A capital fundraising plan (CFP) is a tool that combines a business operational plan with a funding needs assessment to determine how much investment capital is needed, when it is needed, and how to think about valuation. Developing a CFP involves identifying key business milestones, determining resource needs and costs for each milestone, and assigning reasonable valuation ranges for reaching each milestone to structure an investment proposition for investors. The CFP helps entrepreneurs secure funding and negotiate terms more effectively.

Experts can create customized models for any industry that clients can interact with to test different scenarios and assumptions.

Chief Information Security Officer - A Critical Leadership Role
Ninety-four percent of CxOs in a recent IBM Survey believe it is probable their companies will experience a significant cyber security incident in the next two years. It is not a matter of ‘if’ it will happen, but when.
Businesses are therefore focused on developing effective strategies and governance frameworks to mitigate the risk and reduce the damage of the inevitable cyber security breaches they face.
However, to be effective those strategies and governance frameworks need to be supported and executed through great leadership by Chief Information Security Officers and their senior teams.
Our just released white paper highlights three key leadership challenges faced by Chief Information Security Officers.

Storytelling
Storytelling is the art of using language, gestures, and physical movement to share a story with a live audience. It involves orally presenting a narrative with characters, structure, and a sense of completeness. There are benefits to both reading a story aloud from a book and telling a story from memory without the book. Reading allows less mistakes but lacks a personal experience, while telling allows seeing children's faces but risks mistakes. Effective storytelling requires practice and uses preparing the environment, voice, body language, and language to engage listeners. Benefits of storytelling include helping children learn about the world, develop skills like listening and imagination, and support emotional and intellectual development.

In this slideshow, you will learn how to:

It explains that a financial model forecasts key financial metrics like revenue, expenses, profits, cash flows, and balance sheets. Building the model requires gathering business assumptions and data to develop mathematical formulas that project how the business will perform financially. The model output includes income statements, cash flow statements, charts, and key investment indicators that investors consider like EBITDA, revenue growth, cash balances, valuation, and internal rate of return. Creating a customized model captures the unique aspects of a business and allows evaluating "what if" scenarios to understand the financial implications of different assumptions.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

February 2011 - Business Law & Order - Matthew Bower
- 1. DEVELOPING A BUSINESS “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN” By: Donald H. Baker, Jr. Presented By: Matthew W. Bower Safford & Baker, PLLC
- 2. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”?
- 3. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? A “Capital Fundraising Plan” or “CFP” is a self-diagnostic plan or tool that combines a business operational plan with a funding needs assessment.
- 4. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? The CFP helps answer three questions: HOW MUCH investment capital the company needs. WHY AND WHEN investment capital is needed. WHAT is the right way to think about valuation and other key investment terms.
- 5. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? The advantages of using a CFP: You will gain a sense of confidence in your proposed “ask”, your terms and what is a “must” for your business. You will be able to tell your “financial” story more effectively to investors.
- 6. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? The advantages of using a CFP: You will help investors become realistic about long-term capital needs, so that if you need additional capital, they will be will prepared for it.
- 7. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? The advantages of using a CFP: You will have a document around which you can construct both your investor presentation and your investor negotiations on issues such as valuation and dilution.
- 8. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? The advantages of using a CFP: Finally, the CFP reveals that your investor “ask” makes no financial sense.
- 9. WHAT IS A “CAPITAL FUNDRAISING PLAN”? A CFP is NOT: A set of projections leading to a multi-billion dollar business in three years. A plan that cannot be changed. An exact science.
- 10. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP”
- 11. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP” Step One. Choose a relevant time frame – three to five years. Step Two. Develop a list of the most significant business and operational milestones (“Key Milestones”) during the timeframe in Step One. (But not funding milestones.)
- 12. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP” A “Key Milestone” is a measurable event which, if it happens, results in your business being recognizably more valuable. “Recognizable” just means that it is meaningful, not that the change in value is huge.
- 13. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP” Step Three. For each Key Milestone: What is your “Shopping List” of necessary non-monetary resources (personnel, equipment, etc.)? How much time is needed? How much do the one-time items in your Shopping List cost? What do the ongoing items in your Shopping List cost over the time frame?
- 14. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP” Your “one-time items” costs plus your “ongoing items” costs over the time frame equals your “Investor Ask” for each Key Milestone.
- 15. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP” Step Four. Repeat the process for each Key Milestone. For Key Milestones that are post-revenue, reduce the total by net contributions from sales and operations
- 16. HOW TO MAKE A “CFP” At the end of the CFP process, you will have: A three- to five-year business picture A description of your “Key Milestones” A “Shopping List” for each Milestone A forecasted “Investment Ask” for each Key Milestone
- 17. HOW TO MHOW MUCH IS IT WORTH? VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PROPOSITION.
- 18. Valuation and Investment Proposition Step One. Place a reasonable range of value on the business at the end of year three assuming that the three-year business picture is fully realized.
- 19. Valuation and Investment Proposition Step Two. Explain your reason of why that range is defensible based on the metrics you have adopted in the three- to five-year picture.
- 20. Valuation and Investment Proposition Step Three. Working backward from the end of the three- to five-year business plan, take each Key Milestone and assign a value to that Milestone only.
- 21. Valuation and Investment Proposition Answer this question: If at the end of business plan, the business is worth $(X)mm, then when I hit this Milestone, I am (Y)% to the goal, and the business is therefore worth (Z)%.
- 22. Valuation and Investment Proposition Why are we working backwards in developing the value proposition? Stay realistic Focus milestones Avoid common entrepreneur valuation mistakes
- 23. Valuation and Investment Proposition What are the common entrepreneur valuation mistakes? The “We Will Take Over the World” approach The “What I Gotta Keep” approach
- 24. Valuation and Investment Proposition Now, you are ready to structure a pitch to investors based on this basic investment proposition: Today, this business is arguably worth $________ to $________ (the “Pre-Money Value”). If investors collectively invest the “ask amount” for this Key Milestone, and we reach the next Key Milestone, our business will be worth $________.
- 25. Valuation and Investment Proposition Your investment will then be worth $________ to $________. That is a rate of return of ________, plus the opportunity to increase that return as the business valuation increases. Later investors will have to pay more in order to achieve higher values in the future, and you’ll feel good about the value you got when you invested. In other words, you are being compensated for being an early risk-taker.
- 26. Valuation and Investment Proposition Later investors will have to pay more in order to achieve higher values in the future, and you’ll feel good about the value you got when you invested.
