CubCrafters Inc. Aiming to Reduce Waiting Time, Improve Customer Service and Support, Amid Excellent Investor Reserve Response for Its Proposed Regulation A+ Offering

  • Washington-based CubCrafters designs and manufactures Experimental, LSA (Light Sport Aircraft), and Part 23 Certified aircraft
  • The company, which boasts a history of innovation, is an industry leader in backcountry aviation
  • Its leadership in the market has led to high demand for its airplanes, creating an order backlog and greater need for customer service
  • CubCrafters is looking to raise capital to improve its production and customer service through a Regulation A+ exemption from the SEC
  • The company aims to raise $50 million and has received excellent investor interest; in just under three weeks, it had received reservations that amounted to 25% of the target
Operating out of a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”)-certified design and manufacturing facility situated on the edge of McAllister Field Airport in Yakima, Washington, CubCrafters continues to change the landscape of backcountry aviation, something it has progressively done for more than 40 years. Founded in 1980 by Jim Richmond, the company has been modeled around a culture of innovation, which, coupled with the dedication and output of its now more than 200 highly skilled personnel, has propelled the company to be a leader in its market segment. This status is evidenced by several parameters, including CubCrafters’ average aircraft revenue per customer, which has grown from just over $5 million in 2001 to over $30 million in 2021, according to the company’s Regulation A+ presentation (https://ibn.fm/tfXiU). In fact, the company reported resilient sales as well as a growing market share in 2021 despite pandemic-related supply chain issues. As a further testament to this leadership, two CubCrafters aircraft are the recipients of only a handful of Part 23 Certificates that the FAA has issued over the last two decades. Moreover, CubCrafters has been among the very few companies to obtain a new type certificate – an approval that signifies compliance with requirements on airworthiness, design of the aircraft and all component parts, noise, exhaust emission standards, and more (https://ibn.fm/ftfrK) – in backcountry aviation since 1970. CubCrafter’s distinctiveness has led to demand for its aircraft, leading to the company being fully booked until 2024. In an interview with Stuart Smith on an episode of the Bell2Bell Podcast, CubCrafters Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brad Damm, however, emphasized the need for the company to reduce the “time it takes from when a customer places a deposit with us to when they get a new airplane. Optimally, that should be a year or less, [yet] right now, we are in excess of two years. So, continuing to improve our systems to be able to build airplanes faster to meet demand is our number one goal” (https://ibn.fm/maPrE). In addition to reducing the waiting time, CubCrafters aims to improve its customer service. “The company has grown so fast. We have put a tone of airplanes out in the field [but] our customer service and customer support have not grown as first as the rest of the company has. So, we are making investments there too – making parts and service more available, and getting more trained technicians out in the field,” Damm commented. One way the company aims to achieve these goals is by raising capital to expand its capacity through a Regulation A+ (“Reg A+”) exemption with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). CubCrafters is accepting investments through Manhattan Street Capital. (The investors who had reserved the stock in advance of the qualification have the first opportunity to purchase shares at the issue price, effectively converting their reservations to shares of common stock.) So far, and following the late July announcement of the intention to follow the Reg A+ route (https://ibn.fm/v21FA), CubCrafters has received excellent reserve response. According to Brad Damm, the reservations had exceeded 25% of the $50 million target in just over two weeks post-announcement; this figure represents over $12.5 million. Since then, the reservations have grown to more than $25 million, according to the company, and are on course to reach the target.

GeoSolar Technologies Inc. Capitalizes on US Households Rush to Solar

  • American households are set to install over 5.3 gigawatts of residential solar capacity in 2022
  • The move comes as US homeowners seek to decrease their sensitivity to rising utility costs and weather-related blackout events
  • Solar installation costs have come down by 60% over the past decade, with initial installation costs down by a further 30% due to federal tax credits
  • GeoSolar Technologies’ SmartGreen™ Home system allows households to shift towards renewable energy sources as a source of power, whilst simultaneously decreasing their utility expenses and carbon footprint
Driven by extreme weather and rising electricity costs, American households are on track to install a record number of solar panels this year, decreasing their sensitivity to rising utility costs. Over 5.3 gigawatts of residential solar power capacity are set to be installed in 2022, the single biggest year for new installations, as of the second quarter alone. Solar panel installations were up 40 percent year over year with upwards of 180,000 US homes opting to adding solar panels to their households. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar have seen their cost structures decline dramatically in recent years, arriving at cost parity with fossil-fuel powered energy sources in several global markets. The decline in renewable energy costs coupled with the recent, exponential rise in fossil fuel prices have led to a dramatic increase in renewable energy demand, a phenomenon which the likes of climate technology company GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), are seeking to capitalize on. Home electricity prices are forecast to rise 7.5 percent this year after climbing 4.3 percent last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) (https://ibn.fm/LJm0G). Meanwhile, the sensitivity of the US electric grid to extreme weather events – in September, Hurricane Ian knocked out power to 2.6 million customers across large swathes of Florida (https://ibn.fm/l6Zej), only days after Hurricane Fiona had caused blackouts in Puerto Rico – has also contributed towards a desire by US households seeking to secure their domestic energy supply. “You’re going to continue to see some pretty big increases in monopoly utility bills over the next few months and quarters and we’re seeing growth because of that,” said John Berger, chief executive of Texas-based Sunnova, one of the US’s largest rooftop solar installers. The increased demand for household solar supplies has coincided with a steep decline in solar installation costs. Whilst onerous initial installation costs were a major impediment for homeowners in the past, solar installation costs have now declined by over 60 percent over the past decade, making household solar power systems significantly more affordable. Moreover, the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act has raised the federal tax credit available for new installations to 30 per cent, or about $6,000 off the average system, further defraying initial start-up expenses for households. “An average-sized residential system has dropped from a pre-incentive price of $40,000 in 2010 to roughly $20,000 today, while recent utility-scale prices range from $16/MWh – $35/MWh, competitive with all other forms of generation,” the SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) explains online (https://ibn.fm/BQCFa). GeoSolar Technologies have sought to build upon the growing move towards solar energy adoption thorough a multi-pronged approach which looks to electrify homes using green energy sources. From solar panels on roofs through to geothermal heat pumps which take advantage of the warmth of the earth’s core and advanced CERV 2 air purification systems designed to manage indoor air quality in an efficient and intelligent manner, GeoSolar’s proprietary SmartGreen™ Home solution has been designed to dramatically increase the energy efficiency of a conventional household. Moreover, the technology voids the need for households to depend on conventional utilities or pay utility bills. In fact, a study carried out by the company found that a traditional utility-powered home would possess a carbon footprint of upwards of 8 metric tons of CO2/year whilst paying annual utility bills of $2,700; in contrast, a GeoSolar-powered home would result in a negligible carbon footprint whilst disbursing less than $100 per annum in utility bills (https://ibn.fm/1lsnc).

Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) Launches ‘Periscope’ Lidar-Based Sensory System Designed to Increase Pedestrian Safety

  • 70% of total fatalities in urban areas are vulnerable road users
  • As of 2000, a U.S.-based pedestrian was involved in a fatal accident every 81 minutes
  • In conjunction with its technological partners, Cepton has designed a lidar-based road sensor, directed to warn drivers about potential pedestrian activity around a corner 5 seconds before they would otherwise be visible
  • Despite its original intended use as an advanced motion-system tool, the use of lidar technology has far surpassed its original necessities
  • Today, lidar technology is being used within a wide array of initiatives and industries, ranging from security and safety solutions, smart railways, and traffic control systems in urban metropolises
During the 1970s and 1980s, roadways across the U.S. and western Europe grew safer as the adoption of seatbelts, airbags, and improved vehicle designs became ubiquitous. At the time, the United States could credibly claim to be a global leader in the field of automotive safety – its New Car Assessment Program (“NCAP”), launched in 1983, was the first rating system designed to inform and educate consumers about the crashworthiness of various car models. Today, such rankings have emerged as commonplace around the world. However, it is in another key aspect that the U.S. has failed to keep pace with the rest of the world. In 2021, as the U.S. hit a 16-year high for road fatalities; Japan and Norway posted the lowest number of road deaths since the 1940’s. That figure is perhaps most stark for pedestrian deaths. In the U.S., this inflated over 40% between 2010-2018, more than twice the pace of any other member country (most of which saw a decline) (https://ibn.fm/JTh5u). In fact, and as per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “a pedestrian was killed every 81 minutes and injured every 10 minutes in traffic crashes” in 2000. Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator of lidar-based solutions for automotive (AV/ADAS), smart cities, smart spaces and smart industrial applications, is working to change this. Together with ALP.Lab GmbH (“ALP.Lab”), an Austria-based technology provider of autonomous vehicle testing solutions, and TE Connectivity, a leader in sensors and connectors, Cepton has recently completed a revolutionary proof of concept project, testing an integrated system designed to warn drivers of unseen hazards ahead. Named “Periscope,” the project extends and expands a driver’s field of view by using lidar sensors mounted at road intersections to ‘look around the corner’, warning drivers of the presence of pedestrians approximately five seconds before they would have otherwise been visible. The technology, which seeks to combine Cepton’s intelligent 3D lidar perception with ALP.Lab’s expertise in system integration, testing and data analytics, and TE Connectivity’s vehicle-to-everything solution, will look to communicate additional information about road conditions in real time to the vehicle, thus providing both drivers and vehicles more time to react to potentially dangerous situations. “The results from ‘Periscope’ are impressive,” said Christoph Knauder at ALP.Lab (https://ibn.fm/MmLwM). “We tested a scenario where a pedestrian around a corner started to cross the road and thus stepped into the lane of the approaching test vehicle. The driver was able to be warned of the approaching pedestrian five seconds before the pedestrian became unblocked and appeared in his field of view. The high-resolution 3D sensing capabilities of Cepton lidars allowed us to generate smart analytics of the situation.” Dating back to its inception in 2016, Cepton has sought to market the concept of ‘Lidar for Life’, promoting the use of lidar technology beyond mass-market consumer vehicles and towards a broad array of applications such as the development of smart infrastructure in cities, spaces, and industrial robotics. In March 2022, Cepton teamed up with fibre-optics systems house, Fibre Based Integrations, to work together towards developing a lidar-based vehicle detection system in Cape Town, South Africa – an essential initiative designed to enable citywide smart transportation infrastructure. Effectively, the lidar-enabled systems would allow Cape Town’s technology department to gather accurate, real-time lane usage data, enabling analytics which could help identify ways to improve traffic flow and safety for motorists and pedestrians (https://ibn.fm/NcuUV). This field-of-view technology has rapidly established itself as a pervasive presence in today’s increasingly high-tech world. Complex surroundings and situations are now assisted by lidar in ways that improve the flow of transit, crowd management, and intrusion detection. Ranging from the company’s combined effort with Barrier1 Systems to improve safety among worksites and facilities (https://ibn.fm/ZX8St), to Cepton’s lidars in conjunction with Vortex IoT, actively inspecting road conditions and signaling hazards before they become a larger problem and cause accidents (https://ibn.fm/pqHMe). Boasting years of experience within lidar development as well as a significant edge in the technology’s deployment across a wide array of sectors and functionalities, Cepton looks remarkably well placed to continue to improve vehicular safety and promote lidar’s vital functionalities going forward.

Prime Harvest Inc. Positioned to Lead California’s Cannabis Market with Direct-to-Consumer Expansion

  • Prime Harvest is the parent company of Jaxx Cannabis, its D2C operations actively expanding throughout California
  • Prime Harvest’s brand partners strongly positioned across multiple segments of the cannabis value chain
  • Brand partners include Mary’s Medicinals, STIIIZY, Lime Cannabis, and Tonik

Revenue diversification is critical to sustainable growth in the cannabis industry, and it’s central to the strategy of Prime Harvest, a technology-focused, full-service cannabis corporation. With a strong portfolio of successful brand partners, Prime Harvest is strongly positioned to lead California’s sector through robust diversification across multiple segments of the cannabis value chain.

“Our approach is to create strong alliances with complementary brands that are in alignment with our culture and values,” reads the company website (https://ibn.fm/l1pDd). “Through our various platforms, we grow existing cannabis brands and continuously discover new high-potential performers that offer a long-term outlook for collective success.”

Prime Harvest is the parent company of Jaxx Cannabis – a retail brand currently expanding throughout the state of California. Jaxx’s strong performance enabled Prime Harvest to grow despite the post-pandemic economic downturn. “The key to such a strong foundation was building mutually sustainable relationships with our suppliers and brand partners while honing in on proving the best service and experience to our customers,” said Prime Harvest’s CMO Johann Balbuena.

Consumers are becoming more cognizant and increasingly aware of what they’re putting in, and on, their bodies. As an organization with long-term objectives, Prime Harvest aims to bring consumers high-quality products that are fair for people and the planet. Hence, the Jaxx Cannabis retail strategy is to support brands in the cannabis space that are tearing down boundaries and breaking new ground to make an overall positive impact.

Mary’s Medicinals, a long-term Prime Harvest brand partner focused on the medicinal space, offers high-quality cannabis-derived therapeutic products. STIIIZY – another Prime Harvest partner – develops an industry-standard pod system with a loyal following of dedicated users.

According to MJBizDaily, pre-roll sales jumped from $640.1 million in 2019 to $941.6 million in 2020 (a 47.1% increase) across several key markets. And while seasoned consumers and cannabis aficionados are becoming a larger segment of the pre-roll market, newer consumers will remain the bread and butter of the pre-roll industry as new markets continue to open. Prime Harvest’s partnership with Lime Cannabis Co. meets consumers’ need for ease and convenience of purchasing a ready-to-consume product by leveraging high quality and consistency. For users that prefer non-smoking cannabis administration, Prime Harvest partner and award-winning brand, Tonik, provides an edible alternative that allows customers to experience the benefits of cannabis in a drinkable format that not only tastes great but also delivers a consistent dose.

The company recently announced it was granted expansion rights for the sale of adult-use edibles – a move expected to drive sales even higher in 2022 (https://ibn.fm/Wpe6f). “We are excited to expand and participate in the adult-use market, and even more than excited to expand our menu to include cannabis infused edibles for both our current medical patients as well as the recreational consumer,” said Prime Harvest’s Founder and CEO Duane Alexander. “With the systems in place to drive our retail expansion, we are well on our way to execute on our strategically-designed plan for sustainable growth.”

Prime Harvest Inc. is a tech-focused cannabis company that diversifies its operations across the entire cannabis value chain with a focus on direct-to-consumer operations, licensing acquisition, and compliance management. The company continues to grow its footprint throughout California by investing in the growth and scale of licensed assets while staying committed to the ethical principles valued by its employees, management team, and growing base of dedicated customers and partners.

Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: ELO) (OTCQX: ELRRF) Carries Out Exploratory Drilling Work at Iska Iska Project; Receives Mention by Brent Cook as Showing ‘Great Potential’

  • Bolivia’s Potosi region has long been one of the world’s most prolific silver deposits, with continuous mining operations taking place over the past 500 years
  • Eloro Resources possesses a 99% option agreement on the Iska Iska deposit, a major polymetallic epithermal porphyry complex covering over 900 hectares of land
  • Eloro Resources was recently highlighted by renowned mining analyst, Brent Cook during his appearance on the Wall Street Silver podcast
  • Eloro’s Iska Iska project was characterized as a polymetallic mining project possessing great potential due to its size as well as the mining team’s technical nous
The discovery of Bolivia’s Potosi silver mine in 1545 was a matter of chance. Don Diego Gualpa, an Andean man recounted the tale to the Spanish viceroy taking charge of the region whilst on his deathbed; Gualpa detailed how, whilst hiking on the mountain in search of a religious monument rumoured to be in the area, he was bowled over by a powerful gust of wind. Upon rising, he noticed that the dirt on his hands was rich in ore. The discovery of the Potosi mine was not the first silver mine found in the Americas, however it was by far the most prolific. During its most active period, Potosi produced almost half of the silver in circulation globally and ultimately accounted for nearly 20 percent of all ‘the known silver produced in the world across 265 years’ (https://ibn.fm/TCAUK). Today’s the Cerro Rico de Potosi remains a world-class silver and tin reserve despite being mined nearly continuously since the sixteenth century and producing a reported 2.5 billion ounces of silver since work first began. Seeking to channel some of the success enjoyed by its illustrious neighbour, Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: ELO) (OTCQX: ELRRF) (FSE: P2QM), an exploration and mine development company with a portfolio of gold and base-metal properties in Bolivia, Peru and Quebec has emerged as one of the most promising mining companies in the Americas, boasting access to one of the largest, undeveloped mining tracts within Bolivia’s Potosi region. Having signed a definitive option agreement on Iska Iska to acquire a 99% interest in the project, Eloro plans to undertake an exploration and development projected designed to verify the feasibility of extracting minerals from the territory. Eloro Resources’ potential has been increasingly commented on by the market and most recently by renowned mining analyst, Brent Cook. A seasoned geologist and independent exploration analyst with over 30 years of experience working across 60 countries and identifying economically viable mining deposits, Cook’s Exploration Insights newsletter has emerged as an industry standard within the mining community. During a recent appearance on the Wall Street Silver podcast, Cook mentioned Eloro Resources as one of his top investment picks. As Cook described, the potential and likely size of Eloro’s Iska Iska polymetallic silver-tin mining project coupled with the company’s strong technical nous – lead geologist Quinton Hennigh boasts over 25 years of exploration experience across a wide array of mining companies – made it an appealing prospect for mining majors such as Pan American Silver Corp (NASDAQ: PAAS), a multi-billion dollar mining giant with operations in the project’s near vicinity (https://ibn.fm/squH9). Eloro Resources revealed that exploration drilling at its Iska Iska project showed widespread mineralization. The company said best results from assays on holes on its lands included DSB -30: 441.21 meters of 150.47 grade gramAgEquivalent/ton (gAGEq/t) and DSBU-10: 349.03 meters of 188.64 grade gAGEq/t. Furthermore, the company stated that it currently had four exploration holes with a combined length of 6,000 meters being drilled at Iska Iska, with work expected to be complete by mid-November, while assays are awaited for 14,213 meters of core from prior work. Following the completion of the upcoming exploratory works, Eloro plans to publish an NI 43-101 inferred resource report or MRE, providing the market with further scientific and technical information about the economic viability of its project (https://ibn.fm/TEtTP).

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – better known as COP27 – is taking place in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh amidst one of the most significant climate emergencies ever experienced by man. A growing energy crisis, record greenhouse gas (“GHG”) concentrations, and ever-increasing extreme weather events have significantly augmented the need for a coordinated, proactive global effort to combat global warming. The world has responded to a degree; 1,156 publicly listed companies, regions and cities have made net-zero pledges so far. Whilst promising on paper, several pledges have been a little more than vague commitments or proposals with scarce detail on how they will be implemented or tracked. In response, a United Nations advisory panel, led by Canada’s former environment minister Catherine McKenna, has called upon governments around the world to impose on companies to make serious net-zero emissions targets whilst simultaneously enforcing compliance, in an effort to ensure targets to slash emissions are adhered to (https://ibn.fm/m1xgH). In addition to the regulatory enforcement of net-zero targets, the UN panel offered recommendations on an array of other measures, including the phasing out of fossil fuels in conjunction with a fully funded shift to renewable energy sources, a change characterized as key towards the achievement of overarching climate goals. Ms. McKenna elaborated on the recommendation, “They [energy companies] have the means and the scale to be able to do big things on the renewables side, but they’re not even investing in these technologies.” British-Columbia based natural gas operator, EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF) may be one of the outliers within McKenna’s assessment. The company ranks amongst the leaders in driving the ongoing shift towards renewable energy resources within Canada, having firmly established themselves as one of the leading renewable natural gas (“RNG”) infrastructure platforms within the country. EverGen has done so via an operating model focused around acquiring, developing, owning and operating RNG projects in a bid to supply the North American gas grid with clean energy generated from organic waste. EverGen Infrastructure’s path to becoming one of Canada’s largest RNG platforms, owes its origins to the province of British Columbia’s decision in March 2017 to amend the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Regulation. The amendment, which sought to increase the production and use of renewable gas as well as green and waste hydrogen in British Columbia to simultaneously generate jobs and economic opportunities while reducing GHG emissions, has played a significant role in driving the sector’s growth prospects in recent years. FortisBC has since further reinforced the government ordinance, with the British Columbia-based utility recently revealing that it expects to more than triple its current RNG supply in the coming years. The utility has publicized their vision to have upwards of 75 percent of its total gas supply to be renewable or low carbon by 2050; in the interim, they expect to have 16 million gigajoules of RNG in its system, with contracts in place to procure a further 8 million gigajoules by 2025. Cumulatively, the utility’s RNG supply within the next three years will provide enough energy to meet the natural gas needs of approximately 267,000 homes within BC (https://ibn.fm/zaFDn). EverGen Infrastructure have looked to cater to the ever-increasing RNG demand from FortisBC and other utilities across the nation through the company’s publicly stated goal to own over 20 facilities dotted round the country within five years. Most recently this October, the company announced that the expansion plans for its recently acquired GrowTEC business were nearing completion, with the works adding a further 60,000 gigajoules of RNG to their existing production capacity, taking total production capacity within the operation to 140,000 gigajoules per annum (https://ibn.fm/okc6o). The project will further bolster to EverGen’s existing production capacity, with the latter currently standing at over 230 gigajoules per day of renewable natural gas – the equivalent of powering 100 British Columbia homes for a month.

Odyssey Health, Inc. (ODYY) Development of Neuropharmaceuticals for TBIs and CNS Maladies, Portends Competitiveness in Area of Unmet Medical Needs

  • A growing chorus of concerns about brain concussions resulting from athletic events is helping to propel new interest in developing pharmaceuticals to treat this “unmet medical need”
  • Concussion treatments have largely focused on simple rest, but medical product developer Odyssey Health Inc. is developing a potential treatment to reduce brain inflammation so needed therapy can get to the site of a brain injury
  • Odyssey is also developing solutions for other central nervous system troubles, such as the highly fatal childhood disease Niemann-Pick type C, and nerve gas exposure sickness
  • The neuropharmaceutical market is forecast to have a great deal of potential, with revenues expected to grow globally from $79.40 billion last year to $125.60 billion by 2029
Concussion head injuries are becoming more widely talked about among sports enthusiasts since two such head injuries in a week’s time required the Miami Dolphins’ quarterback to be carried off the field during a September game and to experience significant memory loss afterward (https://ibn.fm/AiVI6). Football season naturally lends itself to concerns about concussions, known as traumatic brain injuries or TBIs. During November, sports news outlets have discussed player losses suffered by the Dallas Cowboys (https://ibn.fm/9omhC), the Kansas City Chiefs (https://ibn.fm/oTyeX), the Los Angeles Rams (https://ibn.fm/7rr5W), the Detroit Lions (https://ibn.fm/twoPL) and the Minnesota Vikings (https://ibn.fm/ogVqu), but TBIs are also being reported in other sports and in youth leagues, as well as resulting from activities generally not regarded as impact-prone. A high school cheerleader in Texas experienced lasting effects after her third concussion in a year’s time, which led to her being treated for as many as 100 seizures a day, difficulties with balance and visual focusing (https://ibn.fm/KdVwn). Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY) is clinically testing a novel solution to the potentially devastating effects of TBIs after developing a breath-powered intranasal device that propels a synthetic drug into the nose, where it can be taken up into the brain. The drug sparks gene amplification of anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, and anti-edematous channels, according to the company, inducing an intracellular steroid receptor found in brain cells (https://ibn.fm/TW9ls). Lab tests on animals and humans have demonstrated its safety, and, since animal and cell culture models of neuronal injury have shown positive effects, Odyssey is preparing clinical testing to establish its effectiveness in humans. The effects of concussions can vary from person to person because a TBI affects a wide area of the brain, not just the point of impact. In an attempt to heal itself, the brain requires a high volume of glucose-based energy but the body may have difficulty delivering it because of swelling or related blood flow disruption. Repeat concussions may cause such a significant “energy crisis” that the brain shuts down all but the most essential functions it regulates, which is a major reason athletes are encouraged to rest after an initial injury rather than promptly returning to play, according to academic journal The Conversation (https://ibn.fm/NVuT4). The Conversation’s article notes that, in addition to a lack of pharmaceutical medicine to effectively treat the concerns about TBIs, the effectiveness of some traditional responses is now being disputed by medical science. For example, a long-held belief that a concussion victim should be awakened from sleep every hour may actually inhibit healing for the patient outside of the advent of a severe injury requiring advanced medical attention. And “cocoon therapy’s” complete physical and cognitive rest is now believed to be ultimately harmful to recovery as well. The “unmet medical need” status of TBIs indicates a significant market opportunity for Odyssey Health. Neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and psychological disorders and migraines have captured the most attention in the past, but the search for TBI treatments is growing more competitive. Two years ago, the BioPharma Dive journal noted large pharmaceuticals were backing away from brain-related drug development but venture capital investors had been pouring in $1.5 billion to neuroscience in 2018 and analysts were anticipating a new “golden era” for brain-related products in the near future (https://ibn.fm/kglmq). At the same time, an effort to update estimates of the incidence of concussion from all causes diagnosed by all physicians in a large jurisdiction (Ontario), rather than from single causes of injury or small populations, led to the conclusion that approximately 1.2 percent of the population was reporting a concussion at the emergency room annually — the highest rate reported to date (https://ibn.fm/i8dKV). Market researchers at Data Bridge recently forecast the overall global market for neurological disorder drug revenues growing from $79.40 billion last year to $125.60 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 5.9 percent (https://ibn.fm/4fY0e). In addition to Odyssey’s development of its concussion therapy, the company has been working on solutions for central nervous system maladies such as the highly fatal childhood disease Niemann-Pick type C and nerve gas exposure sickness. Last month, Odyssey announced the formation of a subsidiary (Odyssey Neuropharma, Inc.) focused on the development of Odyssey’s neurosteroid solutions to advance the treatment of these disorders (https://ibn.fm/mcdB7).

Reklaim Ltd. (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF) Positioned to Fill Data Void as Governments and Tech Companies Phase Out Third-Party Cookies

  • Governments are taking action to regulate, limit, or eliminate the use of third-party cookies that collect user information
  • The European Union ePrivacy Directive requires parties to obtain user consent before sending cookies
  • Google intends to phase out support for third-party cookies from its Chrome browser in 2024
  • Reklaim’s fully consensual, consumer-verified data ecosystem offers a high-quality, fully compliant solution to advertisers and data companies while rewarding users for providing access to data

The online advertising industry is transforming rapidly as governments take action to regulate, limit, or eliminate the use of third-party cookies. As a result, Reklaim (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF) is strongly positioned to serve marketers’ needs by offering fully-compliant data solutions while rewarding consumers for providing access to their data through its mobile identity ecosystem.

Cookies are small text files websites send to devices that mine and store data from the user’s browsing activities. While the cookies themselves cannot harm the device, they can store enough data to potentially identify and track users across the internet.

Some cookies — such as those that hold items in an online shopping cart — are necessary to enhance the e-commerce experience. Others, such as marketing cookies, track online activity to deliver relevant advertising based on the user’s browsing history. Marketing cookies share user information with other organizations, allowing these companies to ‘bid’ on consumers’ data profiles before serving them an advertisement.

Advertisers and brands leverage a wide range of data mined by marketing cookies, including user clicks, e-commerce preferences, location, and search history. To protect user privacy, the European Union passed the ePrivacy Directive (“EPD”) in 2002, requiring parties to (a) obtain consent before sending cookies, (b) provide detailed information about the data tracked before requesting permission, and (c) allow users to withdraw consent (https://ibn.fm/zlZiN) easily. Similar laws worldwide have either been passed or are currently under investigation, including in the United Kingdom (https://ibn.fm/CbSqx) and Germany (https://ibn.fm/sDw4Y), and the state of California (CCPA/CPRA), by far the most disruptive to the data ecosystem.

In addition to government regulations, tech companies are developing privacy-first alternatives to regulate or eliminate third-party cookies. One example is Google’s plan to phase out support for third-party cookies from its Chrome browser in late 2023 (https://ibn.fm/6888x), while Apple introduced the removal of device tracking in 2021 via its Advanced Ad Tracking Tool.

With both a cookie and device tracking future rapidly emerging, brands and advertisers are looking for new options. Reklaim aims to fill that void with addressable consumer-verified data generated in an ecosystem that rewards users for sharing valuable information about their shopping habits and brand preferences.

Reklaim’s data solutions offer more than just compliance. The data generated through its platform is current, high quality, and of greater relevance because users are actively choosing to share their information. By offering compliant, first-party data to brands, advertisers, and data companies, Reklaim is filling a void that regulators have created while allowing consumers to take control of their online input by receiving compensation.
