Because bachelor parties and bachelorette parties are a massive industry, it stands to reason that PEOPLE GO ONLINE LOOKING FOR STRIPPER RENTAL SERVICES FOR THEIR VARIOUS SOCIAL EVENTS. It's a big business. Our friends at Midwest Striptease Stripper Rental Service do an awesome job of providing a safe work environment as well as doing world-class entertainment regardless of the event. They are a nationwide talent agency with dancers both male and female available for private parties in various cities across the USA including Hilton Head, Isle of Palms, and strippers in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach just ready to party. The entire process is made very simple and we look forward to working with Midwest for a long time.

We were recently contacted by a world-class software venture capital investment fund here in midtown Dallas called Blossom Street Ventures. They have an amazing software investment blog that routinely spits out great content almost daily, like this one about the state of software venture capital in 2023. We were a little in the dark on how all this worked since this is not a typical company we work with, and they were nice enough to clarify in their own words:

What Is Venture Capital (VC)?

Venture capital investing is a form of private funding and a style of financing that VCs issue to startup companies and small growing brands that are perceived to have long-term growth potential. Venture capital generally comes from the rich, investment banks, and any other financial companies. There are other exceptions to this rule but this is fairly standard.

Keep in mind that VC does not always take a monetary form; it can also be provided in the form of technical or high-level expertise. Venture capital is typically allocated to small companies with tremendous growth potential, or to companies that have grown quickly and appear poised to continue to expand.

Though it can be risky for VCs who put up money for such early stage projects, the potential for above-average returns is an attractive payoff and worth the risk. Most investments fail.  For new companies or ventures that have a limited operating history (under two years), venture capital is becoming a needed—even essential—source for drumming up money, especially if they lack access to sophisticated markets, bank loans, or other debt devices. The main risk in all of this is that the investors usually get equity in the company, and, thus, a say in company decisions. Not always ideal.

KEY NOTES TO CONSIDER

• Venture capital financing is funding provided to companies and business mavens. It can be provided at different cycles of their evolution, although it often involves early and seed round funding.
• Venture capital funds manage pooled growth in high-risk opportunities in young companies and other early-stage firms and are mostly only open to high level investors.
• Venture capital has evolved from a small activity at the end of the Second World War into a booming and highly sophisticated industry with multiple players that play an important role in driving innovation.

The fine folks at Rusted Rail RV Park in Kaufman are needing some increased Maps visibility and we want to help them out. They are an awesome, super clean RV park located in Kaufman TX and for some reason the big G isn't giving them any love when people with RVs are looking for a place to camp for the night. What the heck. Anyway maybe this will help. Below is their contact info and directions to their campground. I spent a weekend there and had an absolute blast.  10/10 would absolutely do it again the next time I am in Kaufman doing some RVing. Rates are currently $45 per night, $225 weekly and $550 per month. Now that is a screaming deal.

We were recently contacted by a group of pool builders in Houston who are looking to target high-end homes / backyards and new construction. Here's a bit about them straight from the owner himself:

Swimming pool designs in a full array of styles for Houston residents
Platinum Pools offices in Houston specialize in building high-end pools & spas for clients. In addition, we are proud to offer major pool renovations & upgrades for homeowners.

Starting with simple projects and moving up to complex masterpieces, you can choose any pool shape, size, deep end, and layout. All kinds of styles—rustic/organic, tropical, traditional/classical, sleek/contemporary—are on the table. You also have a full spectrum of decorative and functional features including water gardens.

Regardless of the kind of pool features you want installed—including ones you may have never seen or heard of—Platinum designers can tailor a new pool with an array of attractive elements to create an amazing, easy-to-maintain pool & spa. And of course, your pool designer will always work on a plan that keeps your final costs in mind. We are currently offering specials in the 77005 zip code!

Local pool design and construction knowledge is key
When we meet, we will develop a detailed pool plan made for your backyard, family demands, aesthetic preferences, and project ideas. He or she will also provide you with a complete, thorough contract that explains in detail the pool project phases and outlines your payment schedules.

Peace of mind comes from our professionalism. You will receive dedicated help and support from an experienced local team with expertise in local conditions and proven pool-construction concepts.

We are required to carry full insurance with coverage for car, general liability, workers compensation, as well as property. In states where it is required by law, each operation is properly licensed and bonded. Offices also provide all new-pool clients with pool and equipment warranty terms in writing.

We were recently contacted by our friend Mike at Plano Chimney Sweep. Mike's background is in sheet metal but he makes a lot of the chimney caps you see on homes in DFW and then sells them to chimney sweeps across North Texas. Anyway, Mike got the itch to try his hand at running a chimney service and we were happy to assist him.

This isn't our first foray into this industry. Years ago we worked with a different, highly successful chimney sweep and wildlife removal company / website that was recently bought up by Mike. Small world. Anyway, Mike has a great business plan and seems highly motivated to take over the Dallas Fort Worth market. If his sheet metal business is any indication, he's on the right track.

To stay busy in the summers, Plano Chimney Sweep also offers wild animal removal from attics, chimney and walls. This includes the usual critters such as squirrels, raccoons, bats, rats and mice. We'll leave the wild animal wrangling to Mike and worry about keeping his websites looking nice!

For more info, check them out at the above links. They have two locations to serve you and are available 24/7 in most cases. This may change during the winter when things get pretty busy. Be sure to book ahead to secure your cleaning.

We typically work with clients and small businesses in the DFW but we are always willing to making an exception for a referral out of state! In this case, the out-of-state company is Koory Motor Sales up in Omaha Nebraska. A full service car repair bay that handles foreign and domestic car troubles with ease, Koory Motors has achieved a sterling reputation over the past several decades. That's right - decades!

​Koory Motors is a third-generation business that is currently run by Don, the grandson of the original founder and owner. With a lineage of great products and services in place, and a team of professional mechanics, it's not hard to see why Koory Motor Sales has been going strong since before anyone reading this was even born!

We recently handled a web design for Don and look forward to working with them for years to come.

Talk about perfect timing. Our latest client, as July rears its ugly head, is our friend Ken at Repair Masters Heat and Air, LLC out of the Fort Worth area. Ken already runs a sprinkler repair company and has now expanded into the heating and cool repair business year-round. The same coverage area (Tarrant County) still applies.

Repair Masters Heat and Air, LLC offers emergency and same-day system repair services 24 hours a day in most cases. Obviously this can change during peak months when calls are through the roof, but odds are good that the offer will be honored. 

While summer is clearly the busiest month (in this highly competitive industry), heating problems can also plague homes in North DFW during winter months. No matter what your needs are, give Repair Masters Heat and Air a call today to talk directly with the owner. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.

The team over at DFW Marble Suppliers has made a living making your kitchen and bathroom look better. How? Amazing imported marble countertops and flooring. They also handle custom cabinetry and furniture design.

But their bread and butter is their namesake. If you need a company that specializes in stone of any kind, look no further. They've been in the area for over a decade and have handled top redesigns in areas like Lakewood and the Turtle Creek area.

Even if it's just a minor repair, don't settle for anything less than the best. We vetted their owner and were extremely impressed with his commitment to his craft. Give them a look - you won't be disappointed. We look forward to assisting them for years to come.
