An Online Community for Venture Capitalists
SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--MyLifeBrand (www.mylifebrand.com), the new social Web platform
which lets users browse, manage, connect and syndicate their favorite
social networks, communities, services and friends all from one site,
announced today, a community on MyLifeBrand that will incorporate the
most popular elements of today's social networking and Web 2.0
destinations to enable its members to more freely and easily network
online. This will be the first professional social network built
exclusively for the venture capital community. The online community,
which can be accessed at www.VentureNetwork.VC, will be available to
venture capitalists, private equity firms, and limited partners.

   Beyond the ability for New England Venture Network (NEVN) members
to access their other professional social networks and colleagues on
other social networks like LinkedIn from within the NEVN community,
the community will include numerous new components designed to not
only facilitate greater exchange of information and ideas but also
create a forum where members can continuously interact outside planned
networking events coordinated by NEVN each year.

   Each member will have their own profile page which can be
populated with detail about their firm, investment focus, personal
background and experience. Not unlike some of the most popular
business and mainstream social networking sites in use today members
will establish their own sub-networks and internal communities.

   "We are very pleased to have been selected by the New England
Venture Network to enable their online community and website", said
Jeff Jani, CEO of MyLifeBrand, "as we consider them among the most
sophisticated networkers around."

   In terms of general features, the new site will enable members to
post and discuss information about deals, job openings and upcoming
industry and live networking events. Also offered will be in-depth
industry research collected from the area's most knowledgeable analyst
firms to help members with due diligence and strategic investment
decisions. Finally, the site will feature regular Q&A sessions with
experts in various fields tangential but pertinent to the venture
capital world, including the fields of law, accounting and marketing.

   Over the long term, NEVN will partner with other venture capital
associations to bring VentureNetwork.VC to the entire venture capital
community. While any eligible industry member can join today, the
flexibility of the MyLifeBrand platform will allow peer associations
to customize scheduling and communications within their unique
memberships while facilitating the collaboration of all members across
the broader network.

   MyLifeBrand aims to be a single-stop social web platform for
enabling users to browse, manage, connect and syndicate their online
networks, communities and services across the Web.

   MyLifeBrand...your life...online.
