• Principal Alison Anthoine Gives Wise Counsel
March 12, 2010: Alison Anthoine, sees her law training integral part of her management consulting practice. She frequently combines both sides of her training for her clients. However, when she is quoted on American Express's Open Small Business site in "16 things Your Lawyer Won't Tell You," she is quite critical of some practices of her fellow lawyers. "Litigation is a sinkhole," she declared. "Mediation gets the principals in a room together with a facilitator, the principals get to speak for themselves (rather than paying lawyers to posture for them). Most importantly, the facilitator gives the principals the neutral listener that they hope to get from their ‘day in court.' They are empowered to reach their own resolution without any legal mumbo jumbo...."
• Seave Joins Board of Magnify.Net
December 10, 2009: Quantum Principal Ava Seave has joined the Board of privately held Magnify.net. Magnify.net's primary product is a video publishing platform that makes it easy for companies and other organizations to integrate user-generated video, video that they produce, or video that they discover into their websites. Magnify.net writes on its site: "We're powered by the passions of your visitors -- finding relevant user-generated videos and giving you the tools to build a vibrant video community. We built Magnify.net because we believe that everyone has a story to tell and we wanted to give you a platform to tell that story with video. We wanted to make it easy for you to get video and easy for you to share video with the people that make your site or blog so great -- your members and visitors."
Seave agrees with the company's assertion that it has an early advantage in driving the integration of video into high-traffic vertical content sites and that the growth of these niched sites (which matches similar segmentation trends in television and magazines) attract advertisers looking to target specific audiences. The company has two major revenue streams -- ad revenue sharing and fees for pro and enterprise platforms. Funding for Magnify.net has come from Angel and Private Funding including Lead David Rose, Rose Tech Ventures, New York Angels, Next Stage Capital.
Ava has known Founder and CEO Steven Rosenbaum since the early '90s, and is delighted to be associated with this company. You can read the full press release here.
