• As a technology breakthrough, AI is recognized as a powerful ally along the entire energy value chain for a cleaner, safer, more sustainable future
• AI benefits span all areas: plant design, operation and predictive maintenance, grid management and safety; It provides flexibility to the electricity system and helps it to become more sustainable
• Turbo Energy aims for international expansion with its advanced AI-driven Sunbox, optimizing residential solar energy usage and planning to enter industrial and commercial markets

Turbo Energy (NASDAQ: TURB), a NASDAQ-listed European innovator designing, developing, and manufacturing photovoltaic energy generation, management, and storage equipment, stands to benefit as the world rushes to find solutions to urgent environmental challenges. Global warming intensifies as human activities continue to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and poor industrial, livestock, and agricultural practices contribute to over 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, a new global record hit in 2022. This alarming trend triggers environmental consequences extending beyond rising temperatures (https://ibn.fm/5o5nn).

Today’s energy model requires a fundamental shift known as energy transition, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies are essential for this transformation throughout the energy value chain. In the sector, AI has emerged as a key technology from the initial stages, even before any energy is produced. For example, when determining suitable sites for wind or solar plants, AI provides valuable insights into resource availability, plant efficiency, and potential risks related to soil characteristics or extreme weather events.

Once a renewable plant is built and the power starts being generated, AI optimizes renewable energy production, prevents outages, and substantially reduces costs and plant downtime through predictive monitoring deployed to forecast plant failure risk.

Recent AI breakthroughs also help energy companies balance power supply and demand dynamically, manage distributed energy resources, and lower consumer bills. Because AI can provide more accurate and reliable weather forecasts, it generates better estimates of the expected renewable energy production. For example, Open Climate Fix’s transformer-based models trained on satellite data have improved predictions of solar energy generation in the U.K. by threefold, reducing reliance on fossil fuels (https://ibn.fm/MaSH8).

Upon production, electricity requires transportation and distribution. Smart grids, or those powered by AI, are more flexible, efficient, and reliable as they cross-reference forecasts of the volumes that can be generated by wind and solar plants with AI-generated estimates of demand (https://ibn.fm/BrFsV). Managing electricity storage, a key component to compensate for the intermittency inherent in renewables, becomes more effective. Reducing generation costs makes renewables more competitive, benefiting both customers and the environment.

In industrial facilities, it identifies areas for energy efficiency improvement and helps prevent environmental risks by detecting abnormalities in real time. Combined with robots and drones, AI enables safer, more efficient, and more effective inspections in environments previously deemed difficult.

Boasting cutting-edge products labeled as “the market’s most advanced AI-driven energy management system,” Turbo Energy makes no secret of its ambitious goals. In this dynamic landscape of AI-driven green energy, the company aims to position itself as a key player with a bold mission “to protect the world from energy and economic crises.” Turbo Energy recently released its flagship product, Sunbox, an all-in-one device for residential solar installations powered by AI capable of connecting to everything. Sunbox’s software analyzes energy data, optimizes battery usage, reduces bills, and provides peak-use reduction and uninterruptible power supply functions. With the 2023 launch of higher-power Sunbox models, Turbo Energy plans to expand Sunbox internationally into industrial and commercial markets.

———————

Jonathan: Thank you all for joining us for our latest podcast episode with Charlie. He is the managing director of DealFlow Events, which has hosted hundreds of in-person and virtual events covering a wide array of business and investment topics.

Charlie, thank you so much for joining us today. I’m excited about this interview and the timing is perfect now that we’re entering a whole new year filled with events.

Charlie: Yeah, thanks Jonathan, for having me on. I appreciate it and I’m happy to be here and tell you more about The Microcap Conference and more about DealFlow Events.

But, yeah, I’m Charlie Napolitano. I’ve been with the company for seven years and DealFlow Events has been around now for 21 years since 2003. DealFlow focuses on events in the capital markets and we’ve been focused on that for 21 years with events taking place globally. And we’re excited for this next event that we have coming up January 30^th through February 1^st, which is called The Microcap Conference, in Atlantic City.

Jonathan: Great. So why did you all decide to launch a microcap conference?

Charlie: Yeah, you know, it’s something we’ve been thinking about for quite a while. And we’ve always been looking for the right time and the right place to host it. And now personally, I go to Atlantic City 5-6 times a year. I’m a big poker guy and when I was down there, it just kind of felt like an untapped resource. I hadn’t been to a large event there, but the spaces there are just so beautiful. The hotels are so nice right now, and I felt like it would be a place where people can go and enjoy themselves.

Simultaneously, we were looking into conferences in the micro-cap space, and we just felt like we had value to add there. As an event company, whose sole purpose is to bring people together into one space, we felt like in the Northeast, we could host something, bring value and bring people to what I think is a great place to have fun.

Jonathan: Awesome. And how can investors make the most of their time while they are at your microcap conference?

Charlie: Yeah, that’s a great question. I think the first thing that investors can do is they can take a look at the presenting companies on the website.  Or now, investors who have registered can go into MeetMax and start scheduling meetings with these companies. They’ll be able to log in, get the bio of each company, the ticker symbol, and I think the best thing is to spend a little time learning about each one of the companies, visit their website, see who their IR teams are and see which ones are going to fit into their portfolio and the companies that they like to invest in. They can, right away, schedule time to sit with those people before their calendars fill up.

I think that we are making it as easy as possible to get people down there. Specifically, buses running from Midtown Manhattan to Atlantic City that any investor can hop on free of charge. The room blocks there are just $79 a night. All the rooms there are beautiful and renovated at Caesar’s. So, I suggest that people stay there.

And other than the one-on-one meetings, we do have companies presenting as well. I think that investors would find value from sitting down and hearing from these companies in that setting and then obviously tons of networking. So, come meet with companies, but there will be other people that they can network and meet with, as well, people who can help with their future investments. I hope that they’ll meet with them as well during our launch party, wild west after party, and our poker tournament.

Jonathan: Well, while doing my own preparation, I noticed you have all different types of microcap companies. So, if you want, please give a little bit of an overview on that maybe next.

Charlie: Yeah. So, the companies that people can expect to see there range from market caps of $30 million to $500 million. We have a couple that are as high as $900 million, and we have some that are in the $10-12 million range, which we found were interesting companies and good growth opportunities.

And, we have a really wide range of sectors – we weren’t sector specific for companies. So, you can find ones that are in healthcare, information technology, consumer, fintech, energy and many others that you will see on the website.

Jonathan: And then you also have a programming portion of the event. Let’s hear a little bit more about that.

Charlie: Yeah, so that’s fundamental to DealFlow Events. We’ve always put a strong focus on our programming, putting together cutting-edge education and bringing thought leaders together to share their experiences on specific topics, and The Microcap Conference isn’t any different from our other events, in this respect.

So, we put together some great panels and keynote presentations. Investors will be able to learn about investment strategies, and I think the issuers will be able to learn about doing a capital raise with PIPEs, learning about different IPO strategies, and things like that. We’ll have speakers there like Peter Schiff and a lot of other great speakers, as well.

Jonathan: That’s incredible. So, what else would set your event apart from similar ones from event organizers in the space and how do attendees benefit from participating at your event specifically?

Charlie: Yeah, another great question. I would say that as an event organization our primary goal is always the experience of our attendees from the second that they register, to the event itself, and beyond. We like to make things as seamless and easy as possible. I hope that that comes through to people through our website design and just the way that we interact with our attendees. Somebody’s always here to answer a question as quickly as possible.

At the event itself, we like to ensure that everything is organized and people are getting a great value, specifically, receiving valuable information that they can’t get anywhere else. Also, people will find the one-on-one meetings are structured well with quality companies and investors that are definitely worth speaking with.

Jonathan: And, while we’re here, can you give us a walkthrough of your entire 2024 events timeline as it exists right now? I’m sure you’ll probably find some ways to expand it, but also, is there anything else you want to share with the audience – maybe what to expect going forward through this year?

Charlie: Yeah, definitely. I’d love to see your listeners come to our other events, as well. We have the Venture Debt Conference taking place in New York City on March 6th. We’ve got the Activist Investor Conference taking place in New York City on March 21st. We have the SPAC Conference taking place at the Westchester Country Club on June 11th and 12th, followed by the Reg A Conference taking place on June 13th also at the Westchester Country Club. And we’ll have some more events taking place in the fall that we’ll announce in the next month or so. And anybody who physically attends The Microcap Conference will see that we have plenty of promotions for the sign up and attendance of future events.

Jonathan: Incredible. Well, thank you so much for joining us, Charlie. From the very first event we attended, we’ve always been impressed with your team’s conferences. You really have an amazing line up for this year and we look forward to seeing you in Atlantic City soon.

Charlie: Yeah, same here. Can’t wait to have you guys. Thanks.

• Significant improvements in both vision and cognition, sustained over three years, were reported with CNM-Au8 treatment in results from the long-term open-label extension (“LTE”) of the VISIONARY-MS trial in participants with stable relapsing multiple sclerosis
• Michael Barnett, a key clinical advisor, hailed the results, observed long term and over and above background therapy. as “unprecedented”
• A drug that may halt MS disease progression or improve function on top of standard-of-care MS therapies would represent a significant milestone in drug development for this disease
• Clene will present the full clinical results for the LTE at the ninth annual Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis Forum scheduled for February 29 through March 2, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida

Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Clene Nanomedicine Inc., is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and multiple sclerosis (“MS”). The company recently reported new CNM-Au8(R) results from a long-term open-label extension (“LTE”) of the VISIONARY-MS trial in participants with stable relapsing multiple sclerosis (“RMS”) totaling nearly three years of follow-up (https://ibn.fm/bBbjI).

Clene is closely studying CNM-Au8 because a drug that may halt MS disease progression and may even improve function on top of standard-of-care MS therapies would represent a milestone achievement in drug development for this disease.

After completing the double-blind period, study participants were offered continuance of CNM-Au8 30mg for up to an additional 96 weeks in the LTE. Analyses were reported for the modified intent to treat population that included all study participants with valid clinical data. Clene noted that:

• Low contrast vision acuity (“LCVA”) demonstrated sustained improvement by up to 38 letters across both eyes in individual participants, representing multiple row gains on a greyed-out MS eye chart.
• Cognitive improvement, particularly working memory and information processing speed as tested using the symbol digit modality test (“SDMT”), showed improvement by up to 35 points in individual participants, where a three-point change in cognitive processing speed has been deemed notable in other MS studies.
• Improvements demonstrated during the 48-week double-blind period were sustained in the LTE for the timed 25-foot walk and nine-hole peg tests.

CNM-Au8 is used in combination with other agents, has no known drug-drug interactions, and is designed to improve function in MS.

Clinical effects improving both function and survival were seen in an earlier ALS trial, using the same drug.

Professor Michael Barnett, Professor of Neurology, Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney, and one of the trial’s key clinical advisors, said, the observed long-term clinical improvements for participants with stable disease, over and above background immunomodulatory disease-modifying therapy, are unprecedented. “The data show clear overall improvements in vision and cognition for participants treated for nearly three years from randomization. Importantly, these results were robust and consistent,” Barnett added. “Positive impacts on disease progression and the potential to at least partially reverse established disability, if confirmed in a larger study, represent a major therapeutic leap for patients with MS.”

Placebo participants who transitioned to CNM-Au8 during the LTE showed significant improvements compared to the original baseline in LCLA and SDMT, generally consistent with the increase observed in participants originally randomized to Clene’s lead asset.

Dr. Benjamin Greenberg, M.D., Head of Medicine at Clene, underscored the idea that despite tremendous advances in immunotherapies for MS, there is a significant unmet need for treatments to prevent neurodegeneration and create opportunities for clinical improvement. “These data continue to build a strong case in favor of pursuing CNM-Au8 in upcoming Phase 3 studies. Clinically significant improvement is rarely seen in MS patients, and this trial provides evidence of CNM-Au8’s potential to improve function in this population,” Greenberg said. “Clene is currently reviewing these data with prospective pharmaceutical partners interested in MS.”

Clene will present the full clinical results for the LTE at the ninth annual Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (“ACTRIMS”) Forum scheduled for February 29 through March 2, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida.

• SuperCom Ltd. is a digital security solutions innovator focused on revolutionizing public safety around the world through the use of technology, data intelligence and complementary services
• SuperCom’s PureSecurity Suite is used in dozens of projects worldwide, mostly by governmental agencies, for electronic monitoring of criminal suspects and convicted offenders, including those involved in domestic violence cases
• One recent report noted that millions of people were affected by domestic violence in the United States during 2022. Additionally, a burgeoning number of cases were observed in the island nation of Jamaica during that year, leading to the implementation of a new protective law there
• Electronic monitoring is also at the heart of a program established by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to improve and expand its oversight of millions of people caught in the immigration system

A report by news magazine Caribbean National Weekly (Law Alone Will Not Curb Domestic Violence) this month highlighted the growing incidents of domestic violence both in the Caribbean and in the United States, and how laws alone are not enough (https://ibn.fm/D4yI1). “What law can effectively prevent people from trying to control others, control where they go, when to go and with whom they go, and even what they wear when they go?”

Jamaica, in particular, has been reeling from a surge in domestic violence, according to the report. More than 2,500 men and 6,200 women sought assistance from the island nation’s Domestic Violence Intervention Centers (“DVICs”) in 2022, prompting the passage of a new law to provide support for victims.

The report also noted that there were an estimated 10 million cases of domestic abuse in the United States that year, resulting in the death toll of thousands of victims.

Electronic-monitoring security solutions developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is committed to advancing public safety through technology, as exemplified by the company’s suite of products for the electronic monitoring (“EM”) of criminal offenders, which is widely used by dozens of governmental clients presently.

Those court-supervised EM programs include a contract announced in December for SuperCom’s GPS tracking and domestic violence offender monitoring solutions in communities across the state of Kentucky (https://ibn.fm/MdQrm).

Domestic violence concerns, of course, exist worldwide. In October, the government of Romania placed a third order for SuperCom’s products to support its domestic violence monitoring, GPS Tracking of offenders, and home detention monitoring efforts. Overall, the country has awarded the company a $33 million project (https://ibn.fm/dcvyC).

“This new contract allows us to bring our advanced technology to more communities and aid in the crucial work of domestic violence prevention and offender monitoring,” SuperCom CEO and President Ordan Trabelsi stated in the December announcement. “Leveraging our growing customer base and technology expertise, we plan to continue developing and providing advanced solutions that meet the evolving needs in our industry and help enhance public safety worldwide.”

SuperCom’s PureSecurity Suite includes technological advances that undergird its support network for EM programs, such as smartphone integration, secure communication, advanced security, anti-tamper mechanisms, fingerprint biometrics, voice communication, unique touch screens, and extended battery life.

Electronic monitoring is being adapted to the criminal justice system’s needs in various ways. Private prison companies are contemplating potential profits from expanding electronic monitoring of immigrants under the supervision of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) agency.

In August, ICE announced plans to improve the agency’s oversight of people going through immigration proceedings by using EM in the agency’s new Release and Reporting Management program.

The program currently keeps tabs on nearly 200,000 immigrants using technologies like ankle bracelets and facial-recognition apps, but could expand to track millions of people caught in the immigration system, according to The Lever (https://ibn.fm/lMQA4).

SuperCom announced its Q3 financial results in November, stating that revenues grew 67 percent year-over-year between 2022 and 2023, leading to a 74 percent growth in gross profit margins and 550 percent growth in EBITDA (https://ibn.fm/LN88z).

• Whilst the European Union has been hugely successful in growing its renewable energy generation capacity, the bloc’s energy storage infrastructure has yet to catch up
• Turbo Energy’s innovative product offering has sought to address this concern for households, providing consumers with an all-in-one AI-powered energy storage solution
• AI is playing an increasingly transformative role within advanced energy storage technologies, helping consumers optimize their energy usage and maximize savings

During the depths of the European winter in 2022, renewable energy sources generated more of the EU’s energy than fossil fuels for the first time ever. Coal power usage fell by 11 percent and gas by 13 percent despite initial fears that regional countries would have to resort to extensive coal usage as the bloc tried to wean itself off its historical dependence on Russian gas. Nonetheless and remarkably – among the 18 European countries that still utilize coal power as a source of energy, 15 reduced their coal generation in 2022.

A key factor underpinning this trend has been the increased prominence of renewable energy sources – and crucially, renewable energy storage technologies. Renewable energy sources account for close to 40 percent of the European Union’s energy generation capacity; in 2022 alone, 41GW of solar power generation capacity was added to the European grid, the equivalent of fully powering 2.7mn households for a year (https://ibn.fm/taBfl). Nevertheless, energy storage technologies and capacity have lagged far behind generation capacity in terms of uptake. Increasingly relevant to supplement electricity supply at times of peak usage (or absorb generation capacity when electricity demand declines) and shield against the vagaries of weather condition, energy storage capacity in the EU at present is a mere 60GW – with studies suggesting that storage capacity will need to increase to up to 191GW in 2030 and 486 GW in 2050 to make efficient use of renewable energy sources (https://ibn.fm/DXWeY).

Turbo Energy (NASDAQ: TURB), a designer, developer and manufacturer of photovoltaic energy generation, management, and storage equipment has sought to address this issue within the rapidly growing residential solar market in Europe. The company’s ‘SunBox Home’ system encompasses an all-in-one AI-powered energy storage solution, designed to assist households in managing their power consumption. Directly linked to a household’s solar panel generation unit, the SunBox system allows users to choose between settings including ‘maximum consumption’ or ‘maximum savings’, conserve a portion of its energy reserves in the event of unexpected electricity blackouts or rather, sell excess power back onto the grid.  The groundbreaking energy storage system additionally boasts the capacity to track weather forecasts, thus ensuring its batteries are fully charged in the event of a storm (https://ibn.fm/6k8Gs).

Artificial intelligence, as harnessed by Turbo Energy’s innovative energy storage systems, is playing an increasingly transformative role in advancing energy storage technologies, optimizing battery performance, and improving the overall effectiveness of these technologies (https://ibn.fm/tiHpx).

Whether it relates to the optimization of charging and discharging cycles to maximize energy storage system performance; making use of predictive maintenance models to anticipate potential defects leading to performance degradation; predict energy consumption patterns by analyzing historical data; or helping maintain grid stability through frequency regulation and voltage control, AI has the potential to play an increasingly important role in driving Europe’s ongoing transition towards renewable energy technologies. As both, a leading European purveyor of household solar energy systems as well an early mover in the inclusion of generative AI technologies within its revolutionary renewable energy storage solutions, Turbo Energy are well placed to play an increasingly prominent role in fueling Europe’s renewable energy evolution going forward.

• The distribution agreement between Sekur and Advanced Vision Smart Solutions is valid for 24 months with renewal options for 12-month periods
• A second partnership agreement between Sekur and a United Arab Emirates family aims to introduce Sekur’s products to various government and business organizations throughout the country
• Advanced Vision Smart Solutions will act as the technical support representative and the sales support for all businesses the second partner brings

Sekur Private Data (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FRA: GDT0), a cybersecurity and internet privacy provider of Swiss-hosted solutions for secure and private communications, recently announced the signing of a major distribution agreement with a distributor in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) to distribute the entire Sekur private and encrypted communications platform. The agreement is the third of its kind in the Middle East Gulf region since the Israel-Gaza conflict (https://ibn.fm/xs74p).

The distribution agreement was signed with Advanced Vision Smart Solutions (“AVSS”), a UAE corporation from Abu Dhabi, and is valid for 24 months, with renewal options for additional 12-month periods. The agreement between Sekur and AVSS covers all of the UAE, and in addition to reselling Sekur’s solutions, AVSS will also act as its technical support representative.

Sekur is also in the process of signing an important partnership agreement with one of the main families of the UAE, based in Abu Dhabi. The partnership aims to introduce Sekur to several organizations in the UAE, including municipalities, Free Zones (“FZ”), financial organizations, energy and services enterprises, government organizations, and the telecom operator Etisalat. AVSS will serve as the sales support for all businesses the second partner brings.

Regional conflicts, like the Israel-Gaza conflict, make the region susceptible to cyberattacks – with more than 71 million thwarted during 2023, as reported by UAE’s The National (https://ibn.fm/EB1fR). Sekur can stop these attacks because the company’s systems do not use third-party big tech cloud or open coding, where most hackers succeed in hacking data. Sekur’s platform stores customer information in Switzerland using military-grade security. The company chose Switzerland because of the country’s neutrality, independence, strong privacy laws, long-standing political stability, and excellent international relations.

Sekur CEO Alain Ghiai said the company was very excited to have signed the distribution agreement for the UAE with Advanced Vision, and is expecting to sign the second partnership agreement in the UAE very soon. “The region is a hotbed of instability, and cyber warfare is now part of that instability and is showing signs of increased activity, since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out,” Ghiai said. “Fortunately, we can offer the only Swiss-hosted, proprietary, private, and secure communications platform that does not rely on big tech infrastructure, reducing exponentially the risk of cyber penetration for businesses and governments in the region.”

The Sekur CEO also expressed his conviction that SekurMessenger, SekurMail, and SekurVPN for enterprises will succeed with governments, telecom operators, and enterprises like banks and energy enterprises. Sekur’s prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and since the company is not connected to any Big Tech platform, it can offer a truly independent, private, and secure means of communications, without any data mining, through its proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland, Ghiai further explained. “We look forward to offering true private and secure communications to our new clients in the UAE and to protect their intellectual property and privacy from data miners, malicious hackers and rogue states.”

Since adding SekurVPN and customized “à la carte” bundles for customers and businesses, Sekur reports that approximately 50% of all customers have been buying bundles, with 60% purchasing SekurVPN in the bundle on its own. SekurVPN is easy to set up and deploy, with no country list and a simplified interface. It is currently available to use with MacOS, iOS, and Android devices. In the coming weeks, the company plans to launch Windows 64, Windows 32, and Linux versions.

NOTE TO INVESTORS: The latest news and updates relating to SWISF are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/SWISF

• The infrastructure of a modern blockchain-based digital economy has been growing for years, and recent developments tying digital tokens to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulatory enforcement have helped increase investor confidence in their safeguards
• Utah-based Diamond Lake Minerals is establishing vertically integrated, industry-agnostic subsidiaries that help provide a transparent and secure entry point into the digital economy for still-wary investors
• DLMI’s approach is to build its subsidiary portfolio across numerous sectors ranging from medical to entertainment while imbuing each subsidiary with security tokens, enabling investors to bridge the divide between traditional and digital holdings in a natural way
• Security token offerings have been trending as investors have sized up their confidence-building advantages over digital initial coin offerings that don’t maintain compliance with the U.S. securities laws

After the recent SEC approval of spot bitcoin ETFs, allowing retail customers to move into the growing crypto market in a more regulated and structured environment, it’s important to point out that Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI) has been at the forefront of digital securities vending into traditional securities. The company is positioning itself as a leader in the digital asset and security token space. Their primary focus is industry agnostic on the development and support of SEC-registered security tokens.

Security tokens are not the same as tokenized securities. Tokenized securities function the same way as traditional off-chain securities, except that they can be stored, sold, and exchanged on blockchain networks. By contrast, security tokens combine Distributed Ledger Technology with new features that are dependent on the specific design of each particular token.

Digital securities, also known as security tokens, have seen significant upward momentum during the past couple of years, providing a secure and transparent means of investing and raising funds. Real estate, precious stones and metals, natural resources, and private equity have all discovered the potential for streamlining transactions and fractionalizing asset ownership for small investors in their sectors (https://ibn.fm/BoPdb).

Diamond Lake is developing an evolutionary approach to security token offerings (“STOs”) — attaching them to the numerous subsidiaries the company holds in a wide range of sectors to make STO investing more palatable and accessible to investors who are comfortable with traditional offerings but still wary of the digital offerings many analysts herald as the future of the marketplace.

STOs have taken on some of their importance as investors have analyzed the differences between them and digital initial coin offerings (“ICOs”) that don’t maintain compliance with the U.S. securities laws that provide investors with legal protections against fraud and with a heightened sense of transaction transparency.

The industry reports the STO market cap surged from $374 million to approximately $1 billion between December 2020 and September 2021 — an astronomical growth rate of 2,670 percent. And between April 2021 and April 2022, STO trading volumes grew by 386 percent and the market cap grew by 2,650 percent, as noted by Singapore’s News Direct (https://ibn.fm/8cjd5).

Diamond Lake Minerals has established its subsidiaries’ STO elements through a partnership with SEC security token exchange INX. The exchange operates under a strict regulatory framework, adhering to guidelines set by various U.S. regulators to help deliver confidence to all market participants, the company’s website states (https://ibn.fm/DCjEs).

The INX Token was the first SEC-registered security token to IPO on the blockchain, and it relies on the checks and balances developed in traditional economic environs to provide a secure trading experience for all traders.

“I believe DLMI is the hybrid missing piece to get generational wealth, or the wealth on the sidelines,” CEO Brian J.

• MTPP secured 70% of the acquisition and 100% of the construction costs for Hamptons development projects
• Target returns estimated at 20-30% per transaction with an anticipated timeline of 15-18 months for each project
• Recently filed Regulation A offering to raise $10 million
• Highly diversified portfolio includes investments in PropTech and mixed-use properties

Mountain Top Properties (OTC: MTPP), a diversified real estate holding company, has recently secured debt capital commitments covering 70% of the acquisition and 100% of the construction costs for its Hamptons development projects.

“The old adage in real estate is ‘location, location, location’,” said Joseph Kelley, CEO of On Site Builder Construction, during a joint interview with MTTP CEO Beau Kelley on IBN’s Bell2Bell Podcast (https://ibn.fm/ra1m4).

“We have some of the most premier locations for building these high-end types of homes that probably exist in the country, if not the world.”

For most people, the Hamptons don’t need an introduction. The exclusive enclave of high-end mansions, luxury boutiques, and upmarket restaurants is known worldwide, yet accessible to few. Located just a few short hours from New York City, the area’s housing demand outstrips its precious supply – no matter what conditions prevail in the market.

MTPP recently partnered with On-Site Builder Construction Co. Inc. to acquire and develop projects in the Hamptons. Over the last 40 years, On Site Builder Construction has built 60+ exquisitely designed, uber-luxurious custom houses in the region. Varying in style from classic mansions to ultra-modern glass-encased compounds, many of these homes have captured the public’s imagination through mainstream print and television media.

Through its subsidiary Mountain Top Capital Fund I, MTPP aims to raise $75 million to renovate and remarket properties in the Hamptons, using $10 million to explore additional opportunities in the area. The estimated target return for each investment is 20-30% with an anticipated timeline of 15-18 months for each transaction.

MTPP has additionally filed a Regulation A offering to raise up to $10 million through the issuance of common stock. The minimum purchase requirement for the offering is 50,000 shares or $5,000 per investor. The common stock will not be listed on any securities exchange, and there are no plans for a future listing.

Mountain Top Properties diversifies its portfolio through investments in property technology (PropTech) and acquiring mixed-use real estate in the tri-state area. A recent example is an investment in HQXpress: a blockchain-enabled industrial and warehouse flex space company that provides flexible retail, commercial, and industrial space on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis (https://ibn.fm/8NEdA).

MTPP additionally secured a property lease near Harrisburg and Reading, PA, with convenient access to major corridors. The prime location includes a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use building, 14,400 square feet of refinished office space, and two single-family homes across five acres.

“This company is really focused on two main sectors, which are real estate/real property development and property technology,” said Beau Kelley. “We see that the property technology side of things is really a massive, growing opportunity to be able to expedite finance and payment methods and shipping routes, and so many things that we can help out from a logistics standpoint.”

“On the real estate side, this has been an opportunity that my father and I have talked about for a long time – bringing the capital markets opportunities into his building business.”

Incorporated in 1990, Mountain Top Properties Inc. operates at the intersection of traditional real estate development, property management, and PropTech innovation. The company is headquartered in Liverpool, New York with a presence in Sag Harbor, New York.
