BizRocket.com Inc. has begun the process of raising $1,000,000 from private investors. The company expects to have the raise completed within the next 30 days. Negotiations are underway with an Investment Banking firm that has presented a contract to BizRocket. BizRocket believes that the firm has the potential to raise interim financing of between $5 and $10 million dollars, that will provide BizRocket the ability to make strategic e-commerce acquisitions, and hire the personnel necessary to establish the BizRocket.com Ethics Bureau "privacy" and "reliability" seals as Internet standards. The seals are issued to Web sites that want to assure the public that they have a high standard of privacy and ethical business practices. The establishment of its hyper-linked Ethics Bureau seals on qualifying Web sites will result in substantially increased hits at its search engine/portal, e-commerce site, (www.BizRocket.com) presenting the Company with amplified and multiple e-commerce opportunities. BizRocket.com, Inc. has renewed its Distinguished Provider Contract with America Online's Netscape Netcenter, and has begun discussions that may lead to additional visibility for BizRocket on America Online's proprietary network. "BizRocket's link currently appears on Netscape's "Search the Internet" page that can be accessed by clicking on the "Search (flashlight)" button on the Netscape browser. The BizRocket link appears on over 40 million Netscape page views per week. The BizRocket link has also been included in a Netscape Newsletter that was sent to over 8 million subscribers, yielding over 63,000 additional hits for the portal during the first day" said Ismach. Ismach also announced today that Mike Evans, formerly Eastern Regional Sales Manager of both of Alps and Pentax, has joined the Company as a new key sales management member.
