BUILDING THE ONE-STOP AI EVENT SOLUTIONS PROVIDER
What happens when an emerging AI event-tech company suddenly doubles its customer base to more than 1,000 customers, including more than 400 Fortune 500 relationships and a business doing $1.1 million in year-to-date revenue – and folds it all into a single unified AI-powered event solutions platform?
That’s exactly what Nextech3D.ai just set in motion with its acquisition of Krafty Labs, an enterprise AI virtual and in-person event engagement platform trusted by Google, Netflix, Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, Cisco, Dropbox and hundreds more global brands.
It’s an all-cash deal that immediately expands Nextech’s scale, accelerates its push into in-person enterprise events, and strengthens its vision of becoming a true one-stop AI Event Solutions provider.
.
Together, Nextech3D.ai and Krafty Labs create a consolidated AI-powered platform designed for the rapidly modernizing $80 billion global event technology market.
In this AGORACOM interview, CEO Evan Gappelberg outlines how the acquisition unifies three platforms unified into one ai event solutions ecosystem capable of achieving “triple digit growth” in 2026 and sets $20 – 30 million as a target within 2-3 years.
WHY THIS ACQUISITION MATTERS
Nextech3D.ai is transitioning from a single-solution supplier to a comprehensive event-tech platform operator. Its combined offering now spans registration, ticketing, badging, mobile applications, 3D mapping, AI matchmaking and virtual networking – tools that enterprise customers often source from multiple vendors. Krafty Labs accelerates this shift by opening pathways into major global organizations.
At the same time, Nextech3D.ai is building a unified AI Event Operating System designed to integrate blockchain ticketing, event tokens, AR navigation and automated workflows into a single, intelligent framework to create a massive differentiator in a market rapidly moving toward automation and personalization.
$20-30 MILLION IN SAAS REVENUE WITHIN 3 YEARS?
The company’s 2026 go-to-market strategy focuses on three growth engines: cross-selling Nextech3D.ai’s broader platform into Krafty’s enterprise accounts, converting more than 100 double-qualified inbound leads each month and scaling a newly expanded sales organization. The company is targeting $20–30 million in SaaS revenue over the next three years, reflecting the strength of its product suite and the maturing enterprise pipeline.
Gappelberg summarizes the inflection point clearly:
“With 1,000 customers in our ecosystem and AI at the center of our platform, the scale of this opportunity is unlike anything we’ve had before.”
GROWING WITH EXISTING FORTUNE 500 CLIENTS
Through Krafty Labs, Nextech3D.ai inherits relationships with global brands including Google, Meta, Netflix, Oracle, Spotify and Dropbox. These are active Krafty Labs customers with established event budgets, enhancing Nextech3D.ai’s ability to introduce its full AI suite across multiple business units. Discussions underway in Dubai and the United States further broaden the company’s expansion pathway.
The acquisition also strengthens competitive positioning in a market long dominated by legacy incumbents such as Cvent. Nextech3D.ai’s customizable AI-driven solutions and full-stack approach are increasingly aligned with what enterprise buyers are seeking.
LOOKING AHEAD
The events industry is undergoing a rapid shift toward AI-driven automation and personalized attendee experiences. Nextech3D.ai now enters this transition with meaningful scale, enterprise validation and a broader technology footprint. With its expanded customer base, multi-channel revenue potential and deep AI investments, the company is positioned for significant momentum in 2026 and beyond.
For investors seeking exposure to an established and growing AI leader operating in a large, under-modernized market, Nextech3D.ai presents a compelling opportunity at a defining point in its evolution.

In the world of public markets, few events are as disruptive—or as fatal—as a cease-trade order. Most companies slow to a crawl. Many never recover.
Fobi AI, however, appears to be an exception.
During a recent in-depth interview, Fobi AI President and CEO Rob Anson, joined by Chief Technology Officer Uddeshya Agrawal, detailed how the company used its time under a trading halt not to retreat, but to rebuild—emerging with a leaner cost structure, a redefined enterprise strategy, and a proprietary artificial-intelligence platform now operating at scale.
The discussion revealed a company approaching a pivotal moment: the completion of its 2025 audit, a partial revocation order already in hand, and preparations underway for a full trading resumption early in the new year.
A Rare Feat Under a Cease-Trade Order
Fobi AI has been under a cease-trade order since November 2024. Yet, unlike most companies in similar circumstances, it continued to operate—and even expand its capabilities.
According to the interview, the company generated just under $3 million in revenue in 2024 while simultaneously restructuring its entire operation. By applying AI-driven automation internally, Fobi reduced its projected annual operating costs to approximately $1.1 million, a figure Anson described as nearly unheard of for a public company.
This financial discipline coincided with the company’s transition to what it now calls Fobi AI 3.0—a model designed to unify consulting, implementation, and proprietary technology under one platform.
From Consultant to Solution Provider
At the core of Fobi’s evolution is a strategic repositioning.
Rather than acting solely as a technology vendor or data provider, Fobi is positioning itself as a full-stack enterprise partner—one that advises on digital strategy and delivers the solution at the same time.
Anson likened the approach to global consulting firms such as Deloitte or Accenture, but with a crucial distinction: Fobi builds and deploys its own technology.
“We’re not just handing over a plan,” Anson explained. “We’re architecting it and implementing it at the same time.”
This approach has resonated with enterprise clients, particularly those frustrated by fragmented systems, lengthy integrations, and rising costs.
The Role of Proprietary AI
That strategy is powered by Fobi’s internal AI architecture, built under the leadership of CTO Uddeshya Agrawal.
Agrawal, one of India’s youngest certified cybersecurity experts and an early Web3 builder, described how Fobi diverged from much of the AI industry by developing its own focused language models rather than relying solely on third-party systems.
“Most AI companies are renting someone else’s intelligence,” Agrawal said. “We built ours.”
Rather than attempting to create a general-purpose system, Fobi trained AI models for specific enterprise functions—allowing for tighter control, improved accuracy, and greater data privacy.
This architecture forms the backbone of Fobi AI 3.0 and supports applications across identity, transactions, data intelligence, and automation.
Fixer: A First Glimpse of Autonomous Operations
The interview coincided with the launch of Fixer, Fobi’s new agentic AI customer-service and technical-support platform.
In its first disclosed deployment, Fixer processed:
Over 20,000 digital tickets
More than 200 customer inquiries
100% uptime
Zero human intervention
Reported 100% satisfaction
For the client—a large-scale event organizer—the implications were immediate. A support operation that previously required roughly 35 staff members was replaced with an autonomous system, reducing costs by an estimated 90% while improving response speed and service quality.
“Real-time service isn’t a luxury anymore,” Anson noted. “It’s the expectation.”
Why This Matters to Enterprises
The Fixer use case highlights what Fobi believes is a broader enterprise shift: automation not as a replacement for value creation, but as an enabler of it.
By removing repetitive, low-value tasks, companies can redeploy human capital toward growth initiatives rather than overhead. At the same time, Fixer provides something executives increasingly demand—clear measurement.
Fobi’s platform tracks cost savings, performance, and return on investment in real time, giving decision-makers immediate visibility into results.
Preparing for a Return to Market
From a corporate perspective, the interview also clarified Fobi’s near-term regulatory path.
Anson confirmed that:
The company is nearing completion of its 2025 audit
A partial revocation order has been secured
A non-brokered private placement is underway to meet working-capital requirements
Applications for full revocation and relisting are being prepared
If approvals proceed as expected, management anticipates a return to trading in early January.
The ability to raise capital during a trading halt, Anson suggested, reflects investor confidence in both the relevance of Fobi’s technology and the work already completed behind the scenes.
Target Markets and Growth Strategy
Fobi’s technology is designed to be horizontal, but management identified several areas of active demand:
Digital identity and credentialing
Financial services and regulatory compliance
Aviation and transportation
Sports, entertainment, and large-scale events
Healthcare and public-sector applications
Rather than scaling headcount, Fobi intends to scale through automation, licensing, and joint ventures—maintaining a small core team while expanding reach through its platform.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Both executives framed 2025 as a year of rebuilding—and 2026 as a year of visibility.
Agrawal described success as reaching a point where Fobi’s technology becomes indispensable to daily operations. Anson echoed that sentiment, pointing to growing enterprise interest in future-proofing budgets and reallocating capital from legacy systems to AI-driven infrastructure.
“Most companies don’t survive a cease-trade order,” Anson said. “We used it to build.”
A Rebuild, Not a Return
Fobi AI’s story over the past year is not one of simple recovery. It is a case study in operational discipline, strategic refocusing, and long-term execution under pressure.
As the company approaches its anticipated return to the public markets, it does so with:
A significantly lower cost base
A proprietary AI platform already operating at scale
A consulting-plus-solution model aligned with enterprise demand
Early proof points in autonomous operations
For investors and business leaders alike, Fobi’s evolution suggests that the most important work sometimes happens out of view—and that when the curtain lifts, the result may be something entirely new.

Why This Shift Makes Small-Cap RWA Tokens Even More Attractive In 2026
From AGORACOM — Your Partner in Asset Tokenization & Capital Markets Innovation
If you’re listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, you’re company’s official market data is now on over 40 blockchains around the world. How?
The TSX Venture Exchange has made official public company market data usable inside blockchain-based financial systems.
For companies beginning to explore real-world asset tokenization, or even just trying to understand where capital markets are heading, this is a meaningful event that deserves attention.
Not because it forces change today, but because it quietly reshapes what becomes possible tomorrow.
If you’ve been paying close attention to AGORACOM RWA, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to you as it once again validates where we have been leading you.
If you weren’t paying close attention, or just didn’t believe / understand that this was possible, then it’s time to start paying closer attention by:
For decades, public companies have raised capital through a familiar set of channels: equity, debt, joint ventures, royalties, and project financing. Each comes with trade-offs, and for small-cap companies, those trade-offs often include dilution, complexity, or limited access to capital altogether.
For years we were willing to accept those trade-offs, until the system turned against us by manipulating our stock prices and valuations to the point of making financing untenable.
But one thing we know about systems that have fallen out of balance is that they revert to the mean, or new systems are formed. That new system is Real World Asset Tokenization.
RWA Tokenization is a new form of capital infrastructure that has been developing in parallel to our eroding system. RWA is designed to finance assets directly, distribute investment globally and operate continuously.
Until now, tokenization largely lived outside the public markets.
By making TSX Venture company data usable inside digital capital systems, the exchange has taken a first step toward connecting regulated public companies to this emerging infrastructure. Your company does not change. Your listing does not change. But your assets become visible and referenceable in a new financial environment.
That distinction is subtle but a major step forward in AGORACOM Real World Asset Tokenization.
WHAT THIS MEANS IN THE REAL WORLD FOR SMALL CAP
For a CEO just beginning to learn about real-world asset tokenization, this development helps answer a fundamental question: How does a public company actually participate in this without disrupting everything else?
Here are a few practical examples.
A mining company with a defined but underfinanced asset can explore tokenizing a specific project to raise development capital, while leaving its public equity structure untouched.
An energy or infrastructure company can isolate a revenue-producing asset and finance it independently, creating a new capital stream without issuing shares.
A technology company with valuable intellectual property can structure asset-level financing tied to that IP, rather than forcing all value creation through the stock.
In each case, the operating company remains the owner. The public listing remains intact. The asset simply gains access to a broader, more flexible pool of capital.
The TSX Venture’s move matters because it reinforces that this model can live alongside the public markets not outside them.
WHY THIS DEVELOPMENT IS A QUIET VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN RWA TOKENIZATION
Asset tokenization only works at scale if it is anchored to real companies, real assets and real governance. That has always been the missing piece.
By enabling public-company data to function inside tokenized capital systems, the TSX Venture is effectively acknowledging what AGORACOM has been saying all along – that regulated public companies should be part of tokenization innovation by becoming the foundation of it.
This strengthens legitimacy, improves transparency, and builds confidence for investors who want exposure to tokenized assets + the safeguards of traditional markets … something we expressly stated in this video clip during our presentation:
For all of you, this signals that RWA Tokenization strategies are moving from the fringe toward the financial mainstream.
WHY AGORACOM IS ALREADY LEADING THE SHIFT TO REAL WORLD ASSET TOKENIZATION
AGORACOM did not arrive at real-world asset tokenization by chasing blockchain narratives or reacting to market hype.
We arrived here by listening to hundreds of small-cap CEOs wrestle with the same reality: great assets, constrained financing, and capital markets that too often fail to reflect long-term value.
That experience, combined with our work alongside Terry Lynch and Save Canadian Mining to expose market manipulation, led us to a clear conclusion. Fighting for fair markets is essential – but in case that wasn’t successful or moving fast enough, we needed a Plan B.
Real World Asset Tokenization became that plan.
Since February of 2023, AGORACOM has built the partnerships, compliance frameworks and operating model required to make asset tokenization viable for public companies – not crypto startups and offshore vehicles – but regulated issuers with real assets and real shareholders.
This TSX Venture development confirms that we were early and right. While others are still debating theory, the infrastructure is quietly aligning around the path AGORACOM has been pioneering.
BlackRock CEO Latest RWA Tokenization Comments Go Even Farther Than Ever Before
In previous updates we have quoted BlackRock CEO Larry Fink who is by far leading the transition towards tokenization of financial and real world assets. Here are his latest comments with supporting videos:
“Tokenization is probably the most important component in the evolution of the world’s financial plumbing.”
“We’re not spending enough time talking about how quickly we’re going to tokenize every financial asset.”
If You’ve Built Real Assets It’s Time to Capitalize on Them
The future of finance is changing very rapidly to the benefit of all of us – and AGORACOM is pioneering the path for small and mid cap companies. With the world’s leading regulators and financial titans opening the door, AGORACOM is now positioned to connect public companies to global tokenized liquidity in a smart and compliant manner.
Fortune favours the bold. Let’s go make history together.

Fobi AI CEO Rob Anson outlines how the company has progressed from internal restructuring to early commercial validation, marked by the live deployment of FIXYR, its first autonomous enterprise support platform. While operating under regulatory constraints, management continued executing on its strategy, preserving revenue, materially reducing costs through Artificial Intelligence automation, and moving from internal transformation to externally validated use cases.
The interview presents a business that differs meaningfully from the one investors last evaluated. Rather than pausing during a period of restricted trading, the focus remained on strengthening the company’s financial profile, advancing its technology stack, and building deployable Artificial Intelligence systems designed to deliver clear, measurable value for enterprise customers.
EXECUTION THROUGH CONSTRAINT, NOT PAUSE
A central theme of the discussion is how Fobi maintained momentum during a period of limited market visibility. In 2024, the company generated nearly $3 million in revenue while management reports annual operating costs were reduced to approximately $1.1 million through deeper integration of Artificial Intelligence across internal operations. This leaner cost structure materially improves operating leverage and positions the business for scalable growth as activity normalizes.
Fobi recently announced a $1.5 million non-brokered private placement to support audit completion and regulatory requirements. Management indicated that the audit process is nearing completion, positioning the company for a full revocation order, relisting, and a return to normal trading.
Fobi AI 3.0: FROM ADVISORY TO DEPLOYED SYSTEMS
The interview marks the company’s transition to what management describes as Fobi AI 3.0. Rather than operating primarily as a consultant, Fobi now delivers both the strategic architecture and the deployed Artificial Intelligence systems themselves. This integrated model is designed to reduce implementation risk, shorten deployment timelines, and lower total cost of ownership for enterprise customers.
A key differentiator highlighted is Fobi’s emphasis on building and training proprietary Artificial Intelligence models, rather than relying exclusively on third-party platforms. This focus on data control and sovereignty directly addresses a major adoption consideration for regulated, privacy-sensitive, and enterprise-scale organizations.
FIXYR: EARLY COMMERCIAL VALIDATION
At the center of the discussion is FIXYR, Fobi AI’s autonomous Artificial Intelligence customer service and technical support platform. FIXYR is designed to automate labor-intensive support workflows through real-time, self-resolving processes.
In its initial large-scale live deployment, management reported that FIXYR processed more than 20,000 digital tickets, handled over 200 customer inquiries, maintained reported 100 percent system uptime, achieved reported 100 percent customer satisfaction, and operated with no frontline human intervention.
Management noted that this deployment replaced the workload equivalent of a support operation of approximately 35 staff, translating into roughly 90 percent cost savings for the operator. For investors, FIXYR represents a meaningful step from concept to early, measurable return on investment.
BUILT FOR RELIABILITY, CONTROL, AND REPEATABILITY
Beyond FIXYR, Fobi emphasized its broader Artificial Intelligence infrastructure, designed for reliability and repeatability in enterprise environments. By training proprietary models in-house and using simulation-driven development to test outcomes prior to deployment, the company aims to reduce execution risk while improving consistency.
This approach is particularly relevant for regulated industries where data governance, auditability, and operational certainty are critical to adoption.
“We are focused on building autonomous systems that are measurable and profitable at scale. When customers can clearly see the return on investment, adoption follows.” — Rob Anson, President and CEO
POSITIONED FOR THE NEXT PHASE
Fobi AI is currently engaged across multiple verticals, including digital identity, finance and compliance, healthcare, aviation, and sports and entertainment. The platform’s modular design allows customers to deploy targeted solutions today while preserving long-term expansion optionality.
As regulatory headwinds near resolution, the interview allows investors to evaluate Fobi AI based on fundamentals rather than circumstance. With revenue in place, a disciplined cost structure, proprietary Artificial Intelligence capabilities, and FIXYR delivering early commercial validation, Fobi AI appears positioned to enter its next phase from a position of strength rather than recovery.

Kidoz Inc., a global advertising technology platform specializing in privacy-first mobile engagement, continued its momentum with another record-setting quarter. In a market shaped by heightened privacy regulation and rapid changes in digital media consumption, the company’s brand-safe, data-minimizing approach has positioned it well within the fast-growing mobile gaming advertising segment.
Over the last three years, the company has generated approximately C$57 million in revenue. With consecutive record quarters and increased demand from major brands, Kidoz is demonstrating consistent execution across its commercial and technology operations.
A Platform Aligned With a Changing Digital Environment
Kidoz operates one of the most widely deployed in-app advertising systems inside mobile gaming environments. Its proprietary technology powers tens of thousands of mobile applications and reaches substantial global audiences across entertainment, retail, and lifestyle categories.
Key elements of the platform include:
Full compliance with COPPA, GDPR-K, and global child-safety frameworks
• Approval from major mobile operating system gatekeepers
• A privacy-first architecture that avoids personal data collection
• Customizable creative formats designed for in-app environments
• End-to-end controls that support brand safety and contextual relevance
This focus on safety, compliance, and scalable delivery continues to be a differentiator as advertisers increase scrutiny around digital environments.
Record Q3 Results Reflect Broad-Based Demand
As discussed in the CEO interview, Kidoz reported approximately USD $3.66 million (about C$5.0 million) in Q3 revenue, representing 60% year-over-year growth. The company noted improvements across revenue, gross profit, and overall financial performance.
CEO Jason Williams highlighted that the momentum was diversified:
“The system was firing from multiple angles across key clients and formats. We delivered efficiency, premium targeting, and custom creative at scale, and we were prepared for what we expected to be a very strong Q4.”
The company also increased infrastructure investment during Q3 to ensure capacity for the high-demand holiday period.
Brand Safety as a Core Commercial Advantage
Digital advertisers continue to prioritize safe, verified environments—particularly when targeting younger audiences. Kidoz maintains a dual-layer safety system:
Human review of every ad environment
• AI-driven contextual intelligence to validate placement
According to Williams, the platform was designed for the most sensitive audiences, offering advertisers both environmental safety and strict data-handling controls.
Operating Through Market Uncertainty
Despite tariff discussions and broader economic caution, Kidoz reported that major category-leading brands continued to increase allocations toward mobile gaming environments. Williams noted that many large advertisers sought greater share-of-voice during periods when smaller competitors reduced spending.
Q4 Expectations and Platform Capacity
Williams confirmed that Q4 remains the company’s strongest historical quarter and that the pipeline entering the period was among the largest the company has seen. He also stated:
The system can now support throughput levels several multiples higher than the current annualized revenue run-rate
• Infrastructure upgrades strengthened stability during peak volumes
• Early Q4 indicators at the time of the interview were described as highly encouraging
Strengthening Direct Brand Relationships
A key strategic shift underway is the deepening of direct relationships with major brands and agencies. These partnerships typically produce larger campaign budgets, improved visibility into advertiser needs, and stronger long-term engagement. Williams noted that several major clients have steadily increased their annual spend and that the company expects deeper collaboration with select partners.
AI and Market Shifts: A Supportive Trend
AI technologies have impacted open-web advertising, but the in-app mobile environment—where Kidoz operates—remains insulated from scraping and external model training. Williams suggested that advertisers re-evaluating open-web performance are increasingly directing budgets toward safe, high-engagement in-app formats.
Regulatory Developments and User Behaviour
Emerging legislation in certain regions aimed at limiting social media access for younger audiences may influence shifts in user behaviour—potentially increasing time spent in mobile games and entertainment apps. These are the environments in which Kidoz operates with established compliance and brand-safety frameworks.
2026 Priorities and Industry Positioning
Williams identified several trends that could support the company heading into 2026:
Growing advertiser demand for mobile gaming environments
• Increased appetite for high-impact creative formats
• Ongoing global growth in mobile gaming engagement
Kidoz’s focus for the coming year includes deepening brand relationships, advancing creative innovation, and continuing to scale its commercial platform.
Conclusion
Kidoz Inc. is entering its busiest seasonal period and upcoming fiscal year with:
Multiple consecutive record quarters
• Market-validated privacy-first technology
• Expanding direct brand and agency relationships
• A platform engineered for significant scale
In a digital landscape shaped by privacy regulation, technological change, and shifting user behaviour, the company continues to build on a foundation aligned with long-term industry trends.

Fobi AI, a company long associated with real-time data intelligence and mobile-wallet innovation, is preparing to reintroduce itself after one of the most challenging—and productive—periods in its history. Despite operating under a cease-trade order (CTO) since November 2024, the company delivered just under $3 million in annual revenue, executed a $2.2 million divestiture of its German subsidiary, restructured its operations from top to bottom, and filed its updated financials in pursuit of a trading resumption.
In an in-depth interview, CEO Rob Anson described a year defined by operational discipline, personal resolve, and a strategic reset that positions Fobi AI for the next decade of enterprise AI and Web3 adoption. As the company prepares to relaunch, Anson’s message is clear: Fobi is no longer simply a data-intelligence or wallet-tech provider. It is building the infrastructure and advisory muscle that organizations will require as digital identity, automation, and real-time systems become foundational.
A Reset Fueled by Determination—and Data-Driven Strategy
Though many expected Fobi to struggle under a CTO, the company instead embarked on what Anson calls “a wholesale change”—one that demanded difficult decisions, aggressive restructuring, and a reliance on AI automation to streamline operating costs to roughly $1.2 million.
A significant catalyst came through Fobi’s participation in Comcast SportsTech, where enterprise clients consistently asked the same question: How do we integrate our disconnected digital systems into something unified and actionable?
Systems were fragmented across dozens of applications.
Organizations needed partners who could advise strategically and implement solutions end-to-end.
This realization led to the foundation of Fobi 3.0—a model designed to blend advisory services, a sandbox testing environment, measurable ROI, and deployment operations under one structure. As one audit firm told Anson during Fobi’s 2024 filings, the business would be “much tidier” if its diverse activities were recognized as what they had become: professional services built atop proprietary technology.
Strategic Shifts, Auditor Transition, and a Return to Compliance
One headline development was Fobi’s decision to transition its auditor from MNP LLP to Can Partners LLP, effective November 17, 2025. Anson was emphatic that the change reflected systemic issues in the audit ecosystem—not deficiencies in MNP’s work.
The numbers underpinning this decision were striking: Fobi spent $1.12 million in audit fees over two years, a figure Anson called “egregious” and incompatible with long-term sustainability.
The shift is part of a broader effort to streamline governance, reduce financial burden, and accelerate the regulatory path toward lifting the CTO. Updated financials have been filed, with additional submissions underway—steps required for the anticipated revocation order and the company’s return to trading.
A Year of Operational Reinvention: “One Hour at a Time”
Anson describes 2025 as a year of “courageous change,” marked by layoffs, leadership transitions, and a relentless push to stabilize operations. At several points, he admits, the challenges felt “insurmountable.”
Yet the leadership team adopted a simple philosophy:
“One hour at a time.”
That discipline allowed Fobi to:
Reduce burn by 82%.
Transition to a new corporate structure focused on AI-enabled delivery.
Deploy its internal LLM system, Udasha, to support client engagements.
Attract joint-venture opportunities tied to enterprise problem-solving.
Retain and strengthen a core team capable of delivering under pressure.
The cumulative effect, Anson says, is an “unrecognizable” company—leaner, more focused, and built for scale.
Preparing for 2026: A Reintroduction, Not a Return
Several themes emerged as Anson discussed 2026:
1. A New Identity
Fobi AI is repositioning itself not as a niche tool provider but as a full-stack transformation partner—“the Deloitte or Accenture of the AI/Web3 era” according to CEO Rob Anson.
This means delivering:
High-level AI and data advisory
System architecture and integration
Wallet-based digital identity solutions
Real-time data platforms
End-to-end execution and managed services
2. A Scalable Operating Backbone
The company’s lean structure—including significant automation—enables sustainable execution without the overhead of legacy consultancies.
3. A Renewed Commitment to Transparency
With trading resumption efforts advancing, Anson pledged more structured engagement through centralized channels, including AGORACOM, to ensure consistent public communication.
4. A Team and CEO Who Refused to Quit
A recurring theme in the interview was resilience.
While some CEOs in similar situations might choose bankruptcy, privatization, or a complete reset under a new entity, Anson emphasized that he stayed for one reason:
“I’m here for the people who reached out over the years. That’s why I stayed in the game.”
Conclusion: A Company Poised for Reinvention
The Fobi AI that returns to the market—pending regulatory approval—is not the same company that entered a CTO in 2024. It is leaner, clearer in purpose, and architected for a digital economy that demands convergence between strategy, architecture, and execution.
Anson’s candid, emotionally charged interview reveals a leadership team that not only endured a high-pressure reset but converted it into a strategic turning point. As he put it, Fobi now stands “back in the game and running the bases”—with 2026 positioned as a defining year.
The company’s evolution toward an AI-native professional-services and deployment model signals its ambition to play a meaningful role in the next decade of enterprise transformation. And if its trajectory through adversity is any indication, its next chapter may be its most compelling yet.

Key performance drivers discussed:
Total revenue: CAD $5.13M, up 60% vs. Q3 2024
Gross profit: CAD $2.6M, up 48% vs. Q3 2024
Deeper direct relationships with global brands and agencies
Growing demand for custom creative advertising inside mobile games
Kidoz has emerged as a standout performer in the small cap adtech landscape. The company operates a global in-app advertising network that reaches hundreds of millions of users each month across mobile games, a channel increasingly favored by many of the world’s best-known brands seeking privacy-safe, high-engagement environments. Revenue has expanded steadily over the past several years, rising from $1.9 million in 2017 to $19.2 million in 2024. Its latest quarter reinforces that momentum, with Q3 revenue up 60 percent year over year to a record CAD $5.13 million, supported by meaningful improvements in gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA.
The discussion highlights a company not only growing, but doing so with operational discipline. CEO Jason Williams explains how multiple client verticals — from toys and entertainment to fast-food and broader consumer brands — drove performance as advertisers expanded budgets and sought more creative, measurable placements inside games.
HOW KIDOZ CAPTURED ITS STRONGEST Q3 YET
Kidoz’s ad-delivery system now powers tens of thousands of mobile apps and is certified by Apple and Google, giving it an advantage as global privacy standards tighten. The platform continues to attract larger, more frequent campaigns from major brands that require certainty around placement quality and performance.
A major contributor this quarter was the company’s shift toward more direct relationships with agencies and major advertisers. These partnerships are enabling Kidoz to secure bigger spend commitments and deliver custom creative units that command premium value.
“The system today can handle multiples of our annual revenue — now the focus is bringing in the clients to match that capacity,” CEO Jason Williams notes, underscoring the company’s readiness for commercial scale.
TAILWINDS TRANSFORMING THE MARKET
Several structural trends are reshaping digital advertising in Kidoz’s favor. AI is disrupting the open web, pushing advertisers to reallocate budgets into in-app environments where content is protected, attention is active, and performance is more predictable. At the same time, new regulatory proposals restricting social-media use for teens could shift even more screen time toward mobile gaming — a segment where Kidoz already holds deep penetration.
POSITIONED FOR A STRONG FINISH AND A STRONGER 2026
Kidoz invested ahead of Q4 to ensure system capacity for the industry’s busiest advertising season. With infrastructure now in place, the company is focused on scaling its client base across additional verticals and capturing recurring brand budgets throughout the year, not just during peak cycles.
As advertisers seek brand-safe environments with measurable engagement, Kidoz is becoming increasingly relevant. Its technology, relationships, and market tailwinds align at a moment when global advertisers are actively searching for new high-performance channels.
With record results, expanding partnerships, and a market shifting toward its core strengths, Kidoz enters the next phase of its growth story with momentum and clear visibility into long-term opportunity.

CTV’s flagship investigative program airs multi-part series examining “stock spoofing” and Quantum’s USD $700M lawsuit against major Canadian banks
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ/CSE: QNTM), a biopharmaceutical company advancing therapeutic and consumer-health innovations, has become the focus of a high-profile investigation by CTV News’ award-winning program W5. The nationally broadcast series examines the company’s allegations of widespread stock market manipulation—specifically, an illegal tactic known as “stock spoofing”—which forms the basis of Quantum Biopharma’s USD $700 million lawsuit against two of Canada’s largest financial institutions, CIBC and RBC.
The W5 series marks one of the most prominent national examinations to date of alleged spoofing activity involving a publicly traded Canadian biotech company. Parts One, Two and Three have already aired, drawing heightened public attention to the rarely discussed mechanics of market manipulation and its potential consequences for companies and retail investors.
Background: A Biotech Firm Fighting on Two Fronts
Quantum BioPharma develops innovative drug candidates and consumer wellness technologies, most notably Lucid-MS—its patented new chemical entity focused on addressing the underlying biology of demyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS). In parallel with its clinical progress, the company has alleged that illegal market activity significantly impacted its share price, visibility, and access to capital.
These concerns ultimately led Quantum Biopharma to file a lawsuit in the United States seeking USD $700 million in damages. The claim centers on alleged stock spoofing, a prohibited practice in which a trader places large orders they never intend to execute to distort supply and demand.
According to Quantum Biopharma, millions of fictitious orders flowed through Canadian bank trading platforms, contributing to what the company describes as artificial downward pressure on its stock. W5’s multi-episode investigation aims to unpack both the allegations and the industry-wide implications.
Inside W5’s Three-Part National Investigation
The first episode asks a striking question: “Was a Canadian company’s multiple sclerosis research nearly derailed by market manipulation?”
The episode highlights Quantum Biopharma’s view that spoofing not only distorts trading activity but can disrupt a company’s ability to advance mission-critical programs—such as Lucid-MS, which in preclinical models has shown activity related to preventing and reversing myelin degradation, the biological hallmark of MS.
Part Two goes deeper inside the company’s experience. Journalist Jon Woodward, reporting for W5, outlines how Quantum Biopharma’s executives noticed irregular trading patterns they believed could not be explained by normal market behavior. The episode’s accompanying article, “‘Something was wrong’: Inside a Canadian biotech firm’s fight to prove ‘stock spoofing,’” chronicles Quantum Biopharma’s attempts to gather and present data indicating that allegedly fictitious orders were placed at a scale large enough to influence market perception.
Quantum Biopharma’s Co-Executive Chair, Anthony Durkacz, stated in the release that their position is based on Canadian exchange trading data that the company alleges shows stock spoofing “on a massive scale,” involving at least 16 million orders they argue were illegal or fictitious. The lawsuit claims the banks had responsibilities as gatekeepers to prevent such activity.
Leadership Response: Shedding Light on a Hidden Market Practice
Quantum Biopharma’s CEO, Zeeshan Saeed, expressed gratitude toward W5 for bringing national attention to spoofing, an activity he described as illegal yet widely misunderstood. Saeed stated that raising awareness is important not only for Quantum Biopharma but for retail investors and other companies who may be affected by similar practices.
He emphasized that despite the challenges, Quantum Biopharma continues to move forward with its scientific milestones, including advancing Lucid-MS, pursuing regulatory pathways, and expanding consumer-health assets through partners such as Unbuzzd Wellness.
Looking Ahead: A Pivotal Moment for Regulation and Transparency
The third installment of the W5 series is expected to continue exploring market manipulation, regulatory gaps, and the broader impact on Canadian companies operating across global exchanges.
For Quantum BioPharma, the national spotlight comes at a defining point in its trajectory—balancing clinical progress with a high-stakes legal battle that raises questions about market integrity, investor protection, and systemic oversight.
As the W5 investigation unfolds, the series positions Quantum Biopharma’s case as a catalyst for discussion on how modern capital markets function—and how vulnerable companies may be to misconduct hidden behind complex trading systems.

Fobi AI CEO Rob Anson outlines how the company maintained operational progress during the past year, streamlining its structure, modernizing internal systems with AI, reducing costs, and preparing for a more commercially focused relaunch. Instead of losing momentum, the company concentrated on building a stronger, more scalable foundation for its next phase of growth.
Fobi has transitioned from a collection of standalone technologies into a professional-services-driven platform built around AI-powered reporting, mobile wallet strategy, and Web3-ready applications.
REINVENTION THROUGH COST DISCIPLINE AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
A major theme is how Fobi used this period to reset its cost base and refine its revenue model. The company narrowed its operational footprint, strengthened its data-reporting capabilities, and moved toward higher-margin service engagements supported by a proprietary LLM environment that accelerates internal analyses and client delivery.
A significant step involved optimizing the audit process to improve efficiency and predictability. Audit expenses had previously exceeded $1 million over two years, and the transition to a new auditor is expected to create a more streamlined path forward.
“We’ve put ourselves in a far more efficient position than we’ve ever been in — and at a fraction of the cost.” — Rob Anson, CEO
EARLY SIGNS OF COMMERCIAL MOMENTUM
While limited in what it can disclose, Anson indicates that the business continued progressing throughout 2025. Several dynamics appear to be strengthening Fobi’s market position:
Growing demand from enterprises seeking mobile wallet integration and data modernization
• Increased use of Fobi’s AI-driven reporting automation
• Rising joint-venture discussions combining licensing, IP, and professional services
• A more scalable cost structure supported by a leaner operating model
PREPARING FOR A STRATEGIC MARKET RE-ENTRY
With major internal milestones nearing completion, Fobi has a full brand refresh ready — including updated products, corporate materials, and new client use cases — to deploy once the company is able to communicate more broadly. Many shareholders have not yet seen how extensively the business has transformed.
OUTLOOK: A LEANER, MORE FOCUSED ENTERPRISE SOLUTION PROVIDER
For investors evaluating turnaround narratives, the interview highlights decisive cost management, proprietary AI infrastructure, a pivot toward professional services, and continued commercial activity. As the company completes its remaining steps and begins its next phase, Fobi is positioning itself with a stronger foundation for long-term enterprise growth.
