The Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project at the Graziadio School of Business and Management is the first simultaneous, comprehensive, and on-going investigation of the major private capital market segments. The research seeks to understand the true cost of private capital across market types and the investment expectations of privately-held business owners; providing lenders, investors and the businesses that depend on them with critical data to make optimal investment and financing decisions, and better determine where the opportunities to create lasting economic value may be realized.
The 2014 Economic Forecast collected insights from over 3,600 small and mid-sized business owners and gauged their level of confidence for economic growth over the next year. Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management together with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. also assessed business owners’ perspective on which government policies promote or hinder economic growth. The research was conducted under the auspices of the Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project at http://bschool.pepperdine.edu/privatecapital.

Hyper-niche segments of customers are becoming ever more readily reachable. There are an incredible amount of channels and tools at our disposal to reach any particular target audience, so is it really necessary that life science companies spend their precious marketing and sales resources creating conference exhibits, flying staff around the world, and paying conferences for exhibition booths?
The costs are huge. Previous studies have found that B2B companies spend 20% of their marketing budgets on conferences. At the same time, conferences are ranked very highly for both generating leads and driving awareness and are also broadly viewed to be effective. Considering that lead generation is consistently ranked as the top marketing challenge perhaps conferences are still worth the cost after all.
Are conferences really still worth it? Are we over-investing in them at the expense of higher-ROI opportunities? Or perhaps they’re so effective that we almost can’t spend enough. With input from over 50 life science marketing professionals, these are the questions this study answers.

ALLVP Research: The State of Mexico's Startups 2016 ResultsWill Saborio
What is the startup founder experience like in Mexico? How does the local startup ecosystem compare to its U.S. cousin? These are critical questions, and it's important to get input on them from the founders driving change in Mexico's dynamic and vibrant startup landscape.
To that end we replicated First Round Capital's recent "State of Startups 2015" survey to shed light on these topics. The Mexico landscape is still young and as such lacks a depth of data; comparison with other ecosystems can offer a valuable analysis. We surveyed a broad set of founders based or working in Mexico to gauge their sentiments and compare them against their peers in the U.S. Hopefully their answers can help other founders, investors, or even dreamers thinking of starting their company.

BYD SWOT Analysis and In-Depth Insights 2024.pptxmikemetalprod
Indepth analysis of the BYD 2024

Initially manufacturing gasoline-powered vehicles, BYD focused on plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, leveraging its expertise in battery technology.
Today, BYD is the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer, delivering over 1.2 million electric cars globally. The company also produces electric buses, trucks, forklifts, and rail transit.
On the energy side, BYD is a major supplier of rechargeable batteries for cell phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.
The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.
Here is the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor
@Pi_vendor_247
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

About Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project

investors and the businesses that depend on them with critical data to make optimal investment and financing decisions, and better
determine where the opportunities to create lasting economic value may be realized. Download reports and find more information at
