In a significant development, New York based frozen foods company Grainful received funding worth $3.3 million from Circle Up a funding platform focused on consumer brands. They sourced the actual funding from lead investors Advantage Capital and Rand Capital. Advantage Capital leadership includes Ryan Brennan and Mark Scheffel.
The three organizations behind the funding are quite sanguine about Grainful’s ability to grow their products in a significant manner on the basis of the strong brand presence backed by affordable pricing. The company has taken it upon themselves to be great advocates of the goodness of oats, not just in terms of the nutrition value, but also as a mainstream food item.

Accordingly, Grainful is laying great store by improving the nutritional value of their products by using better ingredients along with making the taste more globally compatible and acceptable. Their main stratagem to do this would be to make frozen meals taste great. This is borne out by the launch of a series of flavors like Tuscan bean & kale, vegetarian chili, unstuffed pepper, and porcini mushroom chicken.

The world has come to appreciate the importance of nutrient dense food and since this is right up Grainful’s street they hope to tap into this growing demand. Ever since the company’s inception in 2013, they have leveraged the power of oats to not only provide exemplary nutrition but also its ability to take on diverse flavors of cuisine from around the world.

In fact, Grainful’s offerings have been tested by students, nutritionists, bloggers, and hundreds of thousands of students all of whom have expressed their approval of what they consumed. In light of this emphatic validation one really can’t fault the company for having high hopes of this amazing grain. As a matter of fact, one wouldn’t be off the mark to state that Grainful has an oats obsession. As the company itself claims it’s a seven days a week, 365 days a year obsession.

It is not so surprising to find the Advantage Circle Partner representative wax eloquent about the company’s growth prospects. The CircleUP Funds representative was similarly …

In the heart of the Big Apple lies Anthony Malkin’s iconic skyscrapers that can only be seen in New York City. Containing some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world and playing host to many celebrity visitors, New York skyscrapers have been made famous by their architectural designs. Such feats of structural engineering can even be seen on the big screen as King Kong is climbing the Empire State Building. Although many skyscrapers are made famous from movie and television appearances, the structures have stood the test of time to become world famous.

The Woolworth building was the tallest building between the years of 1913-1930. Based on neo-Gothic design, the skyscraper stands at 57 floors, 792 ft. tall and is currently the 20th tallest building in New York City. In the early 20th Century, it was nicknamed the “Cathedral of Commerce.” The structure was named after the millionaire of 1913 Frank W. Woolworth and designed by Cass Gilbert. Another Cass Gilbert architectural design is that of the New York Life Building. Standing at 615 ft. and 33 stories tall, the Gothic design skyscraper is iconic for the top pyramid structure that is lined with 25,000 gold-leaf tiles. The building is the current headquarters of the New York Life Insurance Company.

Called one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Empire State Building stands at a total 1,454 ft. and 103 stories. From 1931 to 1970 …

What happens when a university educates students who become the owners of a multi-million dollar company? Well, while some find themselves being attached to scandal Truman State University is finding itself enriched.

Class of 1983 alumni Scott Zajac, along with fellow alumni Ryan Brennan of Advantage Capital, have donated $40,000 to the school for the benefit of students to receive stipends so that their costs can be defrayed.

How The Funding Works

Many may look at the gift of $40,000 and think that it will not go very far. After all, if 40 deserving students qualified, it would do little more than cover some of the year’s gas money.

However, that is not how a program like this works. The money is put together to create earnings, as well as attract like-minded benefactors. If the $40,000 principal amount was to gain 5% in 2017, then $2,000 would be created for the program. If four other graduates gave similar amounts then the account would have a principal amount of $200,000.

Has Something Like This Worked Before?

This is a very common program, and hopefully going to be more so within the school. For those who wonder how common it is, we can go back at least 228 years!

In 1789 Benjamin Franklin left in his will the amount of 2,000 lbs of sterling silver to accumulate interest until 1989 at which point the money would be distributed to the cities of Philadelphia and Boston. When the account was disbursed in 1992 more than $2,000,000 was bequeathed.…

In today’s modern world finding employees who are qualified for executive positions is very difficult, especially in the Washington, D.C. area. Modern technology has encouraged identification theft, false references, false education history and so forth. By the same token, highly qualified executives searching for a new position can often be misled by false advertising thus wasting time and money.

An applicant will initially be required to present references, a complete resume of previous employers, education resume and other pertinent information. Acting in a business-like professional manner at all times will make a good impression regardless of whether an applicant is meeting with an internal or external executive recruiter.

That is why it is important, when searching for a highly qualified employee, or a highly qualified job, to use an executive recruiter with a good track record. That makes it important to understand the difference between an Internal External Executive Recruiter and an Internal Executive Recruiter.

An External Executive Recruiter:

-Will review, and check, an applicant’s information regarding his or her qualifications and the employment desired

-After screening an applicant, the external executive recruiter will refer qualified people, for an interview, to the appropriate company

-He or she has no position in the actual hiring process
-An applicant can be referred to more than one employer

An Internal Executive Recruiter:

-Works for a specific company
-Usually has an office at the company location
-Is responsible for checking potential employees references and qualifications
-Makes the final decision on employment

Having contact with a firmly established executive recruiter will make a huge difference in the type of employee or the type of job obtained. Many executive jobs require some on- the- job training, which can be expensive. That is why both internal and external executive recruiters are careful in their review of any applicant’s application. This makes it extremely important to include any information that may apply in the applicant’s job application.

A few of the well-known recruiters in the Washington D.C. area are:

–Nels Olson, Korn/Ferry
-JDG Associates, Executive Search Firm
-Lucas Group Executive Recruiters
-The McCormick Group
-Washington D.C. …
