An accredited investor is someone who has $1,000,000 of net assets or $300,000 in earnings each of the last two years. If you are not an accredited investor please disregard this page and refer to Univenture.com for information relating to the company. We are not taking any investment from non-accredited investors.

What are feeds? I see "RSS", "XML", and "Atom" out there, but I don't know how I might use these links when I find them.

Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into "widgets," "gadgets," mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere.

Why is This a Good Thing?

Subscribing to feeds makes it possible to review a large amount of online content in a very short time. Feeds permit instant distribution of content and the ability to make it "subscribable." Advertising in feeds overcomes many of the shortcomings that traditional marketing channels encounter including spam filters, delayed distribution, search engine rankings, and general inbox noise.

How do I read feeds?

If you want to browse and subscribe to feeds, you have many choices. Today, there are more than 2,000 different feed reading applications, also known as "news aggregators" (for text, mostly) or "podcatchers" (for podcasts). There are even readers that work exclusively on mobile devices. Some require a small purchase price but are tops for ease-of-use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the feed "universe" right away. Free readers are available as well; a search for "Feed reader" or "Feed aggregator" at popular search sites will yield many results. A handful of popular feed readers are listed at the bottom of this page. A typical interface for a feed reader will display your feeds and the number of new (unread) entries within each of those feeds. You can also organize your feeds into categories and even clip and save your favorite entries (with certain applications). If you prefer, you can use an online, web-based service to track and manage feeds. Online services give you the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you can find a web browser. Also, upgrades and new features are added automatically.

Our Story

Ross O. Youngs founded Univenture on the ideals of inventing and manufacturing more environmentally friendly packaging solutions for corporate customers in the US and abroad. In 1988, we began with our original Safety-sleeve® disc package which significantly reduced the amount of material required to package and distribute discs while at the same time protecting the discs for longer use and re-use. The entire line of polypropylene U-1000 disc sleeve products from Univenture is made from significantly cleaner technologies that are easily curbside recyclable worldwide.

Our patented UniKeep™ products revolutionized the concept of loose-leaf organization with durable, protective storage in archival cases that could be manufactured using only clean technologies and a single environmentally friendly material. UniKeep™ binders and wallets are manufactured with no metal rings or PVC and require as much as 30% fewer resources than products made from other mixed materials.

We believe plastics technology is continually evolving, and in an effort to stay in the forefront of new and improved technologies, Univenture has recently launched our newest initiative AlgaeVenture Systems LLC, a Univenture Inc. company. We are seeking to provide the missing link to commercialize a strong algae industry with our unique manufacturing technologies, engineering and logistics experience, and history of successful product development. These factors position us among the very few who are able to successfully commercialize algae production systems rapidly. Over thirty years of historical government research, along with contemporary research and technological development, point to the viability of algae as an extremely prolific source of both oil and feedstock with the ability to feed virtually every aspect of the current petroleum-product industry as well as the evolving bio-diesel industry.

We are quickly developing a Rapid Algae Farming (RAF) System, which will serve as the platform for the creation of numerous products from algae, specifically biofuels and bioplastics. The RAF System is a fully automated network of enclosed photo-bioreactors that efficiently grows and processes algae. The design is fully adaptable, giving it the capability to utilize virtually any species of algae.
