• CubCrafters, producer of best-in-class Backcountry Aircraft, recently reported it would welcome public investment for the first time in its 42-year history
• 48 hours after making the announcement, the company indicated that the reservations for its offering (via a Regulation A exemption) had crossed the $5 million mark, representing over 10% of the $50 million goal
• According to the company, the money raised through this public offering is set to go toward increasing production speed, improving service and support for owners of its aircraft, and accelerating innovation
• CubCrafters is eagerly anticipating qualification of the offering by the SEC, which will allow the conversion of the reservations into actual investments

Becoming a publicly-traded company was a long-standing vision of the company Founder, Jim Richmond.  Because of this, Cub Crafters (typically styled CubCrafters), a Yakima, Washington-based OEM designer and producer of backcountry aircraft has now commenced plans to materialize his vision, and is currently allowing potential investors to reserve shares in an upcoming public offering. The news that outside investment would be allowed for the first time in the 42 year history of the company excited potential investors, who reserved more than 1,000,000 shares of stock, worth more than $5 million (https://ibn.fm/QZ97i), in just the first 48 hours after the reservation period opened. Given the company’s goal is to raise $50 million for an expansion of its operations, the company has opted to file for a Regulation A exemption from the 1933 Securities and Exchange Act (https://ibn.fm/B2JGF). If approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), this exemption will allow customers of the company, its fans, aviation enthusiasts, and even the general public to purchase shares of preferred stock in the company at the offering price of just $5 per share. “Regulation A is uniquely suited to CubCrafters because the company appeals to a large audience of pilots and aviation enthusiasts; it has a large and loyal customer base,” explained Rod Turner, CEO of Manhattan Street Capital, an online fundraising platform advising CubCrafters on the Reg A offering, in an earlier news release (https://ibn.fm/5UvyU). “Providing fans and customers with easy access to become owners of the company makes great use of the online investing process that can be used in this type of public offering.” According to Rod, the reservations, which account for more than 10% of the company’s goal, demonstrate investors’ remarkable enthusiasm and embody the reputation CubCrafters has earned over its 42 years in business. Founded in 1980 in the rural Washington State community of Yakima as a company that repaired and restored the historic Piper Cub light aircraft, CubCrafters has grown into a Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certificated OEM of Part 23 Certified, Experimental, and Light Sport (“LSA”) Backcountry Aircraft, currently offering over seven unique models. The company introduced its first ‘new’ aircraft, the Piper/CubCrafters PA18, in 1999, built under the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”)’s Spare & Surplus Rule. Later, in 2004, the company introduced the Piper-Super-Cub-inspired Top Cub, which featured a modernized design that met the Part 23 certification (https://ibn.fm/IdisS). In 2006, CubCrafters introduced its first LSA, the Sport Cub, and in 2009, it updated this aircraft’s engine to make it lightweight but capable of outputting 180 horsepower. The company renamed the Sport Cub to Carbon Cub SS in 2010 and now offers a kit version of the Carbon Cub SS under the trade name Carbon Cub EX. CubCrafters’ focus on innovation and independence became more apparent in 2016 when it introduced the XCub following close to six years of development. Built organically using the company’s resources and not involving any loans, venture capital, or customer deposits, the XCub has a wholly original fuselage design and meets the latest FAA Part 23 certification standards. Since its inception, CubCrafters has manufactured a fleet of about 1,500 new aircraft and restored or rebuilt scores of others. Furthering its storied reputation, the company indicates that the current order backlog exceeds two years, with efforts ongoing to increase production. So, with an eye on, among other targets, reducing this waiting period, CubCrafters is welcoming new public investment. “Reservations for over 10% of our $50 million goal in only two days is just amazing. This level of interest from the aviation community and the general public tells us that they see real value in our company and want to help it grow,” commented CubCrafters VP of Sales Brad Damm. “Backcountry aviation is increasing in popularity, and the demand for our aircraft continues to grow. We want to build airplanes faster to reduce the amount of time a customer has to wait to get a new airplane, we want to improve service and support for our owners, and we want to accelerate our focus on new innovation. Our goal is to exceed our customers’ expectations.” CubCrafters is offering its preferred stock for a price of $5 per share, with a minimum investment of only $400. The reservations are non-binding and can be made through the link: www.ManhattanStreetCapital.com/CubCrafters. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.CubCrafters.com.

• Global financial advisory firm Morgan Stanley, through its Real Estate Investing (“MSREI”) business, has identified the growing trend toward improving corporate building facilities’ utilities usage as a benefit to the climate and to real estate investors
• Recent legislation has generated excitement among climate change policy proponents because of its moves to fund greenhouse gas reduction activities
• Correlate Infrastructure Partners, a Louisiana-based driver of energy use optimization, anticipates seeing its growth strategies benefit from the legislative package as it works to promote improvements to HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing processes, key elements for cost-effective improvement of energy efficiency
• CIPI provides analysis and education to corporate clients that help them to recognize their greenhouse gas emissions and how to improve them, benefitting their financial bottom lines in the process

A legislative proposal in Congress designed to reduce inflation is generating excitement among proponents of climate-friendly action because of its generous provisions for benefiting those who try to reduce carbon emissions pollution (https://ibn.fm/Qp3Js). Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), a company focused on reducing climate change through improving the ways corporate buildings use energy, applauded the legislation for its funding initiatives that have the potential to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/Tj1HG). CEO Todd Michaels stated in the news release that the legislation may benefit Correlate Infrastructure’s growth initiatives through solar energy tax credits and establishing greater flexibility for companies to monetize the tax credits, adding “These two key proposals have the potential to accelerate Correlate’s growth, support our ability to own and operate nationwide solar and storage assets, and contribute to strengthening the economy through clean energy project deployment.” Global financial services powerhouse Morgan Stanley issued an investment policy paper through its Real Estate Investing (“MSREI”) business a few years ago that highlighted the importance of facilities’ energy efficiency and performance optimization trends as a vehicle driving value for real estate investors. “Overall, the real estate investment team estimates that a typical office building that integrates sustainable practices could help reduce building expenses by 3 to 30 percent, creating $3.5 billion to $34.9 billion of asset value in the top 10 U.S. markets in the process,” the investor briefing states (https://ibn.fm/guBLr). “Through reduced utility costs alone, MSREI investment managers estimate that applying existing technology could generate annual savings in office buildings ranging from $32 million in Philadelphia to $239 million in New York City, thus creating $489 million and $4.8 billion of asset value, respectively.” Morgan Stanley’s research identifies corporate buildings as consumers of about 40 percent of energy and 25 percent of water resources, creating a source for about 33 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases fueling climate change, and also reducing valuable resources in areas where supplies are already at critical levels. Correlate Infrastructure Partners mission is to improve corporate clients’ environmental governance (“ESG”) strategies by measuring and analyzing their current utilities’ use, educating clients on their potential improvements and the financial savings available to them, and helping them to implement strategic changes. As clients provide CIPI with records of their utility bills over the past year and opt in to the company’s advisement, they kick off a pathway to greater environmental responsibility and possible cost reductions through improvements to HVAC, mechanical, electrical and plumbing processes, the addition of solar upgrades, water optimization and antimicrobial airflow, the strategic procurement of energy sources, vehicle electrification and master controls that provide intelligent oversight of any retrofits.

• Golden Matrix Group Inc revealed that revenues for the third fiscal quarter ending July 21, 2022, exceeded $9 million
• The record top-line result marks a significant, 177% increase on a year-over-year basis
• Management attributed the strong performance to continued growth within the company’s B2B and B2C segments, noting that there were approximately 635 operators and 6.5mn registered users across its platforms at the present juncture

Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), a developer and licensor of online gaming platforms, systems, and gaming content, set a record for the third fiscal quarter ended July 21, 2022, reporting revenues exceeding $9 million – equivalent to an estimated 177 percent increase relative to the $3.25 million registered in the equivalent period a year ago. Moreover, the company’s strong third quarter results will likely extend Golden Matrix Group’s robust recent performance, a trend which saw the company report its 15^th consecutive quarter of profitability in 2QFY2022. While detailed quarterly results are set to be released following the submission of the company’s Form 10-Q, which is set to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in early September 2022, Golden Matrix Group’s strong top-line performance is likely to stem from continued development and expansion of the firm’s B2B and B2C business lines. Prior to fiscal 2022, Golden Matrix Group’s revenues were largely derived from licensing fees received from gaming operators located within the Asia Pacific region, who partook of the company’s GM-X turnkey solution, a complete software package designed to support online gaming businesses. The white-labelled service provided third party gaming platforms with access to GMGI’s expansive portfolio of over 10,000 games, ranging from online slots, casino table games, live operator games, and more drawn from Golden Matrix Group’s partnership with upwards of 25 providers. The historic reliance on the B2B business line was dramatically revamped following the company’s acquisition of an 80 percent controlling interest in UK-based RKings Competitions Ltd in November 2021, a purchase that allowed GMGI to significantly boost their B2C business vertical. In addition to contributing approximately $5.1 million of the group’s total revenues for the second quarter of the 2022 fiscal year, RKings’s unique competitions have also resulted in GMGI acquiring thousands of new players a quarter at relatively low cost – a crucial factor towards growing out their addressable consumer universe going forward. Golden Matrix CEO, Brian Goodman commented following the release of the third quarter result highlights, “We are excited by meaningful progress and growth in both our B2B and B2C divisions. The company has now recorded its first $9 million quarter, which is even more impressive when considering the impact of global economic headwinds and an unfavorable exchange rate throughout the quarter.” Mr. Goodman further elaborated upon the ongoing expansion of the company’s B2B and B2C verticals in recent months, noting that there were approximately 635 operators and about 6.5 million registered users across all GMGI’s traditional B2B gaming platforms at present. Moreover, he noted that RKings’ B2C competitions had engaged more than 46,000 new registered users during the most recent quarter. Lastly, Mr. Goodman also revealed that the company’s gaming permit in Mexico had recently been approved, a key milestone set to permit GMGI to continue its recent move towards the diversification of its geographic revenue base. “We are now finalizing required merchant services to operate there and expect to go live during the current quarter,” he remarked.

• Its latest addition, the device protection program, looks to tap into the $10.6 billion Chinese market, with over 1.2 billion mobile phone users, most of whom do not have access to a device protection plan
• The mobile phone insurance market is expected to hit $53.16 billion globally by 2028, and FingerMotion is targeting this growth, with eyes on expanding into other markets over time

Since it was founded in 2016, FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR), a leader in mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China, has been no stranger to reinventing itself and adjusting to changing customer preferences. Today, its goal remains to serve over a billion users in China and expand its model to other regional markets. However, its management understands that this will only be achieved by the company adjusting and improving its operations to address the changing market environment and evolving customer needs. With every passing year, FingerMotion has gained experience in the market and from interacting with key partners in various sectors. It continues to leverage all this to improve its services and the value offered to consumers. This has allowed it to grow its list of offerings into four main areas: telecommunications products and services, SMS and MMS services, big data insights, and Rich Communication Services (“RCS”). Its latest addition, the device protection program, stems from FingerMotion recognizing a vast untapped market in China, valued at approximately $10.6 billion annually. It seeks to target the over 1.2 billion mobile phone users in the country, most do not have access to a device protection plan (https://ibn.fm/76zRi). It is a bold move by the company, and its management is confident that it will pay off significantly over the next 6-12 months as more potential customers shift from 3G and 4G to 5G. “Now with the massive onset of 5G phones, there’s a really large market in China that’s looking to change up their phones for, let’s say, 3G and 4G phones to 5G. So, as (consumers) go and get new phones, the cost of this AppleCare(-similar product) is built in. So that revenue is already there,” noted Martin Shen, FingerMotion’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), while appearing in an interview with Proactive, an investor media outlet (https://ibn.fm/HOdFC). Globally, the mobile phone insurance market is projected to hit $53.16 billion by 2028, up from $27.29 billion in 2021. This will represent a CAGR of 10.4%, mainly attributed to the surge in uptake of high-quality smartphones and increasing cases of accidental damage, phone theft, and gadget failure (https://ibn.fm/jJmAW). FingerMotion looks to tap into this growth, starting with the Chinese market as it hopes to expand to other regions as time progresses. Through this diversification and overall growth of its product line, FingerMotion is confident that it can continue to build on the 37% growth experienced this year over the previous financial year. “I think our revenue right now is really just the top of the iceberg, just building on the top-up and SMS (services),” noted Mr. Shen.

• The FED and ECB have taken different sides on the scalability of the Lightning Network as a viable solution to solving the world’s payment problems
• LQwD currently has 19 active nodes on the Lightning Network – each with a capacity that continues to grow, with the goal of creating access to 24 countries worldwide by the end of the current quarter
• LQwD’s active nodes include US-West, Ireland, India, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, South Korea, South Africa, Bahrain, Indonesia, Italy, Australia, Japan-Osaka, France, Canada, England, and Japan
• The cryptocurrency market is expected to reach US $2.2 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 7.1%

On the heels of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s Working Paper Series release of “The Lightning Network: Turning Bitcoin into Money,” the European Central Bank (“ECB”) has published its own, “Towards the Holy Grail of Cross-Border Payments,” exploring six potential avenues for addressing the inefficiencies in cross-border payments to address the need for immediate, cheap, universal reach, and secure settlement in the industry (https://ibn.fm/mmcF1). Much like the FED paper, ECB lays out the framework for using blockchain and Bitcoin payment structures to facilitate payments but also incorporates the drawbacks associated with the ever-changing technology. The ECB paper hypothesizes that even with the use of the Lightning Network, a layer 2 payment protocol, there is no guarantee that the underlying technology could support cross-border payment long-term. The ECB’s paper takes the oppositional side of the debate on the Lightning Network and blockchain providing payment solutions to scale the accessibility of sending and receiving payments worldwide. The FED paper still supports the idea that had it been introduced earlier in Bitcoin’s revolution, there could have been less congestion using blockchain technology for payments during the breakout of the cryptocurrency. The FED notes that, with the Lightning Network, there is a higher potential for transactions-per-second compared to leading payment platforms, including Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal (https://ibn.fm/djhpM). LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF), a financial technology company focused on creating enterprise-grade infrastructure to drive bitcoin adoption, believes in the scalability of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network – investing its own Bitcoin assets to create worldwide micropayment channels using its 19 active nodes on the network. By the end of the current quarter, LQwD plans to increase node access to 24 countries by leveraging the Lightning Network to facilitate faster, cheaper, and more secure micropayments than current payment infrastructures. The company currently has 19 active nodes on the Lightning Network, including US-West, Ireland, India, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, South Korea, South Africa, Bahrain, Indonesia, Italy, Australia, Japan-Osaka, France, Canada, England, and Japan. The first node opened by LQwD, US-West, has seen substantial growth since November 2021, with a capacity of 6.556784520 BTC (US $153,256.77) and 120 channels. The company also released its proprietary platform as a service (“PaaS”), https://lqwd.tech/, in November 2021, serving as a platform for node hosting and managing Lightning Network channels. The company’s technology also acts as a Liquidity Service Provider (“LSP”) for merchants. The market’s growth supports LQwD’s stance on leveraging the Lightning Network to scale Bitcoin acceptance. A Markets and Markets report valued the cryptocurrency market at US $1.6 billion in 2021 and expects growth at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2026, resulting in a value of US $2.2 billion by the end of 2026. The driving factors to facilitate this type of growth include transparency through distributed ledger technology and the growth in venture capital investments to support the scalability of the digital currency revolution (https://ibn.fm/iO0df). LQwD hopes to leverage its position and enhance trust in its products and services through its transparency as a publicly-traded company. This allows for easy access to capital through the market, leverages its stock as currency for acquisitions, and attracts/retains top industry talent for further scalability to adopt Bitcoin.

• The $70-billion global power inverter market is expected to climb to $95 billion by 2028
• Hillcrest has patented new inverter technology with an initial focus on the EV market that can make EVs lighter and more powerful with extended range
• The company has released an updated white paper on the benefits of the technology, which has quickly caught the attention of companies across multiple industries

It’s not uncommon for new technology to start out slow and then hit a hockey-stick type of growth. The reasoning is simple: it takes time to get the concept mainstream and then more companies jump in the mix, exponentially increasing the manpower and investment behind it. Take electric vehicles (“EVs”) for instance. A decade ago, there were only a handful of players. Now, some carmakers are transitioning to all electric and countries globally are under mandates to eliminate fossil-fuel-powered vehicles entirely in the coming decades. To that point, some of the technology of the future isn’t exactly far down the road. “Tomorrow is today,” as explained by Don Currie, CEO of Hillcrest Energy Technologies (CSE: HEAT) (OTCQB: HLRTF) (FRA: 7HIA.F), in a recent Bell2Bell podcast. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Hillcrest is a clean technology company developing high-value, high-performance power conversion technologies and digital control systems for next-generation powertrains and grid-connected renewable energy systems. Specifically, Hillcrest is in the commercialization phase of a high-efficiency inverter that is already of great interest across multiple industries, including the EV market, which is the company’s initial focus. Today’s EVs have four critical components: battery system, inverter, motor, and onboard charger. The inverter converts direct current (“DC”) into alternating current (“AC”) for use in the electric motors in the drivetrain, or propulsion system. The designs of today’s inverters are a careful balance of range and cost considerations, and, frankly, ripe for innovation to overcome challenges sapping system efficiency. This is Hillcrest’s sweet spot, as discussed in a recently updated white paper on the company’s technology. The update added the latest results from testing and built upon previously confirmed efficiency of the inverter by specifically looking at efficiencies related to Hillcrest’s mastery of zero voltage switching, or soft switching. According to Hillcrest CTO Ari Berger, the new test results, “…clearly demonstrate that zero-voltage switching is both feasible and it offers several cost and performance benefits relative to overall system size, complexity and weight of future electric vehicles.” Hillcrest’s inverter technology eliminates today’s design trade-offs, with inverter efficiency greater than 99%. While allowing high switching frequencies without the traditional sacrifices, Hillcrest’s inverter is smaller, lighter, and more powerful, a combination that improves system performance and reliability. Thermal management can be an engineer’s nightmare as EVs produce a great deal of heat. Another benefit of Hillcrest’s inverter technology is that it reduces thermal management requirements, further adding to safety and performance. These differentiating factors have generated quite a bit of interest from upstart companies through Tier 1 suppliers to global automakers. Lending some color as to why the surge in interest, Harald Hengstenberger, managing director and founder of Systematec GmbH, a strategic partner to Hillcrest and current power electronics design house to the German automotive industry, recently said, “The ability of the Hillcrest high-efficiency inverter to operate at much higher switching frequencies without generating additional losses will now allow motor manufacturers to take advantage of new motor concepts not previously available to them.” Hillcrest is currently in the commercial prototype phase for its EV traction inverter and expects to have working prototypes in hand in the coming months. At that point, interested parties will be invited to come see them firsthand operating in the lab, which could result in agreements from potential partners or customers before the end of year, opined Currie during the Bell2Bell podcast. With the global power inverter market currently at $70 billion and expected to climb to $95 billion by 2028, Hillcrest is positioned well to capitalize on the burgeoning EV market.

• Lexaria just completed dosing for its HYPER H21-4 human clinical study that dosed 64 patients aged between 40 and 70 with measured elevated blood pressure, stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension
• HYPER-H21-4, Lexaria’s most ambitious hypertension clinical study yet, builds on the success of HYPER-H21-1 and HYPER-H21-2, both completed in 2021
• It explores the use of the company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology in the potential treatment of hypertension
• Lexaria is confident that the additional data sets collected over the course of the study will lead to supplementary applications for DehydraTECH while providing valuable additional insights into the long-term health benefits of this compound that might otherwise remain undetected

In November 2021, Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) announced its most ambitious hypertension study yet, HYPER-H21-4. The goal of the study, according to Lexaria’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chris Bunka, was to “Support the company’s goals related to pursuit of regulatory approvals for DehydraTECH-CBD for potential use as a treatment for high blood pressure,” (https://ibn.fm/MKysj). At the close of the year, Lexaria received independent Review Board (“IRB”) approval ahead of schedule, which marked a significant milestone for the company. It would set the stage for the commencement of the study in the year 2022 while allowing Lexaria to explore the full potential of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology in hypertension treatment (https://ibn.fm/7DSdQ). On July 27, 2022, Lexaria announced that dosing with DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“DehydraTECH-CBD”) had been completed in a multi-week human clinical hypertension study. Most notably, no serious adverse events were reported due to the dosing: the absence of serious adverse events is a critical goal of typical Phase I and Phase II FDA-registered studies Furthermore, the whole undertaking was completed on schedule, another huge milestone for the company as it works towards enhancing its understanding of DehydraTECH-CBD and its effectiveness in treating cardiovascular and other disease states beyond hypertension (https://ibn.fm/jCJFy). “We are extremely pleased that dosing has been completed on time in this multi-week clinical study without any serious adverse events having occurred,” noted Mr. Bunka. “Demonstrating a noteworthy safety and tolerability profile relative to conventional anti-hypertensive medications is one of Lexaria’s major goals with this program, and avoiding serious adverse events at clinically efficacious doses will be a primary requirement to achieve eventual regulatory marketing authorizations,” he added. This HYPER-H21-4 study consisted of male and female volunteers aged between 40 and 70. These volunteers had documented or measured elevated blood pressure, mild (stage 1) hypertension, to moderate (stage 2) hypertension. They received DehydraTECH-CBD every day for five weeks, with the doses escalating between 225 mg/day to 450 mg/day over the study duration, adjusted relative to body weight. The study’s extended duration allowed Lexaria to collect critical data monitoring the safety and efficacy of its DehydraTECH-CBD over time. This allowed the company to evaluate the potential for longer health benefits. Some of the study outcomes include vascular health, incorporating arterial stiffness and autonomic balance, electrocardiogram (“ECG”) analysis, brain structure and function through MRI testing, and blood biomarkers, among others. Lexaria is confident that each of these data sets will lead to additional applications for DehydraTECH-CBD while also providing valuable additional insights into the long-term health benefits of this compound that might otherwise remain undetected. Analysis of most of the data collected since the beginning of the study has begun and results should begin to be released in September 2022, with additional results to be release subsequently. HYPER-H21-4 builds on HYPER-H21-1 and HYPER-H21-2 studies, all conducted in 2021. Both of these previous studies evidenced a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure with DehydraTECH-CBD in what Mr. Bunka described as “encouraging early results.”  As a result, Lexaria is optimistic that with the success of its latest study, its DehydraTECH-CBD will offer a better alternative to existing hypertension drugs in the market, mostly known for their unwanted side effects once approved.

• The Fan Pass Live artist platform offers independent artists full control over the production, distribution, and marketing of their music – including the resources necessary to collect revenue from it

The global online music streaming industry was valued at $12.83 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $24.71 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.8%, according to an Allied Market Research report (https://ibn.fm/4vHdY). The increase in penetration of 5G, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are all expected to impact this growth positively – including the high-speed data capabilities of 5G, which are 10 times faster than 4G. The Allied Market Research report also cites an increase in on-demand streaming, contributing to more than two-thirds of the market due to pandemic influence. To capitalize on this market’s expansion, Friendable (OTC: FDBL), a mobile technology and marketing company focused on developing and identifying products, services, and brand opportunities with mass-market potential and scalability, released its flagship offering, Fan Pass Live artist platform, in July 2020. Now, Friendable’s Fan Pass Live has become the 360-degree offering for independent artists, offering music production, distribution, and marketing with the acquisition of Artist Republik and FeaturedX in January 2022. The company has identified the gaps independent artists face in the industry and has developed the ultimate “anti-label” solution. Artists under label control feel a lack of support from these labels, including financial burdens by strict contracts and excessive fees. There is also a lack of access to resources that allow artists to independently manage their careers in one place. On average, artists lose 90% of streaming revenue to record labels, 10% to booking agents, and 15 to 20% of their overall income to managers. Fan Pass Live’s platform of artist services provides independent music artists with a 360-degree solution that removes gatekeepers, middlemen, and 100% control of their music remains with them. The platform offers everything an artist needs to produce, distribute, and market their music while collecting the maximum amount of revenue. Music artists using Fan Pass Live benefit from:

• Music Distribution and Management
• Music Production Assistance
• Press Release and Instagram Promotion
• Digital Storefront Activation
• Artist Marketplace for Collaborations
• Merch, Logo, and Promotional Design Support
• Virtual Concert Booking and Ticketing Mobile Streaming Service
• Live Streaming Support
• Revenue From Fan Tips, Monthly Artist Contests, Merch, and Ticket Sales
• Access to Fan Data and Performance Analytics
• Monthly Artist Contests
• NFT Development and Metaverse Performances – Coming Soon

Additionally, the acquisition of FeaturedX offers independent artists the opportunity to collaborate with other artists, find musical compositions, and more. The addition of FeaturedX makes it easy for artists to book an artist feature, collaborate, and download the completed track for distribution through Artist Republik. Since the acquisition, the company has seen exponential growth in metrics across the board – user engagement, artist engagement, and more. The company’s current contest for its artist members is The Song of Summer Contest from Artist Republik and is already underway. Registration closed on August 8th, and the top five artists across five genres battle it out to win a total of $5,000 in rewards ($1,000 per genre). On September 1st, the top 10 songs will battle it out to be named the winner in their respective genre and take home the grand prize in each category. Artists get to keep everything they earn from the contest – furthering Friendable’s mission to support the work of independent music artists globally.
