Rising Team, with $3 million seed, is a platform that combines management tools with training
Jennifer Dulski has held her fair share of leadership positions, from being president and COO of Change.org to serving as head of product for Google’s shopping and product ads to leading the team responsible for Facebook Groups.
But she’s identified a problem that most people managers will all too clearly understand: training and tools to be a great manager are at a shortage.

The platform lets qualified accredited Utah investors view one to two new startup deals each month with pitch decks, a video, the term sheets, and more schedule visits with the founders, and invest online just by connecting their banks and hitting “invest.”
“Literally in five to 10 minutes you can make an investment right next to VC firms,” says Beehive’s fund manager Luke Gunderson, who started the firm with his brother, Jordan. “It’s not the typical model at all and to invest that quickly is highly extraordinary.”
Opendoor vet PJ O Neill spoke to Insider about his iRenting company, Nomad.
Nomad guarantees rent to small landlords, regardless of vacancy, in return for a 5-10% fee.
The company, based in Denver, grew out of O Neil s experience as a landlord and property manager.

That solution, Nomad, emerges from stealth on Wednesday, with the aim of offering landlords guaranteed rent in return for a few percentage points of their rental income.
O Neil got his start in real estate as a small-time landlord, buying one Denver property with his first bonus check. When work brought him away from Denver, a search for a property manager eventually led O Neil to start his own property management business with his mom and brother.
