Mitgo Ventures Launches Publisher Investment Program

Published

on

By

NECKARSULM, Germany, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mitgo Ventures isn’t a bank. It isn’t a generic VC fund that discovered “affiliate marketing” last year. It’s the investment arm of the same Mitgo Group that built one of the leading global partner networks, Admitad. Through the Publisher Investment Program publishers can get direct access to the people who built a $300M+ annual revenue affiliate business.

Mitgo’s mentors have a unique expertise in performance field:

20 years in performance marketing400+ business ideas tested30+ businesses still running40+ startups built from scratch25+ venture deals closed5 acquisitions

These are the people who will be looking at publisher’s business — and they’ve seen every version of it before. Not a course, not a playbook, not a Notion doc. Real conversations with founders who’ve made the same mistakes a publisher is about to make — and figured out how to avoid them.

The Mitgo ecosystem opens up to every participant of the Pubisher Investment Program. Investors, advertisers, portfolio companies — new clients and partners start appearing swiftly. These are connections that take most publishers years to build, if ever.

Requirements are simple. A publisher needs to be working on (or open to) the CPA model, operating in the US, Europe, MENA, LatAm, or APAC, and generating at least $1,000/month consistently over the last three months. Cashback site, coupon platform, deal aggregator, content publisher — if a business earns real affiliate revenue, it’s likely exactly who Mitgo is looking for.

The publisher starts with the application — it takes one minute to fill. Then the applicant has a conversation with an investment manager, no pitch deck required. Then negotiate the terms and sign the deal.

When the deal closes, Mitgo makes noise about it. Publisher’s name reaches investors and advertisers who are actively looking for similar publishers. That kind of visibility is usually not for sale. And through all of it — Mitgo’s founders and top management are personally in the publisher’s corner.

Chandigarh University Uttar Pradesh Advanced Credit Program Gains Strong Response with 1,856 Industry Certifications in One Year

Published

Top Companies like Intel, AWS Academy, EC-Council, SAS, Altium, Tally, The Australia Today, LifeSenz Offers certifications

LUCKNOW, India, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chandigarh University Uttar Pradesh is redefining how students prepare for the future by turning learning into measurable industry value. With its Advanced Credit Program delivering 1,856 industry certifications in just one academic year, CU UP is proving that a degree can be far more powerful when it is backed by globally relevant skills, flexible credit pathways and direct industry alignment.

The initiative reflects a clear shift in higher education, where students are no longer expected to rely only on classroom learning. Instead, they are being prepared with practical, career-oriented capabilities that match the needs of modern industry. Chandigarh University’s Advanced Credit Program has been designed to give students access to globally recognized certifications and job-ready skills even before they formally begin their degree journey.

The Advanced Credit Program allows students to earn credit points through certified learning, which can later be used within their academic progression. These credits can be transferred when students move from one course to another or from one stream to another, making the program especially useful for flexible and interdisciplinary learning.

The system also supports students who may need to pause their studies for any reason and later return to complete another course. Their previously earned credits can still be used, reducing duplication of learning and saving both time and effort. This makes the model useful for multiple entry and exit pathways, which are becoming increasingly important in modern higher education.

For students who want to explore new directions, the program offers additional value. A learner who studies science at the undergraduate level can later move toward data science or management at the postgraduate level, while still benefiting from previously earned credits. In this way, the ACP helps students understand industry expectations early and begin preparing for placements well in advance.

For the 2026–27 session, Chandigarh University has expanded the program with 60 industry-oriented courses across different clusters. These include subjects in AI, robotics, machine learning, cloud computing, taxation, fintech, smart cities, cancer biology, digital communication and critical thinking.

The engineering cluster offers the largest share with 23 courses, covering areas such as artificial intelligence, IoT, robotics and cloud computing. The management cluster includes 15 courses, such as airline operations, business analytics and personal branding. The liberal arts cluster offers 6 creative and skill-building courses, including architectural design, journalism and visual storytelling.

There are also 8 common-to-all cluster courses for students from every stream, including communication skills, financial literacy and entrepreneurship. In addition, the university has introduced 5 interdisciplinary courses in the engineering and management category, 1 integrated course across engineering, management and science, and 2 focused programs in the sciences cluster, where bioinformatics and environmental sustainability are key areas.

Each course cluster has been designed in line with global industry requirements. A major advantage is that students can complete these courses online from home, allowing them to balance academic study with skill development in a convenient way.

The program is supported through collaborations with respected industry partners such as Intel, AWS Academy, EC-Council, SAS, Altium, Tally, The Australia Today, LifeSenz and others. These partnerships ensure that students learn in line with current industry standards and are exposed to content that is both relevant and practical.

The certification-based model helps students gain verified skills while continuing their degree studies. That balance between formal education and industry learning is one of the strongest features of the program. It gives students the flexibility to build their profiles in a structured manner, without waiting until the final years of college to become career ready.

The first-year response of 1,856 certifications shows that students have embraced the initiative with enthusiasm. It also reflects the growing demand for education models that support both academic achievement and professional growth.

CU UP Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Thipendra P. Singh said, “the Chandigarh University  was delighted with the strong response to the Advanced Credit Program. In the past year, students completed 1,856 industry certifications, which shows that today’s learners are ready to strengthen their degree with industry-required skills.

Singh further added, “Chandigarh University’s focus has always been to make students industry-ready from the beginning. Through ACP, students have gained access to learning in future-oriented fields such as AI, machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud computing and data science, which has strengthened both their skills and confidence.

The success of the Advanced Credit Program demonstrates how Chandigarh University is building an education model that goes beyond traditional teaching. By enabling students to earn certifications, build flexible credit pathways and access industry-aligned content early, the university is helping shape a more practical and employability-focused academic journey.

As the program returns for the 2026–27 batch, it is expected to continue supporting students who want to learn beyond the classroom and prepare themselves for the demands of a rapidly changing global job market. For Chandigarh University Uttar Pradesh, the ACP is not just an add-on; it is a strategic step toward creating a generation of skilled, confident and industry-ready graduates.

We will analyze and respond to the statement of grounds and trust the Commission will reconsider its position.

Temu also categorically denies having received any foreign subsidies that distort the internal market. Temu is committed to fair competition. The Company generates sustained cash flows from its own operating activities that are sufficient to fund Temu’s operations in the EU.
