/in , /by

(PRWEB) June 18, 2013

weMultiply, a New York-based angel investment and business acceleration group, has partnered with the Life Sciences Angel Network (LSAN) to support LSAN’s Third Annual MedTech Conference, and provide ongoing strategic and operational backing. Through its relationship with LSAN, weMultiply provides its engaged ventures with access to the region’s most diverse, active group of life science and Health IT angel investors and investment groups.

Launched in 2010 by Dr. Milena Adamian, LSAN funds, mentors, and provides operational support to funded companies within the life sciences and Health IT sectors. The Conference, “Build or Flip: Why and When? A Unique Look at the Medical Devices and Healthcare Services Sectors,” focused on key issues facing investors and entrepreneurs today – whether to build early-stage ventures for the ‘long haul’ or a quick sale; how to best attract and successfully engage with exit partners; and, trends and developments within the rapidly-changing markets for healthcare device and service technologies. Panelists included founders of successful Health IT and life sciences ventures, as well as industry heavyweights from organizations including Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey, Bain Capital, Bank of America, Becton Dickinson, Telcare and more.

“Partnering with LSAN offers an opportunity to be a part of the most dynamic industry conversations, as well as direct access to a wide network of active investors,” said weMultiply Managing Director Lena Feygin. “Milena’s team, as expected, has created an engaging program featuring some of the top names in the industry.”

“The markets for Health IT and life sciences technologies have seen remarkable growth in the past few years, and as these segments scale we are focused on driving the industry forward and sourcing the highest-quality opportunities,” said LSAN founder Dr. Milena Adamian. “Strategic partnerships with groups like weMultiply directly enhance our ability to target the ventures most likely to succeed in the current market climate.”

“By leveraging its network of active sales channels, weMultiply identifies and invests in ventures with a high probability of rapidly securing institutional clients,” said weMultiply Managing Director Jesse Williamson. “This approach both accelerates the implementation of innovative health technologies, and mitigates a key risk associated with early stage healthcare investments. LSAN has developed a uniquely efficient program to engage, identify and place targeted investments, and we are excited to support it.”

Backed by the 9.8 Group of Companies, weMultiply seeks out, validates, and invests in emerging health & wellness technology ventures which can benefit from its network of active institutional sales channels. The weMultiply S.A.L.E.® program provides early stage and startup companies with direct investment, access to capital through the company’s angel and venture capital networks, as well as the strategic tools, leadership, advice and health industry regulatory and compliance expertise required to ensure the proper roll-out and successful growth of each venture.

Private Equity Headhunters LLC Reviews Its Third Quarter Results

/in , /by


Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 09, 2013

Private Equity Headhunters LLC, a firm that is well known for its dedication to finding executives well paying jobs, recently revealed the findings of its 2013 third quarter. The results, which were unveiled in a new blog post by the company, show that its hiring activity corresponds to industry trends.

According to the blog post, Private Equity Headhunters LLC conducted 207 interviews with portfolio companies and fresh startups. About 729 presentations were sent directly to managing partners and hiring authorities from 72 private equity and venture capital groups, all of whom expressed interest in finding C-level candidates for their companies. The C-level candidates were interviewed for 67 CEO, 19 CFO, 9 CIO, 8 COO, and 96 VP/director openings.

In the third quarter, the salaries ranged from $ 175,000 to $ 500,000, and the amounts of generated revenue spanned $ 5 million to $ 450 million. There were also 111 interviews with next steps and more than 37 job offers in the negotiation phase. Private Equity Headhunters LLC added that more than 100 qualified interviews were in the last stages, an announcement that could mean over 60 job offers for senior-level candidate-clients.

“We also noticed a decrease in hiring activity in third quarter, an observation that is consistent with industry trends,” stated an article available on Private Equity Headhunters LLC’s website. “Despite an increase in new job orders in third quarter, actual hiring activity remains slow. Based on last decade’s survey data from the executive recruiting industry, Private Equity Headhunters LLC anticipates the job order fulfillment rate to increase drastically in the last quarter, especially because employers prefer to wait until last quarter to make offers.”

Private Equity Headhunters LLC plans to release the final numbers for its fourth quarter in late January 2014.

Individuals interested in learning more about Private Equity Headhunters LLC and its services can visit the company’s website for more information. Clients also can call or chat online with company representatives.

The third phase of the cycle involves addressing the most important aspects of the project that include project control, communication, and project execution. Known as the execution phase of the project, the clearly laid out and elaborate solutions that are designed as a part of the project life cycle are implemented to solve problems per the project’s specified requirements. During this phase, the underlying plan of the project is set to motion and the overall progress of the work is closely monitored to make appropriate adjustments and record associated variations from the original plan. In project layouts for the development of products and systems, a design that incorporates all the essential elements and product requirements is created through testing, reviews, and analyzing prototypes. With the progression of the execution phase, various groups of the target organization get more deeply involved in the final phase of the project that includes production, product testing, and support.

Some of the most common methodologies and tools that are used during this phase involve Milestones Reviews, further additions to the Business Plan, Risk Analysis, and Score Cards updates. The project manager spends the maximum amount of time on this step as status reports on the progress of the project and task execution are discussed during regular team meetings. This information is used by them to measure and track the performance of all the project-related activities and take immediate corrective action if required. The sponsors of the project and key stakeholders should always be aware of the status of the project as well as the other parameters like the costs incurred, the schedule as well as the quality of the deliverables to ensure that they meet the set acceptance criteria per the agreed upon format and frequency. After this, the project is all set for closure.

This article is part of a series of articles that give discussion to the Project life cycle. You can view the rest of the articles in e-projectmanagers.com. This is published under the July newsletter while other Project life cycle articles were published in the earlier editions. This is an ongoing series of articles that aims to wholly define the processes of the project life cycle.

This article was written by Soumya Nalam for E-project managers. You can view her profile in the Newsletters as well. She has authored 4 articles for e project managers, all of which are incorporated in the Newsletter issues.

Anadigm® Secures $15M In Third Funding Round Led by Atlas Venture. Investment to Fund Business Growth and Further Programmable Analog IC Developments

/in , /by

(PRWEB) October 4, 2003

CAMPBELL, CA (PRWEB)October 2, 2003 — Anadigm®, the programmable analog company, today announced the closing of a new round of financing worth $ 15 million.

This C round of funding, led by Atlas Venture with ongoing investment from 3i, Quester and NIF Ventures, points to Anadigm®’s success in winning market acceptance for its field programmable analog array (FPAA) integrated circuits, which offer an analog equivalent to the digital field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Anadigm® was founded in January 2000 as a spin-off from Motorola. More than 140 customers are designing Anadigm® FPAA technology into their products to provide complex filtering, signal conditioning, and closed loop control functions in consumer audio, industrial, and communications systems.

The company’s product offering combines programmable silicon with easy-to-use software tools that drastically reduce the time needed to design, verify, and bring to market embedded systems with analog interfaces. Anadigm®’s FPAAs are moreover the industry’s first such chips that can adapt on the fly to perform multiple functions, adjust to different environmental and electrical conditions, or compensate for equipment aging.

“Anadigm® offers one of the few analog technologies that is both innovative and disruptive,” said Gerry Montanus, Senior Principal at Atlas Venture. “The recent launch of the company’s Anadigmvortex product line has brought the company industry-wide attention, and demonstrates the market’s readiness for a technology that will reduce the cost of analog circuit design, manufacturing, and innovation. Real-world interfaces are essential to a very wide range of electronic systems, and we are delighted to be part of Anadigm®’s ambitious project of revolutionizing the way they are conceptualized and implemented.”

The funding will be used to continue to expand Anadigm®’s business in all geographical markets and support ongoing product development activities. The investment will also support additional enhancements to the software used to program the company’s Anadigmvortex FPAAs, which remove the complexity from analog design and reduce the time for analog implementations from months to minutes.

“We are excited to be moving forward with the support of these leading venture capital firms. 3i and Quester have been very supportive of the business and were instrumental in bringing in Atlas Venture,” said Bill McLean, Anadigm® President and CEO. “Our FPAA solutions continue to gain traction in the marketplace and customer engagements are validating our technology’s value-add. The investment will allow us to implement the next stage of our product strategy and to further penetrate our target markets.”
