The Tortoise and the Hare is the famous fable most of us grew up with that teaches this very important lesson – you can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly. Said another way, slow and steady wins the race.
Avicanna (AVCN:TSX) (AVCNF:OTCQB) (0NN:Frankfurt) is the Hare. The company very few paid attention to because it started off the Cannabis stock market race slowly and surely, while all the other rabbits ran so quickly to win the race that they ended up tripping over themselves or getting so exhausted they couldn’t finish the race.
You know who those companies are. All flash, big promises, big promotions, big stock prices ….. and HUGE disappointments.
Avicanna has surpassed all of them and is starting to pick up speed. When Avicanna says it is vertically integrated, it isn’t a buzz word, it’s the real story with 4 fully operating divisions that are hitting on all cylinders including, Tier-1 National Partnerships, Global Distribution, Medical Acceptance and History Making Sales.
Here is a snapshot of what we are referring to, followed by an incredible interview with CEO, Aras Azadian, whose quiet confidence sends the following powerful message –

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.
$5,000,000 Financing In Support Of The Acquisition
World Renowned Team
…. And now FANS just entered the US market in record time thanks to a partnership that saved them 12-24 months and millions and millions of dollars.
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 our interview with FANS CEO, Scott Burton.

Hollister Biosciences (HOLL:CSE). is a multi-state operator with multiple, high-quality products that are now carried in 230 of California’s 600 dispensaries, where it also claims California’s #1 hash infused pre-roll “HashBone” + another 80 Arizona dispensaries with some of the best concentrate in the State.
But given the state of disappointment in the Cannabis industry over the last 15 months, none of that would mean anything without actual results shareholders and the industry could celebrate. In that regard, Hollister does not disappoint with Q2 numbers coming in as follows:
RECORD REVENUE of $US 8.47M, compared to $200,000 last year and representing an increase of 4,170%
NET INCOME of $300,000, compared to a loss of $2.1M, representing a turnaround of $2.4M over last year
There isn’t a small cap cannabis company that would not cheer for these results – if that was all they had. These numbers are a company maker. But Hollister is set to continue growing on several fronts, including a Direct To Consumer model and further big expansion in California.
Watch this incredible interview with President Alex Somjen.

Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV) could very well be the best e-commerce technology company we’ve seen in the past 10 years. We thought it when we saw it for the first time … and then the thinking really took hold when we showed Loop’s technology to retailer friends of ours, who jumped out of their phones.
So what does Loop do?
As their name suggests, they close the loop between brick and mortar locations and their e-commerce stores
But how do they do that?
Well, we know that all e-commerce sites have easy access to real-time insights, which leads to personal marketing. That’s how:
Amazon recommends a product based on a real-time purchase you are making;
Spotify recommends music based on music you are listening to in real-time;
NetFlix recommends other movies based on what you just watched.
What Loop is doing is creating that same experience for you in a physical retail location, which has NEVER been done. Whether you are in a hotel, casino, store, or stadium, Loop’s disruptive capability creates a real-time increase in spend, loyalty, foot traffic and wallet share. But don’t just take our word for it, here is what the largest brick & mortar CBD retailer in America had to say:
“There’s no greater time to utilize top-tier artificial intelligence technology to gain an edge in this industry. Our customer base is huge, and it’s important to understand their needs and preferences to maximize basket size, loyalty and wallet share. We look forward to working with Loop and building unparalleled experiences for our customers.”
If that wasn’t enough, here is what MTRX announced last month:
Now you know why we’re calling Loop Insights the best e-commerce technology company we’ve seen in 10 years.

When a globally renowned technology company (PyroGenesis) with an $800 million market cap signs a Development Agreement with your Company (HPQ Silicon) to develop Silicon capable of replacing graphite for Lithium-ion batteries, investors are forced to stand up and take notice.
When the CEO of HPQ then says the following, you have to start wondering what the 2 companies know that the rest of us don’t:
“This agreement allows us to devote all our efforts in a dedicated entity focused on starting, as soon as possible, the PUREVAP NSiR and shipping samples of our Silicon nanomaterials.”
There is no shortage of small cap companies claiming they want to supply materials to the Lithium-Ion battery market …. but only one of them is pursuing the material that can increase capacity by as much as 10X ….. Silicon.
HPQ Silicon (HPQ:TSXV) isn’t just pursuing Silicon, they are on the verge of providing the market with multiple high-value silicon products sought after by Corporations building the next generation of Lithium-ion batteries, including not one but TWO (2) undisclosed companies that are already under NDA with HPQ Silicon.
One of the best parts? HPQ Silicon doesn’t have to worry about capital expenditure barriers that come with mining battery metals …. because Silicon is manufactured and HPQ has a patented process to manufacture Silicon at some of the lowest prices in the world. A process that is fully funded all the way through to their pilot plant.

The dawn of the psychedelics industry could not have come at a more needed time for humanity, as global events have served to exacerbate mental health issues related to anxiety and depression. Investors will need help identifying best of breed psychedelics companies and a review of the Red Light Holland story is all you need to know about where the Company is going.
Red Light Holland (TRIP:CSE) is a psychedelics company focused on the development of premium “magic” truffles in the Netherlands. More than just lip service the Company already has these two very strong pillars in place:
TEAM – In order to help guide the company’s development and operations in the psychedelics space, TRIP has signed former Canopy Growth CEO Bruce Linton as chair of its advisory board and Former Canadian Health Minister, Tony Clement, as Senior Advisor. Company President Hans Derix is a native of the Netherlands and an expert in the space with over a decade of accomplished experience.
BUSINESS – The Company’s recreational brand of magic truffles are expected to be sold in the Netherlands through existing Smart Shops by mid-September, as well as, its e-commerce platform through microdose packs. To this end, TRIP has already commenced growing its first crop of magic truffles months ahead of schedule. The initial batch of approximately 100,000 grams of magic truffles available in late October, 2020.
As if that wasn’t enough, TRIP has also produced a virtual reality experience for prospective customers who want to experience the effects of their products before actually trying it. The AGORACOM thesis of small cap wealth this decade is the convergence of emerging technologies – but even we didn’t foresee the explosive intersection of virtual reality and psychedelics!
If you believe in the future of Psychedelics and Psilocybin in particular, then this interview with Todd Shapiro, CEO of Red Light Holland will be a TRIP.

AGORACOM prides itself on becoming the discovery platform of emerging disruptive companies …. and we’ve discovered another one today in Vegaste Technologies, an e-commerce driven platform that is delivering all things plant-based to customers across Canada right now.
Vegaste has already started with both plant-based food meals directly to homes, thanks to partnerships right across the country – but isn’t stopping there as it adds hundreds of products to the platform. More than just lip service, Vegaste is already on a $US 3,000,000 run rate and that will probably accelerate in the coming months as marketing and additional products kick in.
Vegaste Founder, Sean Dollinger, is no stranger to AGORACOM followers as he was the Co-Founder behind wildly successful Namaste Technologies before it fell on hard times experienced by the cannabis industry. In addition to bringing back his immense e-commerce capabilities, he’s also implemented some valuable lessons learned at Namaste when it comes to corporate governance and share structure.
One of those lessons was appointing Julia Frank as CEO and giving her the team necessary to focus on doing the best job possible. Julia’s experience combines both start-up and big corporation structures thanks to being part of start-up teams within both BMW and Daimler in Germany.
Vegaste is hot off the listing press, so if you ever wanted to get a jump on your fellow investor it doesn’t get much fresher than this ….. unless you’re ordering a plant based meal off their platform at www.PlantX.com
If you believe in the paradigm shifting nature of plant based foods, be sure to watch and share this great interview with Vegaste CEO Julia Frank CEO & Founder Sean Dollinger.

If you were a small cap Augmented Reality company from Vancouver that needed to appoint an old media / new media powerhouse to head up your European sales operations, we really don’t think you could have found someone better credentialed than Michael Anderson – and that’s exactly what ImagineAR (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) did.
Anderson is a highly regarded leader in the world of digital with his roots firmly based in UK media. Part entrepreneur, part corporate animal, he quickly rose through the ranks ending up as Managing Director of News UK. He worked for Rupert Murdoch and Les Hinton during his rise to the top and made the Board room of both News UK and Associated Newspapers (publishers of the Daily Mail).
Sensing the changing winds of the media business, Anderson was a driving force on the launch team of Metro, which overtook The Sun in 2018 as the largest circulation of any newspaper in the UK. At Metro, he was instrumental in the paper being cited as a new business case with commercial results not seen previously in the newspaper industry, growing revenue from £100k a week to £1m per week in just 12 months. Additionally, Mike was the founder of the Chelsea APPS Factory which included UK clients KPMG, Ladbrokes, Standard Life, TfL, Vanquis and Waitrose.
….. And now he is sensing another change in the winds to put his considerable talents and team behind the Augmented Reality solutions of ImagineAR.
If you don’t know what Augmented Reality (AR) is, this quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook is all the motivation you need to get up to speed:
“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”
Anderson wholeheartedly agrees, stating “ImagineAR is the most advanced AR platform in the market today and I am excited to launch the company’s sales and marketing initiatives in the UK and Europe.”
That quote is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch what Anderson has to say about the “unlimited possibilities of Augmented Reality” and some pretty good hints about whose doors he will be knocking on first …. which is pretty impressive given the fact August is vacation season in Europe 🙂
If our interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen and Michael Anderson is any indication, it sounds like the Company’s growth into the UK and Europe is all but assured in 2020 and well beyond.
