Biz Coach Claire Announces VIP Training for Women Entrepreneurs with Business Grant

Uncover a holistic approach to building a business that you love, along with the opportunity to apply for a $25,000 business grant. Women entrepreneurs stuck in their professional and personal lives can look up to a personal mentor who has arisen from similar circumstances to scale new heights in business and feel fulfilled. Claire Niibu-Akau (aka Biz Coach Claire) welcomes aspiring entrepreneurs and established businesswomen to join her VIP Training course.

Juggling a business and leaping out of your comfort zone can be challenging. As women entrepreneurs start accomplishing their biggest goals, they begin experiencing imposter syndrome (es: feel flawed, fear they are being disloyal to their tribe and thus fear abandonment, afraid that success will be a bigger burden and fear of outshining). When experiencing success they begin to self sabotage themselves; this may show up as worry, blame & criticism, getting sick or hurt, not keeping agreements (even to themselves) and so much more.

All of these attitudes and many more such behaviors lead to eventual failure. Biz Coach Claire has been there as well. She stopped worrying about fitting into everyone’s expectations and started exploring a life she would love. She rediscovered and pursued her passions and purpose in life.

The VIP Training course includes:

  • A 4-part framework to build a business (abundance: time, money & fulfillment)
  • Ways to be productive by leveraging time
  • Attract soulmate clients like a magnet
  • Discover the key to unlock personal and abundance barriers
  • Find out the 3 Values for building a long-term business

Claire also conducts Group coaching, and the Femillionaires Private Club is an amazing, one of its kind place to find other empowered women and learn from them. The Femillionaire lives on a higher vibrational level, enjoys abundance and knows how to take quantum leaps in business and life.

“I was stuck; I knew I was capable of achieving more personally and professionally. From Claire I received the tools to build my confidence, improve my overall well-being and increase my business,” says a recent client.

Enterprai Launches New Way for Global Macro Players to Stay on Top of Financial Markets

Enterprai sees strong demand for its workstation and data products from major global macro hedge funds and financial institutions, as it embarks on $10M funding round

LONDON and NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Enterprai – the AI-powered SaaS workstation for global macro professionals, pioneering predictive analytics for FX and fixed income markets – today launched a set of products offering global macro portfolio managers, traders, and analysts a new way to stay on top of financial markets. Off the back of strong demand for its product the Company is now embarking on its next funding round, seeking to raise a further $10M of growth capital to invest in tech and talent to further fuel client expansion.

Following 18 months of product research and development, Enterprai has built a proprietary event-driven architecture powering supervised machine learning models. From today, subscribers can scan, analyse, and monitor the latest market developments across multi asset classes including, FX, fixed income, equity derivatives. Additional features that will integrate both crypto currencies and central banks communications into Enterprai’s workstation are currently in production.

Enterprai is revenue-generating and has seen fast adoption of its workstation and data products by leading market players both on the sellside and buyside. Many portfolio managers, traders and analysts across global macro hedge funds, traditional asset management firms and bulge-bracket investment banks have already highlighted the alpha generating potential of Enterprai’s predictive analytics.

Highlights of the product offering include the ability for users to:

  • Gain an unprecedented view into FX and Rates market behaviour, based on live transactional data
  • Identify days from the past that show similar trading patterns to today’s market movement
  • Answer the question “what is driving asset prices today?”

Enterprai’s engineering, quant and strategy team have worked for some of the world’s preeminent financial and AI organisations – including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Principal Global Investors and PolyAI – building infrastructure for machine learning data collection and constructing pre and post-trade analytics.

Enterprai’s product roll-out follows a successful funding round backed by 15 global angel investors including, Silicon Valley-based chip designer at Intel, Bharat Bharkhada and Arya Setiadharma, one of Indonesia’s most prominent angel investors.

Many global macro professionals – including those with experience from Rokos Capital Management, UBS and Barclays – who initially came to Enterprai as test users, subsequently invested as angels after discovering the full power and potential of the Company’s workstation and data analytics. These individuals have also played an important role in working alongside Enterprai’s team of quants and engineers to develop a set of products fit for the end user.

Deyan Ulevinov, Chief Product Officer, and co-founder of Enterprai commented on the product roll out:

“Collaboration with leading scientists and academics plays an important role in our product development. Enterprai is fortunate to be working with Professor Rama Cont, Chair of Mathematical Finance at the University of Oxford – who chairs our scientific advisory board – and Professor Johannes Ruf, from the mathematics department at the London School of Economics. This level and calibre of collaboration ensures our product division continues to pioneer ‘best in science’ value propositions for our clients.”

Commenting on the size of the market opportunity for the adoption of big data by global macro professionals Wojciech Mucha, CEO, and co-founder of Enterprai added:

“Many macro players are currently missing out on hidden opportunities in new essential unstructured datasets. While the current market size for third party data providers is worth $50BN, Preqin estimates that as of August 2020 59% of fund managers are not using big data as part of their daily workflow. Working alongside our global community of senior portfolio managers and traders Enterprai is changing this and leading the way in the adoption of big data by the industry.”

LCBO Launches Spirit of Inclusion Initiative to Advance Equitable Representation in the Beverage Alcohol Industry

As part of the LCBO’s Spirit of Sustainability commitment, today the LCBO launched its new Spirit of Inclusion Initiative, a program designed to create more opportunities for diverse women to enter, advance and thrive in the beverage alcohol industry. Together with our partners, the program will fund bursaries and scholarships, facilitate mentor relationships and identify paid co-op placements for students registered in Niagara College‘s beverage alcohol programs. It will also establish a research scholar position at Brock University focused on understanding the barriers diverse women face in the fields of wine-making, brewing and distilling.

As part of the Spirit of Inclusion Initiative, LCBO worked with Toronto-based illustrator, Rachel Joanis, to design a collection of illustrations. Rachel’s work focuses on women, and promoting different ethnicities and body types, to help further inclusivity and promote equal representation. Her designs will appear on LCBO.com and on LCBO’s official social media channels. (CNW Group/LCBO)

“It is our responsibility to use our influence and resources to increase diverse representation and foster inclusion within the beverage alcohol industry,” said George Soleas, President & CEO, LCBO. “The Spirit of Inclusion Initiative is a holistic, long-term commitment to support diverse women looking to begin or advance their careers in the fields of wine-making, brewing and distilling. Its success relies on the strength of our incredible community and trade partners, and I am excited for the impact we will achieve together.”

The Spirit of Inclusion Initiative has received support from Charton Hobbs Moët Hennessy, DIAGEO and Labatt Breweries of Canada, who are committed to our vision to enhance industry diversity.

“We are pleased to partner with LCBO on their Spirit of Inclusion Initiative that focuses on bringing greater diversity to the beverage alcohol industry,” said Lynn Wells, Interim President and Provost and Vice-President, Academic at Brock University. “The establishment of the Spirit of Inclusion Research Scholar and Mobility Bursaries at Brock University will allow the Goodman School of Business to further our commitment to enhancing diversity and expanding opportunities for women from diverse backgrounds.”

“We thank the LCBO for their generous gift which will make it possible for many under-represented students in our beverage programs to achieve their dreams,” concludes Marc Nantel, Vice President of Research and External Relations, Niagara College. “The LCBO’s Spirit of Inclusion Initiative Bursary demonstrates their commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion, while supporting student success. Both are core values at the heart of Niagara College.”

As part of the initiative, the LCBO will also work with the Canadian Women’s Foundation and with Vinequity, a group established to ensure equitable treatment and provide resources for BIPOC Canadians working in wine, to support and evolve the initiative.

The Spirit of Inclusion Initiative is open to Canadians who self-identify as women from backgrounds currently underrepresented in the beverage alcohol industry, and who require financial support to complete their education. To learn more about the Spirit of Inclusion Initiative, and the bursaries, scholarships, and mentorship opportunities on offer, visit www.LCBO.com/SpiritofInclusionInitiative.

Plensy™, A Points-Based Lending-System Opens Seed Funding Round to Offer NFT Auto Smart Loans to Dealership Customers

August 24, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles-based FinTech startup Plensy™ announces the opening of its $25M seed funding round. Plensy’s patent-pending Points-Based Lending System will compete with digital lending platforms and banks by elevating the vehicle buying experience for both customers and automotive dealerships. For 3 years the team has been self-funding the developement of the technology and systems solving problems holding back the adoption of DeFi into the antiquated automotive sector by applying NFTs to Auto Smart Loans. Plensy™. 

Plensy’s mission is to replace outdated, discriminatory, and draconian credit scoring and lending systems with a smarter, honest, more ethical, and equitable approach to risk assessment and financing, based on real-time data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technology using asset-backed Non-fungible Tokens. 

The AI algorithm authenticates protocols and information between the dealership and consumer that are inputted into the Plensy™ DMS (dealer management system) with both transparency and secured methods of verification stored on private and public nodes. Instead of a monolithic credit score often based on outdated or inaccurate information and prone to misuse, Plensy™ evaluates prospective borrowers based on their current buying power and true ability to repay a loan.  

Plensy™ not only brings innovation and a fresh perspective to risk assessment but also revolutionizes the broader credit and finance market by tokenizing with NFTs (converting to a digital format), coined as Smart Loans into programmable, yield baring, new and attractive digital asset class which can be purchased and sold on a state-of-the-art platform cryptographically secured with blockchain technology. The low interest rate that Plensy™ will compete with is desirable among investors looking for a good return on their investments and higher monthly income for dealerships. 

Plensy’s Unicorn pedigree includes addressable market, scalability, unfair advantage, timing coincidence, and its founding team:  

  • Sam Errama, Founder & CEO with 20 years of experience in the Automotive Dealerships and Data Marketing industries,  
  • Murali Margapuri, Co-Founder & CTO with 20 years of experience as CTO & VP of Citibank / Banamex global, and  
  • Brandi Kolosky, Chief Growth Officer with 14 years’ experience in Brand Marketing, Capital Raising, Blockchain & Mining Solutions, Global B2B & B2C Business Development and certified in Innovations in FinTech. 

 

Approximately one hundred twenty (120) dealerships have signed agreements with Plensy™, because of their attention in cross-pollinating and growing the $98B DeFi ecosystem together. Some of the largest automotive groups in the United States, which collectively operate over a thousand (1,000) dealerships, are ready to offer Alternative Financing to their consumers, beating the quota goal before the funding round began. Plensy’s current financial model only predicts 1% of the $1.4 trillion auto loan market (300 dealerships) — proving the Plensy™ model is the future of car buying. There isn’t competition. There is only coopetition. 

This new approach creates a net positive social and economic impact as millions of previously ostracized consumers are welcomed into the marketplace and new financial opportunities are created for both lenders and borrowers.    

In 2015, the US Congress declared credit scoring to be a monopoly controlled by just one organization, FICO. This monopoly provides credit scoring for more than 90% of the top US lenders. FICO’s credit scoring system leaves over 26 million Americans “credit invisible” and an additional 19 million un-scorable.  

Sam Errama, Chief Executive Officer of Plensy™, expresses: ”We intend to disrupt the antiquated automotive financing ecosystem by delivering asset-backed tokenized loans.”” 

More About Plensy™: 

Plensy™ is poised to disrupt several trillion-dollar markets with a simplified, fair, and intuitive points-based lending-system that expands marketplaces, diversifies risk, and streamlines the process for everyone involved. This would have enormous economic and social impacts!

KCG is back with Summer Rain, another hip-hop hit

What stands out about the artist is that he draws inspiration from a range of different places. These days in the hip-hop genre, it feels like rappers are either influenced by new or old artists. However, this isn’t the case for KCG. In this brand new track, it sounds like he is inspired by old school acts such as Biggie Smalls, Tupac, and Jay-Z. Yet, there is also fresh and contemporary energy that recalls the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Drake, to mention but two modern legends.

In Summer Rain, KCG’s rap flow is authentic and genuine, which is rare to find in the scene today. It’s clear from the very start that this song comes from a deep place in the artist, and that means that the listener can easily connect with the lyrics and the meaning underneath.

There are moments in Summer Rain that feel like a cathartic stream of consciousness. For example, the lyric “I wrote this song just to reminisce” sounds down-to-earth, direct, and honest. This storytelling technique is an artistic approach that iconic beat poets and authors are famous for. These include the likes of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. KCG recalls these innovative and pioneering writers as he has a similar authenticity and dedication to telling a story and connecting with his listeners.

The production aesthetic in Summer Rain is warm and smooth, yet there is also a contemporary vibe to it that keeps it fresh and in the moment. The mix also balances the vocals with the instrumental backing, allowing KCG to shine throughin the composition. This is the kind of detail that sets artists like KCG apart from the crowd and showcases the difference between professional seasoned artists to the amateurs on the scene.

On top of this, KCG’s performance breathes life into the engaging lyrics, and it’s easy to understand the nuanced and detailed lyrics in the track. His delivery has a fluid rhythm that is infectious and you’ll find yourself humming the vocal melody to yourself long after Summer Rain has finished.

Fans of old-school hip-hop and modern rap will both enjoy Summer Rain and KCG’s distinctive approach and style.

Don’t miss out on this exciting new release from KCG. Check out Summer Rain on your preferred online platform at the link below!
