TAAT Global Alternatives Inc. (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) Leading the Way in Offering Tobacco-Free, Nicotine-Free Alternatives

  • Growing numbers of smokers are looking for nontobacco choices
  • In 2018, out of the 34.2 million people that smoke in America, 55% tried smoking alternatives
  • TAAT offers an experience that mimics the tobacco cigarette experience in taste, smell, touch, sight and sound
The number of adult smokers choosing alternatives to traditional tobacco products is on the rise, according to a recent Grandview Research Report (https://ibn.fm/1JZh2).  TAAT(TM) Global Alternatives’ (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) is on the forefront of providing tobacco-free, nicotine-free alternatives. The company’s flagship product, TAAT, has been on an impressive trajectory since its launch less than a year ago. The game-changing tobacco-free, nicotine-free alternative was voted Best New Product at the annual HQ Event convention and is now available in hundreds of retail locations around the country, with that number increasing almost daily. “Technological advancements in the nicotine replacement therapy segment are ongoing, which has led to a rise in the number of people switching to advanced products,” noted the report. “These advancements have a variable range of effectiveness and are accepted in society when compared to traditional cigarettes, thus driving their adoption and boosting the market growth. “The global nicotine replacement therapy market size was valued at $44.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) of 16.3% from 2021 to 2028,” the report continued. “The growth can be attributed to the growing number of technological advancements and the increasing number of people undergoing nicotine replacement therapy (‘NRT’).” According to Brightview, in 2018, out of the 34.2 million people that smoke in America, 55% tried smoking alternatives. TAAT is designed so that smokers can enjoy the sensations of smoking, without the worry about tobacco and nicotine. “At TAAT, we understand that smokers aged 21+ don’t just use cigarettes because of the nicotine, as it is often about the rituals, moments, and experience associated with smoking a cigarette,” the company observed (https://ibn.fm/vJJbJ). “TAAT offers the Beyond Nicotine(TM) experience with its Beyond Tobacco base material, which mimics the tobacco cigarette experience in taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound. TAAT offers the choice to reduce nicotine intake without compromising the smoking experience.” The unique experience that TAAT provides is certainly catching people’s attention. In its first convention appearance since launching in October of last year, TAAT was voted Best New Product and earned the second-highest honor as Best in Show (https://ibn.fm/Ieloz). In addition, after TAAT signed a distribution agreement with a Georgia-based distributor that has a network of approximately 1,200 stores in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama, the product was on shelves in 71 new retail locations in a matter of only a few weeks, bringing its total store count in the United States to more than 400 as of the beginning of July (https://ibn.fm/uYhBU). This appears to be only the beginning for the company, which has seen meteoric success in less than a year. “Now that we have been marketing TAAT to smokers aged 21+ in the United States for a matter of several months, much of the groundwork has already been completed in new markets where we’re launching TAAT at retail,” said TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella. “Around the end of Q2 2021, TAAT had already proven popular in Georgia with e-commerce orders and free pack requests to GA shipping addresses amounting to approximately 14% and 20% of the respective numbers for Ohio, where we were actively promoting the product to smokers aged 21+, despite no targeted promotions on the east coast. “It wasn’t a surprise that our first wholesale shipment to Georgia was completely pre-sold, nor was it a surprise for TAAT to already be carried in over 70 stores in just a few weeks after the shipment arrived,” he continued. “With our production capacity set to expand this month with the new TAAT facilities in Las Vegas, our team has all hands on deck to sustain this momentum.” TAAT Global Alternatives has developed TAAT, a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative to traditional cigarettes available in Original, Smooth and Menthol varieties. TAAT’s base material is Beyond Tobacco, a proprietary blend that undergoes a patent-pending refinement technique causing its scent and taste to resemble tobacco. Under executive leadership with Big Tobacco pedigree, TAAT was launched first in the United States in Q4 2020 as the company seeks to position itself in the $814 billion global tobacco industry.

  • Company began trading on July 29, 2021, under KAVL symbol
  • CEO is “more enthusiastic than ever about being able to harness Kaival’s exciting potential”
  • Kaival has started production of the Bidi(TM) Pouch ahead of anticipated September launch
As of market opening on July 29, 2021, common shares of Kaival Brands Innovations Group (NASDAQ: KAVL), the exclusive global distributor of products manufactured by Bidi Vapor LLC,  will be available for trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol KAVL (https://ibn.fm/2G1DT). The move is a “monumental milestone” for the company, said KAVL founder and CEO Niraj Patel (https://ibn.fm/WAoeb). “I am pleased to announce that the company has been approved to begin trading on Nasdaq,” said Mr. Patel. “This event represents another monumental milestone in our company’s short history. We have worked diligently to achieve this goal and are humbled and grateful on the inclusion to the Nasdaq. We are more enthusiastic than ever about being able to harness Kaival’s exciting potential.” Bidi Vapor’s flagship product, the Bidi Stick, is a one-time use, closed-system, disposable vaping device that is both tamper resistant and recyclable (https://ibn.fm/Qy0NA). The stick is designed to provide satisfying nicotine levels in each drag. The Bidi Stick is sold largely through national convenience store chains; it is also available online through authorized direct retailers as well as the digital convenience store, GoPuff. Additionally, the company also has started the production of the Bidi(TM) Pouch ahead of an anticipated September launch (https://ibn.fm/S9OQh). The Bidi(TM) Pouch rollout had been delayed because of COVID-based manufacturing and supply chain constraints, so as a result, the company moved manufacturing in-house. The Bidi Pouch offers a proprietary tobacco-free nicotine formulation contained in an easy-to-go plastic can. The pouch is one of few pouch products in the market formulated without utilizing the Swedish Match formula. “I am pleased to confirm that we expect to take delivery of the pouch-manufacturing machines to our warehouse the end of August and anticipate beginning production in September with our first run expected to yield up to 500,000 cans,” said Patel. “We are excited to launch distribution of the Bidi Pouch and have been working behind the scenes during COVID-based delays to secure initial distribution.” As the exclusive distributor of Bidi Vapor, Kaival shares Bidi’s mission to provide recreational, non-combusted alternatives for adult cigarette smokers. In those efforts, both companies adamantly oppose illegal underage tobacco use, including electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”) use, by minors. The companies are committed to responsible marketing and advertising targeting adult tobacco users aged 21 and older. Based on that commitment, Kaival requires all of its direct retail partners to sign a wholesaler and direct retailer agreement that ensures that customers will be asked to provide property ID to prove age eligibility. Based in Grant, Florida, Kaival Brands is a company focused on growing and incubating innovative and profitable products into mature and dominant brands in their respective markets. The company’s vision is to develop internally, acquire or own, and exclusively distribute these profitable brands with recognizable innovation and superior quality.

Tryp Therapeutics Inc. (CSE: TRYP) (OTCQB: TRYPF) CEO Shares Insights on the Psychedelics Space on The Dealmaker Podcast

  • Mr. Greg McKee, CEO of Tryp Therapeutics, appeared on The Dealmaker Podcast to share insights on the company and the psychedelics industry
  • During the interview, he discussed the potential of psychedelics in the treatment of PTSD and other mental disorders
  • Greg also shared the challenges that the industry is facing currently, mostly to do with legislation
  • McKee also shared how people can help the company and the industry by pushing for the decriminalization of psychedelics and taking part in clinical trials
On August 2, 2021, the Dealmaker Podcast posted an interview with Greg McKee, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Tryp Therapeutics (CSE: TRYP) (OTCQB: TRYPF). The show, hosted by Oren Klaff, sought to give the audience an understanding of Tryp Therapeutics’ operations, along with Mr. McKee’s personal story on how he ended up as the CEO of the company (https://ibn.fm/Puuse). It offered some great insights into the future of the psychedelics space, along with what ordinary people can do to take the industry to the next level. When discussing what Tryp Therapeutics is all about, Mr. McKee acknowledged the current boom in the psychedelics space and the potential that these substances hold. He noted: “There are a lot of naturally-derived chemistries around that eventually find their way into more traditional drug development pathways. Psychedelics are some of those.” Mr. McKee mentioned his interaction with former Navy SEALs, all of whom developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (“PTSD”), along with other mental disorders. The patients did not see lasting efficacy on their current and standard of care treatments. Their use of more mainstream forms of therapy and treatment did not seem to work until they tried 5-MeO-DMT, a psychedelic. However, these patients did see an impact after using a psychedelic compound. The success of this psychedelic to these former Navy SEALs gave McKee the reassurance he needed that psychedelics could be of help, not just to former military officers but also to millions of other patients who suffer from chronic pain. However, he noted the most important hindrance along the way, approval. “If we can bring these chemistries to market through an FDA pathway, then we think we can completely change those patients’ lives, along with many, many other kinds of patients that suffer from chronic pain,” he noted (https://ibn.fm/pncrO). Tryp Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company that develops clinical-stage compounds designed to treat diseases with high unmet medical needs. It seeks to achieve this through accelerated regulatory pathways. The company’s current flagship program involves developing synthetic psilocybin drug candidates to treat chronic pain and eating disorder indications. It regards itself as a pioneer in developing psilocybin-related drugs and hopes to follow the same path as some cannabis pioneers that have made waves and achieved a lot in the past couple of years. The interview showed Mr. McKee’s passion for the job and how much he aligns with his company’s vision. He pointed out that although he is not the founder of the company, he understood the vision that the founder had for the company and the commitment it takes to be the company’s CEO. More importantly, Mr. McKee cited the benefits that come with the use of psilocybin in treating pain. For one, he discussed their effectiveness without the accompanying risk of addiction associated with opioids. He also acknowledged that psychedelics are far from mainstream, but that is an opportunity for the company to play the role of a first-mover. “They (psychedelics) are not mainstream yet. That’s actually the opportunity. Nobody’s done that yet. We’re just now making them synthetically and making them up to pharmaceutical-grade standards,” Mr. McKee noted. McKee noted that FDA approvals take time. However, he pointed out that if anyone wanted to play a role in the industry’s growth and, more specifically, the development of Tryp Therapeutics, they could write to or call their legislators to push for the decriminalization of psychedelics. He also noted that the company welcomes people with any diseases it addresses to participate in their clinical study. This interview offered a glimpse into Tryp Therapeutics operations, the opportunities and challenges within the psychedelics industry. Additionally, it provided insights into Mr. McKee’s ambitions, his vision for the company, along with his informed opinion on the psychedelics industry that is currently experiencing a spike in growth.

Streamlytics Is ‘One to Watch’

  • Streamlytics helps consumers get paid for their data through its proprietary Data Valuation algorithm
  • The company is the largest first-party provider of African American data
  • Streamlytics has a patent-pending new data standard, the Universal Data Interchange Format, that powers the company’s data unification
  • The global alternative data market was valued at $1.06 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 40.1% to reach more than $8 billion by 2027
  • The global artificial intelligence market was valued at $62.35 billion in 2020 and is expected to achieve a CAGR of 40.2% from 2021 to 2028
  • Streamlytics is a minority-owned, women-led company
  • The company’s founder is one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative, Inc. Magazine’s Female Founders 100, ADWEEK’s Women Trailblazers, Goldman Sachs 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs, and Business Insiders’ 25 Most Influential African Americans in Technology
Streamlytics provides ethical, people-powered data, spanning millions of data points from today’s fastest growing communities across the United States. The company unlocks the power of actual data usage, reflective of how people create data today – simultaneously across all types of platforms, not by rigid panels or unethical tracking. By partnering with consumers across the nation, the company has gained unparalleled access to audiences’ and shoppers’ content consumption and purchasing patterns across Netflix, Google, Amazon and more. Streamlytics’ first consumer facing data acquisition app allows African American consumers to own their data through a data license, value their data with its proprietary data valuation algorithm, and get fairly paid for their data. The result is ethical data transactions and unmatched insight into the decisions that consumers are making across platforms. The company’s data signals are not limited to purchase and content consumption. The breadth of activity spans fitness, health and universal mobility. The current archaic model of consumer data collection across many industries is to use second- or third-party assumptive data based on cookies or affinities, which has a high margin of error causing an enormous amount of waste in financial resources for client organizations. Streamlytics provides clear, accurate, full-spectrum data, delivering the true picture of a coveted consumer group’s activity across their digital footprint. Since its founding, the company’s mission has been to disrupt the deceptive online data collection processes that have become commonplace. Streamlytics’ drive to prioritize consumer data collection transparency and ethics has led to tremendous growth. The company recently announced it had reached a milestone of more than a quarter-billion data points. Streamlytics’ impressive growth over the past year is largely due to expansion, adding platforms like Apple, Uber, Uber Eats, Postmates and others. The company’s patent-pending data standard, Universal Data Interchange Format (“UDIF”), powers the unification of cross-platform data sources and formats into a single unified data format. Streamlytics leads the industry in consumer data unification, which is increasingly valuable as companies look to navigate away from third-party data solutions and integrate ethical first-party data across corporate strategy, product innovation, artificial intelligence, marketing and more. How it Works Streamlytics unifies consumer data from today’s fastest growing communities across popular platforms spanning over 400 million data points. We ethically unlock the power of actual usage data (directly from the source) and help companies grow by enhancing their 1st-party data strategy across sales, marketing, product, and artificial intelligence. Streamlytics data enhances existing measurement tools by focusing on density. The company’s approach provides a number of benefits over traditional data sourcing platforms, including:
  • Multidimensional data that offers visibility into consumption behaviors that define decision drivers for consumers
  • An integrated approach that connects a variety of data sources and types to paint the clearest picture of consumer behavior
  • A clear understanding of the consumer, allowing for greater targeting precision that directly impacts the effectiveness of campaigns
  • Ethical sourcing, with consumers directly compensated for their data
  • Protection of all personal identifying information (“PII”) to ensure privacy and security
The company sells data that has been ethically sourced through a Standard Datastream (a streamlined feed consisting of roughly 22.5 million data points) and a Custom Datastream (a full spectrum feed spanning over 150 million data points). Client organizations subscribe to either datastream, based on the specific audiences they want to reach. Organizations most often use Streamlytics data to enhance their first party data strategies in an effort to increase revenue and sales, refine corporate strategy and enhance machine learning training data to reduce algorithmic bias. Market Outlook The global alternative data market was valued at $1.06 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 40.1% to reach more than $8 billion by 2027. The global artificial intelligence market was valued at $62.35 billion in 2020 and is expected to achieve a CAGR of 40.2% from 2021 to 2028, according to data from Grand View Research. Streamlytics believes a new market space is emerging at the intersection of these two thriving industries called ‘Community Driven Data’, which will comprise consumers who have opted in to share their data, and companies that decide using ethically sourced data is better than fines and negative media coverage they could get from continuing to do it the old way. Streamlytics has positioned itself as the leader of this emerging new market space as consumers increasingly opt out of sharing their data under the current model, and as new laws – like Prop 24, the California Consumer Personal Information initiative passed overwhelmingly by voters in 2020 – mandate greater privacy protections for, and limits on corporate use of, consumer data. Management Team Angela Benton is founder and CEO of Streamlytics. She is a pioneer of diversity in the technology industry and of raising awareness around the inequalities that exist in the industry. In 2011, she founded NewME, the first entrepreneurial accelerator globally for minorities. Through her leadership, NewME has accelerated hundreds of entrepreneurs, helping the nascent companies to raise more than $47 million in venture capital funding. That company was acquired in 2018. Arisha Smith is the Chief Revenue Officer of Streamlytics. An innovator in advertising technology, she has designed growth strategies for businesses leveraging digital, social and mobile platforms for over 20 years. She has held marketing positions at Accenture and Microsoft, as well as at Vibe Media. She earned an MBA from Florida A&M University.

The rebranding – which sets the foundation for Friendable’s next phase of growth, with the company anticipating to kick off several important growth initiatives in the coming weeks – is intended to enable FDBL to clearly communicate who it is and what it does as it focuses on building a big business in the rapidly growing marketplace as well as prepare to ramp up advertising efforts for both artist and fan acquisitions. It also represents a shift from the company’s initial, successful focus on raising awareness of the Fan Pass brand throughout the last year. “The success of this campaign led to faster-than-expected growth in terms of user sign-ups, and we quickly moved to accomplish two ancillary goals: 1. Support the platform through cohesive message, business model and strategy; 2. Adjust the development of version 2.0 to deliver a superior platform to artists and fans,” commented Friendable CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr. The rebranding announcement comes on the heels of a recent SmallCapVoice.com interview, wherein Robert discussed the company’s vision and plans, revenue and growth strategy, and market opportunities (https://ibn.fm/CuUpF). In describing the Fan Pass platform, Robert noted that the platform – which is all about the artist, discovering new music, and connecting artists with their fans – has enabled artists to earn, perform virtually, create and sell merchandise, and invite their fans to join the platform. “We are bringing to the table a mass-market opportunity for the up-and-coming artist and, really, artists at every level and wrapping them with a support system that will boost them, help acquire and add to their fanbase, and, more importantly, really monetize in the days of uncertainty when venues have been shut down for so long,” Robert stated (https://ibn.fm/VxVri). Robert also allayed concerns brought about by the vaccine-led reopening of the events industry by stating that Fan Pass will still provide backstage access, both live and on-demand, to fans who may not be able to attend live events and concerts due to geographical and financial constraints. “So, we have additional components that we will be stacking up to the business model as the live events and venues open back up,” Robert continued. Robert further explained that Fan Pass version 2.0 has captured everything the company has learned so far, featuring a complete rebuild of UI/UX and how artists and fans interact, and has added new features and ways of developing revenue streams for the artists. Friendable has uplifted various aspects of the Fan Pass platform to tailor it to what artists are asking for and what fans want to see. The new version also represents the company’s ability to scale. “Over the next 90 days following our V2 release, we are going to start communicating with the market, our shareholders, and the community of partners that we have, and showing how these metrics are stacking and growing and how our revenues are converting and growing. And that 90-day period is going to be the metric that we need for the next 12, 24, and 36 months of revenue projections and growth,” Rositano concluded.

FingerMotion Inc. (FNGR) Schedules a Corporate Update Call for August 25 Against the Backdrop of Recent Positive Announcements

  • FingerMotion is planning to host a corporate update call on August 25 at 1 pm Eastern Time
  • As part of the call, FNGR CEO Martin Shen is expected to cover recent developments, including the quarterly financial results, application to uplist to the NASDAQ, and plans for an upcoming annual meeting of shareholders
  • A question-and-answer session is scheduled at the end of the call
FingerMotion (OTCQX: FNGR), an evolving technology company with core competency in mobile payment solutions in China, as well as SMS/MMS, will be hosting a corporate update call scheduled for August 25, 2021, at 1 pm Eastern Time. As part of the call, CEO Martin Shen will cover various subjects (https://ibn.fm/PEYuN). The update is planned against the backdrop of recent positive announcements, including the company’s release of Q1 2021 results, in which it reported record quarterly revenue of $6 million. FingerMotion’s SMS & MMS and Telecommunications Products & Services (“TPS”) notched impressive double-digit and triple-digit revenue growth rates, respectively, compared to Q1 2020. Q1 2021 was also the second consecutive quarter in which the company reported revenue from its Big Data division (https://ibn.fm/Kt5QF). During the update call, these results are expected to take center stage along with the company’s recent application to have shares of its common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. While there is no guarantee that the submission will be approved, the application still marks a key milestone for the company’s evolution, according to Shen (https://ibn.fm/NYG82). Shen is expected to talk about this application, as well as the plans for an upcoming annual meeting of shareholders in the near future. A question-and-answer session, wherein the company will answer questions submitted via emails, is scheduled at the end of the call. More details on this will be provided closer to the day of the call. Founded in 2016, FingerMotion has evolved over the years. It currently has three operational and revenue-generating business units – TPS, SMS & MMS, and Big Data – with plans to make a fourth division, the rich communication services (“RCS”), operational in due course. FingerMotion is one of only a few companies in China with access to wholesale rechargeable minutes from China’s largest mobile phone providers that can be resold to consumers. Additionally, earlier this year, buoyed by its big data product dubbed Sapientus, the company forayed into insurtech through its partnership with Pacific Life Re-insurance, which appears to have set the foundation for similar alliances in the insurtech sector. Since then, FNGR has entered into an agreement with Happy Life Insurance to create an innovative, data-driven insurance business model and also expects additional contracts relating to its insurtech products by the year’s end, To support its foray into insurtech, FingerMotion recently announced the completion of the first stage of prototyping of its insurtech model and expects completion by the end of 2021 (https://ibn.fm/5GR6B) For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FingerMotion.com.
