The first goal of the Pilot, was for Loop to achieve exponential scale through a channel reseller distribution partnership for its Insights service with TELUS, which has now been achieved.
The second goal of the Pilot is a rollout of Loop’s Insights service to ALL TELUS corporate stores. That hasn’t happened yet but Loop has advised it will provide an update on this when it becomes available.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL
Signing of the 2nd deal with TELUS has apparently started the Loop phone ringing off the hook, including continued discussions with other major telcos. Earlier this year, Loop reported it was speaking to 4 major telecom companies on both sides of the border.
Finally, with the Company’s #VegasBubble 100% delivered and executed, Loop CEO Robert Anson talks about the ripple effects of being the first company in the world to protect a major event.
Watch this great interview with Loop CEO Rob Anson.

Binovi Technologies (VISN:TSXV) is a Vision Therapy and Training Company that goes well beyond fixing eyes that simply can’t read letters on an eye chart. That’s what your optometrist does when they prescribe glasses.
What Binovi does is far more exciting and groundbreaking. Without getting scientific, Binovi delivers higher performing brains by optimizing the performance of your eyes. The result is a faster brain through stronger eyes, which creates quite the edge for the world’s best athletes and explains why their client list includes:
Dallas Stars (NHL)
Chicago Cubs (MLB)
Sporting KC (MLS)
Tennis Canada
Showcased During NFL Scouting Combine
Eli Wilson Goaltending – The World Leader In Hockey Goaltending Development
BUT EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, TERRY BOOTH, HAS A DIFFERENT AND BIGGER VISION (PARDON THE PUN) FOR BINOVI – GLOBAL CHILDREN
When Terry’s daughter was 5 years old, she developed eye problems that could only be treated by patching – something he says would be considered “barbaric” today. Terry discovered that 1 in 4 kids (not a typo) have vision problems beyond those treatable by an optometrist. This was a global, epidemic without a solution that often leads to kids losing critical learning time and self-confidence by Grade 3.
Fast Forward 30 years and Terry finally found the solution – Binovi – but not before he and his science team put CEO Adam Cegielski and the Company through the ringer. When the due diligence was complete, Terry Booth was all in with ~ $500,000 of his own money now invested, plus more from his network. Most importantly, he’s bringing his entire science, government and finance network to the table to bring Binvoi to children around the world.

We all remember the crash of “blockchain” smallcap stocks a couple of years back, which was actually a crash of blockchain pretenders who used the term to build stock promotions, as opposed to building actual blockchains.
Like the dot-com crash of 2000, which bankrupted “dot-com” companies but gave birth to the likes of Google, Amazon, Linkedin because they built actual utility and value, the same can be expected of the blockchain crash and its resurgence.
Blockchain Foundry is a “Blockchain 2.0” company that has survived and is thriving. More than just lip service, take a look at the following highlights:
Revenue for 9 months of 2020 (ending Sept 30) ~$1.1M
113% Year Over Year Growth
Net Income $140,000 = $610,000 Improvement
Completed development agreement with a large Canadian financial institution valued at approximately C$400,000;
Partnered with Binance, the largest digital asset trading platform in the world, to leverage the Syscoin platform.

Facebook and other tech giants showed the world that sharing our private data and profiting from it is a major issue. It became such a major issue that sweeping laws have been enacted in Europe (GDPR) and the United States (CCPA) that not only puts a stop to these practices but also demand that individuals are given the opportunity to take control of their digital identities – and even profit from them.
The term is often referred to as “Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)” and though it sounds kind of complicated, it actually sounds like music to the ears of investors that want to learn more about this massive global trend.
KABN is the small cap company that is leaps and bounds ahead of any other small cap company in this space. Their technology is damn cool (check out www.LiquidAvatar.com) and their global recognition is even better given their recent addition to the Trust Over IP Foundation as a Steering Member, joining the likes of IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and other global giants that are forming an ecosystem around SSI
This is a global paradigm shift that you DO NOT want to miss because it is happening right now and KABN is the leading small cap company for investors to gain exposure.
Watch this powerful interview with KABN CEO David Lucatch.

PyroGenesis (PYR:TSX) recently UP-Listed to the TSX from the TSX Venture on the strength of some major sales agreements for its plasma torch technology. Specifically, PYR announced an $11.5M sales to the US Navy for systems on two aircraft carriers, as well as, a $25M + contract for use by one of the biggest high-tech aluminum smelters in the world.
Yesterday, PYR announced the signing of an initial plasma torch contract with a Major Iron Ore Producer. The initial sale amount of $1.8M (for just 1 unit) doesn’t come close to the size of the agreements above – but it follows the exact same game plan of starting small and finishing big, something the Company alluded to in the press release quote which stated the following;
“It is expected that future sales with this Client will include a separate continued after-sale services agreement. The Client is a multi-billion-dollar international producer of iron ore pellets, one of the largest in the industry, whose name will remain confidential for competitive reasons. The Client, which has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, has over ten (10) plants, each possibly requiring up to 50 plasma torches.”
The math has not alluded investors, who first had a slew of their own questions which CEO Peter Pascali answered as part of this great interview.

2020 has been a disappointing one for the once euphoric cannabis industry thanks to the fallout of over-hyped and over-financed companies that failed to deliver on a fraction of their promises.
The year 2000 saw the exact same thing happen to “dot-com” companies that failed in even more spectacular fashion. Many investors swore off internet stocks forever.
The smart ones waited to see which companies were real … and the rest was history as we saw the birth and growth of internet companies that delivered real value, products and customers.
The same is about to happen in the Cannabis space. With the market estimated to hit $70 Billion over the next few years, there is very little doubt that winners will be created out of companies delivering real businesses.
Enter Innocan Pharma Corporation (INNO:CSE) (IP4: FSE) and it’s incredible team of accomplished scientists led by CEO Iris Bincovich.
As a Cannabis investor, why limit yourself to a Company with just one specialty, when InnoCan offers you exposure to both the exploding world of cannabis pharma, as well as, a portfolio of patent-pending and launch ready consumer health products, the latter of which have already announced distribution and manufacturing agreements throughout Europe and the United States.
If you believe in the future of the cannabis and companies delivering real, value-add CBD products, then watch this interview with Innocan CEO, Iris Bincovich.

ThreeD Capital (IDK:CSE / IDKFF:OTCQB) prides itself on discovering great companies before everyone else … and it casts a wide net to find the best of the best ranging from precious metals companies to completely disruptive companies. Moreover, IDK isn’t afraid to invest and be patient in both public and private companies.
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)
It is able to do all this and do it well under the leadership of one of the greatest investors in Canadian history – Sheldon Inwentash, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of IDK. Inwentash’s track record of success speaks for itself, including successful exits in the hundreds of millions and even billions in previous years. His last company commanded a market cap north of $1 Billion and now he’s looking to create another success out of IDK.
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. In this interview Inwentash discusses:
His investment philosophy
A couple of his recent investments in Peak Fintech (PKK:CSE) and Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV)
Why he’s investing heavily in gold juniors
Why he’s investing heavily in blockchain companies + their tokens
Best of all, after one hell of a ride for the financial markets in 2020, Inwentash talks about why 2021 “is the year to be all in”
Watch this great interview … because when a legendary financier speaks, every small cap investor should be listening.
