This white paper provides information about a few key DfM topics that can offer immediate benefits, including material selection, wall thickness, corner radii, draft angles and mold-flow analysis. It summarizes performance requirement considerations for selecting the right material for a part as well as design techniques to avoid warping, and cosmetic issues. Additionally, it discusses structural strength benefits of optimized wall transitions with sufficient radii.

Popular Podcast Explores What a Post Pandemic World May Look Like

Chairman and CEO of global private financial group discusses the economy and international finance in a post-pandemic world with host Keith Koo of Silicon Valley Insider.

San Francisco, California, USA., June 1, 2020 - Jeffrey Sweeney, Chairman and CEO at US Capital Global, has been featured on the latest podcast episode of Silicon Valley Insider, hosted by Keith Koo. Following on from his recent article entitled ‘Pent-Up Ambition,’ Sweeney and Koo explore how the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 may, for many people, inspire renewed ambitions for both enterprise and community action once the lockdowns are lifted.

The episode takes a look at some of US Capital Global’s current portfolio companies and their methods of solving real-world problems with community-based solutions, as well as the strengths of alternative investments during the current climate. Mr. Sweeney also shares his vision of what a post-pandemic world may look like.

Headquartered in San Francisco, US Capital Global is a global private financial group with an established track record in investment banking, asset management, and fund management. The group provides sophisticated debt, equity, and investment products to lower middle market companies and investors, using the latest FinTech and RegTech innovation.

“It was a pleasure to connect with Keith Koo on the Silicon Valley Insider show,” said Sweeney. “We had the opportunity to discuss the isolating nature of the COVID-19 restrictions and the changes they may generate, both on a market level and with regards to the human spirit. We will see a new wave of energy, with people anxious to return to the enterprises they value, to being productive, and to showing up for their communities. A rebalancing and re-examination of our needs is in order, but changes will be incremental, not revolutionary, and there’s no reason to believe that we won’t return to an economy similar to the one we had before.”

A thought-leader in the FinTech and RegTech field, Sweeney has published numerous articles on the topic of digital securities and investment banking in leading industry journals, such as The Fintech Times, ABF Journal, ABL Advisor, and The Secured Lender. A highly sought-after speaker and panel chair, Sweeney is frequently invited to preside over and speak at finance and FinTech events worldwide.

AIN Technology Spotlight Phoenix Business Cycle

Angel investing is a great addition to any savvy investor’s portfolio. However, it is generally one of the last investments added, and only with extreme caution and prejudice. When the industry average for success is only about 7% for sophisticated investors, a novice stands very little chance when venturing into angel investing.

But there are chances that it could be substantially better.

Phoenix Business Cycle, a Utah based company with 4 international offices in Asia, has developed a proprietary due diligence system that builds companies on a cutting edge technology stack, including blockchain for accountability. They then push this into a due diligence system which offers an investor over 96 hours of in-depth (and welcomed by the business owner) due diligence.

The CEO, Audra Hajj, was the keynote speaker at the International Association For Economic Development in February 2020, which was attended by 50 current and former heads of state, and over 500 parliamentarians and legislators.

Economic leaders were inspired by her company's “Idea to Exit” ecosystem built for economic stability, both locally and globally. The system is said to be able to change the failure statistics for entrepreneurs and give investors a tool that will minimize their capital risk.

Ms. Hajj stated, “The technology age is now, and the investment world is behind in adopting the technology needed to solve their top 5 challenges. So we did it for them. Our solution gives investors proper due diligence, assesses team and leadership risk, reduces their capital risk with proper transparency and accountability, and provides inside knowledge of a company, all while saving investors’ time. The result is quality deal flow within an app built for ease of use.”

AIN did its own due diligence and found that her approach to technology, and a systematic way of building and evaluating companies from the inside out, is a fresh approach to an antiquated system. The platform and tools created by PBC will give Angel investors the tools Venture capitalist use but at a fraction of the price. It means, an investor can get the gains of an Angel, but the risk reduction of a VC due to a technology approach.

Phoenix Business Cycle will revolutionize the way investors will invest in companies, and likely help even more businesses succeed using proven tools and resources to help them achieve their goals.

The combination of business building resources, blockchain technology, and investor due diligence is set to be a win-win-win for the entrepreneurs, investors, and society as a whole.

Angel Investing Just Got Smarter

Angel Investing Just Got Smarter! Angel Investors Network and Phoenix Business Cycle Announce Merger to Become the Leading Business Accelerator and Angel Investor Community

The new combined vision for the firm is to offer the world’s most advanced Investor Due Diligence system based on blockchain technology and resource collaboration

Angel Investors Network and Phoenix Business Cycle announced a definitive merger agreement today, becoming a major powerhouse firm offering advanced angel investing and business-building services. The merged company will operate under the Angel Investors Network brand and will be co-headquartered in Utah and Nevada. Angel Investors Network announced that it will be co-led by CEO Jeff Barnes and CEO Audra Hajj. The merger will enable the firm to modernize a 70-year old system and bring better investment and business solutions to a wider client base of investors and entrepreneurs.

Phoenix Business Cycle, a business building and reconstruction company formed in 2006 and based in Utah with four international offices. They help entrepreneurs build their business upon a solid foundation with their proprietary program based on proven methodologies. Nearly two decades of business-building experience has enabled Phoenix Business Cycle to develop a revolutionary due diligence system based on blockchain technology that addresses the key investor concerns while training the entrepreneurs.

“Phoenix Business Cycle offers an amazing opportunity for Angel Investors Network to expand our services to investors through advanced due diligence technology that offers greater transparency and accountability,” said Jeff Barnes, current CEO of Angel Investors Network.

Angel Investors Network, formed in 1997, was the first online community of angel investors, has helped thousands of investors and entrepreneurs succeed and create wealth through the power of angel investing. It provides investors with the quality deal flow with maximum returns on their investment while helping businesses gain access to training, resources, and tools to create winning opportunities.

“The merger provides an excellent opportunity for growth for both companies as we combine our expertise to serve the investor and entrepreneur community through technology.” commented Audra Hajj, founder and CEO, of Phoenix Business Cycle.

Through the merger, Angel Investors Network hopes to revolutionize the way investment in private companies is approached. According to Ms. Hajj “The greatest risk for investors is their inability to gauge team, leadership, and capital risks when investing in early-stage companies.” Angel Investors Network will minimize all these risks for investors while facilitating smart money investments. “With the increasing movement toward entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology, the world needs a new way to assess startup investment risks, and what better way to make this happen than through our new Ascension Exchange technology?” explained Mr. Barnes, hinting at a new, upcoming app that will be released to the public mid month..
