NBC’s show “Making It” is bringing creativity to television with a fantastic batch of Makers in a fun and lighthearted competition for the third summer. This season, 2010 George Whittell High School graduate Adam Kingman is part of the show that airs every Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
The industrial designer has always had a creative side he said, starting when he grew up in Lake Tahoe. The multi-sport athlete was an avid photographer and he created stories on film about his friends, but had never tried crafting. After Whittell, Adam went onto the University of Washington in Seattle where he majored in Industrial Design.

Lighter Capital an alternative for tech startups
Experience on both sides of the funding table taught B.J. Lackland that traditional methods of seeking financing don’t work for the vast majority of technology entrepreneurs, so he set out to create one that did.
That path led to Lighter Capital, a company which helps technology companies grow without giving up equity, board seats or personal guarantees. The revenue-based financing model provides between $50,000 and $2 million in entrepreneur-friendly growth capital with flexible payments matching the ups and downs of that particular business.
Mr. Lackland said he has spent half his career in small business funding and the other half in technology dating back to the dot com days. He has been a venture capitalist and the CFO of a public energy technology company.
