VIDEO – PK Beans $BEAN Is The Woman Powered Small Cap Incorporating Augmented Reality And Other Innovations To Revolutionize Children’s Clothing Industry

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:31 PM on Sunday, March 7th, 2021

If you thought PK Beans $BEAN is just a children’s clothes retailer, you’d better think again.  Whereas children’s clothes retailers simply stack, rack and sell on volume, $BEAN is bringing the kind of innovation to the space that we once saw from the likes of Apple. 

Just as Apple did back in the day, $BEAN is creating a complete experience out of their products that includes the use of Augmented Reality stories with characters that carry great messages while showcasing their products.

More than just a cool idea, $BEAN innovation is creating some eye-popping KPI’s in it’s very early pivot such as:

  • 10,000 customers  
  • 62% returning customer rate  
  • $29 on every $1 of ad spend
  • 18,000 + orders in 2020
  • 55% increase in online visitors
  • $1.5M + in 2020 sales
  • …. and much more 

Beyond Augmented Reality, $BEAN has also incorporated a second-hand resale and sustainable initiative that, combined with the fact it is Canada’s only public company with a board dominated by women, is quickly becoming a great ESG company.

Why is that important?  ESG investing (Environmental, social and corporate governance) is a very big trend in the United States, where BEAN is expanding to next!

VIDEO – Liquid Avatar $LQID (Formerly KABN) Digital ID and Monetization Model Validated By Google Major Announcement Shifting Away From Ad Target $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca $CTZ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:13 PM on Sunday, March 7th, 2021

When the Facebook data privacy scandal broke out, the world woke up to just how badly our individual data was being traded, used and most importantly, the amount of profit being generated by major corporations at our expense.

This led to the enactment of the biggest data privacy laws in history.  Specifically, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) out of Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Enter LQID (formerly KABN).  The Company Turns The Problem Of Data Privacy Into A Profit For Individuals, While Providing Big Businesses With New & Compliant Business Models.

More than just lip service, LQID has made some major announcements, including joining the Trust Over IP Foundation, which includes over 170 members including IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and many other global leaders who are defining a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust.  

Does that sound like a mouthful?  Yeah, it does.  But all you have to really understand for now is that digital ID, privacy and monetization is going to become a reality in the very near future.  Government regulations are enforcing it.  Consumers are demanding it and LQID is delivering it at such an advanced scale that the Trust Over IP Foundation provided them with a strategic role as a Steering Member. 

GOOGLE ANNOUNCEMENT MARKS ENORMOUS SHIFT IN ONLINE TARGETING THAT VALIDATES LIQUID AVATAR BUSINESS MODEL 

We’ve been pounding the table since the summer of 2020 that LQID was way ahead of anybody in the small cap space.  In fact, so early they may have actually been too early to the game.  We were right on the former … but Google proved us way wrong on the latter when this story broke last week, with the subsequent quotes from Business Insider to back it up:

 Google announces major shift away from precision-targeting of ads based on everything you do on the internet

  • Google believes these types of tracking methods don’t “meet rising consumer expectations for privacy, nor will they stand up to rapidly evolving regulatory restrictions, and therefore aren’t a sustainable long term investment.”
  • Google is experimenting with tools in its Privacy Sandbox that are designed to allow advertising to continue to work on the web but in a less privacy-encroaching way.
  • “Keeping the internet open and accessible for everyone requires all of us to do more to protect privacy — and that means an end to not only third-party cookies, but also any technology used for tracking individual people as they browse the web,” David Temkin, Google’s director of product management for ads privacy and trust,

 What is the potential outcome of this major shift by Google? 

  Google’s decision could upend the ad industry, which has relied on these types of tracking tools   

You would think LQID CEO David Lucatch wrote the announcement and the bullet points himself.  Turns out he didn’t need to because he was already ahead of Google. 

Now the data privacy and monetization game is underway with LQID sitting in a great position within the industry and the dominant position within the small cap world.

Watch this interview with CEO David Lucatch and welcome to the next potential great disruptive industry of the decade.

Peak $PKK.ca $PKKFF Provides Updates on Implementation of Fund Transfer Services and Cash Position from Exercise of Warrants $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca CTZ.ca $TRAD.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:26 AM on Thursday, March 4th, 2021
Peak Fintech Group (@PEAK_Fintech) | Twitter
  • Reached an important step in the implementation of payment processing and fund transfer services on its Cubeler Lending Hub platform.
  • Peak remains on track to launch the payment processing and fund transfer services on Lending Hub in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Through the first two months of 2021, Peak received a total of $2,665,577 in cash as a result of the exercise of warrants, including a combined $500,000 from Peak’s CEO, CFO and China CEO

Montreal, Quebec–(March 4, 2021) –  Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced that it has reached an important step in the implementation of payment processing and fund transfer services on its Cubeler Lending Hub platform.

Peak announced earlier this year that it had signed an agreement with China UnionPay subsidiary, Rongbang Technology Ltd. (“Rongbang”) that will allow it to process payments, settle transactions and transfer funds between lending institutions, banks and the businesses that are part of its Lending Hub ecosystem. After holding several working sessions with Rongbang’s service implementation team, the Company has now completed the setup of the test environment where virtual replications of both the Lending Hub platform and the China UnionPay network will co-exist from this point forward. Setting up the test environment was identified as one of the key milestones for the Company leading up to the launch of services. Peak is now in position to simulate transactions, test and study the results, and, if need be, make the necessary adjustments in its development environment, all of which will lead to a better understanding of the UnionPay network prior to the services going live. Peak remains on track to launch the payment processing and fund transfer services on Lending Hub in the second quarter of 2021.

Cash Position Resulting from Exercise of Warrants:

Peak’s market performance over the past few months has placed virtually all of the Company’s issued and outstanding convertible securities “in the money”. That has triggered a regular and consistent exercise of Peak warrants since about the half-way point of the fourth quarter of 2020, and continued in 2021. Through the first two months of 2021, Peak received a total of $2,665,577 in cash as a result of the exercise of warrants, including a combined $500,000 from Peak’s CEO, CFO and China CEO. This puts the Company’s cash balance at more than $7.8M as of February 28, 2021.

VIDEO – AGORACOM Beyond The Expert With Venture Capitalist Leigh Hughes Discusses Small Cap Esports: $GMBL; $FANS / $FUNFF; $TGS; $ITM

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:50 PM on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021

AGORACOM followers have given us great feedback on our hit series “Beyond The Press Release” (BTPR) in which we speak with small cap CEO’s about important press releases in greater depth and, quite frankly, in layman’s terms for investors to truly understand their significance.

Whereas BTPR tells these stories from the side of small cap public companies, Beyond The Expert (BTE) tells these stories from the perspective of experts on these topics – and we couldn’t think of anyone better to start off this series than Leigh Hughes.

Leigh is a Venture Capitalist who I’ve personally watched conduct incredible due diligence and invest into many small cap companies that have generated incredible returns over 12-18 month periods.  

Leigh is so good at what he does that many global private equity funds and institutions take his call and often follow him into investments he chooses to make.  Moreover, he serves as an advisor to several small cap companies.

If you ever wanted to truly learn how to become a great small cap investor, it doesn’t get much better than this.

On today’s episode we discuss the outlook for esports, why it is so explosive and a few small cap esports companies to consider including:

  • Esports Entertainment Group (GMBL:NASDAQ)
  • FansUnite Entertainment (FANS:CSE / FUNFF:OTCQB)
  • TGS Esports (TGS:TSXV)
  • …. and newcomer Intema Solutions (ITM:TSXV) Who recently completed their acquisition of HypeX

Without further adieu, watch this great interview with Leigh Hughes and make sure to provide us with your feedback via comments on Twitter, YouTube or wherever you may be watching or listening.
