Beyond Meat has become an $11 BILLION company by creating products designed to emulate beef. The basis of success has come from delivering the experience meat eaters have come to love (hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.) while also achieving the goal of eating healthier.
TAAT™ Beyond Tobacco™ mimics the experiences of cigarettes without nicotine or tobacco. It is engineered to closely emulate the sensory components of smoking a tobacco cigarette, including tasting and smelling just like tobacco.
E-cigarettes and vaping have failed despite existing for 15 years, driving most smokers back to cigarettes because they only perpetuate the problem of nicotine addiction while delivering a completely different user experience to smokers.
Under the leadership of experienced veterans from the tobacco industry, including and especially Philip Morris International, TAAT™ launched in the United States Just 7 weeks ago and has already received repeat orders from more than 60% of convenience and gas station customers.
How good was this launch?
“Out of all of the tobacco category products I have worked with, TAAT™ is an outlier in terms of the level of demand it has had in its early stages. I have launched dozens of new tobacco brands across Canada as well as in the Caribbean, and while many of the new products were reordered by retailers in their first several weeks on the market, none of them were reordered by anywhere near 60% of stores that initially carried them. …. I have confidence that we could replicate these outcomes both in Ohio and in other markets where we may introduce TAAT™ in the future.” – TAAT Chief Revenue Officer Tim Corkum (former commercialization executive for Philip Morris International)
How big is the market TAAT is going after? Tobacco is used by:
34M adults in America, equating to 215 BILLION cigarettes sold in 2018
1.3 billion people worldwide
… and almost all of them aspire to leave nicotine behind. Beyond Tobacco™ from TAAT is about to give them what they want and, if they succeed, give shareholders “Beyond Belief” returns in the next 2-3 years.

There is no denying the world of esports was already on a rapid growth rate prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, according to TGS Esports (TGS:TSXV), the growth and awareness of esports over the past several months has accelerated the industry by at least a couple of years, if not more.
Recognizing this trend, TGS pivoted quickly from venue based esports to becoming a leader in esports events, sponsorship and productions. More than just lip service, tournaments hosted to date have been sponsored by the likes of:
Pepsi
Red Bull
7-11
Shaw Cable
More than just events, TGS also creates high quality production value out of these events, which have already seen more than 20,000 hours of viewership on Twitch and featured on GINX Esports TV (Canada), with the potential to expand with GINX to over 50 countries.
If the story ended there, TGS would have the makings of a great early stage esports story …. but it doesn’t
$2 MILLION FINANCING + $6 MILLION ACQUISITION OF “PEPPER ESPORTS”
The recent acquisition of Pepper Esports takes the TGS offering to a whole different level by providing everyone from enterprise sized clients to small business to a group of buddies to create their own esports tournaments. The platform is so powerful it will handle everything from registration to game play, prize payouts and everything in between that an entity needs to host a successful esports tournament.
Awesome right? No, it gets better.
Hosting your own esports tournament is FREE. TGS and Pepper figured out that the best way to get mass usage of their platform is to make it $0 upfront and generate $$ from revenue share on all transactions that take place during the tournament.
When you bolt on the fact that TGS can now broadcast that tournament, the Company believes its offering can’t be matched anywhere in the world.
We like it so much that we’re already considering hosting Agoracom esports tournaments for clients and shareholders who can either play or watch.
And it seems as if the market feels the same way given the fact they doubled their financing from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 due to oversubscribed demand.
Watch this great interview with TGS CEO Spiro Khouri to find out more details about the Company’s growth within the fast growing world of esports.
