Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) March 29, 2013
Local startup Heroic (http://www.beheroic.com/) teams up with CRAVE Restaurants to celebrate the hardworking service economy in Minneapolis through a campaign called “Who Do You Love?” (http://www.beheroic.com/whodoyoulove). They are seeking recommendations from the public to discover little-known experts, artisans, and local craftsmen. The first 100 participants win a $ 20 gift card to CRAVE restaurants, and one will win one-year of free house cleaning.
Heroic is a newly formed community in the Twin Cities and is a free place for friends and neighbors to share recommendations of local service providers, like painters, carpenters, and mechanics. Who Do You Love is inspired by co-founders Dan Linstroth and Reed Robinson’s discovery of a little-known bike mechanic working out of his basement in Minneapolis named Sam Reinert.
“I discovered Sam through a recommendation from Reed and he blew me away with his service,” says Linstroth. “He’s an absolute expert, provides incredible customer service, and charges a neighborly price.”
By making this connection, the two friends began wondering how many people like Sam exist in the Twin Cities of other crafts. Who Do You Love was born, and they’re seeking word-of-mouth recommendations from the community to uncover more experts, just like Sam.
“These are the hardworking, honest people that make our neighborhoods run,” adds Linstroth. “They are the soul of our local economy and deserve to be recognized.”
Heroic is encouraging people to share by offering a limited number of Gift Cards to CRAVE restaurants and the chance to win one-year of free house cleaning.
“CRAVE was very generous in showing their support for this idea and Happy Earth Cleaning Company, another fantastic service provider, chipped in the incredible cleaning offer,” says Linstroth with excitement. “We’re very grateful for their participation.”
The Who Do You Love campaign emphasizes the core of Heroic,“which is friends and neighbors sharing good old-fashioned referrals,” says Linstroth. “We want to facilitate this age-old, word-of-mouth behavior online while helping people like Sam get discovered.”
The service provider of the winning recommendation will also win prizes from Heroic. Professional photos and video plus a free premium upgrade on the site are all meant to celebrate the winning expert from the local service economy.

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) July 12, 2013
Elevate Ventures, a private venture development organization that assists and invests in high-growth, high-potential early and second-stage companies, announced a partnership with key community stakeholders to launch the Elevate Ventures Regional Entrepreneurship Action Plan (REAP) in Southwest Indiana. The first phase, also known as Quick Start, will provide local entrepreneurial resources and access to the firm’s funds under management. Elevate Ventures manages over $ 80 million in funds through its 21st Century Research & Technology Fund, its Indiana Angel Network Fund, its Community Development Fund and its recently launched Diversity Fund.
The introduction of this program will make several vital resources available to the region’s entrepreneurial community, including investment capital for high-potential, high-growth companies, the local placement of Elevate Ventures Entrepreneurs-In-Residence, participation in a statewide investor network, and the offering of Economic Gardening services to local second-stage companies.
First launched in October 2011 in Northern Indiana, the REAP is a four-year program designed to stimulate economic activity and to facilitate the emergence and development of high-potential companies into high-performing businesses. Through the REAP, Elevate Ventures staff, in partnership with local business leaders, economic development organizations, and other local stakeholders, will provide assistance and capital to identified early-stage and second-stage companies that have the intent and capacity to grow their business.
“Through REAP, Elevate Ventures will provide a fast track for entrepreneurs in this region by offering key services such as business analysis, advisory services and resources to succeed long-term and help companies move past many of the initial challenges they might face,” stated Carl Chapman, Vectren Corporation’s President and CEO. “Our region has been steadily building a network of stakeholders and partners to provide the foundation for growth environments just as it has with many other regional initiatives; and, we are ready to launch REAP to provide momentum in helping the businesses located here to arrive at success sooner,” stated Becky Skillman, President of Radius Indiana. Vectren Corporation and Radius Indiana are REAP funding stakeholders.
Bob Myer, an Evansville area resident, angel investor, and a director at Elevate Ventures, will be an acting Entrepreneur-in-Residence in the region. Elevate Ventures plans on hiring two additional Entrepreneurs-In-Residence.
The program offered by Elevate Ventures has had great success in the northern regions of Indiana, where it was first implemented. Results include an increase in the number of funding applications from the region, a greater number of companies obtaining funding from Elevate Ventures and private investors, and significant increases in employment and revenue growth for participants in the Economic Gardening program.
Among many stakeholders who are eager to see these services come to the region, few are more enthused than Greg Wathen, President & CEO of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana.
“We are in a position to catalyze the resources already existing in the region,” said Wathen, when asked about the potential impact of the REAP. “Elevate Ventures and the services its team offers will help us do that. We’ve already had several years of traction, and this is one of those critical steps that could truly ignite unprecedented growth in our community. We’re very excited to see how this program will benefit Southwest Indiana businesses.”

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) April 06, 2012
The law firm of Statman, Harris & Eyrich, LLC announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against SAIC, Inc. (SAIC or the Company) and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of purchasers of the common stock during the period April 11, 2007 and September 1, 2011, inclusive (the Class Period).
The action, filed by another firm in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 12-cv-01353), alleges defendants violated federal securities laws by misrepresenting or failing to disclose information relating to overbilling the city of New York hundreds of millions of dollars on a project to update the citys employee payroll system (the CityTime Project). Executives of the Company admitted in a conference call that the Company might be forced to take a deduction from earnings to reflect alleged overbilling on the CityTime Project from the financial results it released for the second quarter of 2012. The stock price dropped on this disclosure, damaging investors.
Investors who purchased SAIC common stock during the Class Period may have a claim against the Company and are encouraged to contact attorney Brian Giles at (513) 345-8181 or by e-mail to classaction(at)statmanharris(dot)com for further information about this matter without any obligation or cost to you. Additionally, persons with non-public knowledge relative to the allegations asserted are encouraged to contact the law firm. The whistleblower provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Bill protect whistleblowers from employer retaliation and allow the SEC to reward those who provide information leading to a successful enforcement with up to 30 percent of the recovery.
Statman, Harris & Eyrich, LLC, which has significant experience in consumer, investor, and mass tort class actions, has offices in Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; and Sarasota, Florida. http://www.statmanharris.com
