New Hampshire Investment Casting Foundry Brings Flexibility to the Industry










Londonderry, NH (PRWEB) October 21, 2010

Alcumet Incorporated, a provider of precision investment casting in Londonderry, New Hampshire, has recently announced the achievement of a new level of innovation within their industry. According to company C.E.O. Russell Wilmarth, this innovation comes in the form of a drastically higher level of flexibility and quality.

Wilmarth explains, “Alcumet has brought innovation to the way we provide investment casting not by leaning solely on state of the art equipment, but by honing our experience when it comes to working with a variety of alloys, including copper, beryllium, and aluminum alloys, suitable for everything from use in the communications industry to aircraft.”

By applying their industry leading flexibility to a variety of investment casting projects, Alcumet has been able to provide investment castings for a number, of what Wilmarth calls, “Critical” projects -where precision, quality, and close tolerances were tantamount. Many of these precision investment casting projects were done within the aerospace, communications, electronics, government, military, munitions, optics, and medical industries.

According to Wilmarth, by taking advantage of their high level of flexibility, Alcumet’s team of investment casting experts can consistently provide the quality required for projects where even the slightest imperfection could lead to what he terms, “a catastrophic” failure.

Alcumet Incorporated is a precision investment casting foundry located in Londonderry, New Hampshire. They provide investment casting in a number of copper and aluminum alloys for a variety of industries across the country. For more information about investment casting and other services at Alcumet Inc., call 800.221.0419, or visit http://www.alcumet.com/investment-casting.html.

New Venture Capital Management Co. Encourages Smaller Investments

New Venture Capital Management Co. Encourages Smaller Investments

Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 09, 2011

bill Clark, founder of Austin-based MicroVenture Marketplace Inc., is launching a venture capital management company that opens doors for those who have never invested in a venture fund and those looking to invest smaller amounts.

Called MicroAngel Capital Partners, the Austin fund manager will give accredited investors the opportunity to invest as little as $ 3,000 in venture capital funds and other alternative investment products around the country.

“Most venture capital funds require you to invest anywhere from $ 100,000 to $ 1 million in funds ranging from $ 10 million to $ 50 million,” said Clark. “At $ 5,000, we’re creating new opportunities for investors who might not want to make those larger investments and who might want to participate in multiple venture capital funds in smaller increments.”

MicroAngel Capital Partners will raise $ 1 million or less per fund, which will allow fund investors to invest smaller amounts of between $ 3,000 and $ 10,000 depending on the fund and its purpose, he said.

The funds will offer varying investment levels and focus on different alternative investments. Some possible examples are:

    Venture capital fund of funds that invests in a variety of existing venture capital funds
    Secondary stock funds that focus on purchasing stock in existing private companies.
    Specialty funds focused on specific niches, such as mobile apps or solar energy.
    Local and regional funds – Investing in start-ups in one geographical area. Austin, Silicon Valley and New York are initial target areas.

Most of the investments will be made in high tech, social media, green technologies, mobile applications and Internet startups throughout the country, said Clark.

“Four or five years ago investing $ 100,000 or more in VCs wasn’t that big of an issue because the economy was a lot better,” he said. “Now, as many investors have seen their net worth decline, investing $ 3,000 to $ 10,000 is a lot more appealing.”

In 2010, Clark founded Austin-based MicroVenture Marketplace Inc. which matches companies seeking money with investors looking to invest anywhere from $ 1,000 to $ 10,000 or more. MicroVentures helps investors learn about companies they may never have heard of, and to invest smaller sums, which is virtually unheard of with traditional investing.

ABOUT MicroAngel Capital Partners

Polaris Energy Offers State-of-the-Art Investor Transparency by Launching an Investor Dashboard Web Portal for Investors in Renewable Energy Projects

Polaris Energy Offers State-of-the-Art Investor Transparency by Launching an Investor Dashboard Web Portal for Investors in Renewable Energy Projects











www.polarisenergy.com


Milan, Italy (PRWEB) January 27, 2011

Polaris Energy has launched a transparent and responsible approach to ensure investor confidence and facilitate ‘direct ownership’ for private investors who will now be able to manage and keep track of their investments using a new state-of-the-art web-based dashboard.

Polaris Energy focuses on creating direct ownership opportunities for investors interested in alternative energy projects. The new investor dashboard provides a secure place for investors to manage their green energy investments and contains features that provide transparency into the project construction and installation processes, such as web cameras on the construction site and streaming plant output data during production.

For 2011, Polaris Energy is focusing on developing photovoltaic solar projects in Italy, due to Italy’s generous Feed-in Tariff rates and Polaris’ strong project team with experience in the Italian photovoltaic solar market. The investor dashboard is a great tool for investors who are not local to Italy and who are not familiar with the process of constructing a solar power plant. By providing an opportunity for investors to observe the plant construction and installation processes, the investor dashboard provides an opportunity for investors of Polaris Energy to learn more about the alternative energy industry, as well as invest in it.

In addition to providing project data and access to Polaris Energy’s investment offerings, Polaris intends to expand the investor dashboard to access the company’s Swiss banking platform – where all investor funds are secured – in the near future.

“We enjoy working with investors worldwide who partner with us to invest in clean energy facilities.” said Polaris Energy’s Strategic Advisor Samuel Wilson. “By taking advantage of online tools to create a seamless and transparent investor experience, we have created a web portal where our investors can manage their investments and track their projects from wherever they are in the world.”

Polaris Energy is currently accepting inquiries from qualified and accredited investors, both private and institutional, who are interested in direct ownership in renewable energy projects. Polaris Energy offers the stability of the private equity community in Luxembourg and employs a Swiss banking platform to ensure financial security for its clients.

http://www.polarisenergy.com

The Polaris Energy Initiative:

Polaris Energy opens the gateway to alternative energy. Our private equity firm, registered in Luxembourg, allows investors to participate in renewable energy projects that focus on a wide range of energy production. We perform two primary services:

(1) We obtain investments from individuals and institutions who are seeking to invest directly in alternative energy projects

(2) We research and manage the development of these projects that have the potential to become operable quickly and create returns for our investors. To ensure that we maintain a relationship of trust with all of our investors, we employ a Swiss Banking platform that provides world-class financial security for all of the funds invested in our projects. It is our mission to meet the world’s need for clean and renewable energy by identifying investment opportunities that will be profitable, sustainable, and rewarding. We want you to be a part of these opportunities and invite you to explore our green energy investment options. Whether you are a private, corporate, or institutional investor, you will find the right alternative energy investment opportunity with Polaris Energy.

Investors Financial Network, Pioneers of Successful Real Estate Investing Strategy, Now Lists Properties Nationwide











Phoenix (PRWEB) April 19, 2007

Investors Financial Network (http://www.investorsfinancialnetwork.com/)] is pleased to announce that they now list investment properties from around the United States. IFN had acquired a solid reputation by matching investors with distressed and pre-foreclosure properties around the Southwest. Now they are applying those same proven strategies to real estate investing countrywide. Through credit only investing, potential investors can get a tax-free lump sum payment when the sale of investment properties is achieved. Cash investments offer investors direct access to a lucrative and fast-growing real estate investment market. IFN with their experience involving the acquisition of prime properties can open the door to real estate investing to the entrepreneurial investor.

“The experienced teams of IFN have demonstrated as having a discerning eye for investment properties which will sell fast and for a great price,” said Cleothus Jackson, president of IFN. “We take care of all the details, ensuring that lack of time, lack of resources and lack of market knowledge are no longer barriers to real estate investing.”

Credit investing is a potentially lucrative way of leveraging a superior credit score into a handsome payday. Investors with a minimum FICO score of 695 are encouraged to allow IFN to use their secure loans for investment properties loans. Owners keep their property for up to 16 months, during which IFN ensures the mortgage is paid and where costs associated with insurance, taxes, rental and maintenance for that period of time. Investors get cash when the sale closes, which improve their credit rating.

Cash investors simply prove their resources to IFN and then select investment properties from the company’s extensive database. IFN will then set to work, negotiating the sale price and closing the deal. Investors get the title and pay IFN only a very economical transaction fee.

About Investors Financial Network

Since 1998, IFN has provided investors with a secure and easy way to enter the investment properties market across Arizona and California. Pioneered by Cleothus Jackson, IFN has developed a series of proven methods to ensure investors can effortlessly use real estate investing to diversity their portfolios with security.
