How do you connect over 100M small businesses in China who need access to different kinds of credit …. with over 10K banks and lending institutions that have different lending criteria?
Well, if you try to do it the old fashioned way, you just can’t. This forces SMB’s (small and medium businesses) and Lenders to deal within local markets, which drastically reduces alternatives, competition and ultimately business …. while leaving both sides with a daunting, slow and inefficient manual workload.
ENTERS PEAK FINTECH
The Peak Fintech Lending Hub uses Artificial Intelligence and analytics to fully automate the process by which lenders and borrowers connect quickly and match perfectly across several market verticals.
When CEO Johnson Joseph says this AI-Powered platform is revolutionizing the Chinese SMB commercial lending ecosystem, they’re not just paying lip service … Peak Fintech is delivering results
Reported revenue growth of 293% to $11.2 million for the first half of 2020
Reported revenue growth of 236.% to $15.1 million for JUST Q3 (a record)
On pace to exceed Fiscal 2020 Targeting $40 million in revenues and $4 million in EBITDA.
Platform now has lending products from 54 different banks and lending institutions
Signed Agreement To Bring Lending Hub To 60,000 Online Electronics Stores
Stores would use Lending HUB to finance purchase of electronics inventory
100% market capture would translate into $1.35B in annual revenues
Signed Agreement With Italian Retailer Gruppo Coin to provide short-term loans to ~55,000 influencers with their own e-stores and ~ 120M total followers
…. and so much more
Everyone agrees that 2020 was Peak Fintech’s coming out party … but CEO JJ believes this is just the beginning as he looks forward to 2021 and beyond.

As the name implies, ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB) is an Augmented Reality Company … but they’re not just any AR company. Imagine enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience. Why is that important? Ask Apple CEO Tim Cook who stated
“AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”
For those of you that are just discovering Augmented Reality, “AR” is essentially a technology that lays digital images and graphics over the real world, typically by looking through your cell phone or special glasses. If you think it sounds like a gimmick, it isn’t. AR will create an entire new revenue stream for businesses, organizations and sports teams that will boggle the mind in the next 3 years.
ImagineAR provides small cap investors with an opportunity to participate in the growth of this mega market in the making …. and they they signed the MASSIVE brand contracts in 2020 to prove it:
“Shoppers Drug Mart is thrilled to be the global pioneer in integrating mobile augmented reality with virtual events.” (Karen Bossion, Director Conferences & Events)
We could go on but you get the pont …. and some of the smartest people in sports agree the Company is a best of breed company:
“In my 30 years working in sports and entertainment technology, I have never seen a solution that provides such a high level of interaction & engagement” (Chris Dill)
“The ImagineAR platform is years ahead of every other company today” (WaV Sports)”
“ImagineAR has one of the most amazing mobile technologies I have seen to date” (Gus Frerotte)
“The ImagineAR augmented reality platform is truly a gamechanger for sports organizations and athletes to deliver in-home mobile phone engagement” (WaV Sports)
2020 was a great year and a major turning point for ImagineAR and sets up the Company for an ever far better 2021 … which explains why our latest interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen is by far the best one of the year.

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.
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
A sales pipeline that stood at $93,000,000 (not a typo) as of August 2020
Already generating revenues in 2020
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.
Now you do. Meet KWESST Micro Systems. Watch this great interview with David Luxton himself to learn more about KWE and why it just received a follow-on order for $1.1 Million from a key US Military Customer. We’d tell you who it is but we’d then have to release KWE micro drones …. you know the rest.

“It basically obliterates transmission of this virus”
This was the testimony of Pierre Kory, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine at St. Luke’s Aurora Medical Center, delivers passionate testimony during the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on “Early Outpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution, Part II.”
We interviewed Leigh Hughes, newly appointed Advisor to MVMD who will be supporting the Company in the areas of M&A, corporate finance and pharmaceutical licensing, to provide us with further insight as to why the testimony of Dr. Kory is so relevant to MVMD … and why Dr. Kory actually called MVMD last week to discuss the Company’s involvement with Ivermectin.
Mountain Valley MD has traded over 50,000,000 shares in the last 3 trading days, so there is a clear need for information amongst retail investors.

Datamerex (DM:TSXV) 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.
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.
As a result, Datametrex has had its’ best year ever in the first 3 quarters of 2020 as follows:
Record revenue of $7.6 million for the nine-month 2020 period compared to $2.6 in 2019
Record revenue of $4.9 million was generated in Q3
First ever positive EBIDTA quarter
Watch this powerful interview with CEO Marshall Gunter to discuss the year that was … and why he’s so optimistic about 2021.

“Nearly 50% of industrial injuries and fatalities are alcohol related. Commercial Fleets suffer from over 11,000 alcohol related accidents every year. That rate is climbing and technology has failed to keep pace with this epidemic”
We hear it happening all the time … and can never understand why technology can’t be created to prevent the senseless amount of deaths and injuries every year on our roads and our workplace. SOBR Safe has answered the call with incredible technology that has to be seen to believed.
Watch this powerful interview with David Gandini, Chairman & Chief Revenue Officer SOBR Safe (SOBR: OTCQB).

Kontrol Energy (KNR:CSE) (KNRLF:OTCQB) is the Google NEST of smart building technology, with the Blue Chip client base to prove it. As such, when COVID-19 started shutting down buildings, arenas and complexes, their announcement the Receipt Of Positive Lab Results for Live COVID-19 Testing was taken very seriously by the investment community, with the stock smashing through to all-time highs and consolidating nicely in the $3.50 range.
Much of that consolidation came as a result of “impatient investors” who unrealistically demanded immediate and big sales agreements for the BioCloud unit, priced at $US 12,000 EACH. But KNR CEO Paul Ghezzi and his team know that real success comes from building a real foundation – and they did that in a mind boggling 3 months. We’ve been in the smallcap business long enough to know that pulling off the following in 3 months is damn near impossible, until now:
DISTRIBUTION – On December 1, 2020 KNR announced Entering into Exclusive Distribution Agreement with United Safety and Survivability Corporation for BioCloud Technology Distribution in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The exclusivity applies to the industries defined as buses, rail and locomotive, subways, ambulances, fire trucks, first responder and military vehicles, with applicable associated facilities in the geography of North America , Australia , and New Zealand . The exclusivity period is 12 months with a six month mutual renewal option and is based on 5,000 units of BioCloud per annum, on a best efforts basis, to retain exclusivity. Pricing will not be disclosed for industry competitive purposes.
In addition, KNR has also entered into two non-exclusive BioCloud distribution agreements covering Ontario and Saskatchewan.
MANUFACTURING – KNR has engaged OES Inc. a local design and contract manufacturer in London, Ontario to produce the BioCloud units. OES Inc. has a long and established history of assisting with the design and manufacturing of complex technology. Initial maximum capacity has been set at 10,000 units per month.
With all its ducks lined up and ready, CEO Paul Ghezzi says Kontrol is now well positioned for commercialization and believes 2021 is going to provide investors what they have long been waiting for. Well, at least those investors that didn’t think 3 months was an unreasonable amount of time do all of this in. Everybody else will just have to wait to see BioCloud in a building near them and wonder what could have been.
Watch or listen to this powerful interview with Kontrol Energy CEO, Paul Ghezzi.

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade. That isn’t a typo and the reasons are pretty clear – more jurisdictions are legalizing online gambling to get their hands on the tax revenue and the remaining 40% of people on the planet without internet access are going to get it.
Until recently, however, small-cap investors did not have a company that could provide them ground floor exposure to this massive market and its growth over the next 10 years. The industry was dominated by the big traditional gambling companies, who focus heavily on old fashioned gambling.
That all changes with FansUnite, the small cap iGaming super company that goes beyond simple gambling and attacks both sides of the iGaming market by offering both B2C and B2B gambling platforms.
More than just lip service, FANS recently announced a record October, with the highest increase in monthly revenue and gross margin in the Company’s history.
MALTA LICENCES DONE …. U.K. AND CANADA ARE NEXT
If that was all FANS accomplished in Q4, investors would be really happy … but watch this interview to hear just how big of an impact the Company’s 2 new Malta gaming licenses are to the future expansion of the Company. The business development doors are now wide open for Europe and 150 jurisdictions. Moreover, with the U.K. having its own gaming licenses, FANS is already in pursuit and is feeling confident given its success with Malta.
If that wasn’t enough, FANS is also strongly positioned for a proposed change to Canadian gambling laws that could become a massive opportunity for the Canadian gambling and gaming company.
If you are looking for a disruptive technology company that is well positioned to carve out its share of the massive online gambling world, then you need to watch or listen to this interview with FANS CEO, Scott Burton.

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 the launch of their LightBar solution for data centers. They did a great job explaining it in terms that are both compelling yet understandable.
Before watching this video, here is some important background information.
Photonics are critical to the next phase of semiconductor development. Semiconductors are an essential component of every electronic device on the planet.
Photonic devices create, detect and manipulate light. Laser generated light is fundamental to sensing, computing, data and telecommunications, which require the fastest transfer of data possible
For example – the biggest trends in computing today:
Cloud Computing
Artificial Intelligence
5G and Edge
HERE IS THE PROBLEM
Making photonics devices that are reliable is expensive in terms of both capital and labor.
Cost declines have not kept up with Moore’s Law, with most photonics devices built one at a time – and multiple different components must be able to interconnect seamlessly without constant testing.
The Result? Integration of components at wafer-scale has not been fully implemented even by the largest companies working for the past 20 years ….. UNTIL NOW
POET has developed a unique, disruptive and differentiating new entry into photonics markets.
The POET Optical Interposer™ Platform – patented photonics integration platform that enables lower cost and higher performance across a wide range of applications
Today’s press release announcing a line of high-performance remote laser light source products for applications in Cloud-Based Data Centers might very well take POET to a whole new level,
Watch this great first interview of many with
Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman and CEO
Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager
Thomas Mika, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
