When you invest your money, do you know the person who invests it for you? What are they like? What sort of credentials do they have? I think it's a good idea to know who is handling your hard-worked dollars.

Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners has an impressive background as an academic, but more importantly, he has broad interests in sports and philanthropic ventures. To give you a broad idea of the man behind the company, I learned a bit more about Alex Crisses Venture Partners; such as he attended Harvard Business School where he was a Conference Director of Venture Capital and Private Equity Club. Definitely building upon his education for the future. Having broad interests is also important to leaders in an industry. For example, Alex Crisses Insight Venture Partners didn't experience only academic success, he also enjoyed success as a Former Director of Fundraising and Executive Committee member Minds Matter - New York Based Charity for under privileged High School Students. He also was involved with New York City Police Foundation, Sergeants Benevolent Association and Make a Wish Foundation. Last not least, he was a Varsity tennis player at University of Pennsylvania.

All these activities, the educational experience, sports, and charitable work help shape Alex Crisses into the person he is today.

Has this ever happened to you?

2009-05-01T06:53:00.000-07:00

Has this ever happened to you? Your flight has just landed…you grab your baggage and head toward the nearest taxi stand. After getting into the cab and giving the address to your hotel, it dawns on you: do you have enough cash to pay the cab fare? After rifling through your pockets, wallet and coat jacket, it appears you will be short on the fare.

You’re in a strange city and there’s no ATM in sight. Well, rather than panic and explain to your cabbie that he/she isn’t getting paid for full fare, you can relax because of one man; Amos Tamam.

Amos Tamam invented the system of allowing cabs to be able to take credit cards for cab fare. And, to test the product, who better to use than the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission. After a successful run , it became apparent that Amos Tamam came up with a brilliant idea. Travelers that wanted to keep all their expenses on a corporate card were now able to do so for easier reporting and Amos’s technology was now in demand. So if you’ve ever used this technology, say thank you to Mr. Tamam!

The Power of Surveys!

2009-05-01T06:45:00.000-07:00

Have you ever gotten an invitation to participate in a survey? If you have, you have experienced what direct mail marketing is all about! Why is this so important? Because the final result can lead to serious money making. The idea seems simple and a company that developed this concept is named Survey Resource Center (SRC Leads).

SRC Leads was founded in 1998 and began to put together different methods of finding data that revealed customer preferences of products and services. This data would prove to be very useful for companies vying for customers’ patronage. So, SRC Leads became a provider of prospect leads for financial, banking and real estate industries and has prospered in the process.

Companies want to know what YOU are looking for so next time someone asks you to complete a survey, do yourself a favor and tell them what you want!
