GeoSolar Technologies Inc. Offers Potentially Ground-Breaking Solution as the World Goes Through Arguably Most Important Transition Ever

  • In recent interview, Stone Douglass, CEO and Chairman of GeoSolar Technologies, discusses how his prior work drove him to lead company that seeks to revolutionize how homes are electrified
  • GeoSolar’s game-changing technology can provide cheaper, quieter, and more comfortable homes with better air quality
  • As seasoned professional, Douglass appears confident that GeoSolar represents interesting investment opportunity amid major shift from fossil fuel-driven to clean, all-electric future — the transition he calls most important in human history
As energy transition gains momentum and a switch from carbon-based to clean electric living takes place, an attractive investment opportunity emerges for any company that tackles the climate crisis – believes Stone Douglass, CEO and Chairman of Colorado-based GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”) (https://ibn.fm/JXP2s). And Douglass should know a thing or two about spotting business opportunities as they emerge. At first sight, his career path may not seem typical for a person in charge of a company seeking to revolutionize how we heat, cool, cook, and power homes with 100% sustainable energy sources. Seemingly unrelated, his beginnings were on Wall Street, where he worked towards an investment banking career. But this experience gave him a unique opportunity to work with a broad range of small companies and broaden his expertise across different verticals. As he worked with a myriad of small companies – for which he claims there were virtually no two from the same business – he soon developed what appears to be a sophisticated commercial sense that can differentiate between compelling business opportunities and ones that are not. He found success in assisting companies to turn things around and become valuable for their shareholders, which helped him realize that there was a recurring theme at play when it comes to struggling businesses. “They didn’t have a clear definition of what their market is and how to sell the product profitably to that market. They were tackling it based on their expertise of the product without analyzing the receptiveness of the market,” he explained. This valuable experience allowed him to sharpen his cross-sectoral understanding of what works in business, so when he was introduced to GeoSolar Technologies, he was quick to recognize the Company’s growth potential. However, to continue the revolution that Douglass believed could change the world as we know it, the Company needed his financial expertise to capitalize on this growing market opportunity – and that’s when he joined as CEO and Chairman of the board. The electric home is far superior to fossil fuel-powered homes – it’s cheaper, quieter, and more comfortable, with better air quality. It’s a win for everyone — except the utilities and oil companies, Douglass is confident. And not less important, electric homes tend to be more valuable on resale. Against this backdrop, it is no surprise that the number of consumers seeking to switch to greener alternatives has exploded. A recent survey conducted by the renowned Pew Research Center reports that a whopping 69% of U.S. respondents prioritize developing alternative energy sources, including wind and solar, over expanding the production of oil, coal, and natural gas (https://ibn.fm/8QPHT). With only about 1% of the new homes in the U.S. built as zero-carbon or electric, there appears to be a vast, untapped market opportunity as consumers begin to demand clean energy sources and home builders start catching up to be able to respond to this swelling demand. SmartGreen home offers homeowners healthier carbon-free living, zero or no utility bills, and a healthier living environment that includes the 24/7 circulation of fresh air continuously filtered and adjusted for CO2/oxygen ratios. “We believe GST represents an extremely interesting investment opportunity for someone that is looking to help with the climate crisis and be involved in a company that can be extremely rewarding for its shareholders. ​​The first thing anyone that is looking at GeoSolar Technologies as an investment should understand is that the world is in the very early stages of what many think is the most important transition in human history- the switch from a fossil fuel-driven economy to a clean all-electric future — often referred as The Electric Revolution”, concludes Douglass confidently.

Reklaim Ltd. (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF) Is ‘One to Watch’

  • For the quarter that ended June 30, 2022, Reklaim’s year-to-date revenue was up 216% over the same period in the prior year
  • During that same quarter, revenue increased 65% over the prior quarter that ended March 31, 2022
  • Reklaim grew its B2B customer base by 51% during the quarter that ended June 30, 2022
  • The company has 320 million consented consumer profiles
  • Reklaim is integrated with 15 of the largest global platforms that sell and distribute data
Reklaim (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF) offers a privacy-compliant identity ecosystem both online (www.ReklaimYours.com) and via a mobile app on iOS and Android in the U.S and Canada. Reklaim believes that consumers own their data and, consequently, have the right to access their online data and choose how it is used, whether for compensation or privacy. Reklaim gives consumers visibility regarding how their data is collected and compensates them for its use, all while also providing advertisers and brands with a source of data compliant with emerging privacy regulations. The company is driven by the evolution of privacy and how it impacts consumers and companies. Reklaim sells compliant, zero-party data to Fortune 500 brands, platforms, and data companies so that they can offset the risk of non-compliance. ‘Zero-party data’ is data that a consumer proactively and intentionally shares with an organization. This contrasts with ‘third-party data,’ which organizations have collected unbeknownst to consumers for more than 20 years. Zero-party data is the most valuable data in the US$200B data market, as it provides organizations with explicit consumer opt-in vs. through an intermediary such as a data broker. Reklaim empowers consumers to take back control of their data. The company allows consumers to visit the platform, confirm their identity, and uncover their data that has been collected and sold for years without their explicit consent. Consumers can add, edit or delete data that is associated with their profile and choose which pieces of data they would be willing to share for weekly compensation. Reklaim is the only company in the world today providing consumers with both access to their data that is circulating in the market and a guaranteed weekly paycheck. Alternatively, for users who do not want to sell their data, users can choose to protect their data and subscribe to a suite of subscription-based (“SaaS”) privacy tools that obfuscate the location of their device when browsing on a mobile phone and alert them when a third-party source has leaked their data or passwords. Reklaim was founded in 2018 and is based in New York, with offices in Toronto. Business Model Reklaim’s primary revenue-generating operations stem from selling consented consumer data to companies and resellers that need data that is compliant with all applicable consumer privacy laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Major Fortune 500 customers and enterprise data platforms have validated Reklaim’s zero-party data and have added this data to their marketplaces and decision-making. Reklaim has sales across three core verticals: brands and agencies that buy advertising, platforms that sell data to Fortune 500 clients, and companies whose primary business is selling data to business customers.
  • Companies & Agencies that Buy Advertising – These customers use Reklaim’s compliant data to inform their media decisions in social, connected television, programmatic and other verticals. Sales cycles are short at about 30 days. Reklaim customers in this segment are Microsoft, Amgen, Bayer, UPS, and Hasbro, to name a few.
  • Platforms that Sell Data – Reklaim has integrated its zero-party data into 15 of the largest enterprise data platforms in the world. These platforms act as the ‘grocery stores’ of data, where the Fortune 500 come to make their data purchases. Reklaim’s data has been validated and added to these platforms, providing ubiquitous distribution of Reklaim data across the data ecosystem. Due to data quality verification and technical requirements, sales cycles are typically longer, about 60-90 days. Customers include LiveRamp, Transunion, Google, The Trade Desk, Lotame, and T-Mobile.
  • Data Companies that Sell Data – These customers need to purchase compliant data to continue offering data to their clients. Sales cycles often last 90-120 days, but these contracts are typically annual, have the highest value, and auto-renew. An example is Nielsen, the television measurement company.
Market Outlook The data industry, valued at $245 billion in the U.S. and more than $400 billion globally, is being disrupted, and Reklaim is positioned to benefit from the destructive shift. The disruption is driven by two factors: (1) technology is reducing access to core data that the industry has become dependent upon, and (2) government intervention is emerging through laws and regulations intended to protect consumer data privacy. Over the past 20 years, the data industry has harvested and exploited consumer data without consumers’ express consent. However, the legal and regulatory environment surrounding consumer data acquisition is rapidly evolving, placing the consumer at the center of emerging privacy policies. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) was rolled out in 2019, followed shortly by the CCPA and the California Privacy Rights Act. More recently, the Canadian Privacy Protection Act, Brazil’s General Data Protection Law, India’s Information Technology Act, and South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information have continued the trend. As a result, industries and companies currently relying on unconsented consumer data will experience a regulation-driven disruptive migration, forcing them sooner rather than later to use only fully consented data sources. This consumer data environment is driving companies to Reklaim to replace their current data providers. While privacy policies continue to iterate to include the consumer, Big Tech, namely Apple and Google, are increasingly removing data from the market that brands and companies have relied on. Apple’s introduction of Advanced Ad Tracing (“ATT”) has impacted companies’ ability to track consumer behavior across applications. Facebook, in Q4 2021, was forced to accept a US$10B write down on revenue projections due to this change and is expecting a similar US$10B right down again in 2022. Google is making similar changes, the most significant being the removal of the third-party cookie from its Chrome browser, which has a 65% market share. This third-party cookie is responsible for the tracking that websites use to monetize by tracking consumers. The removal of the Chrome cookie will put the 1.8 billion websites operating in the open web today under pressure to find a solution to replace the 65% loss in revenue. Management Team Neil Sweeney is Chairman and CEO of Reklaim. He has more than 20 years in the industry, with an established reputation for visionary entrepreneurship and an ability to develop technologies. Technologies Sweeney created are used by Fortune 500 brands like Coca-Cola, Lowe’s, Walmart, General Motors, Unilever, and Mondelez. They are the core component of top media demand-side platforms, including Adelphic, The Trade Desk, AppNexus, MediaMath, and Triton Media. He is a two-time finalist for Ernst & Young’s ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and received Deloitte’s ‘Fast 50’ award for three consecutive years for the growth of organizations he created. Ira Levy is CFO at Reklaim. He has over 15 years of experience in a wide range of high-growth, early-stage public and private companies. Most recently, he held the roles of Corporate Controller at VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX: VIVO) and Senior VP/Head of Finance for start-up Honest Inc. (d/b/a Province Brands of Canada). He has also acted as an advisor for startup AI companies through the Creative Destruction Lab Program. He received his MBA in Accounting and Finance from the Schulich School of Business at York University and is a Chartered Professional Accountant. Jake Phillips is Chief Technical Officer at Reklaim. He is a proven technology leader who excels at bridging the gap between innovation and business in dynamic environments. He has gained a breadth of industry knowledge across telco/cable, banking, and client services. His professional experience spans enterprise integration, mobility, big data, cloud operations, and data security. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.ReklaimYours.com.

Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI) Teams with CEA Lighting Distributor UYS to Boost Indoor Horticulture Services

  • Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. is a Louisiana-based developer of energy use solutions that is focused on providing data-driven energy analysis and advisement to commercial real estate developers
  • Correlate recently announced that it is partnering with Ultra Yield Solutions (“UYS”) to improve energy use services to indoor horticultural growers
  • The indoor horticultural industry, also known as controlled environment agriculture or CEA, is rising in popularity thanks to consumer efforts to promote locally grown produce year-round
  • Under the partnership, UYS will take care of clients’ professional indoor farming LED design needs while Correlate will handle the solar, storage, and funding solutions
Indoor horticulture, also known as controlled environment agriculture or CEA, is increasing in popularity as consumer demand for produce grown closer to home under year-round, clean-control conditions continues to rise. The market sustaining CEA produce is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 10.9 percent from 2021 to 2028, according to Research and Markets analysts cited in an AgriTech Tomorrow report earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/ri7kc). As the demand for indoor-grown produce increases, the need for energy-efficient CEA-friendly lighting is also on the rise according to the AgriTech Tomorrow report, highlighting efforts to power what for many is becoming a passion project. Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), a company focused on reducing climate change through improving the ways commercial buildings use energy, announced recently that it is entering the CEA space thanks to a partnership the company inked with horticulture lighting distributor Ultra Yield Solutions (“UYS”). “We are excited to see this partnership transform the CEA space by dramatically reducing the operating costs of urban indoor farming. It will enable operators to reach profitability faster while simultaneously increasing the sustainability and resilience of their businesses,” Correlate’s VP of Sales Jim Fiorentino stated in the Sept. 7 announcement (https://ibn.fm/zoWA3). “We intend to make it simple and cost-effective for sustainably-minded growers to live their values by incorporating clean energy solutions into their operations.” Under the partnership, UYS will focus on the clients’ professional indoor farming LED design needs, bringing the company’s deep industry experience to the table, while Correlate will take care of the solar, storage and funding as needed. Correlate’s platform advances clean electrification solutions through locally sited solar, energy storage, EV infrastructure and data-driven efficiency measures that are powered by the company’s proprietary analytics. Commercial industries have increasingly focused on transparency in their environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) reporting as a way of helping consumers evaluate the appeal of a particular business in a competitive industry, using a measurable standard as a base for their judgment. Climate change worries have driven new awareness of trends involving severe weather, and the United Nations’ successful Paris convention on climate change less than a decade ago has spurred government and international agency policies on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Research technology company Glow’s analysts found recently that 1 in 4 consumers in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom cited sustainability and social responsibility factors as a motivator for starting, stopping or switching use of a brand.

As Congress Looks to Change How Streaming Services Pay Musicians, Friendable Inc. (FDBL) Offers Viable Solution with 360-Degree Platform Supporting Music Artist Production, Distribution, and Marketing

  • House Concurrent Resolution 102, co-sponsored by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Congressman Jamaal Bowman, seeks to change how streaming services pay royalties to artists
  • Friendable’s 360-degree Fan Pass Live artist platform supports production, distribution, and marketing, with all earned revenue going to the artist
  • Fan Pass Live is a large aggregator of artist data, with enterprise-level services on track to become the largest data and content funnel in the industry today
There is a lack of transparency in music streaming services like Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and YouTube, creating an environment dominated by private deals with powerful corporations, predatory pricing, and other practices that would otherwise be illegal in the traditional music industry landscape. Even the largest streaming service in the world, Spotify, paid rights holders at a rate of $0.0030, a rate that would require 800,000 monthly streams for an artist to make the equivalent of a full-time worker at $15 per hour. According to the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organization, these rates are declining yearly. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan’s 13th District has co-sponsored House Concurrent Resolution 102 with Congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York’s 16th District, which proposes a new resolution recognizing the need to establish new royalty programs that directly compensate musicians through fair royalty payment every time their music is listened to on streaming services (https://ibn.fm/cVp6L). “Artists are making well below a penny per stream, and too many are not able to make ends meet. Detroit is one of the centers of the music world, the birthplace of Motown and techno, and so much more, and we are home to thousands of musicians and artists who deserve fair compensation for their labor,” the congresswoman commented. “This resolution is about sending the message that Congress isn’t going to tolerate artists being taken advantage of anymore.” Friendable (OTC: FDBL), a mobile technology company focused on their Fan Pass Live artist platform, recognizes the importance of providing musicians resources that help them further their careers instead of hindering them. In January 2022, the company completed the acquisition of Artist Republik and FeaturedX, creating the ultimate 360-degree music artist platform that supports production, distribution, and marketing – with revenues directed back to the music artist. Created by musicians for musicians, Fan Pass Live offers the support that artists need and are not generally afforded in this competitive industry dominated by big-name labels. The 360-degree music artist platform provides the support and tools that musicians need and includes:
  • Music distribution and management
  • Music production assistance
  • Press release and Instagram promotion
  • Digital storefront activation
  • Artist marketplace for collaboration
  • Merchandise, logo, and promotional design support
  • Virtual concert booking and ticketing mobile streaming service
  • Live streaming support
  • Revenue from fan tips, monthly artist contests, merchandise, and ticket sales
  • Access to fan data and performance analytics
  • Monthly artist contests
  • NFT development and Metaverse performances – coming soon
Fan Pass Live, including Artist Republik and FeaturedX, provides music artists with a one-stop shop for artists to grow their audience, interact with fans, promote their music, showcase their work, sell merchandise, and generate revenue. The company has created a large artist data aggregation platform, with enterprise-level services on track to become the largest data and content funnel in the industry today. With artists feeling a lack of support and being controlled by the industry labels, Fan Pass Live’s 360-degree music artist platform offers a solution to the problem in the industry today, giving artists back control of their music while they get paid for it. The platform aligns with the efforts of Congresswoman Tlaib and Congressman Bowman, who are looking to shift the music industry and how artists get paid for their hard work.

Odyssey Health, Inc.’s (ODYY) PRV-002 Drug Candidate Designed to Immediately Mitigate the Effects of Concussion on Brain Function

  • Odyssey Health is a medical company focused on unique, life-saving medical products that offer clinical advantages to unmet clinical needs
  • The company is currently developing a treatment for concussion, a condition that currently does not have an FDA-approved treatment despite having both short- and long-term consequences
  • Through animal studies, Odyssey has so far evidenced that PRV-002 can easily cross the blood-brain barrier to rapidly eliminate the swelling, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the brain caused by concussion while simultaneously restoring proper blood flow
  • Odyssey is currently undertaking Phase 1 clinical studies with plans underway to commence its Phase 2 trial in due course
Toward the late 2000’s, Arizona Cardinals’ then-quarterback Kurt Warner made an interesting observation. During the 2007 season, the training and medical staff had given him a brace for his left arm when he tore a ligament, with this immediate intervention allowing him to play just a week later. Two years later, Kurt sustained a concussion, but this time the same staff could not offer a solution and only recommended rest. As a result, Kurt ended up missing the following week’s game. “The idea that there was treatment for an elbow injury – or an ankle, knee, hip, etc. – and not one for a brain injury always struck Warner as off, perhaps even ironic,” writes an article in AZ Central (https://ibn.fm/tGkcX). This observation, coupled with his experience with concussion, motivated Kurt to become involved in a company developing a drug candidate, PRV-002, that could be given to concussed patients to prevent both short-term and long-term consequences of concussion. Early last year, PRV-002 was sold to Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY), a medical company focused on unique, life-saving medical products that offer clinical advantages to unmet clinical needs, with this transaction only boosting the former NFL player’s efforts even further because Odyssey formed the Sports Advisory Board (“SAB”) whose inaugural members included Kurt, fellow pro-NFL player Brett Favre, Mark Rypien, David Ross, and Steve Mariucci. “Each of these new members has been directly affected by traumatic brain injury and has first-hand experience of its effects on health and quality of life,” said Odyssey CEO Michael Redmond of the SAB’s formation (https://ibn.fm/hXCPA). “Concussion is a major health issue not only in sports but also in the military and everyday life. Our sports advisory board will play an integral role in enhancing the public’s awareness and understanding of the impacts of this common condition for which there is currently no FDA-approved drug treatment.” It is estimated that between 64 and 74 million new cases of traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) globally are reported every year (https://ibn.fm/hIUhZ). A majority of these cases, between 70% and 90%, are mild (“mTBI”), although this range is often considered an underestimation, according to various studies (https://ibn.fm/rVrdv). Also known as concussion, mTBI is caused by a jolt, blow, or force to the head that changes the brain’s function. This change often results in myriad consequences ranging from emotional and somatic changes to cognitive impairment and physical symptoms. These effects, an article by the Concussion Alliance explains, result from, among other things, the disrupted communication between neurons in the brain due to damage to the neuronal connections, chemical imbalance that requires lots of energy to return to the original state, and decrease in blood flow to the brain that, in turn, prevents adequate glucose from traveling to the brain (https://ibn.fm/NGYH4). In most cases, concussion symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks as the damaged pathways rebuild and strengthen through repetition, use and cleanup of cell debris. However, there has been growing concern that mTBI may be associated with long-term consequences, particularly due to repeated or multiple head impacts. According to the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) (https://ibn.fm/IUscv), a person with a history of repeated mTBIs may “experience a longer recovery or more severe symptoms [or] may have long-term problems, including ongoing problems with concentration, memory, headache, and occasionally, physical skills, such as keeping one’s balance.” Ongoing research also shows that repeated episodes of concussion potentially cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy (“CTE”), a progressive brain condition that can only be diagnosed after death. New research has, in fact, found that contact-sport athletes are at least 68 times more likely to develop CTE than those who did not play any contact sport (https://ibn.fm/7FPrC). Moreover, CTE has been found in more than half of sportspeople who donated brains, according to findings by the Australian Sports Brain Bank (https://ibn.fm/BGQTS). It comes as no surprise, therefore, that retired sportspersons, such as the members of Odyssey’s SAB, are at the forefront of the pursuit of concussion treatment. Odyssey has so far evidenced, through animal studies, that PRV-002 can easily cross the blood-brain barrier to rapidly eliminate swelling, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the brain caused by concussion while simultaneously restoring proper blood flow. The drug is intended to be administered immediately after a concussive episode, effectively mitigating the effects a blow or jolt might have on the brain and its functions. The company is currently undertaking a human clinical Phase 1 trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of the drug candidate in healthy volunteers. It is also preparing for the planned Phase 2 study and working with its Military Advisory Board to identify clinical sites for this potentially groundbreaking study.

CubCrafters Inc.’s Popularity is Displayed by Quick Response to its Pending Public Offering, while the Backcountry Aircraft Manufacturer Awaits SEC Qualification

  • Yakima, Wash.-based CubCrafters Inc. has proven its brand over 42 years of designing, building and testing light aircraft inspired by the legacy of the classic Piper PA-18 Super Cub
  • The company also produces experimental aircraft with DIY optional kits for pilots who want the thrill of building their own aircraft
  • CubCrafters recently announced its application make a public stock offering under a Regulation A exemption, aiming to raise $50 million
  • The company reported reservations for $5 million worth of shares within just the first 48 hours, pending qualification with the SEC
World War II fighter pilot John Gillespie Magee Jr. only lived to be 19 years old but immortalized his name with a well-known sonnet about the joys of airplane flight, writing in 1941 that he had “slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,” and in the “high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out (his) hand, and touched the face of God” (https://ibn.fm/CKTFm). The poem evokes the love of flying many aviators and would-be aviators continue to feel nearly a century later, driving them “Up, up the long, delirious burning blue” on wings of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. Yakima, Washington based aircraft manufacturer CubCrafters, is helping to inspire a new generation of aviators by participating as a sponsor in the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (“GAMA”) 2022 Aviation Design Challenge. In this program, high school students from across the country competed in modifying the design of a CubCrafters NXCub to fly from Seattle to Packwood, Wash., to efficiently deliver a maximum payload. In August the winning team from New York was awarded an all-expenses-paid aviation manufacturing experience to visit CubCrafters’ headquarters as well as Boeing, Signature Aviation, and other facilities in Washington (https://ibn.fm/IXIjQ). Also in August, CubCrafters announced that in the first 48 hours after informing the investment community of its Reg A funding plan, it attracted $5 million in reservations for 1 million potential shares of stock, pending qualification by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). “Reservations for over 10 percent of our $50 million goal in only two days is just amazing. This level of interest from the aviation community and the general public tells us that they see real value in our company and want to help it grow,” CubCrafters’ VP of Sales Brad Damm stated (https://ibn.fm/lgXrr). “Backcountry aviation is increasing in popularity, and the demand for our aircraft continues to grow.” The company is aiming to speed up its production, improve its service capabilities and advance new innovation efforts, Damm said. CubCrafters has been producing its fleet of aircraft building from the legacy of the classic Piper PA-18 Super Cub for 42 years. The company has grown to develop its own new designs in the Experimental, LSA, and Part 23 Certified aircraft categories. CubCrafters’ future looks to be bright with this diverse offering of capable and modern aircraft, its partnerships fostering the next generation of aerospace professionals, and its innovative use of the Regulation A exemption public offering to meet the growing demand for its products and services.

American Cannabis Partners Committed to Implementing Key Sustainable Operating Practices

  • Forbes reports that “sustainability is increasingly becoming a necessity for corporations due to changing perspectives around the world”
  • Unfortunately, while 90% of executives think sustainability is important, only 60% of companies have a sustainability strategy
  • ACP’s sustainable operating practices appear ideally aligned with today’s expectations
With a focus on sustainability becoming increasingly essential for companies to succeed in today’s market, American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”) has made its sustainable operating practices a top priority. The company is “contending for first place in the U.S. cannabis industry through proven strategies that continue to accelerate ACP in assets, operations, expansions and market share” (https://acpfarms.com). “Sustainability is increasingly becoming a necessity for corporations due to changing perspectives around the world,” reports Forbes in an article titled “Why Corporate Strategies Should Be Focused on Sustainability.” The article noted that “it is becoming even more critical for companies to address the gap between knowing and doing by embracing sustainable business practices. Sustainability can be defined as providing for the present needs without compromising the needs of the future generations to meet theirs. It has three pillars: economic, environmental and social.” Forbes reported that, while 90% of executives think sustainability is important, only 60% of companies have a sustainability strategy. “Often, companies that speak of being sustainable are lacking when it comes to implementation,” the article noted. “Economic, social and environmental sustainability is a must in today’s business environment. It has a lot of benefits as well. The article pointed out several key reasons why organizations should implement sustainability strategies, including adding brand value and a competitive advantage, meeting consumer demand, increasing efficiency, attracting talent and creating new opportunities. With that in mind, ACP’s sustainable operating practices (https://ibn.fm/8kvxU) appear ideally aligned with today’s expectations. The company is “committed to operating business in a manner that has a positive impact on the environment, employee, and customer experience,” with an organic cultivation model that includes “the implementation of sustainable operating practices that reduce the company’s environmental footprint and increase its social responsibility. A comprehensive approach is taken to maximize impacts on our operations. Use of local purchasing and employment, environment-friendly products, energy and water conservation efforts, and a waste management program have increased our ‘triple bottom line,’ positively impacting people, planet, and profit.” American Cannabis Partners is focused on three business segments: real estate, acquisition and development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. Led by a seasoned management team with more than three decades of canna-business experience, ACP is guided by its strategy to capture opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed cannabis-legalization legislation, thereby equipping the company to capitalize on federal interstate-commerce opportunities.

FingerMotion Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR) Upgrades to Sapientus Analytics Division Hone in on Tech Tool Trends in China

  • FingerMotion is an Nasdaq-traded company making inroads among China’s huge tech-hungry population with mobile services and big data analytics for commercial operations
  • FingerMotion recently announced upgrades to its Sapientus division, which is currently focused on providing the insurance industry with consumer analytics in an economy that is still developing standards far or evaluating risk ratings
  • Amid the upgrades, Sapientus also secured a renewed agreement with global reinsurance company Pacific Life Re to provide risk-rating capabilities in China
  • Much of FingerMotion’s success has been built on its successful partnering with telecommunications giants China Unicom and China Mobile
An increasing number of companies and customers are moving toward interactive chats and artificial intelligence use for securing products and services, leading service providers in turn to analyze their tools for marketing and operational success and to focus on their business messaging platforms (https://ibn.fm/s7qSh). While industries still talk about managing “digital transformations” of their legacy strategies, much of the world appears to have arrived at a “post-digital” plateau in which online technology is not so much noteworthy but expected as a means for facilitating interactions between companies and customers. “Our research has shown that companies evolving to future-ready systems are growing at twice the rate of companies that are unable to scale innovation,” global professional services company Accenture’s managing director and insurance practice lead for Southeast Asia told Insurance Business magazine recently. “Companies would do well to channel their investments toward emerging and flexible technologies, such as AI and analytics, microservices, and cloud solutions,” the director, Elysia Chan, said. “Such technology enables innovation and new ways of working such as Agile and DevSecOps practices that can serve to catalyse the realisation of business value for insurance companies.” Mobile technology services provider FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR) is carving out its own place in communications technology services in Asia, developing operational partnerships with telecommunications giants China Unicom and China Mobile to reach a wide base of mobile users in that country and then building on it with a diversity of service products. FingerMotion’s offerings have largely focused on phone top-up and SMS messaging services in the nation that claims about one-fifth of the world’s total population and more than 450 million 5G mobile phone users currently. However, U.S.-based FingerMotion has also used its in-country collaborations to develop a mobile device protection business it expects to build revenues nationwide (https://ibn.fm/6ZDS1) and a big data arm called Sapientus that gained attention when global reinsurance company Pacific Life Re contracted with FingerMotion (and then renewed the agreement) to provide risk-rating capabilities for China’s developing insurance industry (https://ibn.fm/1k8Qj).

  • Freight Technologies is an emerging growth company whose unique solutions suite is designed to optimize and automate the supply chain process and provide a platform for B2B cross-border shipping in North America
  • The company recently filed Form F-1 with the SEC registering more than 19 million ordinary shares for resale by selling shareholders identified in the registration statement
  • CEO Javier Selgas hailed the milestone as a move that positions the company to continue to work with the capital markets to foster company growth
  • The filing comes amid favorable market reports that evidence resurgence of the truck freight market in North America
Emerging growth company Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT), often abbreviated as Fr8Tech, recently filed a Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1933. A registration statement form, the F-1 is filed by companies incorporated in other jurisdictions (non-US companies) to register additional or existing securities for sale to the investing public. The filing is intended to provide investors with essential data such as a prospectus summary, planned use of proceeds from the sale of the securities, risk factors, financial data, management, and business overview, just to mention a few (https://ibn.fm/ieXOx). In the recently filed Form F-1, Fr8Tech, a British Virgin Islands-incorporated technology company developing supply chain optimization and automation solutions and providing its Fr8App platform for B2B cross-border shipping, registered more than 19 million ordinary shares for resale by selling shareholders identified in the form. “All of the ordinary shares, when sold, will be sold by these selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may sell their ordinary shares from time to time at prevailing market prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders or from the conversion of the preferred shares into ordinary shares,” an excerpt from the amended Form F-1 reads (https://ibn.fm/Kutao). “We are incredibly proud of our team, and thank them for their work and dedication to deliver our F-1 registration, which positions us to be able to continue to grow as a public company. Delivering our registration statement puts us in a position to continue to work with the capital markets to foster the growth of our company,” Fr8Tech CEO Javier Selgas commented (https://ibn.fm/BXtOi). The efforts to grow the company are timely considering the prevailing trends in the North American freight transportation market. According to Statista, the U.S. trucking industry generated $732.3 billion in revenue in 2020 (https://ibn.fm/ehAME), contributing $168.32 billion to the U.S. GDP (https://ibn.fm/PXAjf). And although the sector was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as evidenced by the fact that the 2020 figures were a drop from 2019 numbers, the industry is still expected to maintain an annualized market size growth rate of 2.7% between 2017 and 2022 (https://ibn.fm/oaKVO). In Mexico, the road freight market, valued at $81.99 billion in 2021, is expected to reach a valuation of $131.61 billion by 2027, representing a 9.91% CAGR (https://ibn.fm/ScFvB). At the same time, data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics show that the cross-border North American truck freight market grew to $827.9 billion in 2021 (https://ibn.fm/S9BRa) from $772 billion in 2020 and $695 billion in 2019 (https://ibn.fm/05FRH). Fr8Tech, which is snugly positioned to benefit from this growth, expects the market to continue growing at rates at least equal to the historical values, according to the recent filing. Through Fr8App, a B2B marketplace powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”), Fr8Tech simplifies cross-border shipping and daily carrier operations. The Fr8App offers one of the foremost connected and intelligent freight platforms for cross-border shipping in the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) region. At its core, Fr8Tech is guided by the goal to modernize logistic operations by leveraging technology infrastructure that not only enhances efficiency and experiences for their shippers and carriers but also combines everything in a single control center, optimizes logistics, makes fleets more efficient, and reduces transportation costs.

Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) Remains Committed to Delivering Enhanced Safety for All Drivers; Works with Top 10 Global Automotive OEMs to Commercialize Lidar

  • Evidence suggests that current ADAS solutions relying on cameras for perception are not yet safe enough due to camera’s limited capabilities of providing accurate perception data 24/7
  • In a recent article authored for Forbes, Cepton’s co-founder and CEO Jun Pei calls for widespread adoption of sensor suites that include complementary technologies–including lidar, camera, and radar–that seamlessly work together to enhance safety for drivers
  • Cepton remains committed to deploying lidar in all vehicles with the goal of making the driving experience safer and more efficient for all road participants; expands collaboration with Koito to extend beyond its current OEM series production program
“If consumers fail to understand the current capabilities of automated systems and demand the right combination of technology in the vehicles, they may be risking their own lives,” said Jun Pei, the co-founder and CEO of Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a world-leading lidar provider, in a recent article he authored for Forbes (https://ibn.fm/PHdDX). Highlighting that the debate over the single most effective sensor technology for ADAS may be pointed in the wrong direction, Pei reflected on his confidence that lidar could be an optimal response to the safety needs of drivers, in addition to enabling autonomous driving capabilities. “Instead of arguing over the best single technology, we need to focus on making different technologies seamlessly work together without disrupting the modern car design and cost structure. With complementing technology and redundancy, our cars can more accurately perceive their environment, thus lowering the risk of accidents,” he said. Tests from the American Automobile Association (“AAA”) revealed that vehicles deploying today’s current ADAS technologies fail to consistently avoid crashes (https://ibn.fm/554uy). It has been known for years that relying on cameras, radars, and software cannot provide enough reliability when it comes to detecting object perception. Even when supported by software and AI, which can extract more useful information from camera data, cameras still face challenges in collecting reliable data. Cameras are not only limited by their 2D nature but are also highly reliant on lighting conditions, which can decrease the quality of data they gather. At the same time, consumers may not fully understand the state of autonomous driving yet and may think the existing technology is more advanced than it is. Therefore, Dr. Pei believes we need to prepare consumers for the arrival of autonomous vehicles with a stronger trust in assisted and autonomous driving technologies. “Several lidar companies—including Luminar, Innoviz and Cepton—have been working with OEMs to deploy lidar in passenger cars in the years ahead.” He notes that those with the most at stake financially—the automakers—already recognize the need for enhancing current safety equipment beyond camera technology. As a result, automakers seeking to develop a more diverse and robust sensor safety suite are increasingly adding lidar. For example, Doug Parks, General Motors’s Vice President for Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain, pointed out earlier this year at an investor conference that cars without one of the three key technologies—camera, radar, and lidar—will not be able to meet the performance and safety standards customers expect and deserve. Furthermore, Cepton remains committed to making this potentially game-changing technology available in everyday cars, not just luxury vehicles. The Company expects lidar to benefit more consumers as the technology gets rolled out to all cars, making autonomous driving safer for all. Cepton’s partnership with world-leading automotive Tier 1 supplier, Koito, a Tokyo-based manufacturer with century-long operations, marks a significant milestone on Cepton’s journey to lidar commercialization. “We’re working with top 10 global OEMs here in North America and Japan and their strategies are still very much intact. So, the progress has been really good with the top 10 OEMs, and specifically with GM” stated Pei (https://ibn.fm/lGdvZ). Here, Cepton appears to have a competitive advantage. What makes it distinctive from other lidar makers is that on top of performance and automotive-grade reliability, its lidars have a small form factor and low power consumption, which can be easily integrated in various locations within both traditional and electric vehicles (https://ibn.fm/zckr6).
