Servabo Shadow

CHAMPAIGN, ILL. – FEBRUARY 3, 2015 – Today, Shadow (http://www.safewithshadow.com/), a personal security device, launches on Crowdfunding platform, Indiegogo for pre-order. The Shadow is a Bluetooth enabled panic button that works through the Shadow app to provide instant emergency notifications to your personalized network with the press of a button.  These notifications are appended with your location at the time of the alert.

“We wanted to create a simple device that would make anyone feel safe,” says Nishana Ismail, co-founder of Servabo. “I myself have felt threatened and have had many friends in unsafe situations, where making a phone call isn’t possible. Having the Shadow at your fingertips you just need to push the button and a custom alert will be sent for you automatically. We want people to have peace of mind in their everyday situations.”

Features of The Shadow include:

·         Easy-to-use Shadow App – The free Shadow App allows you set your preferences and messages for your device.

·         Multiple messaging triggers– You can indicate two levels of urgency, a single button press sends out low severity alerts while a press and hold triggers high severity notification.

·         Set custom alerts– You and your family can set custom alerts that will alert as many people as you would like through the app.

·         Multiple form factors– Wear it on your keychain, as a clip-on, on your wrist; The Shadow has many available accessories to make it easy for your lifestyle.

·         Tactile indicator - Has a vibrating motor to provide feedback when an alert is sent.

·         Location alerts – Using your phone’s GPS, Shadow sends your location whenever you trigger an alert.

The Shadow is an essential basic emergency device that everyone should carry. There are no subscriptions or monthly fees. The Shadow’s pre-order price starts at $25. You can see more information about the Shadow on Indiegogo here.

Servabo supports non-profit organizations that promote safety and security for the community and will be partnering with YWCA Evanston, the Ella Mae Foundation (started by Beverly Gooden) and RAINN as charity partners during the campaign.

The Shadow App will be compatible with Android 4.3, iOS 5, and later versions of these operating systems and will be compatible with any smartphone that is Bluetooth smart ready.

About Servabo

Having personal connections victimized and hearing their stories of helplessness, Tim and Nishana became frustrated with the lack of resources people have today in a time of distress. The Servabo team realized that most people become defenseless when their phones are taken away, and wanted to remedy that situation. Out of this came the Shadow, a convenient, affordable safety device to notify someone in a distressful situation. Servabo is based at the EnterpriseWorks incubator at the University of Illinois Research Park. 

Third Rock Ventures Invests $45 Million in Revolution Medicines

Revolution Medicines is currently located in the EnterpriseWorks incubator at the University of Illinois Research Park. 

San Francisco/Redwood City, Calif.  February 4, 2015 – Third Rock Ventures, LLC today announced the formation of REVOLUTION Medicines, Inc. with a $45 million Series A financing to discover and develop new therapies derived from natural products. REVOLUTION Medicines’ innovative approach reconfigures these complex chemicals of life into best-in-class medicines. Veteran industry leader Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., is the founding president and chief executive officer of REVOLUTION Medicines. Dr. Goldsmith brings to the company more than 25 years of experience as an academic scientist and senior executive in the biotechnology industry, and is a partner at Third Rock Ventures.

REVOLUTION Medicines builds upon the vision of the company’s founder and scientific advisory board chairman, Martin D. Burke, M.D., Ph.D., professor of chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Early Career Scientist of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Burke invented a transformative method for synthesizing original compounds that are pharmaceutically optimized analogues of complex natural products. The company has entered into an exclusive license agreement with the University of Illinois to practice and expand this technology, and is pursuing a rapid clinical development path with its lead antifungal program that originated in Dr. Burke’s laboratory.

“With this major advance in chemical synthesis, we now have the opportunity to unlock the full medical benefits of natural products that have been selected through a billion years of evolutionary pressure,” said Dr. Goldsmith. “Marty is a remarkably inventive chemical biologist, and REVOLUTION Medicines is working closely with him in his role as scientific advisory board chairman to exploit his breakthroughs for industrial-scale drug discovery through redesigning complex molecules. Our strategy should produce high-impact treatments for serious infections and non-infectious diseases, among them our lead product candidates for patients with life-threatening fungal infections.”

The arduous process of synthesizing natural products often requires years of trial and error to reconstruct a single chemical scaffold. In contrast, REVOLUTION Medicines’ approach is a rapid, standardized and powerful process for assembling simple “chemical building blocks” into refined natural product-like structures. These optimized compounds have significant potential as best-in-class drug candidates.

REVOLUTION Medicines’ first drug candidates exploit and improve upon the properties of amphotericin B, a powerful, broad-spectrum antifungal compound found in nature that has avoided generating significant drug resistance in 50 years of clinical use. Full therapeutic benefit from this highly efficacious natural compound is significantly compromised by inherent dose-limiting side effects, principally kidney damage. Using the building block synthesis platform to create new molecules, Dr. Burke and his research group overturned decades of scientific dogma and demonstrated that the antifungal efficacy of the amphotericin B scaffold can be separated chemically from the major mechanism that underlies human kidney cell damage. REVOLUTION Medicines is developing novel compounds that leverage the proven therapeutic mechanism for killing fungi while minimizing toxic effects on human cells.

“Professor Burke and his group have demonstrated the power of research at our school to uncover methods and drug candidates that can be enormously impactful on human health,” said Phyllis Wise, Ph.D., chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “As one of the nation’s original land-grant institutions, our mission at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is to serve the public good through learning, discovery and outreach. Third Rock Ventures has launched REVOLUTION Medicines to translate these discoveries into important human benefits.”

REVOLUTION Medicines Team

The REVOLUTION Medicines team brings deep expertise and a track record of building exceptional life sciences companies. In addition to Dr. Goldsmith, founding president and chief executive officer and Dr. Burke, founder and scientific advisory board chairman, the team includes: David Pompliano, Ph.D., founding chief scientific officer, who is a leading drug discovery and development expert who previously led infectious disease research at Merck and GlaxoSmithKline; Peg Horn, J.D., general counsel and senior vice president, corporate development, a seasoned corporate executive with extensive experience in small and large companies; Neil Exter, interim chief business officer, a member of REVOLUTION Medicine’s board of directors and partner at Third Rock Ventures, who brings more than 20 years of experience leading business development and strategy, including service as chief business officer of bluebird bio (NASDAQ: BLUE) and Foundation Medicine (NASDAQ: FMI); and Alexis Borisy, a member of REVOLUTION Medicines board of directors, partner at Third Rock Ventures, and entrepreneur and chemical biologist who brings more than 20 years of experience launching and operating innovative science-based organizations, including Blueprint Medicines, Warp Drive Bio, Foundation Medicine and CombinatoRx.

Description: 

The enterprise network is evolving. There are more applications in more places than ever before. Trends in cloud services, hybrid networks, and broad globalization are increasing the complexity of network management. Network operators need tools that help them understand what's happening in the network and provide actionable information so they can ensure the best possible experience for their end-users.

Riverbed's SteelHead appliance is also evolving. In addition to being the industry leading WAN Optimization Controller, SteelHead has a broad footprint in our customers' networks and a deep knowledge of network applications that make it an ideal platform for monitoring network performance. By continually measuring how end-users are experiencing the performance of the network SteelHead can provide insight into performance changes over time that, when combined with the centralized monitoring of SteelCentral, provides actionable information to network operators in real-time.

About this Position:

As a member of the SteelHead Performance Visibility team you'll work on bringing the vision of comprehensive network performance visibility into reality. Our team values owning our solutions top to bottom, so you'll have opportunities to work across the full stack including analyzing network protocols for end-user experience metrics, adding performance data collection to SteelHead's WAN optimization engine, designing RESTful APIs to publish performance data on SteelHead, building central data collection and analytics tooling with SteelCentral, and creating highly usable web interfaces to display aggregated performance statistics to the network operator.

What we're looking for:

To be a successful member of the team you'll need to be fearless in the face of new challenges; we're constantly tackling a wide variety of problems, but you won't hear us saying "I can't do that." You'll need to be passionate about providing a world-class user experience that makes it easy for our customers to make decisions based on the data we present.
