Chapel Hill, NC, June 07, 2021 --(PR.com)-- The most forward-thinking Internet Marketing Individual. We want to transform the way businesses communicate, listen, and share information online." - Ian Mullins

Ian Mullins, the owner, and founder of Future Online Solutions has been an entrepreneur since his early days in High School. He does have quite the story when it comes to his whereabouts growing up.

Though he was born in Connecticut, living there for a few years while his father worked in International Finance in Tokyo. He moved to Tokyo to join his father at the age of four and lived there for 8 years. After that, his fathers job brought his family to Hong Kong where Ian spent a few months there before getting diagnosed with ADHD which led to trouble in school. Ian then moved to a few different schools in a few different states including California, Utah, and then finally a strict boarding school in Montana where he finished up his high school career with a 4.0 and a full semester of college credits already under his belt.

While in Montana he started his first dot com company where he managed different musicians and marketed many underground artists online through his first website. Music is a passion of his since he has been able to play 6 different instruments since his elementary school days.

Since Ian had multiple academic scholarships to many prestigious universities he decided to attend the University Of Denver for his first semester. He didnt attend class very often and actually skipped all of his final exams but was lucky enough to transfer to Indiana University for the Business and Information Technology program. This is where he really dived into coding and the understanding of communicating online through different mediums. He lasted about two years before he decided to drop out and finally decide to fully follow his entrepreneurial spirit.

His passion for music led to his second company where he set up live concerts at different venues in Hong Kong and finally setting up his first music festival in Hawaii called The Paradise Music Festival. All the while he was developing his marketing skills in social media, search engine optimization, graphic marketing, and other forms of advertisement.

After one of his concerts took a turn for the worse in Hawaii due to land permits, his concert promotion credibility was ruined on the islands and he decided to move back to Indiana and then to West Palm Beach, FL where he continued building websites and marketing for other companies as a freelancer and honing in on his skills for about 3 years.

At the end of 2019, he decided to make a bold move to North Carolina where his immediate family was living at the time, and jumped into the Fitness Industry and started a fitness franchise called Fitness NC. There are now 5 locations throughout North Carolina and this company is on the rise due to his marketing skills and business mindset. He plans to franchise the company sometime in 2022.

For most, it would seem that managing a fitness franchise would be enough but for Ian Mullins, there are never enough projects or businesses he seems to have his hands in. This is when he decided to finally start his own digital marketing firm: Future Online Solutions. While still in the early stages of the companys life his pursuit and determination have helped him and his team to take this company to the forefront where they plan on completely changing the way businesses view marketing.

Future Online Solutions is not interested in marketing for the sake of marketing. Rather than that, FOS continuously monitors campaigns and provides regular information on the brands performance. FOS team of experts constantly produces excellent outcomes by combining innovative ideas with extensive expertise. They assist in developing a long-term, meaningful relationship with customers by involving them in the business communication cycle.

Investors race to win early-stage startup deals in India – TechCrunch

India may be grappling with the second wave of the coronavirus, rising unemployment and a dwindling economy, but the South Asian nations burgeoning startup ecosystem has never had it better.

High-profile investors in India have long aggressively chased growth-stage and late-stage deals, pouring record amounts of capital into the worlds second-largest internet market. But in a sign of the growing investor bullishness regarding Indian startups, even early-stage companies that have largely been bereft of much similar attention in recent years are now sharing the limelight.

More than 70 early-stage Indian startups are currently in various stages of talks to raise money, according to sources familiar with the matter. The size of the investments vary from a few million dollars up to $100 million. TechCrunch is reporting some of the more notable deals today.

The usual caveat that many of the deals havent yet closed, and that their terms could change or the talks may not materialize into an investment applies in our reporting. The deals described below have not been previously reported.

Sequoia Capital India, the most prolific investing firm in the country, is in talks to make bets in over two-dozen Indian startups including Register Book, a firm that operates an eponymous bookkeeping app; Vah Vah, which runs an app to educate people about makeup from artists; SaaS platform BambooBox, and email marketing software provider MailModo.

The firm is also in talks to back, alongside venture fund Nexus, OneCode, a startup that runs an app to connect digital-first brands with sellers. Sequoia Capital India, which launched a dedicated fund for early-stage startups called Surge two years ago, is also in talks to invest in Probo, an app to predict future trends; and Rattle.

Vaibhav Domkundwar, who runs Better Capital, said the early-stage startup scene in India has never been this hot.

Pre-seed and seed stage momentum is at its peak, but we are also seeing preemptive rounds at Series As and Bs now, he told TechCrunch.

Domkundwar, who has backed over 140 startups including Khatabook and neobank Open, attributed some excitement to the new generation of founders in India, who he said are building product-first and distribution-first companies. We are seeing the fastest pace of investment in these teams, he said.

A different investor, who requested anonymity, said that second time founders are now able to raise on a deck or a Notion doc from elite angels, unicorn founders and micro VCs. The pace at which these founders are able to close the deal, the investor said, was stunning.

Bipin Shah, a partner at Titan Capital, which has invested in over 200 startups, said that two year ago there were only about 30-40 good stage companies that were getting funded. Over the last year or so, we believe over 500 companies have gotten funded at the seed stages in India, he told TechCrunch, adding that Titan Capital itself has invested in over 60 companies since the beginning of last year.

The frenetic pace of investments in early-stage deals come as many of the more mature bets have become unicorns in India and many established startups are finally exploring taking the public markets.

India has birthed 14 unicorns this year, up from 11 last year and just six in 2019. High-profile investors such as Tiger Global and Falcon Edge Capital have increased their focus on India this year and winning founders with their large size of checks, higher valuation, access to resources and quick turnaround time.

Many established firms are now chasing early-stage deals.

GSV is in talks to invest in Filo, a startup that operates an eponymous tutor app; and payments stack startup Inai has closed a new round from Better Capital and others and will be part of Y Combinators next batch. (Speaking of which, Y Combinators previous batch featured its largest cohort of Indian startups in history.)

One-year-old startup BrightCHAMPS, which has built a coding and math platform for kids, is also in talks with GSV to raise.

Indiagold, a startup that allows people in the South Asian nation to access credit against their gold reserve, is in talks to close a new round with two high-profile foreign investors that have traditionally backed growth and late-stage deals.

Germanys Razor Group is in late-stage talks to invest in Upscale, a startup that is attempting to replicate the Thrasio model in India.

Fintech investor RTP is in talks to invest in fintech firm Refyne, and Fleek, a startup that is building a payments system for subscription economy. Falcon Edges AWI is in talks to invest in Absolute Foods and fitness subscription platform Ultrahuman, while SaaS platform AccelData has been approached by Bessemmer and WestBridge.

For high-profile investors with billions in dry powder, there are many rewards for spotting a promising startup in its initial years. One can buy a much larger stake in a startup for lower prices before the valuation of the startup assuming things work out well soars. Investing early also reduces the amount an investor may lose should things with the portfolio firm goes south.

But not everyone is happy with the new dynamics.

An investor with a microfund told TechCrunch on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly that involvement of bigger investors in early-stage deals has made it tougher for smaller firms to source new deals as the bigger investors are now aggressively trying to close entire rounds by themselves.

The investor said there is an additional competition in the market now: groups of high-profile founders, who tend to collectively back startups.

The investor cited earlier in the story termed these investments as optionality checks. These optionality checks that usually back second-time founders or first-time founders who previously worked at a unicorn or soonicorn started with the Series A crowd such as Sequoia Capital India, Matrix and Lightspeed India Partners, he said. Now, the investor said, Tiger and Falcon/AWI are doing it, too.

There are two implications of these optionality checks, the investor said. They make life more difficult for micro VCs/seed VCs as they cannot compete with the Tigers or Falcons or Series A funds who can cut smaller checks with impunity, and perhaps even dilute less.

But the investor cautioned the founders who are raising such optionality checks. If the same fund doesnt back them in the next round, then the negative signal can imperil their chances of raising from other VCs. Second, the excess money that they get can sometimes encourage faster expansion and higher spends.

Lightspeed India Partners, best known for its investments in unicorns Oyo Rooms and e-commerce platform Udaan, is in talks to back Vegrow, a startup that partners with farmers; and has held talks to invest in100ms.live, which operates an eponymous tool to help developers add video conferencing features to their apps, as well as edtech startup Kalaam Labs.

Dyte, which is building a Stripe for live video calls, is in talks with Nexus and Sequoia Capital India. Elevation Capital, which is also in talks to invest in VeGrow, is inching closer to investing in FamPay, which offers credit cards to teens, at about a $150 million valuation. Bangalore-based Chiratae Ventures is in the final stages of talks to invest in AroLeap and analytics startup Locale.ai.

Fanplay, a platform for social media influencers to monetise via mobile games, has already raised from several American micro VCs, but the round hasnt closed yet. Mumbai-headquartered due diligence and monitoring platform Advarisk has been approached by several investors but has yet to close the round.

Trading signals provider Tradex is in talks to raise from Leo Capital. Audio social media app Frnd, radio and podcast aggregator app Kuku FM, and crop management platform Bharatagri are also in talks with investors to raise capital.

Plug-and-play payments provider Card91 has been approached by several investors but hasnt closed the round yet. Tournafest has closed a round from a clutch of angel investors, and so have Easy Eat and Stockgro. Kosh has raised from YC and VentureSouq among others.

Tech veteran Nandan Nilekanis firm Fundamentum is in talks to back Bijak, which operates a business-to-business marketplace to trade agricultural commodities and supply chain startup Reshamandi.

A survey by InnoVen Capital, results of which were published on Thursday, said that over 80% of the investors it had surveyed said their deal flow for early-stage startups had increased this year, compared to 2020.

Over 75% of the respondents in the same survey said the valuations in recent deals were on the higher side because of the intense competition for high-quality deals and entry of large established VCs in this space.

Early-stage investment activity has proven to be resilient despite the pandemic, with bigger transaction sizes and higher valuations, a clear sign of a maturing early-stage ecosystem, said Tarana Lalwani, senior director at InnoVen Capital India.

Updated at 2am IST, Friday to add insight from Bipin Shah of Titan Capital.

Corporate News Delticom AG: Capital increase without subscription rights successfully placed, high investor interest in the capital increase with subscription rights in the context of the pre-placement

Hanover, June 02, 2021 - Yesterday, Delticom AG announced the successful placement of a significantly oversubscribed capital increase without subscription rights. The short-term issue of 1,246,333 new no-par value registered shares at a placement price of EUR 7.12 is expected to generate gross issue proceeds before costs and commissions of around EUR 8.9 million.

With regard to the announced capital increase with subscription rights, the preliminary placement with qualified investors has shown investor interest in excess of the possible issue volume of up to 1,121,697 new no-par value registered shares. Rights of clawback in the allocation ensure that new shares for which subscription rights are exercised are nevertheless available for subscription by existing shareholders of the Company. The existing shareholders of the Company will be granted the statutory subscription rights to the new shares in the form of medium-term subscription rights. The subscription period is expected to begin on June 4, 2021 and to end on June 18, 2021 (both inclusive).

The gross issue proceeds from the capital increase with subscription rights are expected to amount to approximately EUR 8.0 million before commissions and costs. Assuming a successful implementation, Delticom AG will generate gross issue proceeds from both transactions totalling approximately EUR 16.9 million.

Both capital increases are accompanied by Bankhaus Metzler.

The transaction represents another important step in the restructuring process. It strengthens the company's equity, enables the repayment of loans and creates new financing and growth scope for the future. Thomas Loock, CFO of Delticom AG, is pleased with the successful placement and the high level of investor interest: 'The capital increase is another important milestone in returning Delticom to a sustainably profitable growth path. We are pleased with the high level of investor interest and the successful cooperation with Bankhaus Metzler. We in the Delticom management team see the strong demand for the new shares as a clear confirmation by the capital market that we have taken the right measures for a successful turnaround of the company since the end of 2019.'
