial freedom.

Money Smart can be purchased online at http://www.MoneySmartOnline.com and Amazon.com.

Revolutionary Turn-key Business Solution Launched for Establishing Vertical Market Ad Network Business

Revolutionary Turn-key Business Solution Launched for Establishing Vertical Market Ad Network Business











Vertical Market Ad Network


Carson City, NV (PRWEB) February 1, 2011

Poised to take the online advertising market by storm, Vertical Market Ad Network (VMAN), http://www.verticalmarketadnetwork.com , is launching an updated website, offering a new vertical market business solution. This proven solution heralds the imminent release of vertical ad networks in four brand new market niches. Vertical Market Ad Network is pioneering an online digital advertising network business solution that supports companies and individuals in building both a valuable asset and good income streams.

“Businesses need to maintain a market presence and generate sales in a cost efficient manner,” said Andrew Nester, spokesperson for Vertical Market Ad Network. “Even in this down economy there are hundreds of vertical markets that can support an advertising network business. Vertical Market Ad Network provides something unique in internet marketing — highly qualified prospects for distinct market niches.”

Ideal for advertising agencies, publishers and entrepreneurs who want to expand into digital advertising, Vertical Market Ad Network’s new business model provides a turn-key solution, with support and backup.

Two thriving online advertising networks who employ Vertical Market Ad Network’s business model are the Horse Advertising Network and the Noir Woman Ad Network. Each serves a highly targeted niche audience with ads carefully cultivated to their interests.

“Traditional ad networks use just the opposite, outmoded principle – serve ads to as many as possible, hoping at least a few respond,” says Nester. VMAN’s niche market ad network proves this approach is inefficient for those wanting to reach a specific buying audience, wasting both ad dollars and customer’s time. Serving a select group of targeted ads to an interested audience is more effective and a much better use of business resources and customers’ time.

Soon, VMAN will roll out vertical advertising networks in a host of different niche markets. Those markets simply scratch the surface of markets that can be tapped using the VMAN business model.

“VMAN provides our partners with a hassle-free business solution and business support to build a profitable online business without having to reinvent a business model for their market or having to make a large investment to build systems and infrastructure before they could start their marketing efforts,” said Nester. “The VMAN model requires good marketing but less infrastructure and support.”

For more information about the new Vertical Marketing Ad Network, visit http://www.verticalmarketadnetwork.com/. Be sure to check out its free business guide “How to Start a Vertical Market Ad Network Business and Build a Valuable Asset.”

Money Smart, a New Book About Achieving Financial Freedom Asks: What Are You Trading Your Dreams For?











Money Smart author, Ted Hunter, (pictured) shows readers that they are capable of managing their money better than anyone else. Presenting easy-to-use tools and a clear list of rules to follow, Money Smart teaches readers to make solid, educated decisions so they can effectively manage their money and make their dreams a reality.


California (Vocus) November 9, 2010

Money Smart author, Ted Hunter asks, “What are your hopes and dreams, your goals and desires?” Perhaps an unexpected question to find in a new book about achieving financial freedom. Not so, claims Hunter–in fact, it is probably the most important question to answer if the reader truly wants to reach their money goals. What matters most? Is it spending time with family and friends? Traveling the world? Owning a great home? Hunter states that making the mistake of spending money on low priority whims, trading away the things that matter most, is a not a trade worth making.

Money Smart acknowledges, that yes, identifying hopes and dreams can be difficult, but also points out that someone is unlikely to get the things they wish for unless they first identify them. Hunter explains that “every expenditure you make is a trade that requires you to give up something else and it’s critical to become consciously aware of the trades you are making.” Hunter contends that “only after you have clearly identified what it is you want from your life can you make good decisions regarding money and the role you want it to play in your life.” Money Smart and http://www.moneysmartonline.com provide a practical goal-focused approach and easy-to-use worksheets to help readers achieve those hopes and dreams.

Combining Hunter’s sixty years of experience and a common sense approach, Money Smart shows readers that they are capable of managing their money better than anyone else. Presenting easy-to-use tools and a clear list of rules to follow, Money Smart teaches readers to make solid, educated decisions so they can effectively manage their money and make their dreams a reality.

The Small Business Bonfire challenges entrepreneurs to identify what is not working for their businesses and to change how they operate to improve success. Members of the community gain access to a growing social network of other passionate and talented entrepreneurs who share experiences, exchange ideas and offer small business advice.

Other membership benefits include access to the Red Hot Tool of the Week, which highlights new productivity, social media, Internet or other business-related tools tested by the Small Business Bonfire team. Membership also includes access to the Small Business Library, a collection of reports, guides, tip sheets, swipe files, worksheets, forms and tools submitted by other Small Business Bonfire members.

Alyssa Gregory started the site because she was inspired by support, guidance and advice she received from other small business owners when launching her first business. Gregory feels that all small business owners can benefit from the support of other entrepreneurs.

“We all have a story; we all have the potential for success; and we all face challenges in our small businesses,” says Gregory. “One of the most effective ways to get small business help is by communicating and collaborating with your peers. The Small Business Bonfire provides the environment for entrepreneurs to do that.”

Gregory strives to be more than a silent owner on the site. She plans on sharing her own experiences, advice and resources on the community and says she will not hesitate to ask questions herself.

The website currently offers a free Kindling membership level with paid premium membership levels set to launch by the end of March. In the future, Gregory says Small Business Bonfire plans to launch a printed monthly newsletter, quarterly magazine, live video conferences and a store selling small business products.
