Home Bistro Inc. (HBIS) Is ‘One to Watch’

  • Home Bistro’s strategic acquisition of California-based Model Meals meal delivery brand created bicoastal operations
  • The company over the past 12 months has added five celebrity chefs to the Home Bistro platform
  • Home Bistro recently relocated its East Coast operations to a state-of-the-art South Florida food production and fulfillment facility, creating a highly cost-effective infrastructure
  • The company was selected best “a la carte” meal delivery service by Insider.com
  • Home Bistro recently launched a wine offering with In Good Taste Wines, a unique direct-to-consumer wine platform
Home Bistro (OTC: HBIS) is a Miami-based company engaged in the business of providing prepackaged and prepared meals to consumers. The company has created the next generation of prepared meal delivery – Ready-Made Gourmet Meal Delivery 3.0. Home Bistro addresses the three major problems facing the prepared food delivery market: poor food quality; customers tired of eating the same meals; and, eating at home is still eating at home, with the accompanying food preparation and clean up chores. The company addresses these problems by delivering high quality food fresh and fast, providing customers a variety of meal choices from a diverse lineup of celebrity chefs, and requiring simple prep and easy clean up without sacrificing the fine dining experience. Home Bistro offers a family of high quality, direct-to-consumer, ready-made, gourmet meals. Using the latest fresh food “skin-packing” technology, Home Bistro offers a virtual “Bistro Emporium” where consumers can cross select from a wide variety of siloed “bistros,” each with a dedicated section and unique visitor experience created by a renowned celebrity/executive chef. Meals delivered fresh can be eaten within 10 to 14 days or frozen for up to six months. The company’s mission is to lead the next generation of heat-to-eat food delivery with unique and delicious cuisine and an experience that excites the market. Home Bistro’s advantage in the highly competitive meal delivery space is meal diversity – with the best celebrity chefs from around the world, offering a home-based fine dining experience through a selection of over 50 unique gourmet meals, as well as offering a developing selection of desserts and single-serving wine to perfectly complement the meal experience. In addition, the company uses only the highest quality ingredients in its meals and preserves their freshness by employing state-of-the-art vacuum skin packing. In mid-2021, Home Bistro acquired southern-California based Model Meals, a lifestyle ready-to-eat meal prep service, which is Whole30 and Paleo approved, while then only serving three states. In September 2021, Home Bistro commenced shipping Model Meals to all 50 states and recently announced that it will launch a subscription-based service for Model Meals consisting of three meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for up to five days per week. The subscription service, expected to launch by May 2022, will initially target the Southern California market, where Model Meals maintains a food production and fulfillment facility and enjoys a strong customer base. Brands and Products Home Bistro’s leading online platform (www.HomeBistro.com) provides direct-to-consumer, heat-to-eat, celebrity chef-inspired gourmet meals. Offerings currently include inspirations developed by “Iron Chef” Cat Cora, two-time New York Times best-selling cookbook author and TV host Ayesha Curry, sports-tailgating focused creator of “Hungry Fan” Chef Diana Falk, “Master Chef” Claudia Sandoval, and “Top-Chef All-Star” Richard Blais. Soon-to-launch celebrity chefs on the Home Bistro platform include “Caterer to the Stars” Roblé Ali, “zero-waste cooking” celebrity chef Priyanka Naik, and CHOPPED champion Melanie Moss. Home Bistro’s Model Meals lifestyle brand (www.ModelMeals.com) is a Whole30 and Paleo approved, ready-to-eat meal prep service, offering a weekly rotating menu that is prepared by professional chefs, using only the highest quality ingredients available, sourced responsibly and locally, and delivered in sustainable, eco-friendly packaging. Home Bistro has partnered with celebrity chef Melanie Moss to expand its dessert menu options. In keeping with its mission to deliver a complete gourmet culinary experience to discerning customers, Home Bistro beta-tested its first dessert – a delicious, sweet and salty caramel brownie. Based on the encouraging results, the company is moving forward to create a much more robust dessert menu. Home Bistro has formally launched its wine offering initiative with In Good Taste Wines, a unique direct-to-consumer wine platform that empowers wine lovers to “discover the world, by the glass.” The company has worked diligently with the In Good Taste Wines team to develop a unique selection of elegant single-serving wines to pair with Home Bistro’s celebrity chef-inspired meals. The partnership with In Good Taste Wines provides Home Bistro with a low-cost, incremental source of revenue, which will assist the company in expanding its gross profit margin and lead it to faster profitability. Market Outlook Global revenue in the online food delivery sector was $136 billion in 2020 and forecast to grow steadily at a 7.5% CAGR through 2024 to a projected value of $182 billion. In the U.S., the food delivery sector, which comprises both the restaurant-to-consumer segment and the platform-to-consumer segment where Home Bistro operates, is expected to surpass $32.3 billion in 2024. The company’s addressable market, the platform-to-consumer segment, is approximately 30% of the U.S. market and is projected to reach a value of $9.7 billion by 2024. This segment is expected to grow even faster than the sector as a whole as providers refine their focus on healthier meals, more convenient delivery and subscription options and more advanced meal processing technology.

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) CYB004 Pipeline Program Receives Key Patent Approval from WIPO

  • World Intellectual Property Organization has published CYBN’s international patent application
  • Publication of patent application demonstrates CYBN’s continued commitment to discovering, developing psychedelic-based treatment options
  • Company continues to see strong protection for growing intellectual property portfolio of psychedelic-based compounds
Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) announced that the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) has published an international patent application filed by Cybin. According to Cybin, the application, titled “Methods for Delivery of Psychedelic Medications by Inhalation and Systems for Performing the Methods,” further strengthens Cybin’s long-term intellectual property (“IP”) position related to psychedelic-based programs. The application covers an array of inhalation delivery methods across multiple psychedelic molecules. The WIPO’s recent move allows Cybin to pursue patent applications and seek protection for multiple inhaled forms of psychedelic molecules that are currently being researched and developed. The application also covers future developments made by the company. “The publication of this PCT patent application demonstrates our continued commitment to discovering and developing new psychedelic-based treatment options, in addition to identifying and combining potentially improved and well-controlled delivery systems with these clinical candidates,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “In addition, our progress to secure IP for unique psychedelic delivery methods strongly aligns and supports our current CYB004 pipeline program of deuterated DMT via inhalation, which is aimed at overcoming some of the known challenges of oral and IV-administered DMT.” Earlier this year, Cybin announced another key milestone for its CYB004 investigational deuterated dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”) compound. In February, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent for CYB004 (https://ibn.fm/vvDxP) that covers composition of matter and protects the proprietary drug substance as a putative new chemical entity. “From the outset, Cybin has focused on creating differentiated compounds that harness the potential efficacy of classical psychedelics, while addressing the known limitations necessary for these molecules to become approvable therapeutics,” said Drysdale. “We are extremely pleased to receive a composition of matter patent for CYB004, adding strong protection for our growing intellectual property portfolio of psychedelic-based compounds, supporting and protecting the investments that we are making in our CYB004 program. This patent is both rewarding and timely as we prepare to initiate a pilot study for CYB004 in the third quarter of 2022 and work tirelessly to develop an important and alternative treatment option for the millions of people suffering from anxiety disorders.” Cybin is a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company, working with a network of world-class partners and internationally recognized scientists, on a mission to create safe and effective therapeutics for patients to address a multitude of mental health issues. Headquartered in Canada and founded in 2019, Cybin is operational in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company focuses on progressing psychedelics to therapeutics by engineering proprietary drug-discovery platforms, innovative drug-delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for mental health disorders.

Nowigence Inc. (NOWG) Tackles Growing Need for Teams to Share Essential Information, Using Proprietary Pluaris Platform

  • HBR reports that collaborative work has risen 50% or more over the past decade
  • Much of this collaborative work is designed to share essential information required to make key decisions
  • Pluaris streamlines the way teams find, extract, recall and use intelligence to make decisions or complete tasks
“Harvard Business Review” (“HBR”) reports that collaborative work in the workforce has risen over the past decade, consuming an estimated 85% or more of some people’s time (https://ibn.fm/vZzUR). That is a number that Nowigence Inc. (NOWG) is helping reduce through its exclusive proprietary platform, Pluaris. “Collaborative work — time spent on email, IM, phone, and video calls — has risen 50% or more over the past decade to consume 85% or more of most people’s work weeks,” reports the HBR article. “The COVID-19 pandemic caused this figure to take another sharp upward tick, with people spending more time each week in shorter and more fragmented meetings, with voice and video call times doubling and IM traffic increasing by 65%. And to make matters worse, collaboration demands are moving further into the evening and are beginning earlier in the morning. “These demands, which can be invisible to managers, are hurting organizations’ efforts to become more agile and innovative,” the article continued. “And they can lead to individual career derailment, burnout, and declines in physical and mental well-being.” Much of this collaborative work is designed to share essential information required for organizations to make key decisions. NOWG’s Pluaris is specifically designed to improve collaborations. “Communication is hard, and information is easily lost in translation, leading to duplication of effort in teams and across enterprises,” the company notes (https://ibn.fm/Tz1gz). “Pluaris makes it easy to synthesize and summarize the extracted intelligence into real insights, and then to share that with your team within a single platform. “With institutional memory shared across your team, each member will be able to add intelligence to ‘one brain’ so that no one is ever doing the same work or gathering information someone has already explored,” the company continues. “Pluaris streamlines the way your team finds, extracts, recalls and uses intelligence to make decisions or complete tasks.” With its Pluaris offering, Nowigence provides a unique solution to the growing challenge of collaboration overload and the desperate need for tools that identify, organize and distribute information in a uniform way so that everyone has access to critical information. Pluaris reads and analyzes articles, documents and other textual data, so users can learn more in less time, uncover hidden insights, and stay on top of the information they need to know. By integrating state-of-the-art data-processing techniques in an intuitive interface at an affordable subscription price, Pluaris enables collaboration in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) Strengthens Management Team to Drive Innovation as Market Expansion Continues

  • Knightscope, a leader in the development of autonomous security capabilities, and known for its respect of diversity in company governance and management, has expanded its management team by promoting Doris Lam, Jason M. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Gallegos, and Ryan J. Fanciullo
  • The newly promoted executives will help drive Knightscope’s product innovation and sales growth in support of the company’s continued market expansion, with the company celebrating the deployment of a K5 ASR with one of the largest finance companies in the U.S.
In its 2022 State of Protective Intelligence Report, which surveyed security professionals, legal officers, compliance officers, and corporate attorneys at U.S. companies with more than 5,000 employees, the Ontic Center for Protective Intelligence (“OCPI”) noted that 88% of the respondents maintain that their companies are experiencing a substantial uptick in physical threat activity that is expected to grow even further as the year progresses (https://ibn.fm/LPpq5). Eighty-five percent of the respondents also believe the physical threat landscape has dramatically changed and expanded compared to the beginning of 2021. In fact, in its 2021 report, OCPI noted that only 64% of the respondents acknowledged their companies were experiencing a rise in physical threat activity. As a result of the reported shift, 85% of the respondents note that 2022 represents a turning point as their companies will now begin to prioritize physical security, a domain in which Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) has established itself as a leader thanks to its solutions’ autonomous security capabilities. Established in 2013, Knightscope builds autonomous security robots (“ASRs”) that detect, deter, and report crimes. The Silicon-valley based company currently offers three types of security robots: the K1, a stationary machine suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces and optimized for small areas; the K3, an indoor mobile ASR; and the K5, a fully outdoor security robot. The ASRs are proving useful to companies around the country, with Knightscope most recently announcing the deployment of a K5 ASR with a Fortune 500 company located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Knightscope’s newest client – one of the largest finance companies in the country – added the K5 ASR to complement its already strong security program, providing an even safer environment for its employees and customers (https://ibn.fm/rvKIe). This announcement follows Knightscope’s deployment of two K5 ASRs at two locations last month – the California Credit Union (https://ibn.fm/Q3nr7) and a twin-tower office complex in Silicon Valley (https://ibn.fm/rw9wL). In support the innovation that drives this ongoing expansion, Knightscope recently expanded its management team by promotions from within, to “better equip the company for long-term growth plans.” The company promoted Doris Lam, Jason M. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Gallegos, and Ryan J. Fanciullo to the positions of VP Finance, SVP Client Development, VP Client Experience, and VP Operations, respectively, to capitalize on the company’s ongoing momentum (https://ibn.fm/5Ko4F). “I am so excited that we have such a seasoned and dedicated team leading Knightscope, and I wish to thank all of them for their absolutely relentless efforts,” commented KSCP Chairman and CEO William Santana Li. “We have a long road ahead of us, but I have had the honor and privilege of working with these outstanding individuals for years, and I am bullish about the future because of them.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Knightscope.com.

Advanced Container Technologies Inc.’s (ACTX) Grow Pods Offer Attractive Investment Option for Entry into Indoor Farming

  • Modular indoor farming is expected to grow to $9.7 billion worldwide by 2026
  • The “Times” reports that controlled-environment agriculture, including indoor farms, is attracting venture capitalists
  • ACT’s Grow Pods are essentially micro-farms that can be placed anywhere and allow cultivation 365 days a year
Modular indoor farms are expanding as the demand for year-round produce steadily increases, reports the “New York Times” last week (https://ibn.fm/Nnu3b). That upward swing is not news to Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), a savvy company that has been pioneering the idea through the distribution of self-contained, automated, indoor micro-farms called Grow Pods. “Vertical farming is expected to grow to $9.7 billion worldwide by 2026, from $3.1 billion in 2021, according to ResearchAndMarkets.com, a data analysis firm,” states the “Times.” The article went on to report that a recently constructed 95,000-square-foot warehouse in Compton, California, “ticks off all the boxes for ideal storage,” including 32-foot-high ceilings, a secure truck court and access to truck routes. “But it won’t be used for cargo or storage,” the article noted. Instead, the huge warehouse is an indoor vertical farm, expected to open later this year. “At a time when supply chain disruptions continue to slow distribution, consumers embrace healthy eating habits and climate change is expected to affect crop yields, a practice known as controlled-environment agriculture, including indoor vertical farms relying on artificial light and technology, is attracting venture capitalists,” the article continued. “Pitchbook, a financial data and software company in Seattle, tracked 33 deals worth nearly $960 million in 2021, up from $865 million the year before and $484 million in 2019.” Few companies are more ideally suited for success in this growing space than Advanced Container Technologies. The company is the sole distributor of Grow Pods, which are advanced, self-contained hydroponic containers manufactured by GP Solutions Inc. (https://ibn.fm/aD3Vf). “These innovative automated systems are essentially micro-farms that can be placed virtually anywhere and, with their controlled and specially filtered environment, allow cultivation of a wide variety of crops, 365 days a year,” states the company. The controlled environment of a Grow Pod offers major advantages for companies looking to produce high-value crops, including the ability to grow produce year-round and the ability to cultivate in a smaller footprint using less water and power. “Grow Pods offer constant temperature, humidity and airflow control, as well as automated watering and lighting schedules for optimal growth and minimal labor requirements, regardless of crop,” says ACT. Advanced Container Technologies is in the business of selling and distributing Grow Pods, along with related equipment and supplies. Additionally, the company designs and sells patented, proprietary medical-grade plastic containers, known as the Medtainer(R), that store and grind pharmaceuticals, herbs, teas and other solids or liquids.

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) Establishing Foothold in Growing REE Market

  • Recent report forecasts REE space to see 4% CAGR through 2027
  • Demand for magnets projected to increase demand for rare earth elements
  • Energy Fuels is the only U.S. company producing an REE product this far down the REE supply chain
A recent Mordor Intelligence article is reporting that the global rare earth elements (“REE”) market has reached an estimated 161,354.65 tons this year, with an expected compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of more than 4% between now and 2027 (https://ibn.fm/6UppN). That growth could prove beneficial to Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), a leading U.S.-based uranium mining company that is also moving faster than any other company to re-establish a domestic REE supply chain. According to Mordor, factors driving the growth of the market include high demand from emerging economies and dependency of “green technology” on rare earth elements. “Rare earth elements usually have high electrical conductivity, and they naturally occur together in minerals,” the report continued. “Rare earth elements are the strongest magnets available today. The rare earth elements market is segmented by elements, applications and geography.” Looking closer at the demand for magnets, the report observed that magnets stand to be one of the largest applications for rare earth elements “because they are used extensively in a wide array of industries, including electronics, automotive, power generation, medical, etc. “Magnets are used in computer hard drives, microwave power tubes, anti-lock brakes, automotive parts, disk drive motors, frictionless bearings, power generation, magnetic refrigeration, microphones and speakers, communication systems and MRI,” the report stated. “Industries, such as automotive, electronics and healthcare, have been witnessing innovation and development, driving the demand for magnets in such industries.” According to Mordor, last year approximately 85% of automakers were using neodymium-incorporated permanent magnet motors, and there are projections that automotive demand for rare earths will rise by 25% this year alone. In addition, “magnets are used in medical equipment, such as MRI machines, pacemakers, sleep apnea machines and insulin pumps,” the report noted. “Hence, all such trends are expected to noticeably drive the demand for magnets, which is further projected to increase the demand for rare earth elements in the coming years.” This bodes well for Energy Fuels. While maintaining its focus on being the largest U.S. producer of uranium, the company is also focused on responsibly producing the raw materials needed for the clean-energy revolution and, in 2021, began recovering REEs (https://ibn.fm/mHDnf). The effort is complementary, as the highest-value REE-bearing minerals also contain uranium and other naturally radioactive elements that need to be managed or recovered. UUUU’s White Mesa Mill in Utah is the only existing facility in North America with the licenses and capabilities to process monazite, the highest value REE mineral in the world. Last year, Energy Fuels began commercial production of an intermediate REE product, called “mixed rare earth carbonate” that is ready for REE separation without further processing, making it the only U.S. company producing an REE product this far down the REE supply chain. The company plans to fully integrate REE production in the next two to three years. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.EnergyFuels.com.

Robert A.

The new corporate presentation points out the overall market share in the industry – citing statistics including the 43.1% independent artist direct market share (MIDiA Research) and the projected 2024 revenue of independent artists, writers, and performers in the US being projected to reach $23.1 billion (Statista) (https://ibn.fm/dHdlU). The problems artists face in the industry include label control and expensive fees – both of which are eliminated through Friendable’s 360 artist offering including Fan Pass Live, Artist Republik, and FeaturedX. Friendable will be expanding its virtual and technological integration by incorporating non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) to change how artists earn and distribute their music. The NFT offering will allow artists to earn additional revenue by offering the resources necessary to turn their music into NFTs that can be sold or traded to fans, collectors, and music enthusiasts. As technology continues to integrate with virtual capability, Friendable is committed to remaining at the forefront of new technology in the music industry.

  • Ticketed Events

As it currently stands, over 63% of Americans who have used prescription medications to treat depression, anxiety, or PTSD, have reported that while the medication helped, they still underwent residual feelings of their conditions. In addition, 83% of those who have experienced these conditions before have noted that they are open to exploring alternative treatments that are more effective than prescription medications. In what marked a significant move for the company, Ketamine Wellness Centers (“KWC”), a subsidiary of Delic Holdings and the largest ketamine therapy provider in the United States, announced the expansion of its treatment options to include SPRAVATO(R) nasal spray beginning April 1 (https://ibn.fm/0r6nf). SPRAVATO is the first FDA-approved ekestamine nasal spray for adults, made explicitly for treatment-resistant depression (“TRD”) along with the treatment of depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (“MDD”) with suicidal thoughts or actions. SPRAVATO received FDA approval for the treatment of TRD back in 2019 following an efficacy evaluation in three short-term (four-week) clinical tests, along with one longer-term maintenance-of-effect trial. The nasal spray would be used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant and would only be available through a restricted distribution system, under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”) (https://ibn.fm/uyb48). While making the announcement, Kevin Nicholson, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of KWC and the Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) of Delic, noted that the introduction of SPRAVATO underscores KWC’s commitment to providing clinically-backed, accessible, and affordable treatments to patients nationwide. He further pointed out that the company’s dedication to offering the highest quality service available, coupled with its vast network of ketamine clinics, allows it to serve more patients than any other ketamine therapy provider. “Ketamine Wellness Centers strives to be our patients’ strongest advocate by providing effective and affordable mental health treatment, and SPRAVATO is the next step in maintaining that standard,” Mr. Nicholson noted. Patients who might be interested in this treatment option will undergo KWC’s thorough intake and screening process to ensure they are suitable candidates and would gain the most benefit from the treatment. In addition, KWC’s clinical protocols provide that SPRAVATO treatments are administered in precisely the proper care and patient safety settings. “Our team rigorously studied SPRAVATO’s clinical efficacy before offering the treatment to our wider patient community and expanding our care options,” noted Mr. Nicholson. “We are confident that adding this treatment to our mental wellness centers will greatly benefit our patients,” he added. Since Delic completed the acquisition of KWC in November 2021, it has been on an aggressive expansion plan, growing the number of locations to 13, up from 10, with plans to open more locations in the coming months. So far, these facilities serve communities across nine states in the United States and have provided over 70,000 treatments to clinically eligible patients, ranging from young adults to seniors (https://ibn.fm/2gL1y). The addition of SPRAVATO to KWC’s list of offerings guarantees more options for its patients. In addition, it allows both KWC and Delic to provide effective and affordable mental health treatment to patients across the country.
