The Ties That Bind GameStop $GME To PlantX Life $VEGA.ca $PLTXF $VERY.ca $MEAT.ca $EATS.ca $VEGN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, January 27th, 2021

As many of you have been watching the astounding rise of GameStop (GME:NASDAQ) it’s hard not to take notice of a company whose stock has had a 52-week low of $2.57 to a recent high of $380.

You may ask what a Fortune 500 company and a digital-first omni-channel retailer who offers games and entertainment products in its over 5,000 stores and comprehensive e-commerce properties across 10 countries has in common with PlantX Life Inc. (the “Company” or “PlantX”) (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC) an online/ brick and mortar one-stop-shop for everything plant-based has in common…

It’s simple. Ryan Cohen, GameStop (GME:NASDAQ) inside shareholder, Board Member and… Sean Dollinger, founder of PlantX Life (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC).  The relationship runs deep. Ryan Cohen and Sean Dollinger were 50/50 partners on 3 .coms. After the three websites, Cohen went on to start Chewy.com and Dollinger went on to start Namaste Technologies. Cohen exited Chewy.com with a highly publicized sale to (Petsmart (PETM: NASDAQ), Dollinger brought Namaste Technologies to a $1.2B market cap. 

In August of 2020, Ryan Cohen stepped into GameStop (GME:NASDAQ), took a sizable position in the company (~12%) and obtained 3 board seats. The stock instantly attracted a cult-like following. As a result, the company’s shares went from $4 to over $380.

Sean Dollinger founded PlantX in December 2019. As of April 2020 the Company had no revenue to speak of. Fast forward 8 months to December 2020 and PlantX Life (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC) generated gross monthly revenue of over $1M for the month. It’s interesting to point out that Cohen and Dollinger have very similar prowess especially within the e-commerce space. After-all, they learned everything about e-commerce together, and then went on their own paths to both build billion dollar e-commerce companies using the strategies they learned together.

PlantX Life (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC) maintains a first mover advantage as the first (known) public company fully focused on the plant-based e-commerce space.   The Company exhibits strong fundamentals with cash on balance sheet, no debt, low CapEx requirements and diverse revenue streams. The Company operates in three high-growth industries – the plant-based, e-commerce/technology and consumer-packaged goods sectors. PlantX continues strides for global reach with their intent to list on Nasdaq,  evidence of the company’s commitment to investor accessibility and corporate growth.

January 20, 2021 – AI/ML Innovations Inc. (CNSX :AIML.CN ) (OTC:FIRZF) , a company focused on acquiring and furthering Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, announces that its subsidiary, Health Gauge, successfully displayed its proof-of-concept deployment in a study funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, further validating its technology. Health Gauge was invited in 2019 to participate, as the sole technology provider, in a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded initiative with ICDDR , B (the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research of Bangladesh) on a research project to study ways to reduce pregnancy complications and mortality, by making healthcare more accessible using wearable solutions. Health Gauge was invited to participate in this study as a result of ICDDR,B’s learning of Health Gauge’s break-through solution in digital pulse and ECG analysis, using simple, affordable, and quality digital signal capture.  For this study, Health Gauge’s personal health monitoring solution, including its wearable device, smart phone app, and AI-driven cloud processing platform was used, in conjunction with the support of community-based health service providers.

Conclusion

Studies such as this validate the proof-of-concept of Health Gauge’s products, and show the vast and varied commercial opportunities available within Health Gauge’s bespoke business model. It speaks to the merits and importance of how Health Gauge’s latest generation solutions can help solve important community health problems, in affordable ways, while readily fitting into existing managed care programs – anywhere. Physicians, other healthcare professionals, and individuals can apply and adapt the Health Gauge solution to a number of different health conditions and settings for personal health monitoring and management – showing the larger value of Health Gauge’s device and applications.

Blood pressure related pregnancy maladies are of concern globally, and a leading cause of death amongst pregnant women. Health Gauge’s products have both the ability and opportunity to capitalize on this critical women’s health issue, while providing an invaluable service that has a direct impact on health outcomes.

Background

The study, which commenced in 2019, focused on serving pregnant women who were at risk of developing eclampsia, a hypertension-related significant health risk. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are extremely dangerous to both the mother and child, and are in fact one of the three leading causes of maternal death worldwide. While hypertension complicates 10% of all pregnancies and is responsible for 14% for all maternal deaths globally, in the developing world it is of even greater concern where mortality rates can be as high as 20%.
