Structured Settlement Company Fairfield Funding Employees and Customers Agree: Workshop A Huge Success

Atlanta, GA (Vocus) October 13, 2009

Fairfield Funding, Georgias leading provider of structured settlement and annuity purchasing services, expressed a great deal of pride in their customer service staff for their role in leading a week-long series that provided the public with free information on a variety of topics concerning selling structured settlements and annuity payments. With the recent economic turmoil, especially in the housing market, many people are choosing to sell their structured settlements in order to raise instant capital that they can use to stay ahead on their property payments. Also, raising liquid assets when the economy is depressed may allow individuals to capitalize on the current buyers market. However, being educated about both the promising opportunities and potential pitfalls of selling a structured settlement is a must for consumers anywhere. Fairfield Funding's main goal was to provide the most up-to-date news and specialized information.

Fairfield Funding senior account executive Robert Thomas noted, Our companys tradition is not only to serve our customers with speed and attentiveness, but also to educate them about what is best for their specific settlement situation. According to company executives, the training was such a success that they are planning to expand the educational aspect of their operations to include additional online chat forums and webinars that can be easily accessed on their website.

They were also a big hit with those who attended. One attendee said that she was extremely impressed with the friendly professionalism of the Fairfield Funding staff and the quality of the information that they shared. She was interested in finding out options about selling structured settlements, but learned so much more. A lot of her friends have questions about these things, and now she feels she can give them some answers. She said she would recommend Fairfield Funding to any one of them.

The topics included an overall outlook for the structured settlement industry, practices to avoid when seeking to turn settlements into cash, and advice on how to tailor settlement plans to specific goals. Also, they provided information on the services provided by Fairfield Funding, which include cash for annuity, cash for settlement, cash for structured settlement payments, cash for lottery, pre-settlement, life settlement, and other annuities.

Security Scoreboard Scores Funding To Advance Crowd Sourced IT Ratings

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2011

Security Scoreboard, which offers security product ratings and analytics based on real-world user experiences, announced that it has received an initial angel investment.

"Crowd-sourcing could significantly improve the validity and quality of the information available about commercial IT products, said Dana Gardner, president and principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions. As a consumer I can look at Angie's List, Rotten Tomatoes or TripAdvisor and it's crazy such thing doesn't exist for IT."

Even if you have the time and money to test different solutions, it's always the details of real-life implementations that come to bite you, said Chris Sawall, Supervisor of Information Security at Ameren Corporation, a Fortune 500 company and one of the nation's largest investor-owned electric and gas utilities. You never know how technologies and solutions will really work until you have invested in them. Security Scoreboard allows me to be better informed."

At the time of the investment, the company also appointed Dominique Levin as CEO.

Levin comes to Security Scoreboard from LogLogic Inc., a leader in security and log management solutions, where she served as Chief Marketing Officer and Acting CEO. She was also previously VP Marketing at PoliVec, held positions at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone and Philips Consumer Electronics and generated over $ 630 million in shareholder value as a venture capital investor.

The recent funding and the move to Silicon Valley will allow us to tap into engineering talent to accelerate our roadmap, said Levin.

Security Scoreboard recently introduced new analytics capabilities, which highlight top vendors by user ratings and present trends on site visits, said Dr. Boaz Gelbord, President and co-founder of Security Scoreboard and himself a practicing security executive. We are looking to add more sophisticated analysis leveraging user generated data.

Aurora Biofuels Closes $20 Million Series B Funding

Alameda, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2008

Aurora Biofuels, Inc., a leader in open-pond algae aquaculture technology, announced today it has completed a second round of funding, raising $ 20 million. The round was led by existing investor Oak Investment Partners. Previous Series A investors Gabriel Venture Partners and Noventi also participated in the round. Aurora Biofuels will use the funds to expand its field operations and to increase its efforts to optimize the production cycle of growing, harvesting and extracting microalgae to produce bio-oil, which can be converted into biofuels.

"We are ahead of our company growth and development plans and the new funds will allow us to accelerate our efforts in the field even further," said Matt Caspari, founder and CEO of Aurora Biofuels. "Obviously, there is a great need today to decrease dependence on foreign oil. We believe that algae are an exciting alternative to traditional agricultural sources of biofuels and we are committed to bringing algae-derived biofuels to fruition."

Microalgae have several advantages over traditional biofuel crops including their ability to produce much more bio-oil per acre, and their ability to be grown on marginal land using marginal water so they do not compete with food resources.

"Over the past eighteen months, Aurora Biofuels has made tremendous progress in developing an end-to-end process for producing bio crude oil from algae," said Brian Hinman, Venture Partner at Oak Investment Partners. "We're convinced that the economic model is viable, and believe that Aurora has a stable and productive aquaculture technology that works in low-cost open ponds. It's time to test the process at scale."

About Aurora Biofuels

Aurora Biofuels, Inc. was founded to develop the lowest cost solution for growing algae and producing bio-oil. To achieve this goal, Aurora has assembled a diverse team with the expertise spanning biology, biotechnology, aquaculture and agricultural, chemical and process engineering. Aurora Biofuels was founded in 2006 and has its headquarters in Alameda, CA. For more information, please visit http://www.aurorabiofuels.com.
