Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 13, 2012

Retrofit, the expert-led, data-driven weight loss program for busy professionals, has raised $ 8 million in a Series A financing led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson. DFJ has invested $ 6 million in the innovative company dedicated to combating America?s obesity epidemic. This round includes new investments from Correlation Ventures and Hyde Park Angels. Previous investors New World Ventures and I2A Fund also participated.

?Retrofit is thrilled to partner with venture capital pioneer DFJ,? said Retrofit CEO and Founder Jeff Hyman, who points out that more than 90% of Retrofit?s clients are losing weight. ?With this investment, we will continue on our mission to achieve unrivaled weight loss outcomes for our clients.?

DFJ is based in Menlo Park, Calif. and has a history of investing in emerging trends before they become mainstream. Retrofit will use the Series A financing to enhance its highly-effective online weight loss program as it continues to turn the tide on America?s obesity crisis. Mohanjit Jolly, DFJ Managing Director, will join the company?s board of directors.

Retrofit is a high-tech, high-touch weight loss program, which uses the latest technology in wireless tracking devices along with highly-trained wellness experts. Each Retrofit client consults with a registered dietitian, exercise physiologist, and behavior coach via Skype? videoconferences. Retrofit delivers weight loss through behavior change to achieve results that can last a lifetime.

?Retrofit?s mission is a big one: to reverse the course of the obesity epidemic by addressing the underlying physical and psychological hurdles of losing weight,? said Jolly. ?The passionate team at the company has demonstrated in just a short time how powerful the platform can be in changing lives for the better, and we firmly believe in the power of data-driven weight loss as a massive market opportunity.?

The Series A financing brings the total investment in Retrofit to $ 10.7 million. Hyman created the company and initially raised $ 700,000 after he and his wife visited a destination wellness resort. Working with a personal team of experts inspired him to create a holistic program using technology to deliver the same kind of personalized weight loss program to consumers via the Internet. The company now has 80 full-time & part-time employees nationwide.

?Retrofit is a game-changer for the weight loss industry,” said Brad Feld, a Retrofit client and Managing Director of Foundry Group. “A private team of wellness experts helped me re-program some bad patterns so I could lose those ‘last 20 pounds’ I had been talking about for a decade. Retrofit provided a positive and powerful feedback loop for success. Not only does the program help you lose weight, but also it helps you establish the skills to keep the weight off for life.”

Two-thirds of America?s population is overweight and related health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes, are soaring. Retrofit is committed to changing those statistics as it transforms companies into healthy and energized workplaces. The weight loss company is so passionate about its mission and proven success with busy professionals that it is giving away almost $ 300,000 worth of weight loss programs in the groundbreaking Retrofit My Company contest.

Applicants simply submit a 500-word essay describing why they should win a free year of Retrofit weight loss for up to 100 of their co-workers at RetrofitMyCompany.com.

Prominent judges include: J.B. Pritzker, Managing Partner of The Pritzker Group; Larry Levy, CEO of Levy Organization; Bruce Cazenave, CEO of Nautilus Inc.; Wayne Cooper, Publisher and Chairman of Chief Executive Group; Jeffrey Yordon, CEO and President, Sagent Pharmaceuticals; and Dr. Holly Wyatt, Clinical Researcher at The Center for Human Nutrition.

The contest goes live on November 13, 2012 at 12:00 AM (CST) and closes on December 12, 2012 at 11:59 PM (CST). Retrofit will announce the Grand Prize winner on January 2, 2013.

Chicago (PRWEB) September 20, 2012

Stop Looking at MEdia (SLAM) today announced the launch of its Internet humor website, http://www.stoplookingatmedia.com. Featuring original videos combining sharp humor and high-quality production with fresh takes on the often absurd world of pop culture, SLAM was established by a group of independent, award-winning media producers to create and showcase new online content and funny media trailblazers. In addition to producing and distributing its own material, SLAM helps other content producers develop, create, promote and market their original ideas.

The launch of SLAM coincides with a rising interest in the growth and potential of Internet TV content companies. YouTube has invested more than $ 350M in online comedy channels* and VCs are beginning to fund emerging content players.+ According to co-founder Everett Salyer, SLAM seeks to seize this momentum and fill a void in the current marketplace, starting in its own backyard.

?There is a wealth of creative talent in Chicago with amazing ideas, but there is a lack of resources focused exclusively on online content,? said Salyer. ?SLAM?s initial goal is to provide a complete solution to individuals and companies in Chicago and throughout the Midwest that are looking for professional video content production and marketing capabilities to create funny media. And we hope to have a blast doing it.?

Funny Is as Funny Does

At SLAM, the creative process begins and ends with funny content. ?We help our clients every step of the way, starting with the ideation phase,? said Salyer. ?We meet to discuss their ideas and brainstorm ways to make their content as funny as possible. Once we determine direction, we bring together the right set of resources and talent for each project, including some of the brightest and funniest stand up and improv comedians in the business.?

To encourage new talent, SLAM has adopted an innovative business model based on online advertising to cover most upfront expenses. ?SLAM is committed to serving as an incubator for new online content and working with clients to eliminate financial barriers, so we can stay focused on being funny,? said Salyer.

Other pre- and post-production services SLAM offers to clients include character development, script writing, storyboarding, sound design, wardrobe design, set design, shooting, lighting, editing, and post production effects. When a project is complete, SLAM aggressively markets each video to ensure as many views as possible.

CordeValle Debuts Holistic Game Improvement Program

San Martin, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

A comprehensive approach to golf instruction has been developed at CordeValle, the award-winning Rosewood Resort minutes from the heart of Silicon Valley.

Debuting May 1, the new Holistic Golf Experience offers students personalized instruction in the five building blocks of the game most necessary for improvement: the body?s ability to perform a repeatable motion, proper technique for each individual student, fitted equipment, the short game strokes, and the mental game to include effective game management.

?The Holistic Golf Experience approaches the game in its entirety, rather than focusing on just one discipline, such as full swing or the short game,? says head teaching professional Jonathan Horner, who recently joined CordeValle from the prestigious Jim McLean Golf Academy at Miami Beach Golf Club.

?Each segment of the game is important by itself, but we combine the whole swing and the whole person to come up with the whole answer,? Horner said.

The Holistic Golf Experience borrows from each of the five disciplines to produce the most efficient and repeatable golf swing for each individual.

1. Technique: Full swing training using modern technology, drills, and teaching aids to help students find the swing most suited to them and is repeatable. We unlock the mystery of the golf swing for each student.

2. Club Analysis: Using Flight Scope, innovative Radar Technology, we analyze ball flight to make sure each student is playing with the club specifications which maximize their ability level.

3. Body Analysis & Sports Training: Certified Physical Therapists and Trainers specializing in golf specific muscle groups and patterns, analyze range of motion, strength, and flexibility to help determine the best and most repeatable motion for each student.

4. Mental & Course Management: Disciplined practice routines are provided to maximize results from practice sessions; course management strategies are introduced to eliminate the big numbers; and the mental approach to scoring and how to focus which will tighten up the variance between the good and bad days.

5. The Scoring Game: The fundamentals and concepts needed to switch from a full-swing mentality to a scoring mentality from 130 yards and in to the hole.

The Holistic Golf Experience places a priority on personalized attention allowing students to select the elements most important to them.

?We identify what it takes for students to improve, but we don?t demand they do everything,? Horner said. ?Rather than molding their swing into a perfect tour model, we improve on what they already have.?

The Holistic Golf Experience requires a two-night stay at CordeValle, which offers a selection of luxury suites. Each student receives three hours of instruction both days, body analysis & sports massage/training, as well as unlimited access to the Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, ranked among the ?Top 100 Public Courses? in the country by Golf Digest, and CordeValle?s newly expanded all-grass practice facility.

An special introductory price of $ 997 per person (based upon double occupancy) includes the entire Holistic Golf Experience and Unlimited Golf. Hotel pricing is based upon the best available rate depending on availability, season, and room type. Discounts are provided for school participants. Resort fees, meals, tax and gratuities are additional.

To schedule sessions with the Holistic Golf Experience, contact Sean Ouellette at 408.695.4590 (ext. 4441), or sean(dot)ouellette(at)rosewoodhotels(dot)com.

CordeValle is a secluded 1,700-acre sanctuary set in the natural mountainside landscape that stretches along the inland foothills of Northern California?s scenic Santa Cruz Mountains. With its award-winning golf course, CordeValle provides an intimate experience for golf purists. A world-class championship venue, CordeValle also hosts the annual Frys.com Open on the PGA Tour and Gifford Invitational, an elite Men?s Collegiate event hosted by UCLA.

Beyond golf, CordeValle guests enjoy world-class amenities including a 35,000- square-foot clubhouse with a variety of meeting spaces, the signature Sense

So You Think You Can Text?! Free textRace Game Debuts on the Apple App Store

Friday, March 23, 2012 @ 07:03 AM

Marina del Rey, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2010

Fire up those texting fingers and prepare to do battle — the ultimate texting throwdown is here. From the creators of the free, unlimited texting app textPlus, comes textRace, a no holds barred texting game that pits challengers against the clock in a test of speed and accuracy. textRace is free to download for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

The premise is simple: a message appears in the app, and users must accurately retype that message to beat the clock. The faster and more precise they retype it, the more points they earn and levels they unlock. The app’s speed clock and pounding music get the blood pumping, and the fiercest competitors can boast about their high scores by posting them to Facebook.

To get started, users ease into the action using Training Mode to practice. Once the thumbs are warmed up, users build up to Challenge Mode, where they sharpen their skills and shave seconds off their personal best. From there, the truly skilled move on to World Record Mode, where they test their talent against the very best.

“A lot of people think they’re fast texters, but this game separates the pretenders from the contenders,” said textRace textpert, Drew Olanoff. “With no autocorrect or predictive text, textRace challengers have to have legit skills to earn big. That said, even the rookies love it — my own mom can’t stop trying to beat her personal best.”

Created by the founders of legendary gaming company JAMDAT Mobile, textRace also comes with the option to customize the app with themes like “Heavy Metal” and “Vampires,” and lets users actually challenge the real-life world texting record time.

textRace comes from textPlus Labs, the gaming division of the developers behind the hugely popular textPlus app for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android phones. textPlus lets you text one-to-one, in groups and in Communities, for free. Over 6.5 million people have already downloaded the textPlus app, and within the network of users, over half a billion messages are sent monthly.

textRace can be downloaded on the Apple App Store here: http://itunes.com/app/textrace

About textPlus Labs

textPlus Labs develops games and apps related to texting. Created by the gaming experts behind JAMDAT Mobile, which was acquired by EA, textPlus Labs combines the fun of games with the mass appeal of texting.

About textPlus

textPlus brings ad-supported real one-to-one, group and Community texting to the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Android phones through both its mobile application and textPlus short code. textPlus is carrier and Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) compliant and enables seamless interaction between textPlus application users and their friends using regular text messaging (SMS).

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

The number of PC users worldwide continues to grow at a tremendous rate, and as the clock ticks towards 2012, owning a PC is almost an essential part of life in the 21st century as more and more businesses take their services online. PC maintenance and security is vital to keep things running smoothly, however performing a regular clean-up and maintenance routine manually is a time-consuming and laborious task, even for advanced, more technical users. Basic users can find this daunting, even confusing, and this could have dangerous consequences even paralyzing the PC with costly repercussions. IObit?s Advanced SystemCare takes the pain out of the process, and has become the software of choice for many businesses and consumers wanting to optimise, clean, protect and repair their computers.

Ever since the software was first launched in 2005, Advanced SystemCare has evolved into a fully-comprehensive suite of tools, and the launch of version 5 brings a host of improvements, some new features and enhanced usability. The powerful new version retains the many features seen in previous releases that have surpassed 130 million downloads globally.

Advanced SystemCare 5 divides its functions into four distinct categories. The first, Quick Care performs a series of rapid checks that can be run on a daily basis; the second, Deep Care provides a thorough analysis of the PC?s state of health and carries out security and vulnerability fixes, tweaks and improvements, defrags the registry and cleans-up junk files; the third section, Toolbox, contains over 20 easy-to-use utilities offering even more PC maintenance power and the fourth section, Turbo Boost, turns offnon-essential resources with one-click, delivering even more performance capacity when it?s needed most.

The key new feature addition in this release is Active Boost, technology that actively runs in the background intelligently managing system resources in real-time, constantly detecting inactive resources and optimizing CPU and RAM usage.
