• Renewable textile innovator Coyuchi Inc. is dedicated to making luxury sustainable practice products a central part of the home living design industry
• Coyuchi’s President and CEO Eileen Mockus recently participated in a Bell2Bell podcast interview to discuss company achievements during 2022 and plans for 2023
• Coyuchi to introduce two new products in 2023 that will use cotton the company helped grow last year through a California farm focused on soil biodiversity and renewable practices
• The company’s Reg A+ investment offering, that was announced in August, already topped $1 million milestone in December

Organic luxury bed, bath, and apparel product innovator Coyuchi is celebrating the company’s new impetus for product category development and marketing thanks to enthusiasm for its Regulation A+ offering announced in August.

“One of the first use of funds that we kicked off at the end of 2022 was opening a second retail location here in Palo Alto, Calif. … That store launched just before all of the holiday selling kicked in along about mid-November and (we’re) still focusing on how do we enhance that customer experience,” company President and CEO Eileen Mockus said during a recent interview for InvestorBrandNetwork’s The Bell2Bell Podcast.

“Other things that we are working on, and we’ll have more of this coming in 2023, is looking at brand partnerships,” Mockus said. “We’re really interested in partnerships with other retailers. Seventy percent of bedding purchases are made through department stores. We’re an online business and we want to show up with other retailers.”

Those partnership goals include introducing Coyuchi’s lineup of sustainable living designs to the hospitality industry, she said.

Coyuchi has led the home industry in luxury organic textiles that have a small impact on the earth’s climate for over 30 years.

The company is pledging itself to achieve net zero emissions by 2025 and net positive emissions by 2030, and last year it announced the creation of a council of leaders with experience in the fashion, regenerative agriculture and sustainability industries to further realize its commitment.

“The complexities of the textiles supply chain do not allow for us to work alone, and when we launched our first circular product in 2020, we recognized the true value of our network in the battle against climate change,” Mockus stated at the time (https://ibn.fm/gRUeM).

As examples, Mockus noted the company’s collaboration with vendors who recycle the water in their textile processing operations and cotton growers who use renewable agriculture practices.

“(I’m) happy to share in 2022 (we) worked with a group called C4, which is the California Cotton and Climate Coalition, and grew some cotton on a farm in California, and had some great partners for that project … all looking for ways to increase biodiversity of the soil,” Mockus told Bell2Bell. “We took the cotton from that project and are launching two new products in 2023 that will use that cotton in the finished product from Coyuchi.”

Coyuchi’s original founder established the company’s goal to introduce organic cotton to the home goods sector of the textile industry, and the company has taken to heart its mission of using organic products that people will enjoy using at home, Mockus said.

The company’s net income grew 26 percent YOY between 2020 and 2021, according to an audited financial statement the company released earlier (https://ibn.fm/BitHG). The company indicated it had a return customer rate of 35 percent over 24 months, and Mockus said those returning customers were also a large part of the reason its Reg A+ offering was able to top the $1 million milestone by December 2022.

• Homes contribute significantly to climate change, producing twice as much carbon dioxide emissions annually than automobiles
• GeoSolar Technologies’ SmartGreen(TM) Home system utilizes leading edge solar, geothermal and air filtration technology to offer true net zero homes that achieve some of the highest HERS index ratings in the industry
• The company recently published a webinar discussing the industry while providing comprehensive insight on SmartGreen(TM) homes, from financial to health

When it comes to greenhouse gases and carbon emissions that are polluting our atmosphere and contributing to climate change, cars are usually pointed at as the major culprit. That’s not an accurate accusation, though. As detailed by GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”) in a recent webinar available on YouTube, homes produce far more carbon dioxide than cars do and it’s not even close.

The average gasoline-powered car produces 4 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The average home doubles that, generating 8 tons of carbon dioxide each year.

After a decade of R&D, the team at GeoSolar Technologies has launched the SmartGreen(TM) home, a comprehensive makeover utilizing solar panels, geothermal, and electric heat pumps to generate clean, renewable energy to heat, cool, and power a home, albeit a new build or retrofit. The result is a house with no carbon emissions or utility bills with documented health benefits for the habitants. Houses today generally are 110+ on the 0-150 HERS(R) (Home Energy Ratings System) index, indicating highly inefficient. A SmartGreen(TM) home, as one of the most efficient, environmentally friendly homes available today, registers near 0.

GeoSolar refers to the installation process, which typically only takes a couple weeks from start to finish, as “DEP,” an acronym for decarbonization, electrification, and purification. During the modernization, the house’s shell is properly insulated, and any old, inefficient heating/cooling and non-electric components of a house are removed, replaced by solar panels on the roof, geothermal ground loops, electric heat pump, EV car charger, battery backup, and air filtration system.

With a SmartGreen(TM) home, there is no need for carbon monoxide detectors or all-house generators to protect against power outages. The electrical panel is replaced by what GeoSolar calls “SPAN,” a smart energy panel that provides a full picture of energy production and consumption.

As discussed by Dr. Ty Newell, owner of Build Equinox Smart Ventilation, the attention to air quality in a SmartGreen(TM) home distinguishes it from its peers. GeoSolar’s smart ventilation continuously monitors air quality and is highly effective against COVID-19, Valley Fever, and triggers for asthma, colds, flu, and allergies. This is particularly important considering the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that indoor pollutants are often 2-5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. According to Dr. Newell, the GeoSolar system puts “our health, comfort, and well-being at the forefront of the technology.” The entire system can be accessed and controlled through a smartphone.

Owing in part to drastically lower costs compared to a decade ago and growing awareness of need to transition away from fossil fuels, the home electrification trend is accelerating. The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), passed into law late in 2022, should serve as a catalyst for the trend, considering incentives will cover about 40% of the cost for a homeowner to ditch natural gas, propane, or heating oil in favor of renewable energy. The IRA is leading a sea change that for the first time ever makes renewable energy for the home and vehicle less expensive than fossil fuel sources.

GeoSolar and its partners take care of the complete package for homeowners. They handle all the design, permitting, installation, commissioning, rebates, and financing to make the upgrades seamless with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s lives.

The GeoSolar team members walk the walk. Dar-Long Chan, PhD, is Director of New Product Development at GeoSolar. He left a 16-year career at Exxon where he learned in detail just how dirty fossil fuel energy is. Taking the approach to “lead fossil fuels before they lead me,” he made a personal and professional career change dedicated to clean energy transition, including moving into a SmartGreen(TM) net zero home in Colorado that uses about 25% of the energy of a traditional similar-sized house.

Stone Douglas, CEO at GeoSolar, is on a similar journey, decarbonizing and electrifying his house in California over a decade ago before it was becoming trendy. Douglas says that he made the transition purely for financial reasons and that was before all the robust incentives available today. He thinks with all the rebates and tax credits of the IRA, that homeowners can realize about a 7-year return on investment and then live without a utility bill, which he calls effectively a “tax-free dividend” of the investment made in your home, health, and environment.

• Rates of cardiovascular risk factors, disease and heart attacks projected to increase significantly
• HeartBeam offers a personal, portable and easy-to-use heart-attack detection solution
• “Our HeartBeam AIMI and HeartBeam AIMIGo solutions will transform the way patients and doctors detect heart attacks,” states CEO

With heart disease consistently being the leading cause of death in the United States (https://ibn.fm/kDLwz), companies such as HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT) that are focusing on solutions are gaining both attention and support. As a cardiac technology company, HeartBeam is leading the way in identifying heart attacks by developing a personal, portable and easy-to-use heart-attack detection solution. HeartBeam’s efforts appear even more important looking forward. A recent Science Daily article (https://ibn.fm/xuLIq) reported that “by the year 2060, projected rates of cardiovascular risk factors and disease will increase significantly in the United States, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Substantial increases in cardiovascular trends may contribute to a rising burden on the U.S. health care system and highlight the need for equitable access to prevention education and treatments now to prevent future disease.” Major cardiovascular (“CV”) risk factors include unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol. “Among the general U.S. population, all four CV risk factors are expected to increase from 2025 to 2060,” the article continued. “The researchers found that stroke (33.8% to 15M) and heart failure (33.4% to 13M) were the highest projected increases in rates of cardiovascular diseases, followed by ischemic heart disease (30.7% to 29M) and heart attack (16.9% to 16M).” HeartBeam is focused on those rising heart attack numbers. The company has two patented products in development: HeartBeam AIMI(TM), software for acute care settings that provides a 3D comparison of baseline and symptomatic 12-lead ECG to more accurately identify a heart attack, and HeartBeam AIMIGo(TM), the first and only credit-card-sized 12-lead output ECG device coupled with a smartphone app and cloud-based diagnostic software system to facilitate remote heart-attack detection. “Developed by our pioneering team, our HeartBeam AIMI and HeartBeam AIMIGo solutions will transform the way patients and doctors detect heart attacks,” stated HeartBeam CEO and founder Branislav Vajdic, PhD (https://ibn.fm/XdfZO). “By providing remote, 12-lead 3D vector ECG capability, the HeartBeam platform intends to offer fast, accurate detection of heart attacks and complex cardiac arrhythmias for the first time outside of a medical setting.” The company anticipates receiving regulatory approval soon for the use of the HeartBeam AIMI system in acute-care settings. In a recent report to shareholders, Vajdic noted that the company is in discussions with the FDA and expects the system to be cleared in Q1 2023. In an emergency situation, the software will provide an attending physician with an instant comparison of the patient’s baseline and symptomatic ECG along with diagnostic suggestions, enabling medical care providers to quickly determine if a patient needs intervention or can be discharged, which helps manage ED capacity. The company is planning to submit the first version of HeartBeam AIMIGo to the FDA in Q1 2023 as well. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.HeartBeam.com.

• Current monoclonal antibody therapies less effective against emerging COVID-19 variants
• BiondVax is developing an inhaled nanosized antibody (NanoAb) therapy for COVID-19 with human clinical Phase 1/2a results anticipated in 2023
• The global monoclonal antibodies market was valued at $185.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and demand for biologics
• The biologics market size was valued at $366.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $719.94 billion by 2030

According to a new study, new COVID-19 subvariants have become dominant in recent months, rendering some current vaccines and treatments less effective, which could results in a surge of breakthrough infections. To date, the BQ.1, BQ.1.1, XBB, and XBB.1 omicron subvariants are the most immune evasive variants of COVID-19 – causing 72% of new infections in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://ibn.fm/0n3vY). With scientists finding that these subvariants are “barely susceptible to neutralization” by vaccines, including the new omicron boosters, the immune response of people vaccinated and who had breakthrough infections with prior omicron variants are also weaker against subvariants (https://ibn.fm/fpdPg). The intended inhaled mechanism of delivery of BiondVax Pharmaceuticals’ (NASDAQ: BVXV) COVID-19 nanosized antibody (NanoAb) formulation may serve as a significant differentiator when compared to approved monoclonal antibodies, which are injected. Inhaled delivery has shown to be cheaper, more convenient, and likely safer for patients and providers. BiondVax recently reported data from a preclinical in vivo study indicating that compared to the control (placebo) group, hamsters treated with BiondVax’s inhaled NanoAb one day after infection had negligible (below detection level) SARS-COV-2 viral titers in their lungs, and experienced a milder and shorter illness in comparison to the placebo group that had average 30 times higher viral titers in their lungs at the end of the trial. BiondVax’s human clinical Phase 1/2a for the inhaled COVID-19 NanoAb therapy is anticipated in 2023. NanoAbs, also known as VHH-antibodies or Nanobodies, are alpaca-derived nanosized antibodies that exhibit multiple significant competitive advantages over existing antibody therapies, including stability at high temperatures, superior binding affinity, more effective and convenient routes of administration, and efficient production. BiondVax is uniquely positioned to advance nanosized antibody innovation from R&D through commercialization. The biologics market size was valued at $366.5 billion in 2021, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.15%, reaching $719.94 billion by 2030. The approval of new biologic drugs is expected to further drive market growth during the forecast period and account for a significant share in 2021 (https://ibn.fm/90rgZ). BiondVax is focused on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative immunotherapeutic products, primarily for the treatment of infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. The company has an exclusive strategic collaboration with the Max Planck Society – the parent organization of the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences – and the University Medical Center Göttingen (“UMG”) for the development and commercialization of innovative NanoAb therapies starting with COVID-19. With highly experienced pharmaceutical industry leadership, BiondVax is aiming to develop a pipeline of diversified and commercially viable products and platforms, beginning with an innovative NanoAb pipeline. Since its inception, BiondVax has executed eight clinical trials, including a seven-country, 12,400-participant Phase 3 trial of its prior influenza vaccine candidate.

In spite of its significantly elevated performance and flexibility, the Vista-X120 Plus consumes less than 18 W of power, which is exceptional for long-range lidars and will be important for integration into electric vehicles,” he concluded. Recognized in the CES 2023 Innovation Award program in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category, this groundbreaking lidar was exhibited at CES in Las Vegas, NV, from January 5 – 8, 2023, where interested attendees had an opportunity to watch a live demonstration and learn more about Cepton. As a member of the Lidar Coalition (https://ibn.fm/0zcEY), Cepton showcased its Vista(R)-X120 Plus to demonstrate lidar’s unique potential to enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians. The company used immersive experiences and simulations to feature a Chevy Silverado and a Ford F-150 equipped with the company’s latest vehicle integration solutions that are designed to address real-life driving needs as they combine both near-range blind spot elimination and long-range obstacle detection as well as a self-cleaning system from Koito Manufacturing.

While appearing in an interview presented by Sequire Spotlight, and hosted by Carmel Fisher, MetAlert (OTC: MLRT) CEO Patrick Bertagna discussed the company’s recent progress and how well it is poised to enter the 2023 financial year. Of note was his optimism in the new products launched thus far, such as the patented GPS SmartSole, a hub for collecting and transmitting data to the cloud in real-time, and RoomMate, an alert system that detects and alerts caregivers about patient behaviors, without intruding into their privacy (https://ibn.fm/q8cML).

MetAlert, a developer of personal protective medical equipment and supplies and a pioneer in wearable GPS, human and asset tracking systems, has sought to offer viable solutions to individuals afflicted with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism (“ADA”). This commitment has informed its approach and the development of its products that have so far gone beyond location-sensitive health monitoring devices to include Concierge, Artificial Intelligence, and the Telehealth platform that allows access remotely to doctors and other health professionals on an as-needed basis.

According to Bertagna, most of its target market cannot use conventional technologies. Because of that, MetAlert has developed a suite of products and services that allow caregivers to provide excellent care to these patients by quickly and efficiently monitoring where they are and how they are doing, and allowing them to send their medical information to their doctors for easier care.

“It is really about increasing the quality of life, the longevity of people that are challenged,” he noted.

Bertagna also hinted at MetAlert’s possible uplisting, having brought on board a leading figure in the private equity and Mergers and Acquisitions (“M&A”) community. He mentioned that the company has a lot planned for the new year, including acquisitions resulting from extensive efforts to clean up its balance sheet over the past couple of years.

“We spent the last couple of years cleaning up our balance sheet. We got rid of all our variable convertible debt, so our balance sheet looks very clean and healthy,” Bertagna noted.

“We think we are very well poised to enter 2023,” he added.

MetAlert has had an strong start to the new year with its Canadian distributor launch of its SmartSole flagship product. Its management, starting with CEO Bertagna, is confident about the company’s continued prospects. Bertagna is optimistic that, as its revenue per user (“RPU”) continues to grow, its margins will increase, ultimately placing the company in a position to uplist.
