• REZYFi, a Miami-based mortgage lender, servicing traditional and non-traditional loans, is expanding its operations as part of a strategy to weather recent interest rate-affected market challenges
• REZYFI’s two wholly owned subsidiaries, REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc., work through a network of independent brokers and proprietary technology to service home owners as well as corporate clients
• REZYFi expects to grow from more than 30 states where it is licensed to holding a licensing in every state
• The company is also preparing to launch a high-margin cannabis commercial real estate lending division later this year

Emerging mortgage lender company REZYFi (stylized as “RZFI”) is building toward a planned launch for its product, which targets hard-to-finance lending markets in addition to traditional real estate consumers and includes a developing proprietary technology that will underscore its economy in turnaround time and staffing. Housing prices rose at a record 43 percent appreciation during the height of the pandemic as the U.S. workforce reconsidered career priorities and quality of life issues, often seeking greener pastures with the hope of greater remote work opportunities (https://ibn.fm/LPcDB). But in recent weeks, the market has entered the beginnings of a correction — spurred largely by ongoing inflationary concerns and the Fed Reserve’s efforts to curb it by raising interest rates (https://ibn.fm/5j57s). As a result of the economic pressures, a number of mortgage lenders have gone bankrupt, particularly among non-qualified (non-QM or NQM) lenders that cater to businesses and consumers that struggle to get a qualified mortgage loan (https://ibn.fm/HJFN0). REZYFi’s 100 percent-owned subsidiaries — REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc. — have felt the pressure as well, but are emerging as models of how companies can survive and emerge stronger. “We’re not the most expensive, and we’re not the least expensive lender. We really pride ourselves on delivering execution and service, really not getting into the price battle, because we’re not a large company with a large balance sheet that can buy down prices and compete on price,” ResMac’s Chief People Officer Evan Tullos told HW Media this month (https://ibn.fm/FYaCw). Tullos noted the company’s efforts to manage efficient staffing levels and expand its products and services into more commercial markets as part of its growth strategy. A significant segment of the commercial market is state-licensed operators in the cannabis industry, which have long struggled to obtain traditional loans and other banking services despite the boom they’ve enjoyed in recent years as state-by-state legalization efforts have advanced (https://ibn.fm/HNib7). RZFI plans to launch a high-margin cannabis division later this year, during its Q4 reporting period, further signs of its expectations for its growth strategy. The company is licensed in more than 30 U.S. states and expects to expand to all remaining states. The company has invested heavily in designing, building and implementing proprietary automated/machine learning technology to increase efficiencies and improve its outcomes, making it possible to operate its legacy business at staffing levels “meaningfully below those of its competitors,” according to the company.

• Odyssey is a medical company focused on products that offer clinical advantages to unmet clinical needs
• Its brain-related drug development programs are currently focused on treatments for concussion and the Niemann Pick Type-C (“NPC”) disease, both of which do not currently have approved treatments
• The company is also developing medical devices such as the intranasal drug delivery device, CardioMap, and Save-A-Life

Scientists and specialists describe concussion, which is also referred to as mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI”), as a spectrum. On the one hand, some concussed patients fully recover and do not require medical intervention or attention; on the other, some patients experience consequences, with some lasting for a prolonged period (https://ibn.fm/Z45JF). This variability underscores the fact that every brain injury develops differently, a fact that has previously somewhat impeded treatment development. In fact, there is currently no FDA-approved drug for concussion. However, organizations such as Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY), a medical company focused on unique, life-saving medical products that offer clinical advantages to unmet clinical needs, are exploring different approaches that may birth a treatment. Odyssey’s approach focuses on minimizing or eliminating the effects of a blow or jolt on the brain. This has led to the development of a fully synthetic, non-naturally occurring neurosteroid known as PRV-002, intended to treat mTBI. Designed to be administered within a few minutes of a concussive episode, PRV-002 induces an intracellular steroid receptor in brain cells, with the stimulation of this receptor activating multiple gene response elements that promote transcription of anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, and efflux channels that remove excess fluid and debris. To put it simply, PRV-002 is intended to reduce swelling, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the brain, and restore proper blood flow to the brain, effects that often arise from mechanical injury to the brain. Moreover, this drug candidate is intended to avoid drug-induced fatigue or cognitive decline linked to prolonged use and the drug weakly activates the progesterone receptor, avoiding such side effects as infertility or clotting. Odyssey is currently undertaking a Phase I study that seeks to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug candidate among healthy volunteers. Thus far, the results have evidenced that PRV-002 is safe and well tolerated, even among subjects who received multiple doses (https://ibn.fm/TLWCl). Next, the company is planning a Phase II trial, which is expected to be undertaken in military training camps, where cases of concussion are common. “It’s time to find a treatment for concussion that expedites the return to work, play, school, and military duty; a treatment that can reduce the likelihood of long-term disease. Better helmets and rule changes can assist but will not prevent concussion,” Odyssey writes in a white paper (https://ibn.fm/6sv2T). “However, if the Odyssey drug candidate can reduce the pathological cascade of molecular events that occur in the acute phase of the injury, a substantial improvement in patient outcomes can be achieved in athletic and military settings as well as other commonplace occurrences for concussion.” In addition to the PRV-002 drug candidate, Odyssey’s drug development pipeline also includes PRV-001, a first-in-class neurosteroid for the treatment of Niemann Pick Type-C (“NPC”) disease. NPC is a rare “autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disorder characterized by accumulation of cholesterol and gangliosides in the brain and liver.” It is linked to neurological dysfunction with symptoms such as seizures, psychotic episodes, progressive dementia, motor impairment, and visual palsy, just to name a few. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for this lethal neurodegenerative disease (https://ibn.fm/5GXrs). Odyssey is also developing medical devices: the breath-propelled intranasal delivery device designed to deliver PRV-002; CardioMap, a heart monitoring and screening device for early detection of coronary artery disease; and Save-A-Life, a handheld choking rescue device.

Coyuchi is the only home industry brand currently involved in the project.

Omnichannel Business Model Coyuchi differentiates itself through an omnichannel and circular business model, both of which have proven a clear draw for customers. It was an early adopter of an e-commerce sales and marketing approach (over 80% of its sales are directly through coyuchi.com), creating a distinct advantage over incumbents and start-up newcomers in the luxury space. This has resulted in a high lifetime value customer, luxury retail partners such as Nordstrom, and a flagship store in Marin County. Coyuchi’s Organic Textile Products Coyuchi’s product assortment consists of consciously designed bedding, bath, apparel, and lifestyle products spread across about 1,400 SKUs. The company believes that its product assortment, produced from 100% organic cotton with Global Organic Textile Standard (“GOTS”) certification, provides it with a significant competitive advantage. GOTS is the world’s leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, ensuring the organic status of textiles after harvesting raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing all the way to labeling, a major environmental and social benefit over conventional cotton product production. Coyuchi’s focused product assortment consists of four core categories:

• Bedding – A full suite of sustainable, organic, and high-quality sheets, duvet covers, blankets, and throws
• Bath – A luxurious line of towels, bath rugs, and mats

• EVs have been around for more than a century and once commanded almost half the U.S. auto market; a rise to the top is in the works today
• Hillcrest Energy is pioneering work in next-generation power inverters that are instrumental in EV operations and performance
• Hillcrest’s inverters are a leap forward in EV tech, reducing the overall size, weight, and cost while improving power quality, material elimination of switching losses, and a reduction in electromagnetic compatibility issues

The history of electric vehicles (“EVs”) in the United States dates to 1891, when William Morrison built a six-passenger wagon widely recognized as the first practical example of an all-electric car. In these early days of motorized transportation, EVs were bona fide competition to gasoline-powered cars, with EVs comprising about 40 percent of the U.S. market. Ultimately their slow speeds, high cost and limited range led to their demise as consumers opted for internal combustion engines (“ICE”) to traverse the nation’s expanding roadways. Now the world is preparing for EVs to become the dominant mode of transport as countries worldwide look to banish pollutive ICE vehicles forever, and with innovative technology from companies like Hillcrest Energy Technologies (CSE: HEAT) (OTCQB: HLRTF), the next generation of EVs are going to be more efficient than ever before. The fact is that work in the EV space has never gone away, with interest in electric cars waxing and waning throughout the 20th century, although efficiency and costs remained a persistent challenge. It wasn’t until Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) came out with its Roadster in 2008 that the market really started turning the corner. With hundreds of companies working in the space and billions of dollars invested against the backdrop of government mandates to develop infrastructure and switch to emissions-free cars and trucks, the evolution is well underway. Innovation abounds across the complete transportation sector. Companies such as Mercedes-Benz (Xerta: MBG) and Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) are working together on electric commercial vans for European markets. Harbinger has developed a new chassis, called the eAxle, that combines the motor, inverter, and gearbox into a replaceable integrated unit that it claims to be 15 percent more efficient and 50-80% less expensive than full packs today. Hillcrest is a clean tech company based in Vancouver that is developing transformative power conversion technologies and control system solutions for next-generation EVs and electrical systems. Hillcrest specializes in EV power inverters, a market forecast by Infinity Business Insights to grow from $8.67 billion in 2021 to $22.25 billion by 2028, fueled by widespread consumer demand for EVs and proactive government initiatives. Power inverters are an integral component in EV powertrains, as they convert Direct Current (“DC”) from batteries into Alternating Current (“AC”) that is used by motors. It’s arguable that inverters are the true unsung hero of EVs due to its abilities to unlock efficiencies. The component represents the link between innovations that will unlock further EV efficiency and range gains. The conversion function that an inverter provides is called “switching” in power electronics parlance, and Hillcrest has mastered the science of switching without incurring losses – called Zero Voltage Switching or ZVS. Hillcrest’s ZVS soft-switching inverter technology can result in a significant increase in overall system efficiency and power density, in turn reducing the overall size, weight, and cost of an inverter. Other benefits including improved motor efficiency, power quality, material elimination of switching losses, and a reduction in electromagnetic compatibility issues. Hillcrest has recently released two white papers demonstrating the advantages of its inverter technology, particularly with regards to switching frequencies. The first white paper detailed test results showing the value of operating electrical systems at higher switching frequencies with the ability to eliminate losses. The newest explains how operating at higher switch frequencies can result in a significant reduction in the size of capacitors within the system, as well as improvements in power quality, system reliability and component life. “The Hillcrest inverter will help us move from the current vicious circle of making larger, heavier batteries to increase EV range to a virtuous circle of decreasing EV mass thanks to greater efficiency and reduced complexity,” said Hillcrest CEO Don Currie during an interview with The EV Report. He added, “Our inverter is the start of that domino effect.” As it finalizes its first commercial prototype – intended for EVs – Hillcrest is making plans to embark on a strategy where it will generate multiple revenue streams (including outside the EV space) without giving up ownership or limiting opportunities with exclusive deals.

• Quantum computing provides companies with promising new technologies that have the potential to streamline the drug development and patient trial processes, potentially finding greater efficiencies than classical computing systems
• D-Wave has demonstrated that annealing quantum computers could play a transformational role in the life sciences industry, as illustrated by the company’s work with Menten AI and its achievements in protein design

The life sciences industry is centered around researching, developing, and manufacturing products to improve the lives of humans – including drug discovery. Drug discovery is a high-risk, high-reward field that helps to deliver life-changing clinical benefits to millions of patients. Through quantum computing, pharma and biotech companies may be able to stack the odds in their favor through promising new technologies. D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems and software, focused on delivering customer value via practical quantum applications, offers quantum hybrid solutions for companies within the life sciences industry. In a recent survey by the Quantum Economic Development Consortium, 82% of life sciences organizations agreed that quantum computing would have a commercial impact within the decade. Nearly one-third of respondents stated they would begin evaluating such systems within the year (https://ibn.fm/T0uSZ). D-Wave has begun to illustrate the power that quantum computing can have on the life sciences industry through its use case with Menten AI, a company reimagining biology through quantum-powered protein design. Menten AI is harnessing the unique capabilities of quantum computers to transform the traditional trial-and-error process of relying on undirected, blind screenings of random mutations. Menten AI is taking the first steps with D-Wave to incorporate quantum hybrid computing into the process, accelerating the time to solution. In 2020, Menten AI announced the development of the first successful process using quantum hybrid programs to determine protein structure for de novo protein design. These unique designs have been computationally validated, chemically synthesized, and are being advanced to live-virus testing against COVID-19. “Using hybrid quantum applications, we’re able to solve astronomical protein design problems. We’ve seen extremely encouraging results, with hybrid quantum procedures often finding better solutions than competing classical solvers for de novo protein design,” said Hans Melo, CEO and Co-Founder of Menten AI (https://ibn.fm/SvU2X). “This means we can create better proteins and ultimately enable new drug discoveries.” Through machine learning and quantum computing, Menten AI has gained a competitive edge in designing and engineering proteins for applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries – creating designer proteins that may one day be useful in a variety of therapeutics. By extending the capabilities of its protein design and structure software and interfacing it with D-Wave’s quantum processor, Menten AI researchers were able to leverage quantum annealing for their protein design problems. D-Wave is the only company building both annealing and gate-model quantum computing systems. The company works with life sciences organizations to identify the problems best suited for quantum, trains teams to start the development process, moves applications to test so that they are ready for market, and gets the application up and running to deliver benefits to the industry, and ultimately, society.

Enthusiasts, businesses, and traders all over the world looking forward to the event can participate virtually. The Crypto Fest, in collaboration with the SA Innovation Summit, the largest startup event in Africa, is a part of the Week of Innovation taking place in Cape Town over 3 days, the 27-29 September 2022. The abode of heritage sites, beautiful beaches, and a plethora of scenic places and natural reserves, South Africa is the perfect venue to host the Crypto Fest 2022. The theme of the Crypto Fest is a play on the satire-comedy movie ‘Don’t Look Up. The theme revolves around people’s inability to deal effectively with climate change. In the movie plot, a comet is threatening to destroy planet earth, and the people, instead of preparing to tackle the danger, indulge in distractions of pop culture and goofy memes. As the world is evolving, change is coming to the crypto-Defi-NFT-Web3 space too. The event offers a tremendous platform for attendees to harness the novel business ideas and networking opportunities. The Crypto Fest will witness stalwarts of the crypto space, all assembling on this unified floor to participate in meaningful conversations, important discussions and debates, and some interesting pitches. The Crypto Fest 2022 is the place to be, showcasing an extraordinary experience of how innovative technologies and budding communities are making a significant mark in the world of finance, investing, art, music, sport, gaming, entertainment, marketing, governance, and more. The event floor will witness 1,500+ in-person and virtual attendees networking and connecting. An impressive lineup of global leaders sharing their insights on the hottest cryptocurrency, Non-Fungible Token (“NFT”), Metaverse, Web3, and Decentralized Finance (Defi) topics, awaits at the Crypto Week 2022. It’s expected to be a scintillating environment at the Cape Town fest venue with exciting keynote presentations, companies showcasing brands, and pitching their businesses at their respective booths. Attendees can immerse in the NFT art and Metaverse gaming experiences and participate in competitions and giveaways with top live local artists and DJ performances at the after-party.
