Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) Ramps Up Investor Relations Efforts with Dedicated Investor Deck as It Continues its Journey Toward Making the U.S. the Safest Country Globally Through the Application of Advanced Robotics Technology

  • Knightscope’s shares began trading publicly on the Nasdaq Global Market on January 27, following the closing of a public offering that kicked off in early December
  • Following the public offering, Knightscope has entered its 2nd chapter as it continues to work toward making the U.S. the safest nation in the world
  • The company has now created a dedicated investor deck to help inform prospective and existing Knightscope investors
Roughly 90% of women and 60% of men visit companies’ investor relations (“IR”) websites when researching a new investment opportunity. These statistics, uncovered by PR Newswire’s Vintage Division in its 2016 Shareholder Confidence 365 Study (https://ibn.fm/Ky87z), are complemented and reinforced by insiders’ observations that a company’s IR website is one of the most important sources of information for investors (https://ibn.fm/tz4QR). The IR website, they say, should not be overly complex. Instead, it should have user-friendly navigation, with key content reachable using just a few clicks, and offering simple data summaries. dTo this end, Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP), a developer of advanced physical security technologies, has rolled out a dedicated simplified IR site (https://ibn.fm/ihdBE) linking directly to the company’s investor presentation and CEO’s video introduction to the latest shareholder meeting. This site augments Knightscope’s general investor overview information offered as a tab on the company’s main website, featuring Knightscope’s story, investor updates, news, events, presentations, corporate governance, financial information, stock information, and IR resources. Knightscope’s shares were first announced to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market in early December (https://ibn.fm/lkMjS), kick-starting a public offering that raised over $22.3 million through the sale of 2,236,619 shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock as of January 26 (https://ibn.fm/VKcQ3). Trading on NASDAQ commenced on January 27, 2022. “We’ve brought on thousands and thousands of new investors in Knightscope as we embark on the 2nd chapter of a very long book in helping to make the United States of America the safest country in the world. I am forever grateful for our relentless team and the 28,000+ investors that helped write the 1st chapter in our journey,” commented Knightscope Chairman and CEO William Santana Li following the closing of the public offering. The company intends to direct the net proceeds of the offering toward the scaling of its current fleet of Autonomous Security Robots (“ASRs”), which includes the K1, K3, and K5, as well as simultaneously investing in new technologies. With these proceeds, Knightscope’s 2nd chapter appears well underway, driven by investors, for whom the intuitive, simple, well-structured, and informative IR website is intended. Since its inception in 2013, Knightscope has leveraged investments from its supporters – to the tune of more than $100 million, according to its latest presentation (https://ibn.fm/3umH7) – with the amount going toward building all the crime-fighting technology from scratch. In addition to its ASRs, the company also offers the Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”) user interface, data storage, analytics, and charging systems, which are collectively anchored in a Machine-as-a-Service business model. The KSOC user interface enables security professionals to monitor multiple locations, manage patrol schedules, sound alarms, communicate via two-way intercoms, as well as watch and listen to the happenings around the ASRs. Knightscope has a recurring revenue business model for a recurring societal problem of crime, and is well poised to continue to grow with its portfolio of advanced physical security technologies.

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) Granted U.S. Patent for Deuterated DMT

  • Company announced the first officially issued patent
  • Patent provides strong protection for Cybin’s growing IP portfolio of psychedelic-based compounds
  • CYB004 has demonstrated potential efficacy at lower doses while increasing duration of drug effect that may alleviate common negative experiences
In a milestone moment for psychedelic therapeutics company Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), the company has announced its first official issued patent. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has granted U.S. patent 11,242,318 to Cybin’s proprietary CYB004, the company’s lead investigational proprietary DMT compound. “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 Cybin CEO Doug 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.” Under the patent, allowed claims include a range of deuterated forms of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT; the patent also covers composition of matter and protects the CYB004 drug substance as a putative new chemical entity until 2041, when the patent is set to expire. Most importantly, perhaps, the patent highlights the strength of Cybin’s IP position and the company’s differentiated approach to bringing a psychedelic-based therapy toward regulatory approval and to patients in an otherwise congested industry. Cybin has spent considerable time and resources developing CYB004, which has the potential to effectively treat anxiety disorders with improved control over DMT delivered through inhalation. Specifically, in preclinical trials, the proprietary DMT compound indicated reduced dosage for better safety as well as the potential for longer duration of effect while reducing negative experiences associated with current treatment methods. For more information on Cybin’s programs, visit their corporate presentation at the following link: https://ibn.fm/RzdzR. Looking forward, the company is planning a pilot study of CYB004; Cybin intends to submit a clinical trial application for the study in coming weeks with expectations to begin the study in Q3 of 2022. In addition, Cybin will follow up on multiple opportunities to secure and support its patent position for research and development evaluating deuterated tryptamines for future psychedelic-based treatments for mental illnesses. The market for Cybin’s newly patented CYB004 is vast, with the National Institute of Mental Health reporting that an estimated 19% of adults in the United States had any anxiety disorder in the past year and more than 31 of U.S. adults will experience any anxiety disorder at some point in their lives). With those numbers as a backdrop, the potential is high for Cybin’s innovative drug-delivery systems to change lives and establish the company as a leader in a billion-dollar industry 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, United Kingdom and Ireland. The company is focused 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.

Multitasking with the Superpower of Pluaris

  • App simplifies process of reading, studying and analyzing, allowing readers to stay on top of information they need to know
  • “Forbes” claims multitasking masters are simply switching back and forth between two or more objects
  • Relying on artificial intelligence rather than human intelligence, Pluaris can do a myriad of things simultaneously
Multitasking is a myth, declared a recent “Forbes” article, dashing the belief of overachievers everywhere who thought they had mastered the art of doing more than one thing at a time. However, while “Forbes” claims people are unable to multitask, Nowigence Inc. (NOWG) has developed an off-the shelf, cloud-based, artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform, called Pluaris(TM), that actually can successfully handle more than one task at a time. “Most of us, especially us Type A’s, like to think we’re great multitaskers,” states the article. “We check our email and text messages while listening in on a Zoom meeting, working on a spreadsheet, and scrolling Twitter or a news site. In this age of distraction, multitasking seems like a useful superpower to have. Unfortunately, it isn’t even real. That’s right — multitasking is a myth.” Instead, claims “Forbes,” what multitasking masters are actually doing is switching back and forth between two or more objects, which the publication calls “task switching.” “Often, there’s little rhyme or reason for the switching,” the article notes. “That’s especially the case when we let little distractions and ongoing worries interrupt our focus. When we’re task switching, we aren’t fully engaged in anything. Task switching can take a significant toll. You may be surprised to learn that toggling back and forth between tasks—even just taking 30 seconds to send a text—slows down and can even derail your mental ability for up to a full half hour afterward.” The article goes on to point out that task switchers often become more forgetful, dumber and more stressed out. While multitasking might not be a real thing, Nowigence’s Pluaris is. Relying on artificial intelligence rather than human intelligence, Pluaris can do a myriad of things simultaneously. The game-changing app automatically monitors public news sources for identified topics of interest while also gathering information together and providing summaries, extracting intelligence, and creating graphical analysis. It’s the ultimate multitasking platform. And while Pluaris automates reading and analysis of textual data, the app’s users can focus on one thing: learning more in less time. The app simplifies the process of reading, studying, and analyzing, allowing readers to stay on top of the information they need to know. Simplifying learning is what Nowigence is all about. 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.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) and BayMedica Rare Cannabinoids to Enter Market Q1 2022; Leveraging on Fast-Growing Global Health and Wellness Market

  • Over 140 rare cannabinoids exist in the cannabis plant – some with the potential to have more therapeutic benefits than those cannabinoids found prominently in the plant
  • InMed and subsidiary BayMedica plan to release several rare cannabinoid products in the first half of 2022
  • Combination of complementary InMed and BayMedica business models key to increasing shareholders’ value
In 2020, the global health and wellness market reached $4.436 trillion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2030, resulting in an estimated value of $7.7 trillion by the end of the forecasted period (https://ibn.fm/BjCNi). The primary driver for the market is the rise in chronic diseases globally. The lifestyles led by individuals have resulted in a high prevalence of stress, depression, anxiety, cancer, diabetes, and other health-related issues. On top of these conditions, the lack of a proper diet has reduced the intake of essential minerals and nutrients required for healthy function by every body. The rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical industry and the constant research and development of health and wellness products boost the medicinal industry with life-saving drugs and treatments for some of the most devastating illnesses and diseases. Six areas make up a consumer’s view of wellness – better health, better fitness, better nutrition, better appearance, better sleep, and better mindfulness. According to a McKinsey & Company survey, worldwide, the most money spent was on products that promote better health (https://ibn.fm/Jhzpl). The majority of the spending (70%) was product-related, but over the next year, the services industry is expected to grow as well. InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM), a clinical-stage company developing cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates and the manufacturer of technologies for pharmaceutical-grade rare cannabinoids, has dedicated itself to developing new therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of conditions with high unmet medical needs. Together with its subsidiary, BayMedica, InMed increases shareholder value by combining two complementary business models. There are over 140 rare cannabinoids that naturally occur at low amounts in the cannabis plant. InMed initially focused on the therapeutic benefits of cannabinol (“CBN”), which shows increased potential over other cannabinoids more prominently found in the cannabis plant. CBN is also the active pharmaceutical ingredient in two lead programs conducted by InMed for dermatological (INM-755) and ocular (INM-088) diseases. The manufacturing process used by InMed and recently acquired subsidiary BayMedica is unparalleled in the industry. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to cannabinoid manufacturing, so multiple avenues are required to realize the maximum outcome for the targeted cannabinoid. InMed and BayMedica, like a well-oiled machine, work together using biosynthesis, chemical synthesis, and the proprietary IntegraSyn(TM) manufacturing models. Biosynthesis is preferred for complex structures at a large scale and is well suited for the consumer and health industry. Chemical synthesis is preferred for cannabinoids with simple structures and offers the potential for less equipment and lower capital requirements. There is also a potential for easier validation with chemical synthesis, and it is also an important component of secondary IntegraSyn(TM) differentiation steps. IntegraSyn(TM) utilizes high-efficiency biosynthesis-derived enzymes, allowing the flexibility to shift from the production of one cannabinoid to a range of cannabinoids. This proprietary method makes it easy to scale up to mass production, it is commonly available, and it is cost-efficient when dealing with startup materials. Together, InMed and BayMedica plan to launch a series of rare cannabinoids into the health and wellness sector during Q1 2022, starting with cannabicitran (“CBT”). “We are delivering on our objective to launch additional rare cannabinoids in early 2022 in response to inbound demand,” BayMedica SVP and General Manager Shane Johnson said (https://ibn.fm/lsr3m). “By midyear, we expect to have at least four rare cannabinoids available for the health and wellness markets, positioning us as a leading large-scale supplier of high-quality rare cannabinoids in these sectors.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.InMedPharma.com.

With nearly 16% of adults in the US reporting hearing trouble, the total addressable market of InnerScope Hearing Technologies (OTC: INND), a leading manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of FDA-Registered hearing aids, appears to be vast (https://ibn.fm/qD3tv).

HearingAssist has been an established leader in the DTC hearing aid market since 2008. It is known as Walmart’s largest hearing aid supplier, with products available in 757 of its stores nationwide and over 500,000 hearing aids sold to date. INND also offers free self-check hearing screening in its kiosks installed in national pharmacy chains, big-box retailers, and national and local groceries chains. In December 2021, INND announced a deal with Giant Eagle, one of the country’s largest grocery and pharmacy chains with more than 470 locations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Indiana. The agreement allows INND to initially deploy its proprietary hearing kiosks in six locations, with more to come (https://ibn.fm/hnzhn). INND continues to add new in-store hearing kiosks as part of its strategic rollout with multi-billion-dollar grocery and pharmacy retailers. As a veteran in the retail hearing aid space, with its founders who have over 70 years in the business, INND offers hearing aids that are FDA-registered, medical-grade devices. They come with professional remote programming and support from licensed hearing professionals through INND’s proprietary HearIQ App (available to download Free on Apple App Store and Google Play). INND also launched a new call center designed to deliver a superior personalized customer experience and elevate the support it provides to customers as it continues to accelerate nationwide growth. INND remains committed to empowering consumers to take control of their hearing care from the comfort of their homes by delivering the same quality of hearing technology and expert support as traditional providers but at a fraction of the cost. INND also offers a monthly subscription payment option that allows users to purchase hearing aids and get bi-annual free upgrades, making hearing care even more affordable. With its portfolio of innovative yet affordable hearing solutions targeted at the market that is expected to expand, INND is confident that there is a significant market opportunity for the company to experience explosive growth potential over the next 6 to 12 months (https://ibn.fm/xjThr).

Nemaura Medical Inc.’s (NASDAQ: NMRD) sugarBEAT(R) Wearable CGM Device Targets Billion-Dollar Global Diabetes Market

  • Global diabetes-related healthcare expenses are estimated at $966 billion in 2021
  • A recent report reveals 537 million adults currently live with diabetes, projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045
  • Glucose intake is an important factor in diabetes management, prevention and reversal
  • NMRD’s sugarBEAT(R) wearable is a non-invasive, flexible CGM device helping diabetes and prediabetes patients monitor glucose levels
  • NMRD’s MiBoKo metabolic health program recently launched, provides AI-powered insights based on glucose readings
Diabetes is a primary driver of chronic disease costing the healthcare services sector more than $966 billion in 2021. Nemaura Medical (NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company that develops affordable diagnostic and digital tools for chronic disease management, is positioned to address the problem with sugarBEAT(R), a wearable, non-invasive and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (“CGM”) that can help diabetes and prediabetes patients monitor glucose levels to manage, prevent, and possibly reverse the disease. According to the International Diabetes Federation (“IDF”), diabetes is, “spiraling out of control.” The organization recently released a report detailing the disease’s progress, revealing that 537 million adults live with diabetes, a number projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Besides affecting the health and wellbeing of patients, employers and insurers are burdened with diabetes-related expenses, currently estimated at over $966 billion – a 316% increase over the last 15 years. Nemaura addresses this through its flagship sugarBEAT(R) wearable CGM device and companion mobile app that provides helpful disease management insights. Unlike other CGM devices, sugarBEAT(R) is non-invasive and doesn’t require insertion of the sensor inside the skin: Users can now choose the days they wear the patch instead of a prolonged continuous-wear period lasting up to 14 days. Combined with MiBoKo, the company’s recently launched metabolic health program, both products provide valuable AI-powered insights that NMRD management believes will benefit one-third to half of the diabetes market. “A person’s response to sugar intake can influence many factors, from appetite and body weight, to sleep patterns, energy levels and even mood, not to mention also being a considerable factor in chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease and dementia,” said NMRD CEO Dr. Faz Chowdhury. “With MiBoKo, we can extend our proprietary non-invasive device and sensor technology and interactive lifestyle and AI coaching programs beyond the traditional diabetes market and into an adjacent, yet separate, market application of metabolic health. At Nemaura, we continue to look for the intersection of patient comfort and convenience through an advanced and unique technology that addresses significant healthcare needs for large patient populations. We believe that MiBoKo offers insights into metabolic health in a user-friendly way unlike any other program on the market.” Founded in 2011, NMRD initially developed a single platform technology to measure blood markers at the skin’s surface. Since then, the company evolved its technology to address the global need for wearable glucose-monitoring devices, intersecting the diabetes, pre-diabetes, and weight loss markets. With several filed and pending patents, and significant trade secrets covering its technology platform, Nemaura is favorably positioned to lead the market with cost-effective, wearable, and non-invasive diabetes management devices.
