American Cannabis Partners Helps Michigan Achieve Record Cannabis Sales

  • Michigan continues to break sales records in the cannabis sector
  • ACP currently operates in Michigan and California and is exploring strategies for expanding operations to two more states
  • The company is focused on three business segments: real estate, acquisition and development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations
Cannabis sales numbers for December 2021 are in, and Michigan has broken another record (https://ibn.fm/pySD7). This is the kind of news that cannabis operators in the state, including American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”), love to hear. “Michigan closed out 2021 with another record-breaking month of adult-use marijuana sales in December, state officials say,” reported a recent “Marijuana Moment” article. “The state saw more than $135 million in recreational cannabis purchases and about $33 million in medical marijuana sales last month. “Andrew Brisbo, executive director of the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (‘MRA’), said on Monday that the numbers ‘marked another high for the adult-use industry,’” the article continued. “The previous adult-use marijuana sales record happened in October, with about $128 million in purchases.” Brisbo went on to note that the “new high is not because of increasing prices. . . . In fact, prices in medical and adult-use continue to drop, month over month and year over year.” The article observed that, while December set the new record for adult-use marijuana purchases, the state saw the most combined recreational and medical cannabis sales in July, with sales totaling about $171 million. “The latest data brings Michigan’s total cannabis sales for 2021 to $1,311,951,737 for adult-use and $481,225,540 for medical marijuana. And those purchases are translating into hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the state,” the article concluded. “About $131 million is going to a cannabis excise tax fund that supports various initiatives such as infrastructure and public education, MRA spokesman David Harns said. Another $115 million will support the state general fund.” ACP currently operates in Michigan and California. The company is also in the process of exploring land acquisition and project development strategies for expanding operations to two more states this year. With a total of 12 cannabis licenses, including 560,000 square feet of cultivation licenses in California and Michigan and one retail license in Michigan, ACP is committed to becoming a leader in the U.S. cannabis industry. The company is focused on three business segments: real estate, acquisition and development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. Led by a seasoned management team with more than three decades of canna-business experience, ACP is guided by its strategy to capture opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed cannabis legalization legislation, thereby equipping the company to capitalize on federal interstate commerce opportunities. Through its current cultivation operations, ACP supplies approximately 80% of its whole flower products for manufacturing, distribution and retail licenses. With the remaining 20%, the company supplies its proprietary strains to select California distributors and its own Michigan retail location under its exclusive in-house brand, ZÜK.

Delic Holdings Corp. (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) CEO to Present at Three Upcoming Investor Conferences Spotlighting the Company’s Strategic Outlook for the Remainder of 2022

  • Delic Holdings Co-founder and CEO, Matt Stang, will take part in three upcoming conferences – the Scottdale Capital Event, the Planet MicroCap Showcase, and the H.C. Wainwright Annual Global Life Sciences Conference
  • In presentations and one-on-one meetings, Stang will discuss Delic’s new revenue lines and strategic outlook for the remainder of the year
  • During a recent interview on The Jesse Tee Show, Stang noted the company intends to scale its ketamine clinics as well as build infrastructure to accommodate expanded psychedelic healing
  • The company hopes to utilize its expanded infrastructure to help destigmatize mental health conditions
Delic Holdings (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF), a company on a mission to provide research, high-quality products, education, and effective treatment options and reframe the psychedelic conversation, recently revealed its Co-founder and CEO, Matt Stang, will take part in a series of upcoming investor conferences scheduled for this spring (https://ibn.fm/PgYbu). Staggered between April and May, the events will see Stang share the company’s new revenue lines and strategic outlook for the rest of the year. At the 10th Annual Scottsdale Capital Event, scheduled for April 22-24, Stang will participate in one-on-one meetings that will look into Delic’s strategic outlook for the rest of the year. Hosted by Capital Event Management at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort in Scottdale, Arizona, the three-day event is designed to provide institutional investors, high net worth individuals, portfolio managers, and investment advisors to listen to growing companies’ stories and subsequently invest (https://ibn.fm/H4hF1). On May 4, Stang will present at the Planet MicroCap Showcase, a leading in-person event in MicroCap Finance. Stang’s presentation will focus on Delic’s business outlook and growth opportunities for the second half of the year. Like the Scottsdale Capital Event, the three-day Planet MicroCap Showcase, set to be held in Las Vegas, is expected to bring together the premier dealmakers and the most promising organizations. Closing out the series of events is the H.C. Wainwright Annual Global Life Sciences Conference, a hybrid event to be held in Miami, Florida, from May 23 through May 26. During a scheduled presentation, whose recording will be availed from June 10, Stang will detail Delic’s expansion strategy and industry outlook. He will also take part in one-on-one meetings. The common theme of Stang’s presentations and one-on-one meetings is Delic’s growth throughout the remainder of the year. And during a recent interview on The Jesse Tee Show, Stang offered a glimpse into this outlook, possibly pointing to what attendees are likely to hear. When asked about the direction he anticipates Delic to take, for example, Stang discussed the fact that the company seeks to scale (https://ibn.fm/ak4U8). “Being the largest clinic chain in America today, [we look to grow] that exponentially over the next couple of years. We think that the real opportunity is to be in the top 50 or top 100 markets with the clinics, where [people] can get safe, effective, and beneficial care. We want people to feel like there is a solution in their backyard,” said Stang. “The opportunity is to build this thing to a scale where you will see one of our clinics somewhere within 30 minutes of you.” Delic owns and operates an umbrella of brands, including Ketamine Wellness Centers (“KWC”), which constitute the United States’ largest retail and physical footprint of ketamine clinics. While the clinics currently focus on treating mental health conditions using ketamine infusions, Stang noted the company’s outlook for the future also considers other new treatment options, including psilocybin and MDMA (ecstasy), two psychoactive drugs likely to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the coming years, according to a report by the New York Times (https://ibn.fm/nXclX). Additionally, the company intends to build the infrastructure for psychedelic healing, enabling it to effectively adopt better treatments as new molecules are developed and approved. “Each person is so individual and different, and I think having a larger number of [psychedelic treatment options] to try – and they are all so powerful and beneficial in their own ways – is going to change how people interact with and talk about mental health. We can destigmatize mental health conditions,” Stang continued. As part of his presentations during the upcoming investor conferences, Stang is likely to reiterate these sentiments, constraining his outlook to 2022. This is expected to offer insights that could potentially influence investors’ investment in the fast-growing company. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.DelicCorp.com.

CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) CEO John Climaco Shares Company Highlights, Goals at 2022 Virtual Growth Conference Presented by Maxim Group LLC

  • The three-day event showcased CNS through corporate presentation, fireside chat, and live question and answer sessions
  • CNS has been granted both Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track status from the FDA for Berubicin in 2020 and 2021, respectively
  • CNS initiated a potentially pivotal global trial of Berubicin for recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (“GBM”) with the dosing of the first patients in the trial during 3Q 2021
  • At the end of 2021, CNS gained approval from swissethics to initiate trial sites in Switzerland for the global trial of Berubicin
  • Virtual event participation can be found on the CNS website under “Events”
CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a clinical-stage biotech company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, recently participated in the 2022 Virtual Growth Conference presented by the Maxim Group LLC and hosted by M-Vest from March 28-30. CEO of CNS, John Climaco, represented the company, sharing the corporate presentation and participating in a fireside chat that was moderated by Jason McCarthy, PhD, Head of Biotechnology Research at Maxim Group. The CNS corporate presentation was made available on-demand to those attending the virtual summit. The conference is a platform for investors to hear from company executives from a vast array of sectors, including biotech, clean energy, electric vehicles (“EV”), financial services, fintech, REITS, gaming, entertainment, healthcare, healthcare IT, and more. The three-day event showcased CNS and other participants’ strengths through corporate presentations, fireside chats, roundtable discussions, and live question and answer sessions with the CEOs by Maxim Research Analysts. CNS’ lead drug for glioblastoma multiforme is Berubicin, a novel anthracycline that is the first in its class capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. A Phase 1 clinical trial for Berubicin was completed by Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. almost 14 years ago. Since then, one patient has been free of cancer, and two more saw tumor reduction of up to 80%. CNS has since gained FDA Fast Track designation for Berubicin (June 2021) and FDA Orphan Drug Designation (2020). CNS recently gained approval from swissethics, the umbrella organization of the cantonal Ethics Committee in Switzerland, for a potentially pivotal glioblastoma multiforme study with Berubicin. Climaco commented on this achievement, saying it was a significant milestone for the company. “Our stated goal is, and always has been, to see Berubicin approved for the treatment of glioblastoma, and this means globally. This terrible disease does not discriminate on the basis of geography or anything else: Patients in Europe are as desperate as patients in the United States, and treating patients is not only why we do what we do but how we do it as well,” the CNS CEO added (https://ibn.fm/OMOpv). The company is also working on developing its WP1244 drug technology portfolio, utilizing anthracycline and distamycin-based structure to create small molecular agents. These agents are believed to be 500 times more potent than daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. Preclinical studies have demonstrated a high uptake in antitumor activity. CNS will evaluate its use in the treatment of multiple cancers including brain, pancreatic, ovarian, and lymphoma. In recent months, Climaco participated in other virtual events, including Virtual Investor 2022 Top Picks Conference and H.C. Wainwright BioConnect Conference. During these events, Climaco shared the company’s corporate presentation, participated in moderated question and answer sessions, and discussed the company’s future with Berubicin. The video webcast of the 2022 Top Picks Conference is available online for one year and can be accessed through the “Events” page on the CNS website.

Lightning Network Sees Increase in Popularity; LQwD FinTech Corp. (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF) Now Has Nine Active Nodes on the Network

  • The Lightning Network speeds up crypto transactions from around 7 per second (Bitcoin) to 1 million per second (Lightning Network protocol)
  • The Lightning Network was in the news due to it being used by Canadian Prime Minister candidate Pierre Poilievre and the possible use for verification of Twitter users
  • LQwD leverages the Network and provides a proprietary platform as a service (“PaaS”) offering that speeds up transaction times, is cost-effective and easy to use from anywhere in the world
Despite recent ups and downs, the cryptocurrency market maintains a strong upward trend, being expected to reach U.S. $2.2 billion by 2026. This marks a CAGR of 7.1% from the 2021 reported value of U.S. $1.6 billion, according to a Markets and Markets report (https://ibn.fm/5jfPz). The growth is primarily driven by the transparency of the distributed ledger technology, which is an obvious detriment in traditional banking systems, as many people do not trust financial institutions, and their lack of transparency leads to dissatisfaction among the public. Cryptocurrency is becoming an increasingly popular option in both emerging and developing countries worldwide – with El Salvador becoming one of the first countries to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021. Like any currency, the amount of time it takes to process a transaction is taken for granted. The slower the transaction speed, the less likely consumers will use the method. A major credit card company has a network capacity of 65,000 transactions per second in terms of fiat currency. The blockchain transaction time for Bitcoin is only around seven transactions per second unless the transaction uses The Lightning Network, which bumps up transaction times to 1,000,000 per second. The Lightning Network is a layer 2 payment protocol layered on top of the blockchain and facilitates almost instant microtransactions with lower associated fees. One company, LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF), is leveraging The Lightning Network and providing a proprietary platform as a service (“PaaS”) that speeds up transaction times, is secure, and facilitates payments anywhere in the world. LQwD’s PaaS was created to be user-friendly – with no little to no technological prerequisite required. LQwD has nine active nodes on The Lightning Network – France, England, Singapore, Sweden, Italy, Indonesia, Germany, Ireland, and the U.S. For more information or to follow LQwD’s nodes, visit www.1ML.com. Speed and efficiency have made the Network increasingly popular, with various parties supporting the incorporation of cryptocurrencies as valid payment methods and the widespread use of the Network, making the news. Pierre Poilievre, a Conservative Party candidate for Canadian Prime Minister, was in the news recently for purchasing his lunch using Bitcoin on The Lightning Network at a local family-based restaurant chain, Tahinis (https://ibn.fm/aZzzi). The restaurant itself has invested all of its cash reserves in Bitcoin. Poilievre’s campaign is pro-crypto, and he was quoted as saying, “Government is ruining the Canadian dollar, so Canadians should have the freedom to use other money, such as bitcoin.” Twitter is also making news by considering the use of cryptocurrency and The Lightning Network to help weed out the scammers and spambots on the network, but users are divided on the topic. The social media company would introduce a verification system (orange checkmark). Users pay the equivalent of US $20 in cryptocurrency to verify themselves, and their posts would receive a “verified” orange checkmark. The idea comes from MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, who tweeted his version of the idea, saying, “Twitter can solve the problem of scammers & spambots if they allow real humans to post ~50,000 sats ($20) via Lightning & get verified w/an Orange Check. Then we can limit comments/DMs to verified accounts. Bad actors forfeit their security deposit & @Twitter monetizes malice” (https://ibn.fm/I5tCV). The verification idea by Saylor is a direct response to the posts by Elon Musk – challenging Twitter’s free speech principles. Musk’s poll on the topic received over two million votes.

Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF), Building a House of Brands, Is Creating World-Class Standards for Environmental Impact, Social Justice, and Corporate Governance, to Navigate Increasing Commoditization in its Market Segment

  • Red White & Bloom, a multi-state operator in cannabis and hemp-derived product lines, has built a platform to strengthen its brands, enabling it to wade through the difficulties of increasing product commoditization
  • The company expects to showcase the results of the buildout process in the coming months
  • RWB is also committed to fostering public and local input, equitable leadership opportunities, and removing systemic structures that marginalize segments of society
A Boston Consulting Group (“BCG”) article entitled “Escaping the Doghouse: Winning in Commoditized Markets” notes that a company needs a clear roadmap that shows how it can reorganize itself for the future. This roadmap, it continues, is instrumental in helping the business stay a significant margin ahead of the changes brought about by commoditization, which is described as the situation where consumers deem products as substitutable. (https://ibn.fm/OuT4o). Commoditization has led to the failure and bankruptcy of companies that failed to adopt. At the same time, however, it has triggered the success of organizations that took a more successful approach. To help companies achieve the latter outcome, the BCG article recommends a few strategies. Most notably the write-up suggests that businesses should:
  • Identify winning business models
  • Resegment operations by the market environment versus by product type or region
  • Project the future sources of advantages
Separately, a Forbes article notes that companies that espouse social good, appealing core values, and sustainability, are bound to stay ahead in a commoditized market. Quoting a 2017 CSR study conducted by Cone Communications, the article notes that 89% of the Americans polled in the survey would “switch brands to one that is associated with a good cause, given similar price and quality” (https://ibn.fm/3XNye). For Red White & Bloom Brands (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF), a company positioning itself to be one of the top three multi-state operators in the United States in cannabis and hemp-derived product lines, the dynamics of commoditization within the cannabis industry is rather clear. To that end, the company has adopted a strategy anchored in operating a house of brands and corporate social responsibility (“CSR”). “As we close off Q4 2021, we are working diligently to thread all our strategies together and stand up our brands,” said RWB CEO Brad Rogers in his closing remarks during a November corporate update call that accompanied the release of the company’s Q3 2021 financial results (https://ibn.fm/jUuOD). “This is going to be a commoditized market, and our strategy is such that we are going to stand on our brands going forward. We just need to fortify what we are doing in the markets that we are in right now. We have created a platform to be able to do that, and we are looking forward to Q4 2021 and Q1, Q2, 2022 to really show what we have built.” Last year, RWB consolidated its status as a house of brands through various strategic moves, including the January acquisition of Platinum Vape, a leading vape brand with a portfolio that also includes gummies, chocolates, and premium cannabis flower. Presently, and as a result of this acquisition, Red White & Bloom’s portfolio comprises High Times, Platinum Vape, and Mid-American CBD. “This company has been building… and we’ll catch up with respect to where we want to be. So, when we look across 2021, the new acquisitions, the markets, etc., we’ve been building towards that. We have now set the stage in the form of infrastructure to start reporting all revenues and assets of these businesses, most of the one-time expenses and large non-cash items are behind us, putting us on solid ground in 2022 and beyond,” Brad further noted. In addition, RWB is committed to world-class standards in Environmental Impact, Social Justice, and Corporate Governance (“ESG”). Guided by the tagline “It’s our time to BLOOM (an acronym that stands for Build, Lead, Overcome, Optimize, Mentor),” the company is fostering public and local input, equitable leadership opportunities, and removing systemic structures that marginalize, while also working to reduce the number of people imprisoned with non-violent cannabis offenses (https://ibn.fm/rhZBg).

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: 8) Among Organizations Developing Clean Energy Solutions to Combat Climate Change

  • Data provided by NASA show that carbon dioxide emissions from human activities, including ammonia production for agriculture, are accelerating at an unprecedented rate resulting in an unequivocal warming effect
  • FuelPositive is among companies looking to remedy the situation by developing and providing a green ammonia production system,
  • FuelPositive’s system is expected to reduce the carbon footprint linked to the traditional production of (“grey”) ammonia, focused on agriculture, which uses 80% of the world’s ammonia
  • Man Energy Solutions and a consortium comprising researchers and collaborators are independently working on ammonia-propelled engines for the shipping and aviation industries, respectively
Though the earth’s climate has continually changed over millions of years, with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) noting that there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat in the last 650,000 years, the current changes are particularly worrying, not only because they have been triggered by human activities since the mid-1800s but also due to the fact that the warming effect is proceeding at an unprecedented rate (https://ibn.fm/xEAK3). Recognizing the deleterious impacts of climate change as a result of the warming effect caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, organizations such as FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), Man Energy Solutions, and a consortium comprising researchers and collaborators from General Electric (NYSE: GE), Boeing (NYSE: BA), Purdue University, Georgia Tech, and the University of Central Florida, are working to remedy the situation, which, as NASA documents, is dire. According to NASA, carbon dioxide (“CO2”) produced from human activities is ballooning more than 250 times faster than it did from natural sources after the last Ice Age, about 11,700 years ago. As a result, and based on the agency’s comparison of atmospheric samples, carbon dioxide levels have increased from 300 parts per million (“ppm”) in 1950 to just under 420 ppm currently. The burning of fossil fuels is the primary source of this carbon dioxide, although other human activities, such as deforestation, soil degradation, and land clearing, are also associated with the unprecedented rise in the numbers (https://ibn.fm/Ks0nE). Fossil fuels power whole industries, including shipping, aviation, hydrogen production, traditional (“grey”) anhydrous ammonia production, and more. Per the latest statistics, the shipping industry produces about 940 million tons of carbon dioxide every year or at least 2.5% of global production from human-related sources (https://ibn.fm/S5Pmq). The aviation industry generates about 2.1% of the world’s CO2 production or 915 million tons (https://ibn.fm/Bnx59), while hydrogen generation and grey ammonia production contribute 830 million tons of CO2 (https://ibn.fm/yBhLN) and 500 million tons of CO2 (https://ibn.fm/lzm0g), respectively, every year. On its part, FuelPositive aims to reduce the CO2 emissions from the production of grey ammonia. The company is developing a green ammonia production system that relies on renewable electricity to synthesize hydrogen from water and nitrogen from the air before combining the molecules in a proprietary converter to form ammonia. With over 80% of the world’s ammonia production being used in agriculture, FuelPositive’s system, which is portable, modular, and scalable, could contribute to a substantial reduction in agriculture-related CO2 emissions directly linked to the production of grey ammonia. At the same time, the system could provide on-demand fuel for the highly pollutive shipping and aviation industries. And with Man Energy Solutions and the consortium having independently immersed themselves in research, the use of green ammonia as a replacement for fossil fuels is moving forward. Man Energy Solutions, a Germany-based designer of engines, has specifically focused its energies on developing a dual-fuel ammonia engine for use in marine shipping. The company is utilizing a modular design that does not substantially modify conventional marine engine’s layout, making it easier to retrofit existing vessels to run on ammonia. This approach, it is hoped, could potentially speed up the adoption of ammonia in shipping (https://ibn.fm/b6sGz). “The company is conducting its first full-scale two-stroke dual-fuel ammonia engine test at its headquarters for development of two-stroke engines in Copenhagen, Denmark, this summer. After the testing is complete, Man Energy will design engine iterations. This should lead to delivery of the first ammonia engine to a shipyard by the end of 2024,” reads a FreightWaves article published in February. According to Man Energy, the inaugural ammonia dual-fuel engines will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 95% compared to engines running on marine gas oil (“MGO”). The residual 5%, anticipated to remain in the short term, arises from the use of diesel to ignite the ammonia, hence the dual-fuel tag. Elsewhere, led by lead researcher Professor Jay Kapat, the consortium is working to develop new ammonia-fed jet engines to supply the commercial uptake of ammonia as an aviation fuel expected to occur between 2040 and 2050. Unlike jet fuel, which emits CO2 and other greenhouse gases, using liquid ammonia to power airplanes will produce harmless emissions when combusted (https://ibn.fm/EcUx8). “Ammonia will be the hydrogen carrier, which will be catalytically ‘cracked’ to release nitrogen and hydrogen. The hydrogen will be burned in the onboard combustors (inside the engine) to provide the power…. Excess ammonia will then be used to catalytically reduce any nitrogen oxides left in the exhaust converting it to nitrogen and water,” an Ammonia Energy Association article notes. As these players look to create propulsion systems that use ammonia, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, FuelPositive is concerned with the green ammonia production aspect. The company anticipates rolling out the first demonstration units late this summer, a move that is likely to complement efforts in other industries.

Hollywall Entertainment Inc. (HWAL) Dedicated to Extending Broadband, Fiber Services to Communications Tech ‘Deserts’

  • Hollywall Entertainment Inc. is a widely diversified technology and broadcasting company, with revenue streams derived from an extensive catalog of music, film, television, software and game library rights
  • The company is dedicated to ensuring rural communities largely bereft of reliable communications technology embodied in broadband Internet are able to gain access to quality and affordable services
  • The war in Ukraine has served to highlight the importance of Internet access beyond mere entertainment value, as the country’s citizens struggle to maintain “life-saving services online”
Amid the disruptions to society and normal daily activity engendered by the war in Ukraine, the difficulty in maintaining “life-saving services online” and efforts to provide solutions for Ukraine’s citizens highlight the vital importance of delivering Internet access amid crisis (https://ibn.fm/n2csu). While the United States is by no means beset with the armed invasion of a foreign nation, concerns about ensuring “digital equity” through access to the Internet and its resources have long been a focus of telecommunication and broadcasting company Hollywall Entertainment (OTC: HWAL). And with passage of the infrastructure legislative package urged by President Joe Biden last year, the government has become more of a player than ever. The law will “rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind,” according to the White House’s explanation (https://ibn.fm/5cYW6). The high-speed Internet access will be advanced by $65 billion in appropriations through a historic investment in broadband infrastructure deployment, specifically targeting rural and racial minority “unserved” or “underserved” communities, while also delivering lower prices for internet service. A Harvard Business Review census showed that 36.4 percent (16 million) of Black households do not have a computer or broadband access and 70 percent of Black Americans report being under-prepared with digital skills, affecting their employability, leading the late congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis to describe access to the Internet as “the civil rights issue of the 21st century” (https://ibn.fm/RDhuS). Hollywall President and CEO Darnell Sutton helped to pioneer the concept of “Fiber to the People” as a way of empowering small communities, especially those in the South’s “Black Belt,” to pursue the self-determination so central to American ideals. Hollywall’s HW Vision subsidiary, is offering affordable high-speed internet access, tele-health, energy, web conferencing, domain and hosting, IOT, managed internet services, video broadcasting and nationwide unlimited talk, text and data cellular phone plans to its customers. Hollywall derives its revenue from an extensive catalog of music, film, television, software and game library rights, and has announced the pending development of non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) based on its rights to artists’ works.

Rebranding Efforts Aimed at Better Describing Triccar Inc.’s New Business Model, Identity Moving Forward: Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (TCCR)

  • Triccar Inc. completed the acquisition of Correlate Inc. and Loyal Enterprises LLC (dba Solar Sight Design) in December last year, setting the wheels in motion for a rebrand
  • In a recent news release, the company announced a majority of its shareholders had consented to a name change that will see Triccar Inc. rebrand as Correlate Infrastructure Partners as well as adopt a new symbol, subject to approvals
  • The combined company conflates related services that position Correlate Infrastructure Partners to tap into the portfolio energy optimization market, which is valued at $290 billion
  • Only 3% of the buildings and infrastructure in the United States are optimized for efficiency, sustainability, renewable energy, and EV support, representing a huge gap that Correlate Infrastructure Partners intends to exploit and grow as a result
Following the late December closing of two acquisitions, Correlate, Inc. and Loyal Enterprises LLC (dba Solar Sight Design), Triccar Inc. embarked on a journey to revamp its brand to better reflect the combined company’s business model and focus moving forward. The journey required consultations with its shareholders as well as the involvement of relevant regulatory and marketplace authorities. Accordingly, in a February 18 news release (https://ibn.fm/9ci5x), the company announced that a majority of its shareholders had, through written consent, approved a name change from Triccar Inc. to Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: TCCR). As a result, the company filed a Form 14C Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and mailed out the 14C statement to all its shareholders. The company expects to officially change its name to Correlate Infrastructure Partners as well as its ticker symbol upon receiving final approvals from the relevant regulatory and marketplace authorities. “Since the December 2021 merger of two operating companies, Correlate Inc. and Loyal Enterprises LLC (dba Solar Site Design), the company has been aggressively moving to conclude its rebranding, revised web site, investor presentation material, and initiating an investor relations awareness campaign,” commented company CEO Todd Michaels. Todd further expressed excitement at the potential for growth moving forward, especially given that only 3% of the buildings and infrastructure in the U.S are optimized for building efficiency, sustainability, renewable energy, and EV support. The December acquisition, therefore, created a company that can now foray into this space, fill the gaps that may have led to the low optimization rate, and tap into the multi-billion-dollar portfolio energy optimization market. According to the Rocky Mountain Institute, a nonprofit organization working to enhance the clean energy transition, this market has a net present value of $290 billion (https://ibn.fm/Pjagb). The merger conflated two related services: Correlate Inc.’s portfolio-scale development and finance platform, which provides commercial and industrial buildings access to clean solutions oriented toward locally-sited solar, EV infrastructure, energy storage, and smart efficiency measures, and Solar Site Design’s customer acquisition and project development tools for the commercial solar industry. As a result, it created a new data-driven, tech-enabled project development and finance platform aimed at helping industrial and commercial real estate owners augment their net operating income. With the platform, Correlate Infrastructure Partners will provide both portfolio energy optimization and sustainable profit growth for buildings in the United States (https://nnw.fm/xgl4G). (https://ibn.fm/U1c2i). “Correlate [Infrastructure Partners] is a portfolio-scale real estate platform that strives to eliminate the barriers faced by property owners in the pursuit of energy optimization and sustainability goals. Our unique membership platform reduces friction between portfolio managers and service providers by unleashing stakeholders from spreadsheets, vendor fatigue, and any need for upfront capital investment to increase building net operating income,” explains the company’s revamped website (https://ibn.fm/9W1iX). Meanwhile, Correlate Infrastructure Partners expects to file its annual report on Form 10-K on or about March 30. In addition, and according to Todd, the company is in an active acquisition mode throughout 2022 and will update its shareholders accordingly as events unfold.

Nowigence Inc.’s (NOWG) Pluaris App Provides Ideal Solution for One Billion Knowledge Workers Around the World

  • Globally, there are one billion knowledge workers whose jobs require them to combine action with a level of domain expertise
  • Providing these workers with information, tools they need to succeed is key
  • Nowigence’s Pluaris app works 24/7 to turn narrative-intensive information into scrollable intelligence
Cultivating and supporting a new generation of knowledge workers is “one of the great challenges of the modern era,” according to a recent “Forbes” article (https://ibn.fm/SZfZ4). Nowigence Inc. (NOWG) is up for the challenge, having created Pluaris, a powerful, proprietary platform that assists readers with automated reading and analysis of textual data. “There are currently about one billion knowledge workers across the globe whose jobs specifically require them to combine action with a level of domain expertise—their knowledge—to generate value and make critical decisions,” the “Forbes” article says. “Some of those decisions seem inconsequential, such as retail layout. But some of them are monumental, even if they seem small, such as the know-how to identify and replace airline parts. “Cultivating a new generation of such knowledge workers is one of the great challenges of the modern era,” the article continued. “Today’s knowledge workers are more global, work across more industries and are not always even in the office. Each of them has a different workflow depending on their job, with their own specific ways to leverage their knowledge.” “Forbes” noted that providing these workers with the information and tools they need to succeed is key to empowering them. “Historically, that simply meant teaching workers to use existing technology. We will have to be more creative than that. Computers, which Apple-founder Steve Jobs famously called ‘the bicycle of the mind,’ are no longer enough, at least in their desktop form. We cannot expect people to have to sit at an office desk to find important information and do their work, a fact made even more clear in the Covid-19 pandemic. We must find new ways to unlock knowledge workers, wherever they are and however they work. The companies that do this will be the ones that leapfrog the competition and change their industries.” Nowigence is committed to doing just that. The company’s Pluaris app works 24/7 to turn narrative-intensive information into scrollable intelligence. The platform automatically scours the web for information based on customized topics of interest, and monitors users’ drives and applications for updates. Pluaris then stores the extracted intelligence in a searchable database. “You may forget what you’ve read, but Pluaris won’t,” the company states, noting that professional knowledge workers include academicians, students, analysts, journalists, editors, researchers, lawyers, programmers, physicians, scientists and more, not to mention personal knowledge workers or individuals who just love to learn. “The intuitive interface makes it easy to drill down to whatever level of detail you require, revealing hidden insights.” Nowigence’s Pluaris offering is the ideal solution to today’s desperate need to support knowledge workers. The company is committed to helping individuals, teams and enterprises quickly distill knowledge from massive amounts of textual data, both public and private. By integrating state-of-the-art data processing techniques in an intuitive interface at an affordable subscription price, Pluaris puts the power of data science into the hands of consumers.
