  <private>&lt;p&gt;Here are the activation details;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lightserve&lt;/strong&gt; - For the discount on valuation services, email &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #500050; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a style="color: #2a5db0;" href="mailto:appraisals@lightserve.com" target="_blank"&gt;appraisals@lightserve.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and include the phrase "TheFunded Founder Institute" in your email subject. For the 3 free months of Virtual Data Room software, visit &lt;a href="https://lightserve.com/about/institute_vdr"&gt;https://lightserve.com/about/institute_vdr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;nResult &lt;/strong&gt;- To access this discount, email &lt;a title="keith.meyer@nresult.com " href="mailto: keith.meyer@nresult.com " target="_blank"&gt;keith.meyer@nresult.com &lt;/a&gt;(and copy me -&lt;a title="jonathan@thefunded.com" href="mailto: jonathan@thefunded.com" target="_blank"&gt; jonathan@thefunded.com&lt;/a&gt;) and include the words "TheFunded Founder Institute" in your email subject.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I mentioned in the email, the nResult testing discounts will vary based on project.&amp;nbsp; Below are the guidelines;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On a typical 5 day test, Founders will receive 2-3 days for free.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For on-demand type projects the hourly rate will be reduced to ~$60/hr.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Some short functionality/load testing projects (1-2 days) can be offered at 50% off. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They are also offering a free consultation for any testing service, test plan creation, best practices or techniques, or anything test related. Typically this cost is built into a project with a client, but we will receive this service for free.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</private>
  <public>&lt;p&gt;The title of the post says it all...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
