4 weeks ago we interviewed BetterU (BTRU:TSXV) CEO Brad Loiselle from his head office in Ottawa with the title “BetterU On The Move In India With Partnerships, Products and Personnel†Â
2 weeks ago we interviewed him again from India where he and Gurmit Singh were on a whirlwind tour of meetings with large potential customers
Today, we finished our BTRU tour with Brad in London and, specifically, in the back seat of a good old black cab as he raced for the airport after his final meeting. He simply couldn’t wait to be back in Ottawa on Monday because – as you can see from his energy – it appears the trip went exceedingly well from a customer acquisition point of view as Brad expects to be closing meaningful deals in the very near future. Moreover, the London meetings were tied to financing pitches with VERY big family offices. Â
This last few weeks has put a new light on BTRU, with significant advances in product and personnel, which appear to be preparing for highly anticipated new customers. Only time will tell but how many CEO’s would be speaking with their shareholders from 3 different countries over the last 4 weeks if they weren’t feeling pretty confident?

Grab a coffee, watch this great interview with Brad Loiselle and let us know what you think.
When it went public in September of last year, Bougainville Ventures (BOG:CSE) started out as a cannabis real estate company, providing turnkey greenhouse solutions to tenant growers with a long-term goal of emulating the McDonald’s real estate model. That model is still at the core of BOG but company principals are using their expertise to slowly but surely create a vertically integrated powerhouse. More than just lip service, the Company has announced the following in 2019 and we haven’t even hit June yet:
We sat down with Bougainville Director, Richard Cindric to find out how these significant developments all tie in together as the Company races towards becoming a vertically integrated player.
2 weeks ago we interviewed BetterU (BTRU:TSXV) CEO Brad Loiselle from his head office in Ottawa with the title “BetterU On The Move In India With Partnerships, Products and Personnel”
Today, he’s literally on the move as we interview him directly from India where he and Gurmit Singh, the company’s newest addition and Former Managing Director of Yahoo India and CEO Forbes India, are on a whirlwind tour of meetings throughout India where they are presenting BetterU to some very (VERY) large companies and organizations. As you will soon see for yourself, reaction and response to the BetterU Education Marketplace has been excellent, with the company expecting to generate meaningful agreements in the very near future.
The great thing about interviews is that CEO’s can’t hide behind text based corporate jargon. Rather, investors are given a great opportunity to read body language, facial expressions and voice fluctuations to gauge just how confident (or lack thereof) the CEO actually is. I know I do …. and I told Brad on-air that his confidence and happiness was bursting through the screen. Adding to this is the fact that Gurmit Singh was sitting right beside him, without a mic, chiming in some answers, which leads viewers to believe things are going really well.
Naturally, we’ll let you be the final judge. Grab a coffee, watch this great interview with Company CEO, Brad Loiselle and let us know what you think.
HPQ Silicon (HPQ:TSXV) has been quietly moving towards its major goal of becoming the world’s lowest cost and cleanest producer of solar grade silicon metal. That sounds like a pipedream … until you consider its two technical partners, PyroGenesis Canada (a global leader in plasma torch technologies) and Apollon Solar (one of the world’s leaders in renewable energies). These globally renown technology leaders aren’t going to lend their name to a project that isn’t capable of becoming world class. Moreover, PyroGenesis joined the Province of Quebec to invest $5.2 million into HPQ in mid-2018.
Together, they’ve created a process that converts quarts into high purity silicon metal, with the ultimate goal of producing their own solar cells …. and they are doing it at cost leves, both CAPEX and OPEX, that are set to blow the doors off the world’s incumbent players and could position HPQ as a serious player in the solar world. On top of that, they are all but evaporating the dirty dirty (not a typo) process of producing solar grade silicon metal that most regular people never knew about.
HPQ Silicon is about to commence pilot plant testing in mid-2019 but were able to achieve one more major milestone with their 2nd Generation testing machine. If you love discovering solar or renewable energy companies, watch this HPQ Interview and make sure to do your due diligence at https://agoracom.com/ir/HPQ-SiliconResources
Bougainville (BOG:CSE) has laid a strong foundation for growth – literally – by establishing itself as the landlord to smaller USA marijuana growers that needed a turnkey solution. With it’s first tenant moving into 10,000 square feet this June in Washington State and adding another 20,000 thereafter, the Company is confidently branching out to become a vertically integrated producer and retailer in Canada.
Most companies would be happy with two lines of business but BOG is adding a 3rd line via Hemp CBD production in Oregon.
Watch this video to learn more about Bougainville Ventures (BOG:CSE).
PyroGenesis is one of Canada’s greatest small cap technology companies, with several successful divisions that are succeeding both globally and at the highest levels of business. The common denominator for each of them is the company’s plasma torch technology. For example, 2 US Aircraft Carriers (and 2 more on the way) have integrated Pyro’s plasma torch technology for environmental applications. At $13 Billion per carrier now, one can only imagine the hyper-stringent hoops PyroGenesis had to pass – which puts their technology at the world class level.
In addition to other equally impressive applications, the company’s 3D printing (additive manufacturing) division has also achieved great success in the past year, culminating with a mutually exclusive partnership agreement with Aubert & Duval, a subsidiary of the ERAMET Group with 2017 sales of approximately $CDN 5.4 Billion and assets of approximately $CDN 4.9 billion. For over 100 years, Aubert & Duval has been a world leader in industrializing high-performance steel, super alloy, aluminum and titanium alloys. More specifically, they are a recognized supplier of metal powders for additive manufacturing, serving the Aerospace, Energy, Transport, Medical, Defense, Automotive and other large scale, demanding markets.
Just recently, for the second year in a row, the company was nominated for materials company of the year at the 3D printing awards.
Today, PyroGenesis announced the spinout of its 3D printing division in order to unlock value for shareholders and become more attractive to institutional investors that are strictly focused on 3D printing. In addition, the company believes that uplisting will also make both the new company and the existing company more attractive to institutional investors that are precluded from investing on junior exchanges.
We were proud to sit down with CEO, Peter Pascali, and discuss all the benefits and implications of this major development. Grab your favourite drink, sit back and watch this great interview!
