VIDEO – ThreeD Capital $IDK $IDKFF NAV Climbs To $1.27 But Much More Expected To Come As “Teenage” and “Cub” Investments In The Portfolio Are Just Starting To Hunt $IP $IPNFF $MTRX $RACMF $PKK.ca $PKKFF $GMBL

A lion pride grows by continually nurturing new blood.  While new cubs are born every year and are nurtured for growth, the teenagers are groomed to prepare to take over leadership from the old guard. 

In the case of ThreeD Capital (IDK:CSE / IDKFF:OTCQB), the company’s portfolio might be too young for any old guards just yet …. but teenagers like Esports Entertainment Group (NASDAQ), Peak Fintech Group (Imminent NASDAQ), Loop Insights (Global Partnerships) and ImagineAR (Global Partnerships) are maturing very nicely with their long leadership years still ahead of them according to Chairman Sheldon Inwentash. 

ThreeD Capital prides (pardon the pun) itself on discovering great companies before everyone else … and it casts a wide net to find the best of the best ranging from completely disruptive companies to junior resources and mining companies .  

More importantly, Inwentash’s championship investment style has netted billion dollar exits in the past simply because he isn’t afraid to invest and be patient for markets to catch up to his great early ideas.  Case in point, he points out how he was early into Esports Entertainment Group on the OTC, with the market only now catching up to it as an $18 NASDAQ stock …. that is set to go much higher in the next 2 -3 years. 

As such, it’s like and ETF for ground floor investments that small cap investors would either be unable to find (private) or unable to participate in (early round accredited investors) 

More than just lip service, his last company commanded a market cap north of $1 Billion at its peak and now he’s looking to recreate the same success with IDK – only faster given the great and fast growing technology companies he is investing in. 

Will he do it?  He’s off to a good start so far by quietly making investments over the past couple of years that are now starting to pay off, as seen by his recently reported NAV (Net Asset Value) of $1.27.   

But that NAV is just scratching the surface when you consider the fact his teens have just barely started their hunting phase and he’s adding new cubs just about every week as of late. 

Watch this great interview … because when the king of the jungle roars, every small cap investor should be listening.

What do you get when you combine the “Small Cap iGaming Super Company”  with the “Small Cap Esports Tournament & Broadcasting Leader”

A partnership that will launch the first ever prediction games for major live esports events.

TGS Esports (TGS:TSXV) partners with major brands to build and grow their esports communities via tournaments, broadcast production and events. 

FansUnite (FANS:CSE / FUNFF:OTCQB) will incorporate its wagering solutions into TGS events to establish a new platform where live audience predictions can be placed on multiple match outcomes within every white-label esports event run by TGS.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Viewers can make live predictions during TGS events for which they can win prizes if their selections are correct. Additionally, the prediction games from the platform will be featured on TGS’ Pepper esports platform which will enable all tournament organizers to offer predictions and rivalry challenges in their tournaments to their viewers.  If you thought TGS was the small cap esports tournament leader before, their offering just got supercharged! 

“Live predictions is a feature our brand partners have been asking us to implement for a long time,” said Spiro Khouri, CEO of TGS Esports Inc. “By implementing FansUnite’s technology into our esports events, TGS is able to increase the level of engagement between its fans and brands” 

For FansUnite, the partnership will enable them to showcase their prediction platform to a large audience of gaming spectators who participate regularly in TGS tournaments and other related esports events.  Moreover, it will showcase FansUnite’s ability to incorporate their proprietary stream prediction platform into any esports event or tournament, whether online or live in-stadium.

Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite stated “TGS collaborates with numerous esports event organizers who have a large following of enthusiastic esports gamers that participate in their events. Our online betting solutions coupled with TGS esports platform will enable us to attract a new and widening audience from these events.“

This is a great partnership made even better by the fact that we proudly represent both of these leaders!

VIDEO – Maitri Health Technologies $MTEC.ca Moves into High Gear, with Health Canada Approval of Domestically Manufactured #N95 Masks $DOC.ca $DOCRF $WELL.ca $PRN.ca

When COVID hit North America 12 months ago, there was no supply chain in place to handle the parabolic surge of demand for PPE (personal protective equipment – masks, shields, testing kits, etc.). 

An industry of “brokers” spawned overnight to fill the demand of buyers who were desperate and scrambling for product. In Canada, news reports highlighted how healthcare workers and businesses were shortchanged on international orders, or worse: shipped counterfeit or uncertified N95 masks that put people at greater risk of exposure and illness.

Enter Maitri: a global platform for healthcare supply security whose main focus provides a reliable source of certified PPE (personal protective equipment) and testing solutions through an onshore manufacturing model. 

  • The company has just been announced as one of the few manufacturers of domestically manufactured N95 masks to receive Health Canada certification
  • It’s a huge vote of confidence in the company and its products

Maitri’s model has led to the creation of innovative and industry leading products including 3D certified surgical masks and patent-pending face shields, all integrated with technology to help track, trace and enable safer workplaces and communities.

  • The global personal protective equipment market size is expected to reach USD $123.38bn by 2027,
  • That’s a CAGR of 9.6%.

Maitri CEO Andrew Morton talks us through the size of the market, the significance of the Health Canada certification, and the headline-grabbing $2m deal with Loop Insights:

VIDEO – Empower Clinics $CBDT and MedX Health $MDX #Teledermatology Pilot Will Detect Melanoma And Save Lives From Early Skin Cancer Detection $DMTK $LMD.ca $DOC.ca $DOCRF $WELL.ca $PRN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:23 PM on Thursday, March 18th, 2021

To understand the power of this Pilot program between Empower Clinics and MedX Health, you simply have to read the following … don’t gasp.  

“With only about 500 dermatologists available to serve over 37 million Canadians, the wait times to see a specialist in-person can be anywhere from five months to one year,” said Mike Druhan, President, Dermatology Services, MedX Health Corp. “The COVID-19 pandemic has nearly doubled the average wait period. We know that early detection of melanoma greatly increases the patient’s survival rate and reduces the cost to the health-care system. Partnering with Empower allows us to dramatically grow our patient base, and ultimately save more lives.”  

On March 10, 2021 Empower Clinics and MedX Health announced … MedX Health Corp. and Empower Clinics Inc. to Pilot World-Class Teledermatology Screening Platform at Select Ontario Integrated Health Centres.

If at first you thought this was only about pimples and dry skin, nobody could blame you.  But the fact of the matter is that over 80,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in Canada each year and more than 5,000 of these are melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

Unfortunately, due to the shocking shortage of dermatologists in Canada, many people are discovering melanomas too late and either dying or going through excruciating late-stage treatments that could have been treated by simple removal months earlier.

Empower Clinics in the midst of a national clinic rollout strategy that includes a partnership with Rexall to integrate health care centres right into some of their locations.  MedX Health, is in the midst of a global rollout with deals already signed in Brazil, Netherlands and Mexico … but not right in its backyard here in Canada.

Together the two companies are a powerful force and, if all goes well with the pilot over the next 4 months, will save untold lives by giving easy and fast access to Canadians who can complete a virtual dermatological assessment by a certified dermatologist within just 72 hours.  

How is that for a game changer?

Watch this great interview with Empower CEO Steve McAuley and MedX Health President of Dermatological Services, Mike Druhan.

Loop Insights is a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights and enhanced customer engagement to the brick and mortar space.  

What does this mean?  Loops real-time AI data capabilities changes everything about your check out experience at a brick and mortar store.  Up until now, you simply walked up to the register and paid your bill.  If you were lucky, you were handed some coupons for your next visit.  It didn’t matter if those coupons didn’t apply to you, everybody got one.

Loop “Insights”, on the other hand, uses data and artificial intelligence to instantly determine what would be important to you and makes you an offer on the spot to buy more product from the store or their e-commerce site.  More than just lip service, here is what Sobeys Chief Information Officer Bruce Burrows had to say: 

“Loop Insights’ diverse suite of services was an obvious fit for Sobeys as we look to drive consumer engagement and close gaps in our personalization of the customer experience. By testing Loop’s Fobi device in our retail operations, we hope to connect more directly with customers while returning AI-driven insights to optimize our retail operations.” 

“An obvious fit” for a company with $28 BILLION in revenue pretty much tells you everything you need to know … but if you think that sounds powerful, then you should know that it is just scratching the surface of Loop capabilities.   

To understand more, you need to watch this great interview with Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson.

VIDEO – POET Technologies $PTK.ca $POETF Discusses Significant Progress on Super Photonics Xiamen Joint Venture

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:54 PM on Wednesday, March 17th, 2021

When a small cap company enters into a developer and supply agreement with a technology leader in its space AND can’t name the company, that is typically a very good thing.

Understanding the world of Photonics isn’t the easiest thing small cap investors have had to understand.  In fact, it may be the very hardest thing they’ve ever had to understand.  However, given the fact we are the very reason current photonics devices aren’t living up to snuff trying to keep up with our surfing, streaming, binging and zooming – you start to see why understanding photonics and POET Technologies could open up investors to a whole new world.

We went beyond the press release with POET management to discuss its significant progress on Super Photonics Xiamen Joint Venture.

Joint Venture Highlights

  • Valued at $USD 50M
  • Revenue opportunity of $USD 250M annually by 2024-2025
  • Ability to scale production rapidly without cash investment by POET.       

Sit back, relax and watch this powerful interview with Poet Technologies.

VIDEO – KWESST $KWE.ca $KWEMF Hits A Key Milestone In The Digitization of The Modern Army $WRTC $BYRN.ca $PAT.ca $POWW

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:10 PM on Wednesday, March 17th, 2021

If you haven’t heard of KWESST Micro Systems (KWE:TSXV) you’re not alone because the Company just listed for trading a couple of months ago – and it is probably the coolest new listing of 2020 if you love high-tech, covert defense systems that we only get to see in Tom Cruise movies.

KWESST is a leader in “soldier systems” which are technologies that increase the capabilities of soldiers,  Let’s be clear right off the start, KWESST doesn’t sell weaponry.  Rather, it sells technologies that make a big difference to the safety and effectiveness of soldiers.

For example, out in a field of combat, soldiers emit Electro Magnetic (EM) signatures that make them detectable by enemy combatants.  KWESST has a battlefield decoy system that creates multiple false phantom signatures to spoof adversaries.  This picture is worth 1,000 words.

Or perhaps the “TASCS” – Tactical Awareness and Situational Control System

An App and snap-on weapon adaptor that enables real-time streaming of situational awareness data of any kind from any source, including drones, direct to smart display devices and operational assets, for a common operating picture and networked engagement.

Devices-10

The company successfully achieved an important milestone under the contract announced in December 2020 for a key military customer.

This milestone entailed the integration of the Company’s TASCS IFM (Integrated Fires Module) for the 81mm Mortar Fire Control System into the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), the preeminent battlefield management system for NATO countries . As a result, the Company will now proceed to the next phase of the contract, involving live-fire trials at various U.S. military bases.

A world-first in digitizing the function of a mortar team, from the identification of the target to the aiming of the mortar.

We could go on about many other such technologies created by KWESST but this is AGORACOM after all and we want to get down to the business of KWESST, the highlights of which are as follows: 

  • A developer of next-generation systems for forces around the world, including those of NATO and its allies
  • A leadership team whose experience spans decades and hundreds of millions of dollars in military and homeland security contracts
  • A sales and distribution network of agents that spans the globe
  • Partnerships with globally recognized OEM’s, including Samsung
  • Received a follow-on order for $1.1 Million from a key US Military Customer. 

And last but not least, a secret weapon in its Executive Chairman David Luxton, whose companies under his leadership have generated over $1,000,000,000 (Yes, BILLION).

The soldier systems market is projected to hit $14.5 Billion by 2023 and, up until  now, small cap investors have never had a company to participate in this lucrative (and SUPER COOL) market.

VIDEO – Datametrex AI $DM.ca $DTMXF Discusses Company’s M&A Growth Plans For Artificial Intelligence Division $PFM.ca $VQS.ca $SPOT.ca $ADK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:46 PM on Monday, March 15th, 2021

Datametrex AI Limited has the rare benefit that most small cap companies would only dream of …. 2 successful independent divisions that are each capable of being a company maker.  

The first division is their Artificial Intelligence driven social media monitoring and discovery product … and this isn’t some basic social media monitoring tool for keywords. Clients include Canadian Federal Government, DRDC, Health Canada, United States Air Force and LOTTE (a $2.6B South Korean multinational conglomerate.

The company announced that it has entered into an LOI to acquire 100% of Perspectum Drone Inspection Services Ltd. an arm’s length privately held artificial intelligence drone imaging predictive analytic services company.

Perspectum is a drone based imaging predictive analytics artificial intelligence (AI) services company, currently focusing on environmental and safety predictive analysis. Datametrex intends to expand the Perspectum platform into the Company’s core Cybersecurity business by integrating the Company’s AI with Perspectum.

“The impact of the acquisition of this AI business cannot be minimized. The demand for imaging predictive analytic reporting continues to be a large area of growth. As businesses and countries continue to work towards zero emissions and carbon neutral footprints, we believe that adding this imaging predictive AI element to our existing cybersecurity business will drive significant value for our stakeholders.”, said Marshall Gunter, Datametrex’s Chief Executive Officer.

As a result of the highest level security clearances required to do this level of work, Datametrex was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to add their second, though unintended division of COVID-19 test kit distribution.  Again, this isn’t some small cap stretch trying to capitalize on a trend for the sake of stock promotion. Rather, when the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries.

Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar COVID-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions.  

Sit back, relax and watch this powerful interview with Datametrex CEO Marshall Gunter.
