Security robot manufacturer Knightscope rolled out its first autonomous product in 2015 and has watched its fanbase steadily grow during the years since then, topping 20,000 investors in February following a quick burst of new energy on the public involvement front.
During a virtual fireside interview with IPO Edge in December (when Knightscope was still reporting investors at the 17,000 level), CEO William Santana Li explained the importance of the company’s Reg A+ offering that allows Knightscope to attract private investments between $500 and $10 million online without launching a public IPO, although the company maintains a plan to go public eventually (https://ibn.fm/GsMB1). You can read about what the Company can legally say at this time about a public listing here.
“Do you know who our investors are? NYPD detectives, FBI, CIA, DHS, investment bankers, recruiters, great legal minds, chief security officers of major corporations, vice presidents of leasing of major malls and REITs. … They’re financially motivated to help the company,” Li said.
“Folks that look at this and they’re like, ‘Ah, you did this equity crowdfunding type of stuff,’ like in a negative type of way. And I’m like, ‘You know, what do you think Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley do all day? Someone files an S1 and what is that? That is one massive global equity crowdfunding exercise to get every Tom, Dick and Harry to write a check,” Li added. “If you look at the mission, you’re trying to secure the entire U.S. and you’re serious about it, do you really think four VCs sitting in a room, worried about all the wrong things, is how you’re going to change the world? You’re going to have to do this piece by piece and you’re going to need a lot of support.”
Knightscope’s strategy is to deliver autonomous security robots (“ASRs”) that harness A.I. developments, giving them the capacity to monitor broadcasts, thermal signatures and physical surroundings in 360-degree environments while recording what they detect and reporting it back to a monitoring center.
The company promotes its sentries’ ability to patrol facilities indoors and outdoors on a 24/7 basis 365 days a year, removing humans from front-line interactions until it’s necessary for them to intervene and thereby minimizing some of the hazards arising from armed confrontations, tedium and contagion during the currently ongoing pandemic.
Li acknowledged that there have been hurdles to overcome along the way and that everything has not gone perfectly, but also noted that the company’s robots have been popular enough that clients often have naming ceremonies to welcome the newest robotic members of their personnel teams and that members of the public have sometimes been known to hug or kiss them.
“Henry Ford (the founder of the Ford Motor Company and chief developer of the assembly line that drove mass production techniques) once stated, ‘If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.’ Sometimes you just have to create something all new that’s never been done before,” Li says in an investor relations video on the company’s website (https://ibn.fm/ZWM5b). “We’re blazing that new trail in law enforcement, physical security and public safety.”
The company’s robots are operating across the country’s five continental time zones, and Li noted in the fireside interview that the company has arrived at a point in its history where “every issue that we’ve got in the building we can fix with people, cash and time.” While some competitors have arisen over the years and more may yet arise, Li said, “At this point, I think we’re the worldwide leader and hope to maintain that leadership.”

Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) president and CEO Amir Adnani was featured on a recent episode of The Bell2Bell Podcast (https://ibn.fm/6mYtD), a podcast series focused on providing informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives leading companies that are operating in fast-moving industries. Under Adnani’s guidance, Uranium Energy advanced from concept to U.S. production in its first five years of operation; UEC currently has an extensive pipeline of low-cost, near-term production projects.
“Uranium Energy Corp. is a U.S.-focused developer of uranium projects using the low-cost and environmentally friendly in-situ recovery (‘ISR’) method,” said Adnani during the podcast as he provided an overview of the company’s business model. “In South Texas, we have our hub and spoke strategy. This is anchored by our fully licensed Hobson Processing Facility, one of only a few uranium processing plants in the country. We have a number of projects . . . which will be a source of U.S.-mined uranium.”
In addition to discussing the company’s business model, Adnani touched on recent company news, specifically talking about the company’s plans moving forward as the United States looks to decrease its reliance on carbon-based fuels. “Uranium is used for generating electricity in nuclear power plants, and 55% of U.S. carbon-free energy comes from nuclear power,” he said, noting that almost all of the uranium currently needed in the country to fuel reactors is coming from foreign sources.
“We have completely lost the ability to mine uranium in the U.S. from domestic sources,” he continued. “You and I both know the importance of local sources of vital needs, be it energy sources, be it masks, be it pharmaceuticals. So what we’re trying to do is to really rebuild and restart the domestic foundation to mine uranium — the fuel that is needed to run our 94 reactors in this country.”
During the interview, Adnani talked about the federal government’s bipartisan support of a U.S. Uranium Reserve and the allocation of funds to purchase uranium produced by U.S. mines, noting that he’d never seen such a move in his extensive experience in the industry. “[UEC] is getting ready to supply uranium to the global market and this new U.S. reserve,” he noted, pointing to the company’s Burke Hollow project, located in Texas. Burke Hollow’s initial production area is the newest and largest ISR well field being developed in the country (https://ibn.fm/6Br4k).
“We need to have a foundation to mine uranium domestically in the United States,” Adnani stated. “We’re rising to that occasion as a company. As a company we are today, at our Burke Hollow project… currently building one of the largest production areas currently in the United States…We have rigs on the property, we’ve got local staff, our team. We’re hiring locally. We’re creating jobs and adding to the economic development of the local communities that we’re in, in Texas…These are incredible opportunities, because not only are we creating local jobs…we’re also tying it back to developing the ability to mine uranium domestically. And again, this dovetails strategically with our plans to be a key supplier to the U.S Uranium Reserve.”
Adnani also talked about the strength of the company’s portfolio, which includes projects in Texas, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, as well as Canada and Paraguay, noting that the company looks to be ideally positioned as the market looks to expand and grow.
Uranium Energy Corp. is a U.S.-based uranium mining and exploration company that controls one of the country’s largest historical uranium exploration and development databases. Founded in 2003, UEC is headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas.

MustGrow Biologics (CSE: MGRO) (OTCQX: MGROF) (FRA: 0C0) has released study findings that confirm that the active ingredient in its mustard plant-based technology actually has a positive impact on soil health (https://ibn.fm/uLwuc). The studies have found that an application of the natural ingredient Allyl Isothiocyanate (“AITC”) returns organic plant material to the soil and contributes to the environmental and ecological security of the plant-based food supply as well as the planet generally.
“The active ingredient, AITC, in MustGrow’s mustard plant-based technology is perfect for use in modern, more sustainable pest control strategies,” said MustGrow scientific advisor Dr. Matthew J. Morra. “A biopesticide that is effective, dissipates quickly, leaves no harmful residues, and once gone, improves the soil ecosystem.” A professor emeritus of soil biochemistry at the University of Idaho, Morra is a leading world expert on products derived from oilseeds; he also has impressive expertise in developing mustard-based biopesticides.
Highlights from the study, which was separate from MustGrow, indicate that an application of AITC returns organic plant material to the soil, improves the environmental and ecological security of the planet, and creates a healthy microbial ecological environment for soil, which increases beneficial bacteria. In addition, AITC dissipates from the soil quickly, thereby eliminating any potential long-term toxicity to microorganisms.
The potential impact of MustGrow’s biopesticide on the soil cannot be overlooked. Soil micro-organisms play a crucial role in soil fertility and plant health. The use of synthetic chemicals in soil fumigation has been proven to harm beneficial micro-organisms, fungi and bacteria in the soil, actually creating a negative impact on soil fertility, plant health and nutrient transformation. So the now-verified positive impact that AITC has on soil is significant. Studies and research done on AITC have consistently concluded that the ingredient has a positive effect on the environmental and ecological security of the planet.
MustGrow’s remarkably safe and effective natural biopesticide is plant based, derived from the mustard seed’s natural defense mechanism to control diseases, pests and weeds with an organic food-grade biopesticide. The product is applied to the soil before seeds are planted. There is a growing interest in safe, effective, and plant-based biopesticides as farmers, consumers and investors alike become more aware of and committed to natural alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides.
An agriculture biotech company, MustGrow is focused on providing natural, science-based biological solutions for high-value crops such as fruits and vegetables. The company is ideally positioned to leverage the growing momentum favoring alternatives to synthetic chemicals. As global agriculture looks to move closer to sustainable ways of boosting yields and crop protection, MustGrow continues to position itself as an essential part of the food landscape of the future with its mustard plant-based biopesticide.

United Medical Equipment Business Solutions Network is a company focused on the needs of aging patients and veteran communities as well as those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. United is a trusted supplier of FDA-approved antibody and antigen test kits, medical equipment and personal protective equipment (“PPE”). As the world attempts to control this pandemic, it is essential to quickly identify who is infected and who has already been infected. Antibody testing determines whether or not a patient has had COVID-19 in the past while antigen testing determines whether or not a patient currently has COVID-19.
An antibody test can help determine how many people have had and recovered from COVID-19. This includes those that were asymptomatic. Since individuals are presenting various symptoms, ranging from no symptoms to full respiratory failure, symptoms alone cannot accurately confirm if someone has been infected. Antibody tests have limited use in detection but help to determine accurate case numbers and research into immunity.
The antigen rapid test allows for quick diagnosis that can help curb the spread of the virus. Antigens are a specific protein that sits on the surface of the virus. These rapid tests identify antigens when the individual is contagious. That individual can then be placed into quarantine, stopping the spread of the virus (https://ibn.fm/xB6J7).
The FDA-approved CareStart(TM) COVID-19 Antigen Rapid POC test is part of United’s answer in combating the spread of the virus. The test is administered by medical professionals to detect COVID-19 antigens. This test identifies acute infection with 88.4% sensitivity and 100% specificity, and helps provide critical answers about active infections to patients and healthcare workers alike (https://ibn.fm/Q8js4).
United moved quickly to address the growing needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to providing test kits, COVID-19 supplies and products (https://ibn.fm/KgD8i), and PPE equipment with flexible payment options, the company has acted as a trusted senior referral source for independent living, assisted living, hospice, memory care, skilled nursing and senior care centers.
Throughout 2020 and into 2021, the elderly have been particularly vulnerable to this pandemic. United is dedicated to providing guidance for the aging population, their families, and the medical community that serves them.

The rare earth elements (“REE”) market continues to be of interest for investors and governments around the world amid the heightened uncertainty due to trade restrictions out of China and increased demand for REE magnets, according to an article published by “Investing News Network” (https://ibn.fm/HfbHa). The sector provides the critical metals required for clean energy technologies and electronics that penetrates many segments of both the consumer and business spaces. As the country’s largest uranium producer and the leading critical minerals producer, Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) has entered the REE space, committed to domestically supplying another critical mineral needed to making the new Biden Administration’s clean energy goals a reality.
After the initial hit to prices in the first half of 2020 as lockdowns and containment measures in China impacted the global supply chains, the REE space rebounded strongly in the second half of the year. And it appears that the sector’s growth will not stop there.
REEs, used in many tech devices and clean energy technologies such as smartphones, wind turbines and electric vehicles, will be critical for the sector over the next decade. Although REE’s supply and demand dynamics are still uncertain due to the pandemic, most analysts are optimistic for 2021 and beyond.
The push for the sector comes as Western countries continue to create supply chains less dependent on China. The article cites David Merriman of Roskill, a commodity research firm, who expects electric and hybrid vehicles’ drivetrains and wind turbine — which all use rare earth permanent magnets — to drive the sector’s robust growth for the remainder of the decade. For example, it is expected that REE demand for automotive applications will grow around 26.5% year-on-year in 2021.
Adamas Intelligence, a research firm focused on strategic metals and minerals, also expects demand to bounce back for nearly all end-use categories for rare earth elements in 2021. Global passenger battery EV, plug-in hybrid EV and hybrid EV sales are expected to drive the growth, increasing collectively by 20 to 40% year over year.
In April 2020, UUUU set out to penetrate the REE market as a complement to its core uranium product lines. Since the announcement of the expansion into REE business, the company has made significant strides, quickly becoming an emerging player in the space. Its initial goal is to enter the commercial REE business in H1 2021 and to supply up to 50% of U.S. rare earth demand contained in a mixed REE concentrate over the next few years.
The company also has plans to install REE separation, and perhaps additional downstream capabilities, over the next few years. The ambitious plans are to be achieved with the company’s existing infrastructure (https://ibn.fm/XhQAQ). With its expansion into the growing REE market and all debt paid off last year, the company is leveraging a robust business model that allows it to be well positioned to capitalize on the increasing momentum for the REE space.
