VANCOUVER, BC , Nov. 10, 2020 – PlantX Life Inc. (the ” Company ” or ” PlantX “) (CSE: VEGA ) (Frankfurt: WNT1) is pleased to announce its partnership with House Plant Shop who will assist PlantX with launching its U.S. plant vertical.

The partnership will allow PlantX, the digital face of the plant-based community and one-stop-shop for everything plant-based, to offer an extensive plant selection to its U.S. consumer base. House Plant Shop will make available all of its products from its California greenhouse to PlantX customers throughout the U.S. Over 200 variants of plant-related products will be immediately available to U.S. consumers including an extensive array of plants, pots, gardening tools, accessories and decorations with plans to eventually reach over 500 products. As House Plant Shop adds more products to its lineup, they will be added to the PlantX marketplace.

Since 2017, House Plant Shop has provided an accessible and affordable solution for everyday customers looking to purchase houseplants online. Its small operation started in a house and quickly grew into a well-equipped greenhouse in Southern California . Today, House Plant Shop supplies several large e-commerce companies, with PlantX being the latest to source its products for the Company’s online platform and its eventual brick and mortar location in San Diego . PlantX believes that the indoor plant market will be an important growth segment for the Company.

“We love to see our newly launched U.S. e-commerce platform expand like its predecessor PlantX.ca,” said Julia Frank , PlantX CEO. “We firmly believe that our U.S. plant vertical will generate massive revenue and growth.”

“House Plant Shop is excited to announce its partnership with PlantX, an innovative company focused on incorporating plants into everyday life,” said Andy Burde , House Plant Shop co-founder. “Together, both companies will continue to foster the plant community and encourage plant production over unnatural materials.”

PlantX will continue to expand its verticals on both its Canadian and U.S. e-commerce platforms, with plans to globally expand its platforms and offerings in its promotion of plant-based health, wellness, lifestyles, and education.

Vegaste Technologies Corp. $VEGA.ca adds Minor Figures oat milk to its online selection $BYND $TSN $CAG $FMCI $VERY $MEAT

  • Announce that the Company has added Minor Figures oat milk for sale on its PlantX e-commerce platform, www.PlantX.com
  • Minor Figures oat milk is a 100% plant-based, sugar-free oat milk. Using oats sourced from the UK and Belgium, Minor Figures oat milk is naturally engineered to pair well with coffee for the benefit of both baristas and consumers

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 15, 2020 – Vegaste Technologies Corp. (the “Company” or “Vegaste“) (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1), is pleased to announce that the Company has added Minor Figures oat milk for sale on its PlantX e-commerce platform, www.PlantX.com.

The addition allows PlantX, the digital face of the plant-based community and the one-stop-shop for everything plant-based, to further expand its category verticals, which now includes or will soon include plant-based vitamins and supplements from Stay Wyld Organics, pre-made meals from LA-based chef Gregg Drusinsky, groceries like Mid-Day Squares plant-based chocolate bars, and the Company’s own PlantX Canadian glacial water.

Minor Figures oat milk is a 100% plant-based, sugar-free oat milk. Using oats sourced from the UK and Belgium, Minor Figures oat milk is naturally engineered to pair well with coffee for the benefit of both baristas and consumers. This oat milk does not split in light roast coffees like it does in other brands and when steamed, it creates a micro-foam texture that is perfect for specialty coffee drinks. The production of oat milk demands less water than cow and other animal-based milks, thereby contributing to a smaller carbon footprint during its production.

Minor Figures is a rapidly growing brand that aims to provide food products using simple, natural ingredients with few additives and without compromising on flavor or quality.

“We are very excited to include Minor Figures oat milk in our online selection,” said Sean Dollinger, PlantX Founder. “We love this brand of oat milk, the ingredients are the cleanest and it’s the best taste we’ve all had in coffee.”

“PlantX and Minor Figures not only believe in providing the best quality products to consumers, but stand committed to building socially responsible business for the sustainability of our planet” said Toby Keil, Minor Figures West Coast Sales Director.

Since its inception in October 2019, the Company’s PlantX platform has quickly emerged as an industry leader. As the fledgling plant-based sector continues its explosive growth, the Company will be at the forefront by continually evolving and delivering new ways to expand PlantX. With its forward-looking, cutting edge approach, the Company will continue to secure significant partnerships across North America while exploring innovative ways to expand both its e-commerce capabilities and digital resources to help educate, inspire, and uplift consumers.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 14, 2020 – Vegaste Technologies Corp. (the “Company” or “Vegaste“) (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1), is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a partnership agreement (the “Agreement“) with Liv Marketplace LLC (“Liv Marketplace”) whereby Liv Marketplace will serve as the exclusive online fullfilment partner and retail distributor of the Company’s products in the United States. In addition, Liv Marketplace will establish and operate retail stores, coffee shops and cafes in the United States under the PlantX name beginning with the Company’s first store location in San Diego, California that is scheduled to open on December 1, 2020.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Liv Marketplace will purchase a minimum of US$25,000,000 (approximately CAD$33,000,000) of the Company’s products over a one year term for distribution in the United States. In addition, Liv Marketplace will pay the Company a 6% royalty on the gross revenue generated under the Agreement. Under this model, the Company will not have to incur additional US labour costs and will virtually have no carrying costs for inventory in the US due to Liv Marketplace fulfilling online orders using its facilities and staff.

Liv Marketplace will build and operate the Company’s first brick and mortar retail location in San Diego, California. The 4,515 square foot store will be located at 3930 5th Avenue in San Diego, California and will serve as the Company’s showcase store in the United States with over 5,000 plant-based products available for purchase and bring the Company’s current Canadian meal delivery service to the United States. The store will be a working prototype where consumers will be able to shop and check out products using their mobile device via the Company’s mobile app. COVID-19 safety protocols will be implemented in the store.

“The idea is for the San Diego location to help further that community vibe we have been creating online,” said Alexandra Hoffman, the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We want customers to come in and feel like they can ask anything. Education is always behind everything we do at PlantX, so this store will be a place where people can come in and find new ways to enhance their healthy lifestyles.”

“From the E-commerce side of things, heading into the holiday season we couldn’t ask for a better launch than December 1st,” said Sean Dollinger, PlantX founder.

“San Diego is the heart of diversity and all inclusion. After living here for all of my life, it is clear to say that this city radiates good energy and warmth,” said Lexi Namou, Liv Marketplace Direct of US Operations. “It’s a pleasure to expand with such an uplifting company while creating support for all plant-based lifestyles, and inspiring others who are yet to join this way of life as well. We couldn’t be more proud to expand our plant-based journey in a welcoming and supportive community.”

‘Having a brick and mortar location, especially in such a great neighborhood in San Diego, is a huge leap forward for us,” said Julia Frank, the Company’s CEO. “This is only the beginning of our expansion and will showcase the type of community we plan to build.”

VIDEO: Vegaste Technologies $VEGA.ca Closes 1st Day Of Trading With $75,000,000 Market Cap & Revenue Run Rate Of $US 3,000,000

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:02 PM on Monday, August 10th, 2020

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.
