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

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

Streamlytics Is ‘One to Watch’

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

Friendable Inc. (FDBL) Completes Rebranding Initiatives; CEO Talks Progress, Revenue and Growth Strategy, Market Opportunity in SmallCapVoice.com Interview

  • Friendable’s 120-day strategy is underway and encompasses several milestones, including the launch of a redesigned Fan Pass platform and new website for its core business
  • The company recently announced it had completed several rebranding initiatives, including an updated corporate deck and new website for its Fan Pass livestream platform
  • The rebranding comes on the heels of the launch of Fan Pass 2.0 and a recent SmallCapVoice.com interview in which Friendable CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr. discussed the company’s vision, progress so far, market opportunity, the new version of its Fan Pass platform, and revenue and growth strategy
In a bid to continue building value in the live event coordination and livestreaming business, mobile technology and marketing company Friendable (OTC: FDBL) formulated a 120-day strategy encompassing several key milestones. These included a new company/corporate website, transitioning focus entirely to the Fan Pass platform, completing beta testing for the mobile and web application, new tools for artists, new mobile and web app deployment, and more (https://ibn.fm/07qhn). Having launched version 2.0 of the Fan Pass platform, the company set the wheels in motion for the attainment of the other milestones. In a recent announcement, the company moved closer to fulfilling its 120-day strategy by announcing it had completed several rebranding initiatives, including an updated corporate look and a new website for its Fan Pass livestream platform (https://ibn.fm/RnBeU). View the new websites, messaging, and branding at www.FanPassLive.com and www.Friendable.com. The rebranding – which sets the foundation for Friendable’s next phase of growth, with the company anticipating to kick off several important growth initiatives in the coming weeks – is intended to enable FDBL to clearly communicate who it is and what it does as it focuses on building a big business in the rapidly growing marketplace as well as prepare to ramp up advertising efforts for both artist and fan acquisitions. It also represents a shift from the company’s initial, successful focus on raising awareness of the Fan Pass brand throughout the last year. “The success of this campaign led to faster-than-expected growth in terms of user sign-ups, and we quickly moved to accomplish two ancillary goals: 1. Support the platform through cohesive message, business model and strategy; 2. Adjust the development of version 2.0 to deliver a superior platform to artists and fans,” commented Friendable CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr. The rebranding announcement comes on the heels of a recent SmallCapVoice.com interview, wherein Robert discussed the company’s vision and plans, revenue and growth strategy, and market opportunities (https://ibn.fm/CuUpF). In describing the Fan Pass platform, Robert noted that the platform – which is all about the artist, discovering new music, and connecting artists with their fans – has enabled artists to earn, perform virtually, create and sell merchandise, and invite their fans to join the platform. “We are bringing to the table a mass-market opportunity for the up-and-coming artist and, really, artists at every level and wrapping them with a support system that will boost them, help acquire and add to their fanbase, and, more importantly, really monetize in the days of uncertainty when venues have been shut down for so long,” Robert stated (https://ibn.fm/VxVri). Robert also allayed concerns brought about by the vaccine-led reopening of the events industry by stating that Fan Pass will still provide backstage access, both live and on-demand, to fans who may not be able to attend live events and concerts due to geographical and financial constraints. “So, we have additional components that we will be stacking up to the business model as the live events and venues open back up,” Robert continued. Robert further explained that Fan Pass version 2.0 has captured everything the company has learned so far, featuring a complete rebuild of UI/UX and how artists and fans interact, and has added new features and ways of developing revenue streams for the artists. Friendable has uplifted various aspects of the Fan Pass platform to tailor it to what artists are asking for and what fans want to see. The new version also represents the company’s ability to scale. “Over the next 90 days following our V2 release, we are going to start communicating with the market, our shareholders, and the community of partners that we have, and showing how these metrics are stacking and growing and how our revenues are converting and growing. And that 90-day period is going to be the metric that we need for the next 12, 24, and 36 months of revenue projections and growth,” Rositano concluded.

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

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Releases Partial Results from Human Clinical Trial of DehydraTECH(TM)-Processed Cannabidiol for Hypertension

  • Clinical study HYPER-H21-1 evaluates the use of patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed CBD for use against hypertension
  • Hypertension is a primary or contributing factor in the death of almost 500,000 people per year, with approximately one in four adults aged 20 to 44 suffering from high blood pressure
  • Initial results of the study show that blood pressure was reduced in both male and female volunteers, resulting in the reinforcement of pre-existing findings demonstrating that DehydraTECH delivers superior performance
  • Lexaria plans on launching two additional clinical trials, for a total of three clinical trials in 2021 for the DehydraTECH-CBD with hypertension applications
Lexaria (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator of proprietary patented drug delivery platform DehydraTECH(TM), has released partial results from human clinical study HYPER-H21-1. The study evaluates DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) for potential application against hypertension (https://ibn.fm/4hiM1). Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure, is a primary or contributing factor in the deaths of almost 500,000 people per year. Hypertension can double the risk of having a heart attack or quadruple the chance of having a stroke. The likelihood of heart failure, vision loss, renal disease, peripheral artery disease, dementia, and more can be attributed to cases of high blood pressure. Statistically, one in four adults aged 20 to 44 has high blood pressure. The partial results showed that blood pressure was reduced across both male and female volunteers; it was most pronounced with DehydraTECH-CBD in the study’s first 10 to 50 minutes. These results reinforced the pre-existing findings demonstrating that DehydraTECH delivers superior performance over generic CBD controls. Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria, commented on the study, saying, “We are very encouraged by these early results in our 2021 hypertension program. Lexaria’s technology enabled a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure, especially systolic pressure and particularly in Stage 2 hypertensive volunteers.” Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology is designed for formulating and delivering lipophilic (fat-soluble) drugs and active ingredients. The method increases the effectiveness and improves the way that active pharmaceutical ingredients enter the bloodstream (like CBD). Benefits of the delivery method include:
  • Quicker delivery
  • Increase in bioavailability
  • Increase in the brain absorption
  • Improved drug potency
  • Reduced drug administration cost
  • Masked unwanted taste
Lexaria has demonstrated these benefits from other animal studies, elevating the quantity of the drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier by as much as 1,900%. Lexaria was also pleased that the subjects of this human clinical study tolerated the DehydraTECH-CBD, with no serious adverse events or side effects observed or reported. The concentration-matched, generic CBD control ingested resulted in unwanted side effects in some volunteers — primarily gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea. Lexaria plans to complete its ongoing additional sample and data analyses work for this study, reporting upon those outcomes when complete. A second human clinical hypertension study, HYPER-H21-2, has completed dosing, with three different doses of DehydraTECH-CBD (150mg per dose), administered evenly over the course of a 24-hour monitoring period. The company is optimistic that repeated dosing over this sustained period may further enhance efficacy. The results of both studies will be evaluated and considered before the company begins its planned third human clinical hypertension study planned for fall 2021. Lexaria is considering evaluations for a fourth, expanded, randomized, controlled human clinical hypertension trial. The fourth trial will be dependent on the results from the current trials and investigations into a larger population for a more enhanced statistical and clinical significance.

A British Columbia, Canada-based company with the potential to become an Amazon-like retailer for the plant-sustained community is reporting its continued growth in the United States and in its revenue stream.

Kenney added that the three-day meal kits for vegan recipes he has designed and curated “are a representation of how we can build a future where healthy, high-quality food is available to everyone on a daily basis” and that his team’s weekly meal plans reflect the “utmost in health, purity, and of course, pleasure.” PlantX reported July 30 that its year-end (“YE”) financial outlook shows gross revenue of $6.58 million as of March 31, compared with $1,349 for the previous YE statement that reflected the company’s first five months since its Oct. 11, 2019 incorporation, with a gross margin of 21 percent (https://ibn.fm/9Eac6). Its Q4 gross revenue grew 134 percent over Q3, according to the report, with a gross margin of 23 percent in Q4 compared with 20 percent in Q3. “PlantX has been growing its revenue each quarter. We are attributing this to the Company’s investments in operational activities designed to strategically support PlantX’s growth plan,” company founder Sean Dollinger stated as part of the news release. “We are thoroughly focused on six key pillars to ensure the success of our growth strategy: marketing activities, boosting product and service diversity, supply chain expansion, geographic expansion and completing strategic acquisitions.” In order to continue advancing the company toward fulfillment of its goals, PlantX announced Aug. 4 that it is restructuring its administrative operations, with former CEO Julia Frank becoming the chief operating officer and former CFO Lorne Rapkin taking over her place as CEO. Director of Finance Shariq Khan will succeed Rapkin as the new CFO (https://ibn.fm/Uv6uQ). Other corporate news includes the announcements that PlantX has completed its integration as a seller on Walmart Canada Marketplace and Hudson’s Bay Marketplace, that cold-pressed juices maker Little West, LLC, has completed its integration as a subsidiary in the company’s operational structures, and that Khan has been granted 50,000 restricted share units for the term of a year.
