VIDEO – AGORACOM Beyond The Expert Welcomes Venture Capitalist Leigh Hughes To Discuss Mountain Valley MD $MVMD, Valeo Pharma $VPH $VPHIF and Xphyto Therapeutics $XPHY $XPHYF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:36 PM on Thursday, February 11th, 2021

AGORACOM followers have given us great feedback on our hit series “Beyond The Press Release” (BTPR) in which we speak with small cap CEO’s about important press releases in greater depth and, quite frankly, in layman’s terms for investors to truly understand their significance.  

Nowhere is this more important than in the world of disruptive technologies, biotech and pharma.  Each of these industries share two distinct traits:

  • The possibility for explosive growth with disruptive new products
  • Difficulty in conveying disruptive new products that, by their nature, have never been seen before by investors.

Whereas BTPR tells these stories from the side of small cap public companies, Beyond The Expert (BTE) tells these stories from the perspective of experts on these topics – and we couldn’t think of anyone better to start off this series than Leigh Hughes.  

Leigh is a Venture Capitalist who I’ve personally watched conduct incredible due diligence and invest into many small cap companies that have generated incredible returns over 12-18 month periods.    

Leigh is so good at what he does that many global private equity funds and institutions take his call and often follow him into investments he chooses to make.  Moreover, he serves as an advisor to several small cap companies.

If you ever wanted to truly learn how to become a great small cap investor, it doesn’t get much better than this.  

Without further adieu, watch this great interview with Leigh Hughes and make sure to provide us with your feedback via comments on Twitter, YouTube or wherever you may be watching or listening.

VIDEO – PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Goes Live For Q&A With Shareholders As Market Cap Surpasses $1 BILLION

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:02 PM on Tuesday, February 9th, 2021

To say that PyroGenesis Canada (PYR:TSX) and its CEO, Peter Pascali, share a mutual love and respect with shareholders unlike anything we have ever seen is not an overstatement.  

This is a group (Company, CEO and Shareholders) that have been through the highs and lows of PyroGenesis over the years TOGETHER.  That bond only got tighter when Pascali took to the PYR Verified Forum on AGORACOM to speak with investors directly and openly with his first ever post on June 21, 2017 followed by more than 20 in-depth videos in which he took his engagement with investors even deeper by answering every single question possible to the best of his ability.  

Knowing this, it should not surprise anybody learning about PyroGenesis for the first time that shareholders have coined the rallying call of “In Peter We Trust”.  

Today PyroGenesis, Pascali and shareholders shared another major milestone together in a live Q&A that coincided with PyroGenesis surpassing a $1 BILLION MARKET CAP.  It was an incredibly special event that could not be made clearer than by many of the questions and comments that referred not just to the Company’s bottom – but to its soul and philosophy.    

I’ve never seen it before.  All I can say is that it is a thrill to be witness to and part of something this deeply special in an industry that rarely looks beyond the next quarter.  

Congratulations to Peter, the Pyro team and this incredible group of shareholders.  

George and the AGORACOM team.  

Watch, listen and enjoy today’s interview with CEO Peter Pascali.

The Ties That Bind GameStop $GME To PlantX Life $VEGA.ca $PLTXF $VERY.ca $MEAT.ca $EATS.ca $VEGN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, January 27th, 2021

As many of you have been watching the astounding rise of GameStop (GME:NASDAQ) it’s hard not to take notice of a company whose stock has had a 52-week low of $2.57 to a recent high of $380.

You may ask what a Fortune 500 company and a digital-first omni-channel retailer who offers games and entertainment products in its over 5,000 stores and comprehensive e-commerce properties across 10 countries has in common with PlantX Life Inc. (the “Company” or “PlantX”) (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC) an online/ brick and mortar one-stop-shop for everything plant-based has in common…

It’s simple. Ryan Cohen, GameStop (GME:NASDAQ) inside shareholder, Board Member and… Sean Dollinger, founder of PlantX Life (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC).  The relationship runs deep. Ryan Cohen and Sean Dollinger were 50/50 partners on 3 .coms. After the three websites, Cohen went on to start Chewy.com and Dollinger went on to start Namaste Technologies. Cohen exited Chewy.com with a highly publicized sale to (Petsmart (PETM: NASDAQ), Dollinger brought Namaste Technologies to a $1.2B market cap. 

In August of 2020, Ryan Cohen stepped into GameStop (GME:NASDAQ), took a sizable position in the company (~12%) and obtained 3 board seats. The stock instantly attracted a cult-like following. As a result, the company’s shares went from $4 to over $380.

Sean Dollinger founded PlantX in December 2019. As of April 2020 the Company had no revenue to speak of. Fast forward 8 months to December 2020 and PlantX Life (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC) generated gross monthly revenue of over $1M for the month. It’s interesting to point out that Cohen and Dollinger have very similar prowess especially within the e-commerce space. After-all, they learned everything about e-commerce together, and then went on their own paths to both build billion dollar e-commerce companies using the strategies they learned together.

PlantX Life (VEGA:CSE) (PLTXF:OTC) maintains a first mover advantage as the first (known) public company fully focused on the plant-based e-commerce space.   The Company exhibits strong fundamentals with cash on balance sheet, no debt, low CapEx requirements and diverse revenue streams. The Company operates in three high-growth industries – the plant-based, e-commerce/technology and consumer-packaged goods sectors. PlantX continues strides for global reach with their intent to list on Nasdaq,  evidence of the company’s commitment to investor accessibility and corporate growth.
