Raise Money Is A Founder Investor Networking Platform That Connects Founders With Senior Investors.
Raise Money is a Founder Investor Networking platform that connects founders with senior investors.

You can post your startup idea and receive feedback from investors and other entrepreneurs.
Investors can find you, the best startups, and the most promising projects on Raise Money.
It’s a place where you can learn about what makes an investor tick, their preferences for how they make investments, what their investment criteria are (e.g., stage of company), how much money they typically invest in a startup at any given time etc…
How Raise Money Makes It Easy To Connect With Other Investors.
Raise Money has a built-in matchmaking tool that connects founders with investors based on their interests.

The platform also uses a messaging tool to allow investors to communicate with founders, so they can easily discuss how they can work together. In addition, there’s also a deal database where investors can list their deals and connect with new opportunities that are relevant to them.

How Raise Money Helps Founders Learn What They Need To Know About Investors.
We’re here for you.

We help founders gain access to the right investors for their business. Investors are also able to connect with startups that meet their criteria, as well as find other like-minded investors who can be helpful partners in their portfolio.

You can list your preferred investment criteria and get matched with start-ups that match your interests. It’s easy to sort through lists of investors based on their preferences, or vice versa if you’re an investor looking for a certain type of startup. This way, everyone saves time and gets involved right away!

The Types Of Investors You Can Find On Raise Money.
Raise Money is the place where you can find investors who are looking for companies that are just like yours. These investors include:

Venture capital firms, which invest in later-stage companies with a business model, revenue and team that have passed the idea stage. They typically invest $1 million or more of equity into companies whose valuation is between $5 million and $15 million.
Angel investors, who provide seed funding to startups that are often at an earlier stage than VCs but still require significant amounts of money to get off the ground. The average angel round is around $250K-$2M, although some angels will make larger investments if they see great potential in your company or product.
Family offices (FOs), which are similar to VC firms except that FOs represent wealthy individuals or families rather than institutional investors like banks or pension funds. Many family offices have high values on their balance sheet because they use them as investment vehicles for both themselves and their children’s inheritance; these investments may generate income as well without being taxed at higher rates than other income sources would be taxed at because they’re considered “passive.” Family offices also tend toward smaller deals than VCs do—the average FO will usually invest between $200k-$300k per deal instead of millions—but there’s no formal cap on how much each FO can contribute toward one deal either way!
How To Get A Meeting With An Investor Through Raise Money.
Upload your pitch deck and video to Raise Money
Associate yourself and your business with the relevant investor(s) in your network who have already agreed to fund startups in your space
When you get a request for a meeting from an investor, follow up with them by phone or email (if they don’t respond within 5 days, reach out again)
What Investors Are Looking For When They Evaluate A Startup Pitch On Raise Money.
As a founder, you can pitch your startup idea to investors on Raise Money. Here are things that investors are looking for when evaluating your pitch:

A good business idea
A good team
A good market opportunity (is there enough money in this market?)
A solid business plan with a clear strategy and goals (how will you make money?)
A clear and concise pitch (don’t ramble on for 20 minutes) If you can answer all of these questions, then you are ready to pitch your startup idea on Raise Money.

What Types Of Deals Have Tended To Be Most Successful On Raise Money.
When a deal is posted on Raise Money, the founders have the option to include the number of follow-on investors they’ve received. These are referred to as “warm intros” and can range from one investor to over 15. We found that deals with four or more warm intros tend to receive funding more quickly than those without any at all. While this doesn’t mean that your deal will be successful just because you’ve got some warm intros, it does indicate that people in your network will be more likely to invest in you if they see other people investing too.

On average, we found that most deals on Raise Money receive between two and four warm intros before receiving funding or being withdrawn from consideration (meaning there were no further updates). However, there was one case where a founder received over 60 warm intros within 24 hours of posting their company profile! We also saw cases where companies had five or more funding offers within 24 hours but still chose not to proceed with any of them yet (in part because they didn’t want outside pressure).

Learn more about the options that could interest you and where to find those options in your area before going through the process of applying for funding.
This is important because you want to make sure you’re talking with investors who are looking for deals similar to yours, and that they understand what it takes to get a deal done.
If there aren’t enough deals in your local market, then it makes sense for you as an investor to look further away (you can still be a local investor if you have funds invested locally).
Conclusion
If you want to connect with investors, but don’t know where to start, we can help. We’ve developed a platform that makes it easy for founders to find and connect with the right investors for their startups. You can learn more about how it works by visiting our website at Raise Money.com or by contacting us directly via email or phone

Angry IT administrator destroys employer’s databases; sentenced to 7 years in prison

Angry IT administrator destroys employer's databases; sentenced to 7 years in prison

Han Bing, a former database manager for Lianjia, a major Chinese real estate agency, was given a 7-year prison term for breaking into company computers and erasing data.

Bing is accused of carrying out the conduct in June 2018, when he reportedly accessed the company’s finance system using his administrator rights and “root” account and deleted all previously saved data from two database servers and two application servers.

Large elements of Lianjia’s operations were immediately crippled as a result, leaving tens of thousands of workers without pay for an extended length of time and necessitating a data restoration effort that cost about $30,000.

However, because Lianjia has thousands of offices, employs over 120,000 brokers, owns 51 companies, and has an estimated $6 billion market value, the indirect costs from the firm’s economic disruption were significantly more detrimental.

examination of the staff
H. Bing was one of the five primary suspects in the event involving the data deletion, according to records made public by the court of the People’s Procuratorate of Haidian District, Beijing.

When the administrator refused to reveal his laptop password to the company’s inspectors, suspicions were quickly aroused.

Chinese media outlets who reprinted portions of the disclosed documents explain that “Han Bing stated that his computer had confidential data and the password could only be handed to official authorities, or would only accept entering it personally and being present during the checks.”

The checks were solely carried out to evaluate the response of the five employees who had access to the system because, as the investigators testified in court, they knew that such an operation wouldn’t leave any records on the laptops.

Finally, the experts were able to pinpoint the activity to particular internal IPs and MAC addresses after retrieving access records from the servers. The inspectors even collected WiFi network logs and timestamps, which they afterwards compared against CCTV footage to validate their suspicions.

The forensic expert hired by the company concluded that Bing had wiped the databases using the “shred” and “rm” commands. Rm deletes the files’ symbolic links, whereas shred overwrites the data three times with different patterns to make it unrecoverable.

Unhappy employee?
Unexpectedly, Bing had regularly warned his employer and superiors about security flaws in the finance system, even emailing other administrators to express his concerns.

He was mostly disregarded, nevertheless, as the departmental administrators never gave their approval for the security project he wanted to oversee.

This was supported by the testimony of the director of ethics at Lianjia, who told the court that Han Bing frequently argued with his superiors because he believed his organisational suggestions weren’t valued.

A similar incident occurred in September 2021 when a former employee of a credit union in New York deleted approximately 21.3GB of records in a 40-minute rampage as retaliation for her managers terminating her.

Internet Explorer 11 support will no longer be offered by WordPress.

WordPress, the most well-known and widely used blogging platform, is thinking about removing support for Internet Explorer 11 when its usage falls below 1%.

WordPress has discovered that the cumulative usage of IE 11 is less than 1% using the following three metrics:

according to StatCounter’s GlobalStats, 0.71%.
from W3 Counter, 1.2%
from WordPress.com, 0.46%
When WordPress stopped supporting Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 in 2017, these usage figures were comparable.

WordPress plans to discontinue support for Internet Explorer 11 in the future due to the low number of users and the significant expense of maintaining the browser.

“Regarding the present WordPress user experience, the majority of WordPress users ought to be aware by now that a flag was introduced to BrowseHappy around 13 months ago to not recommend IE. In connection with this, the entire IE11 experience is subpar and comes with a significant maintenance cost for developers “Last week, WordPress clarified in a blog post.

WordPress is requesting feedback from individuals and organisations that still use the browser by March 18th in order to formulate their strategies for ceasing support.

WordPress is not the only platform to stop supporting IE 11.

Microsoft Teams’ web app will no longer be supported by Internet Explorer, and Microsoft 365 would stop supporting it on August 17, 2021, according to a 2020 August Microsoft announcement.

Major Canadian banks experience a bizarre, hours-long outage

Major Canadian banks experience a bizarre, hours-long outage

Major Canadian banks fell unavailable for several hours, denying consumers access to e-transfers, online and mobile banking, and other services.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) are among the institutions apparently affected by the outage (CIBC).

For many, online banking and e-Transfers are not working.
Yesterday, the main banks in Canada went offline, making it difficult for many people to access e-Transfers, online, and mobile banking services.

The number of reports of people experiencing problems accessing their online banking peaked on Wednesday between 5 and 6 p.m. Eastern time, while BleepingComputer is still receiving an influx of these reports today:

 

An RBC spokesman acknowledged that “we are currently having technical challenges with our online and mobile banking, as well as our phone services.”

“We have no ETA to offer at this time, but our specialists are looking into it and striving to fix it as soon as they can. We value your tolerance.”

Customers continued to report problems a few hours later, within 30 minutes of RBC declaring that all systems were operating normally:

Andrew Currie, an RBC client, stated that the disruption left him without “access to my money at the grocery store” and forced him to wait in line for the cash register for 30 minutes.

Customers of BMO also noticed that the bank’s “Global Money Transfer service” was unavailable “all day” and that transfers were being automatically denied without any apparent cause. Such customers were advised to contact customer care by a BMO representative.

Inconsistencies with their internet banking were not acknowledged by CIBC.

Customers were apparently locked out of the TD Bank mobile banking app, and customer support agents said they “haven’t been told of recent concerns with our online service through EasyWeb.”

According to a TD Bank representative speaking to BleepingComputer, the bank had no significant system issues or outages.

It’s unclear at this moment whether some people’s difficulties at the ATMs were caused by the outage. According to an RBC staffer, the customer experiencing ATM problems is using an old debit card:

Some transfers are subject to rules under the Emergencies Act.

Although the reason for the outage is unknown, its timing is very intriguing because it comes only a few days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used the Emergencies Act in the midst of ongoing “Freedom Convoy” rallies.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland detailed the new rules that payment service providers must follow in accordance with the recently implemented Emergencies Act on Monday during a press briefing on Parliament Hill.

Additionally, without a court ruling and without risking civil liability, the Emergencies Act gives banks the power to freeze the accounts of people and companies they believe to be connected to the illegal blockades.

However, as the Deputy PM notes, since banks are currently required to report to FINTRAC, it is still unclear how new legislation will cause a planned or unanticipated outage.
