NextSpace Partners with Wavepoint Ventures As A Mentor to Local Entrepreneurs

Santa Cruz, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2010

NextSpace, the workplace for the new economy, has formed a strategic relationship with Wavepoint Ventures, LLC, a venture capital firm with offices in Menlo Park, CA and El Dorado Hills, CA. The relationship centers on a mentoring program that NextSpace will deliver to start-up companies looking for help with establishing and growing their businesses. Wavepoint Ventures seeks out innovative companies in markets that are underserved in the traditional venture capital industry. Their strategy involves regional partnerships with local business associations, incubators, and workplace experts.

The goal of the program is to offer advice, training, and practical strategic guidance to innovative, early-stage companies based in the Santa Cruz and Monterey region. The mentoring program is specifically tailored to the needs of each participating company.

NextSpace, with locations in downtown Santa Cruz and downtown San Francisco, focuses on bringing together entrepreneurs, freelancers, independent consultants, university resources, and investors into a collaborative, innovative community. Nearly 250 people work out of NextSpace's two locations. These startups and freelancers run the gamut from social media companies like 12seconds.tv , iPhone app development companies like Streetview Labs, software companies like Intuvo, and a range of independent software engineers, designers, web developers, and other professionals.

"NextSpace is an ideal regional partner for Wavepoint because we have a deep understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape in our region. We've got great relationships with the local start-up and angel communities and are very plugged into what's happening in the engineering, biotech, and digital media programs at UC Santa Cruz" said Jeremy Neuner, Co-Founder and CEO of NextSpace. "Wavepoint is perfectly in sync with our philosophy of finding and encouraging local talent."

This announcement of the NextSpace/Wavepoint relationship comes just a few weeks after the announcement that AOL acquired Rally Up, a mobile applications company that was launched at NextSpace, to become part of AOL's mobile division. "Rally Up's acquisition by AOL is just the latest proof point that the Santa Cruz/Monterey region is a great place to start and grow companies," continued Neuner. "Working with Wavepoint will allow us to build on that kind of success."

"The Santa Cruz region has a long and rich history of innovation and creating great companies," says Peter Gardner, Managing Director for Wavepoint Ventures. "NextSpace is an ideal partner for helping to not only develop deal flow, but also deliver sound advice to local startup companies and help support the local entrepreneurial community."

NextSpace's relationship with Wavepoint delivers a unique combination of capital, advice and an innovative work environment that can provide a path to success for businesses in Santa Cruz, Monterey and the surrounding region.

EBSCO Publishing Partners with the Canadian Medical Association to Provide Continuing Medical Education Credits via DynaMed

Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) May 05, 2011

EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) has partnered with the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) to provide institutional access to Mainpro MI educational credits via DynaMed, an evidence-based reference resource. The integration of DynaMed with the Canadian Medical Association system enables physicians to use DynaMed for research and quickly and easily earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.

Representing more than 74,000 of Canadas physicians, the Canadian Medical Association is the only association that offers automatic transfer of credits to The College of Family Physicians Canada (CFPC). DynaMed is a clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other healthcare professionals for use primarily at the point-of-care. DynaMed contains clinically-organized summaries for more than 3,200 topics; the database is updated daily and can be integrated into electronic health records.

The new partnership with DynaMed enables the CMA to help physicians work towards obtaining their credits through a self-reflective look at their practice while earning continuing medical education credits. Institutional access provides a direct link from clinical summaries within DynaMed to their CMA account to submit searches and receive Mainpro MI educational credits

Stratton Lloyd, vice president of medical market development at EBSCO Publishing, says incorporating CME credits into DynaMed is an essential part of DynaMeds goal to provide clinicians with the best available evidence. DynaMed was created to serve the needs of healthcare professionals. Allowing users to incorporate education into their practice on a daily basis is a natural extension of the DynaMed mission. Institutional access to DynaMed provides clinicians in Canada with a streamlined way to access continuing medical education within the clinical workflow.

CMA members may access DynaMed at http://www.cma.ca/clinicalresources/dynamed. Institutions currently subscribing to DynaMed may have the new CMA CME feature turned on within their subscription at no additional charge.

Laura Hall Partners with Brymus Capital to Market Bank-Owned Homes in Bakersfield, CA

(PRWEB) April 28, 2011

Brymus Capital, Inc. (Brymus), the parent company of Brymus.com, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Hollywood Hills real estate broker, Laura Hall, to develop buyers for its clients Real Estate Owned assets in Los Angeles and Bakersfield, Ca. Blaise Bryant is the principal at Brymus Capital.

The partnership developed out of a chance meeting at the REO EXPO conference in Dallas in June 2010. Brymus handles the rehabilitation, marketing and disbursement for sale of REO properties for a number of major banks and loan servicing companies. Laura is a buyers broker with familiarity with the Los Angeles and Bakersfield markets.

With the recent and overwhelming success of Brymus in Los Angeles, Orange County, the Bay Area and other areas, the next stop on the multi-city expansion of Brymus is Bakersfield. As Brymus is offered more real estate listing assignments, they are actively hiring agents in new markets to handle marketing and sales functions. Choosing a top producer agent such as Laura Hall was a natural choice and Bakersfield was a logical progression.

I had been bringing investors to opportunities in Bakersfield for some time to my friends who identify investment opportunities in Bakersfield. They have a turn-key operation that is generating great returns. They have all the contacts and operations to repair and sell real estate. Blaise and I recognized that this machinery could be utilized to prepare REO inventory for sale as well. Its my job to handle that as well as to bring buyers to his inventory. Laura says.

A new website is under development to promote active listings as well as prelistings. Pre-listings are properties assigned to Brymus to sell but that are not yet on the market because they are currently occupied or under renovation. By marketing the properties before they have a price and before they go on the multiple listing service, Laura hopes to generate a wait list of owner-occupant home buyers and investors. This way, Brymus can sell the properties in the shortest amount of marketing time. Homebuyers who plan to use financing can use the prelisting period to secure financing so their loan pre-approval can be submitted with their offer as soon as the property is listed for sale.

In an effort to develop a pipeline of buyers, Laura plans to host home buyer seminars in the Bakersfield area beginning in April. A mixer is being planned as a meet-and-greet opportunity for home buyers and local agents to meet Laura Hall.

To put your name on the list for the mixer, please call Laura Hall at (661) 333-3764.

For media interviews, contact Laura Hall, (661) 333-3764 or Blaise Bryant (714) 883-8321

Blaise Bryant was raised in California and attended Iowa State University. He played professional football in the US and Canada for six seasons. He started mortgage brokering in 1997 and soon became a top producer at Stearns Lending. He started Brymus Capital in 2005 and added REO listing to his services in 2008.
