Toronto, New York -  May 21st, 2020 – Eyecarrot Innovations Corp (TSXV:EYC) | (OTC:EYCCF) | (2EYA:GR), is pleased to announce the appointment Aurora Cannabis (TSX-ACB) Founder and former CEO, Mr. Terry Booth, to the Company as Executive Chairman. Mr. Booth was one of the 2 original founders of Aurora Cannabis Inc. In 2013, he personally provided over $3.0 million in start-up capital to the building of a new from the ground up high quality purpose-built medical cannabis production facility in Mountain View County. This facility was the first in the world to be certified as 100% EU GMP compliant for the production of Medical Cannabis. Appointed CEO in December 2014, he has skillfully raised Aurora from its infancy into one of the world’s largest and fastest growing cannabis companies, valued at $18B at its peak, with a focus on providing high-quality medical and adult usage cannabis and inspiring better days for medical and recreational consumers around the world.

A visionary and passionate leader, Terry has a deep knowledge of highly regulated environments. He was instrumental in Aurora receiving its initial licensing and approval from Health Canada to produce medical cannabis, as well as building the Company’s state of the art cultivation facility Aurora Sky. With this strong entrepreneurial vision running through the entire company, Terry has overseen the company’s organic growth as well as its expansion through acquisitions of companies, all of which were successfully integrated into the parent company.

“I am beyond excited to be a part of a new technology platform that will focus on improving vision globally. In particular, improving youth vision through this revolutionary technology that has not only been proven but is being used by world class athletes to improve their binocular vision, balance, and strength. Our product will set the standard in this nascent industry on a global basis,” commented Terry Booth, Executive Chairman

Uniquely skilled at seizing M&A opportunities, (over 30 transactions and acquisitions in the last 5 years) Terry also has more than 25 years of experience in creating, growing and leading companies in highly regulated industries. Terry currently sits on the board of Aurora Cannabis, Quinsam Capital, and Psyched Wellness and has sat on the board of other organizations, including Radient Technologies and Alcanna (formerly Liquor Stores N.A.). Terry has also served as President/CEO of Superior Safety Codes Inc, which was recognized as one of Canada’s top 50 fastest-growing companies. Terry joins Eyecarrot with an established track-record of transformational leadership and a purpose to impact Global Health and Education.

“We are absolutely thrilled to add the expertise and experience of a member of Terry’s caliber, and the team at Eyecarrot firmly believes that this will set our path moving forward. With his proven track record in building and growing businesses in technologically and medically innovative fields, Terry brings an unsurpassed wealth of knowledge to our dedicated and motivated team. He has the unique ability to move mountains when it comes to policy at the national and international level, as well as an incredible track record in capital markets. We’re excitedly looking forward to working together to accomplish our goals, bring value to our investors, and ultimately improve human performance,” commented Eyecarrot Founder and CEO Adam Cegielski.

In connection with these corporate changes, the Company would also like to announce it as arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $1 million through the issuance of up to 7,843,137 units at a price of $0.1275 per unit, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The proceeds of the placement will be utilized for the further development of the Company’s products and for general working capital purposes. Mr. Booth is expected to subscribe for up to 1,960,785 units of the financing.

The Company also announces the grant of an aggregate of 2,500,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for a period of five years to directors, officers, employees and consultants, of which 500,000 stock options will be granted to Mr. Booth.

INTERVIEW: Datametrex $DM.ca Sells 10,000 COVID-19 Test Kits In $500,000 Deal With Global Mining Company

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:16 AM on Thursday, May 21st, 2020

When US Government Agencies call you in the middle of the greatest health and economic crisis in 100 years to help them detect social media disinformation about COVID-19, it is safe to assume your Artificial Intelligence capabilities to detect fake news, disinformation campaigns and their impact is amongst the most respected in the world.

Then, when the Canadian government calls on you to help with the import and sale of COVID-19 test kits from South Korea, it is also safe to assume your trust and security clearances are at the highest levels possible.

But the real credibility payoff comes when a global mining giant, with 4,000 employees across the world, knocks on your door to buy 10,000 kits for the purposes of protecting both their employees and their families in order to get operations re-started.

You would probably also assume such a company to be a tech giant or a Silicon Valley funded startup. But Datametrex AI (DM: TSXV) is neither. Rather, it is a great Canadian small cap technology company who is giving small cap investors an opportunity to participate in the emerging world of Artificial Intelligence, as well as, the brand new world of COVID-19 testing.

When a small cap Artificial Intelligence company is successfully deploying its technology with military and conglomerates, as well as, being called upon by the Canadian federal government and global conglomerates to ask for help with the greatest pandemic in 100 years, smart small cap investors are compelled to take a closer look.

That look can begin with our latest interview of Datametrex CEO, Marshall Gunter, who discusses how the Company was able to secure its first order of 10,000 COVID-19 test kits for $500,000.

Transpharm has the people, the equipment, and world class lab space to meet the enormous demand coming and to get the job done.”

Video games, Esports booming during coronavirus isolation

  • “In this time of isolation, video games are the way that people are building a community,” says Neirotti. “It is already a 35% increase in the size of the people watching, playing, buying equipment.”
  • Esports industry has skyrocketed over the last few years with revenue now surpassing $1 billion. The industry attracts more viewers than almost every major sports league — and it has advantages over other professional sports.

By: Russell Falcon, Nexstar, and Anna Wiernicki

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nexstar) — When the whole world hit pause, millions of Americans escaped to a new reality online.

Sports management professor Lisa Neirotti says people are picking up a controller at a record rate.

“In this time of isolation, video games are the way that people are building a community,” says Neirotti. “It is already a 35% increase in the size of the people watching, playing, buying equipment.”

The Esports industry has skyrocketed over the last few years with revenue now surpassing $1 billion. The industry attracts more viewers than almost every major sports league — and it has advantages over other professional sports.

And the same goes for collegiate sports.

“The players are still playing when they are home because they can, and so this is something unique and special about Esports,” says Neirotti.

David Willis is the head coach of Esports at St. Edward’s University in Austin. He says 15 students currently compete on the university’s varsity team.

He says the season is still going — because it can. Willis says tournaments have been pushed through June.

Unlike non-virtual games, Esports can continue on.

“The different leagues are playing,” Neirotti says. “Overwatch league is playing. And it is filling the void.”
