New funnel-focused resource combines practical templates with system-based guidance to reduce guesswork for creators, marketers, and small businesses

NY, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PassiveSecrets.com, a digital platform focused on sales funnels, automation, and system-driven online business models, today announced the launch of its 30+ Sales Funnel Templates, a structured template library designed to help entrepreneurs, creators, and marketers build marketing funnels faster without starting from scratch.

The new template collection provides pre-built frameworks for lead generation, webinar funnels, application funnels, and sales funnels, giving users a clear starting structure that can be adapted to their offers, audiences, and messaging.

According to founder Valentine Okoronkwo, the launch responds to a common challenge facing modern entrepreneurs: too many tools and too little clarity.

“Most people don’t struggle because they lack tools,” said Okoronkwo. “They struggle because they don’t have a clean starting point. Templates solve the blank-page problem. Then strategy helps you make the structure fit your offer and your audience.”

A Funnel-First Approach Built Around Momentum

The template library is designed around a straightforward idea: progress happens faster when builders start with proven frameworks and refine through execution. Rather than overwhelming users with complex training upfront, the experience emphasizes taking action first, then improving through iteration.

The templates are intended to serve multiple types of builders, including:
• New funnel creators looking for a clear starting structure
• Coaches and consultants launching lead, webinar, or application funnels
• Small business owners seeking simpler lead capture and follow-up systems
• Marketers and affiliates modeling proven page flows
• DIY entrepreneurs who want structure now and deeper learning later

Initial template formats support ClickFunnels imports, with additional sales-funnel-building software versions planned for release over time.

⸻

Built on Systems, Not Shortcuts

Founded in 2019, PassiveSecrets began as a personal documentation project created by Okoronkwo after navigating financial hardship and frustration with inconsistent online business advice. Over time, the platform evolved into a resource focused on funnel strategy, automation systems, and practical implementation.

“I didn’t start PassiveSecrets because I wanted to be an entrepreneur,” Okoronkwo said. “I started because I didn’t want to be trapped. What changed things for me wasn’t motivation. It was systems.”

This philosophy shapes the new template collection. Rather than focusing on isolated tactics or platform-specific tricks, the frameworks emphasize underlying funnel principles such as buyer journeys, offer progression, and conversion-focused structure.

“A sales funnel is not a page,” Okoronkwo added. “It’s a sequence. Funnels don’t replace thinking. They reward clarity.”

⸻

Supporting Builders Beyond Templates

While the launch centers on practical funnel templates, the broader goal is to help users move from planning to publishing more quickly. The templates are paired with educational resources that help entrepreneurs understand positioning, messaging, and funnel flow as they implement what they build.

PassiveSecrets continues to expand its ecosystem of funnel-focused resources, combining practical guides, software insights, and research-backed content aimed at helping users make informed decisions in a fast-changing digital landscape.

⸻

Availability

The 30+ Sales Funnel Templates are available now through the PassiveSecrets platform and accessible via the site’s members’ area after signing up.

Tech Help Canada expands remote job discovery and launches a free ATS-friendly resume builder to help job seekers move from notes to a strong first draft.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Tech Help Canada today announced the launch of a free, ATS-friendly Resume Builder and an expanded remote job discovery experience, helping job seekers find remote opportunities and turn rough notes into a credible first draft. While Tech Help Canada primarily serves entrepreneurs and small business owners, the platform recognizes that many people start their business journey while still employed, and remote work can provide the flexibility to build without burning out.

Remote work is in demand, but it’s harder to separate legitimate remote roles from noise, and even strong candidates can get buried in high-volume applicant pools. The expanded job discovery experience focuses primarily on remote and remote-friendly opportunities, while occasionally featuring select in-office roles when they stand out as high-value opportunities.

Listings span categories including information technology, programming, software development, cybersecurity, marketing, copywriting, search engine optimization, and UX/UI design. Job seekers can browse listings by keyword, location, and category to find matches faster, with remote-first browsing as the default.

The ATS-friendly Resume Builder is designed to create a strong first draft quickly or polish an existing resume. Users can paste a current resume as-is, or add work history and rough notes (even messy notes) and specify a target role. Optionally, they can include a job posting to help the draft align language more naturally to the role while keeping the resume readable.

The Resume Builder tool includes placeholders such as [ADD METRIC] and [ADD DETAILS] to encourage specific, truthful proof points rather than vague claims. Users can use it without creating an account, and the final output can be copied into a document for saving or export as a PDF.

“Job searching can feel like shouting into the void,” said Gabriel Nwatarali, Founder of Tech Help Canada. “So we built a simple job board and paired it with a Resume Builder because, for a lot of people, the resume becomes the bottleneck between being qualified and getting seen. You can be a great fit for a role, but if your resume doesn’t communicate that clearly, you get filtered out early.”

LinkedIn’s Economic Graph reports that remote job availability has declined faster than job seeker demand in recent years, and that more than 1 in 5 job seekers in the United States apply exclusively to remote jobs (Source: LinkedIn Economic Graph, “The Remote Work Gap”). In Canada, remote-only applicants peaked at 16.4% while remote jobs peaked at 21.2%, with 2024 averages below peak levels. The report’s broader conclusion is that demand for remote work has been steadier than the supply of remote opportunities in recent years.

Competition can also be intense even when candidates are qualified. CareerPlug’s recruiting metrics analysis of 2024 hiring activity reports that employers received an average of 180 applicants per hire, and that job boards generated about 60% of applications in their dataset. In that environment, getting traction often comes down to how clearly a resume communicates fit, proof, and outcomes (Source: CareerPlug, Recruiting Metrics Report, 2025; 2024 hiring data).

“With the Resume Builder, we deliberately push people toward specificity,” Nwatarali added. “If you did the work, you should get credit for it. A polished, ATS-friendly structure plus one or two real metrics can change how your resume reads in seconds.”

The expanded job discovery hub and Resume Builder are now live on Tech Help Canada at techhelp.ca/jobs/ and techhelp.ca/resume-builder/

Developers Can Now Search, Analyze, and Secure PHP Dependencies with AI-Powered Supply Chain Protection

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Socket today announced full support for the PHP ecosystem, adding Composer and Packagist integration to its software supply chain security platform. PHP developers can now search and explore packages, generate Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) from Composer projects, and detect supply chain risks across their PHP dependencies.

PHP remains the dominant server-side language on the web, powering roughly 75% of all websites with a known server-side language. From WordPress and Laravel to Drupal and Magento, PHP underpins a vast portion of the modern internet. Packagist, the primary repository for Composer, hosts more than 440,000 packages and over 5 million versions, with more than 169 billion package installations served since 2012. Composer downloads exceed 2 billion packages per month.

The scale and openness that make the PHP ecosystem powerful also introduce supply chain considerations.

Composer enforces important boundaries around dependency execution, but its plugin model and flexible packaging system mean that installing third-party packages inherently extends application attack surfaces. In addition, most Packagist packages are distributed as ZIP archives generated on demand from GitHub repositories, which makes stable artifact verification through checksums or signatures difficult. In large open registries, these characteristics can be abused in ways traditional vulnerability scanners are not designed to detect.

Nils Adermann, co-creator of Composer and co-founder of Private Packagist, shared this perspective on supply chain security in the PHP ecosystem:

“Supply chain attacks target the trust you place in your dependencies, not your own code. Composer and Packagist have built-in safeguards, but PHP application attack surfaces grow with every package and plugin. It would be careless to hope there won’t be more attacks on PHP packages, so I’m glad to see more focus on proactive security tooling in the PHP ecosystem.”

Socket’s platform goes beyond scanning for known CVEs. Its AI-powered analysis inspects package contents and behavior to detect zero-day threats, typosquatting, backdoors, obfuscated code, and other supply chain risks before they impact production systems.

With today’s release, PHP developers can:

• Search and explore any Composer package to view security scores and dependency insights
• Generate SBOMs from composer.lock or composer.json files
• Detect vulnerabilities matched against GitHub Security Advisories, enriched with CISA KEV, CWE classifications, and EPSS exploit probability scores
• Analyze install-time and runtime behavior, including plugin definitions and autoload entry points
• Monitor new and updated packages published to Packagist

Socket supports both lockfile-based and manifest-only workflows. When a composer.lock file is present, it is treated as the source of truth for exact dependency versions. In projects without lockfiles, Socket resolves version constraints against Packagist to provide high-level dependency visibility.

PHP support is rolling out in phases. Package search and browsing are available immediately. SBOM generation, security scanning, and full supply chain protection are currently in experimental release and will roll out broadly in the coming weeks.

PHP support expands Socket’s mission to proactively secure open source ecosystems at scale. Future enhancements include AI-generated package summaries, version diff analysis, and enhanced Composer workspace and monorepo support.

Planned integration will combine pitch velocity, exit velocity, and advanced pitch and hit tracking within live baseball games.

CARMEL, IN, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Carmel, Indiana and Lenexa, Kansas — PlayMaker and TAG Sports & Outdoor today announced joint plans to integrate TAG Sports’ TAG One sports radar technology into the PlayMaker platform, bringing pitch velocity and exit velocity into PlayMaker’s scoring, streaming, and advanced pitch and hit tracking.

The planned integration is designed to move beyond surface-level metrics. By combining TAG One’s live radar data with PlayMaker’s scoring, video, and analytics capabilities, the two companies aim to give coaches, players, families, and recruiters a deeper, more accurate understanding of in-game performance over time.

Unlike traditional platforms that treat velocity as a standalone number, the PlayMaker–TAG integration will place velocity inside the context of real games. Velocity data will be captured alongside pitch and hit outcomes, at-bat results, and player matchups. The stats will be displayed directly within the play-by-play feed—allowing performance to be evaluated within real game situations by preserving both outcomes and the context behind them.

The integration is being built to support additional hitter-centric metrics over time, including bat speed, further expanding the value of in-game performance data.

“This partnership is about making velocity meaningful,” said Ryan Basham, a representative of PlayMaker and a former professional baseball player and coach. “Velocity means something very different when it’s tied to real at-bats, real situations, and real competition. That’s when it becomes useful.”

TAG Sports & Outdoors built its radar technology to be accurate, portable, and easy to deploy in live baseball environments—making it a strong fit for PlayMaker’s live game scoring and streaming platform.

“TAG Sports is focused on making performance data more actionable and contextually relevant,” said Jarrod Nichols, Managing Director of TAG Sports. “PlayMaker provides a powerful platform for connecting in-game events with measurable outcomes, and integrating TAG One’s pitch and exit velocity data directly into that environment creates meaningful value for coaches, athletes, and evaluators. As we expand into additional metrics such as bat speed, this partnership supports a more complete performance dataset, one that better reflects how speed, mechanics, and decision-making translate during live competition.”

Once available, the integration is expected to:

* Display pitch velocity and exit velocity within PlayMaker live streams
* Feed velocity data into PlayMaker’s advanced pitch and hit tracking features
* Help coaches identify strengths, weaknesses, and matchup trends
* Allow players to build a consistent in-game performance record over time

For coaches, this approach is intended to provide a clearer picture of what is actually happening beyond traditional statistics, supporting better lineup decisions, pitcher usage, and player development.

From a recruiting standpoint, live game velocity data offers a more trustworthy alternative to isolated showcase measurements, giving recruiters a clearer view of a player’s true ability under real competition.

The integration is currently in development, with rollout timing to be announced by both companies.

A growing number of PE funds can’t raise another fund and can’t get out of the deals they’ve already made.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Forbes has published a piece calling out “zombie” private equity firms. The simple version is this: a growing number of funds can’t raise another fund and can’t get out of the deals they’ve already made. So they sit on portfolios for longer, investors get impatient, and everyone becomes more cautious.

That matters because when exits slow down, deal terms get tougher. Buyers still buy, but they stop taking leaps of faith. They want proof, and they want clean numbers. And when they do not get it, they protect themselves with price and structure.

“People keep saying the market is quiet,” said Luke Tobin, Founder of Succeed, a UK based M&A advisory firm. “It’s not quiet. It’s picky. And if your business only works because you’re the one holding it together, a buyer will see that straight away, and they’ll pay you less for it.”

In the wider market, the backlog is real. Reports have put the number of unsold private equity-backed companies at around 30,000, with capital remaining in those businesses longer than planned. That’s one of the reasons investors have been pushing harder for cash back, and why fundraising has become more selective.

What agency founders should expect to see more of in 2026;
Succeed expects three things to show up more often in agency deals this year:
Harder questions on recurring revenue. What’s contracted, what’s sticky, and who actually owns key relationships.

Less tolerance for messy margin stories. If your numbers are hard to follow, buyers assume there’s a reason.

More strings attached when trust is low. More earn-outs, more conditions, and longer diligence.

“The playbook is pretty boring,” Luke added. “Make it easy to trust the numbers. Make it obvious that the team can sell and deliver without you. Then you get better offers, and the deal is cleaner.”
