AGORACOM RWA DBX and tZERO Partner To Tokenize Real-World Assets Of Small and Mid-Cap Public Companies

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:39 PM on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026

tZERO – AGORACOM Partnership Establishes The First Institutional-Grade Framework Specifically Designed For Tokenizing Small- and Mid-Cap Public Company Assets

NEW YORK, NY – January 22, 2026 AGORACOM RWA DBX, the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiative of AGORACOM, and tZERO Group Inc, a leading innovator in blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to support the compliant tokenization of RWAs held by small- and mid-cap public companies.

The partnership formally aligns AGORACOM’s issuer origination, asset curation, and investor engagement platform with tZERO’s institutional-grade capital markets infrastructure, creating a structured pathway for small-cap public companies to tokenize real-world assets that reach global investors within established regulatory frameworks.

tZERO: Regulated Capital Markets Infrastructure for the Tokenized Economy

tZERO operates one of the most comprehensive regulated digital securities infrastructures in the market today, providing end-to-end capabilities across issuance, secondary trading, settlement, and on-chain custody of tokenized securities. Built to integrate with traditional capital markets, tZERO’s platform is designed to support compliant digital representations of securities and asset-backed instruments across multiple asset classes and jurisdictions.

Through this partnership, tZERO will serve as the regulated infrastructure backbonewithin the AGORACOM RWA DBX ecosystem, supporting qualifying offerings with capital markets rigor, operational discipline, and regulatory oversight consistent with institutional standards.

“One of the challenges the tokenization space has been dealing with is attacking the historically illiquid, niche and opaque asset classes first. Public companies and their real-world asset bases – supported by existing disclosure market analysis and investor understanding – solve that issue.  And public companies need tokenization models that align with existing disclosure, governance, and regulatory requirements,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer at tZERO. “This partnership is designed to extend familiar capital markets principles into tokenization form, allowing issuers to evaluate tokenization of assets, intellectual property and revenue streams as a structured, compliant financing tool to unlock liquidity and raise non-dilutive capital.”

tZERO is one of only two firms in the United States approved as a Special Purpose Broker-Dealer, allowing it to custody digital securities within a regulated broker-dealer framework, with their infrastructure already being utilized across a growing set of regulated digital securities use cases, including:

  • Multiple live and completed regulated digital securities offerings, spanning private and public company issuers
  • Tens of millions of digital securities traded through regulated secondary market infrastructure
  • Operational issuance, trading, settlement, and custody under a U.S. broker-dealer framework
  • Active engagement with institutional issuers, investors, and market participants seeking compliant tokenization pathways
  • Years of direct regulatory engagement and approvals, reflecting sustained investment in compliance-first market infrastructure

These real-world deployments underscore tZERO’s role as a production-grade capital markets platform and provide the foundation required to support asset tokenization initiatives at institutional standards.

AGORACOM RWA DBX: A New Category Of Real-World Assets From Companies That Are Regulated

AGORACOM RWA DBX is pioneering a new RWA category by tokenizing the assets of small- and mid-cap public companies that are:

  • Real Growth Assets
  • Verified By Securities Filings
  • Supported By Audited Financials
  • Subject To Regulatory Oversight & Continuous Disclosure

Those assets, which have have historically lacked modern, institutional-grade pathways to capital formation and global investor visibility, include but are not limited to: 

  • Mineral and Resource Projects (Gold, Silver, Critical Minerals)
  • Specialty Materials
  • Energy Technologies
  • Intellectual Property
  • Fintech Platforms

AGORACOM and tZERO are addressing that gap by providing issuers with an effective, credible and institutional approach to tokenization, designed to expand financing and investor access options at scale while maintaining the regulatory rigor required by sophisticated market participants.

The partnership with tZERO provides the regulatory and operational foundation required to develop this category responsibly and at scale.

“This partnership is about giving small and mid-cap public companies better options,” said George Tsiolis, Founder of AGORACOM. “By combining AGORACOM RWA DBX’s issuer expertise and engagement capabilities with tZERO’s institutional-grade, regulated infrastructure, we are creating a serious, execution-ready framework for asset tokenization that sophisticated investors, funds and family offices around the world can trust.”

 What This Partnership Enables for Small and Mid-Cap Issuers

This partnership establishes a clear, institutional-grade pathway for small and mid-cap public companies to evaluate and implement asset-level tokenization as a legitimate capital markets strategy.

Through AGORACOM RWA DBX, supported by tZERO’s regulated infrastructure, issuers can now approach tokenization with the same level of rigor, compliance and credibility expected in traditional capital markets. This includes a disciplined process for identifying suitable operating assets, structuring compliant digital securities and introducing those instruments to global investor markets through regulated channels.

For management teams, this means tokenization is no longer theoretical or experimental. It becomes a practical, execution-ready option – designed to complement existing public listings by adding a regulated, asset-backed financing lane that preserves disclosure standards, governance, and institutional trust.

The objective is not to replace public markets, but to expand the toolkit available to serious public companies seeking modern, non-dilutive ways to unlock asset value and broaden investor access.

What This Means for Small and Mid-Cap Issuers

    • Expand global investor reach by introducing asset-backed digital securities through regulated infrastructure accessible to institutional, family office, and sophisticated investors across multiple jurisdictions
    • Unlock value from existing operating assets without relying exclusively on common share dilution, enabling capital formation strategies that are better aligned with long-term asset development
    • Strengthen balance-sheet and financing optionality by creating new, compliant funding lanes that can sit alongside traditional equity and debt markets
    • Increase investor understanding and confidence through transparent, asset-level structures supported by audited financials, public disclosure, and regulated custody and trading
    • Build a more resilient shareholder base by engaging investors who are aligned with asset performance and long-term company fundamentals, rather than short-term trading dynamics
    • Position the company as forward-looking and institution-ready, demonstrating governance discipline and strategic sophistication to boards, regulators, and capital providers

AGORACOM’s Role: Origination, Curation, and Engagement

AGORACOM RWA DBX sits at the center of the ecosystem as the category builder and origination platform, leveraging AGORACOM’s more than 25-year history working with small-cap public companies and investors.

AGORACOM RWA DBX is responsible for identifying and curating suitable issuers, supporting asset-level analysis, and delivering the education, communication, and investor-engagement infrastructure required for sustainable adoption. This includes moderated investor forums, digital content, and issuer-focused education designed to align market understanding with institutional expectations.

The initiative is already gaining momentum. AGORACOM has signed its first RWA letter of intent with a public company, hosted its inaugural RWA webcast with more than 200 small-cap CEOs and stakeholders, and announced ecosystem partnerships with Dubai Blockchain Center, BlockRidge, and Pegasus Fintech as it prepares for meaningful deal flow beginning in 2026 and accelerating through 2030.

Next Steps for Public Companies

AGORACOM RWA DBX is already working with a limited number of small and mid-cap public companies to evaluate asset-level tokenization opportunities within this newly established framework.

Management teams and boards interested in understanding whether their operating assets may be suitable for this approach are encouraged to engage in early exploratory discussions. These initial conversations are intended to assess asset characteristics, governance considerations, and strategic fit well before any formal structuring or execution decisions are made.  Please visit our website https://agoracomrwa.com/

Kidoz Posts Over C$5 Million in Record Q3 Revenue as Demand for Safe, Scalable Mobile Advertising Rises

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:47 PM on Monday, December 8th, 2025

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 Positions Itself for a 2026 Relaunch After a Year of Deep Transformation

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 2:44 PM on Monday, December 8th, 2025

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?

Fobi discovered a widespread gap:

  • Enterprises lacked coherent mobile-wallet strategies.

  • 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.

Kidoz Delivers Record Q3 Revenue of CAD $5.13M, Up 60% Year Over Year

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 9:57 PM on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025

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.

VIDEO – Fobi AI Unveils a Fully Reset Model Built for the AI-Driven, Web3 Era

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:52 PM on Monday, December 1st, 2025

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:

Fobi AI Unveils “Fobi AI 3.0” — A Unified Artificial Intelligence Platform Built for Real-World Enterprise Deployment

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:17 PM on Thursday, November 13th, 2025

Fobi AI Inc. (TSXV: FOBI | OTCQB: FOBIF), a data and artificial-intelligence technology company specializing in real-time customer engagement and mobile-wallet solutions, has announced the formal rollout of Fobi AI 3.0, a comprehensive strategic and operational framework designed to unify the company’s consulting, licensing, and subscription businesses under a single, AI-native model. The initiative marks a significant milestone in Fobi’s transformation into a full-service platform that integrates advisory expertise with the deployment of its proprietary AI and data-intelligence technologies.

From Real-Time Data to AI-Native Solutions

Founded in 2017, Fobi built its early reputation on providing real-time analytics and mobile-wallet activation tools that allow enterprises to create and manage digital passes, offers, and loyalty programs while capturing first-party customer data. Over time, these capabilities expanded to include broader data-intelligence and Web3-ready features, enabling the company to bridge traditional marketing systems with next-generation digital identity and automation frameworks.

The launch of Fobi AI 3.0 formalizes that progression. The company’s new structure aligns strategic advisory, technical architecture, and hands-on execution into one commercial framework—reflecting a broader industry trend where enterprises are seeking fewer handoffs between strategy consultants, system integrators, and software vendors. The approach is intended to help organizations shorten the distance between planning and measurable results.

Operational Discipline and Financial Progress

Recent filings highlight the company’s operational reset and financial resilience. For the fiscal year ended 2024, Fobi AI reported approximately $2.92 million in revenue, representing an increase of about 40% year-over-year. Alongside this growth, the company has introduced AI-enabled efficiency measures that reduced its operating burn rate by roughly 82%, setting a projected annualized run rate of approximately $1.3 million by 2026.

These actions underscore Fobi’s shift toward scalability and cost discipline, achieved while maintaining focus on client delivery and innovation. Chief Executive Officer Rob Anson stated that the company’s goal remains to “align our strategic advisory, technology, and execution capabilities under a single commercial framework” and to pursue cash-flow-positive operations by 2026.

The company has also completed the filing of its 2024 annual and 2025 interim financial statements, clearing a key regulatory hurdle and paving the way for the lifting of a previous cease-trade order. This reinstatement process restores full transparency to the market and reinforces Fobi’s commitment to regulatory compliance and corporate governance.

Fobi AI 3.0: Strategy, Architecture, and Execution

Under its new framework, Fobi AI is structured around three core pillars:

  • Strategy: Advisory services for executives focused on AI, data intelligence, mobile-wallet engagement, and Web3 readiness.

  • Technical Architecture: Design and implementation of secure, scalable systems that connect enterprise data, supply chains, and customer-intelligence tools.

  • Execution: Full deployment and optimization of programs across sectors such as retail, sports, healthcare, and events.

This model enables clients to bridge planning and deployment seamlessly—turning strategy into measurable business outcomes. The company continues to monetize through professional services, software licensing, and recurring subscriptions, supported by millions of digital-wallet interactions across its global customer base.

Positioning Within a Shifting Industry

As artificial intelligence and automation reshape enterprise operations, the consulting sector itself is evolving. Global firms are retooling to integrate AI into their offerings, yet many clients now demand partners who can not only advise but also implement. Fobi’s combination of advisory insight, proprietary AI technology, and deployment expertise positions it squarely within this emerging “execution-first” model of digital transformation.

The company’s participation in programs such as Comcast SportsTech 2024 and its active role in event, transportation, and digital-identity projects across North America illustrate how its technology stack is being applied to real-world, data-driven use cases.

Looking Ahead

Fobi AI’s evolution reflects a deliberate shift toward long-term sustainability and practical execution. With financial discipline, a streamlined cost base, and a renewed emphasis on outcome-driven AI deployment, the company is positioned to strengthen its foothold across multiple industries.

As enterprises accelerate their transition to intelligent, data-connected systems, Fobi AI 3.0 represents the company’s answer to the market’s most pressing demand—delivering not just roadmaps, but measurable results powered by real-time AI intelligence.

The Critical Role of the Myelin Sheath – And How Quantum BioPharma Is Advancing the Next Frontier in MS Neuroprotection

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 3:39 PM on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025

Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ/CSE: QNTM) is advancing a novel therapeutic approach to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — one centered not on suppressing the immune system, but on targeting the underlying biology of demyelination, the core driver of neurodegeneration in MS. To understand why this approach matters, it’s critical to understand the role of the myelin sheath.

What Is the Myelin Sheath and Why Does It Matter?

The myelin sheath is a fatty, insulating layer that wraps around nerve cell axons — acting like the high-speed wiring system of the nervous system. It is produced by specialized glial cells: oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.

Myelin’s value comes from four critical functions:

  • Insulation: Prevents electrical “leaks” in signal transmission
  • Speed: Enables saltatory conduction — signals “jump” node to node (up to 100× faster)
  • Efficiency: Reduces the energy neurons need to fire signals
  • System control: Supports cognition, movement, perception, and coordination

Without myelin, the electrical messages between brain and body slow, weaken, or misfire — leading to the symptoms widely associated with neurological disorders like MS.

What Happens in Multiple Sclerosis

In MS, the myelin sheath is progressively damaged — historically thought to be caused only by immune system attack. However, leading researchers now point to a second process at play: a degenerative component that occurs independently of immune activity.

Both pathways lead to demyelination — the loss or disruption of the myelin sheath — resulting in impaired communication between neurons.

This degradation is what produces the hallmark symptoms of MS:

  • Loss of motor coordination
  • Impaired sensory perception
  • Declining cognitive function
  • Fatigue and loss of balance

Quantum BioPharma’s Approach: Precision Neuroprotection

Unlike conventional immunosuppressive MS treatments, Lucid-MS – Quantum’s patented lead drug candidate — is not immunomodulatory.

Instead, it is designed to address demyelination at the biological level, advancing a neuroprotective strategy that could complement, rather than compete with, existing immune-focused treatments.

Lucid-MS has completed successful Phase 1 human safety trials, with no serious adverse events reported. Multiple animal studies have demonstrated significant activity relevant to demyelination biology, providing additional confidence as Quantum advances toward a Phase 2 clinical trial in people with MS.

A Thoughtful, Science-Driven Evolution in MS Treatment Strategy

The global MS treatment market is heavily concentrated on slowing immune system attack. Quantum BioPharma is moving deeper — focusing on the root mechanisms of nerve damage itself.

Its approach signals an evolution in neuroscience:

  • From suppression → to protection 
  • From reaction → to resilience 
  • From slowing disease → to targeting its biological engine 

Looking Ahead

Quantum BioPharma is positioning Lucid-MS within the growing global focus on regenerative and neuroprotective medicine. As regulatory preparation accelerates, the company continues to emphasize precision science, data integrity, and clinical depth — not speculation.

Kidoz Redefines Privacy-First AdTech as Global Industry Forecast to Approach $2.5 Trillion

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:27 PM on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025

In a digital economy where the global AdTech market is projected to surpass USD 2.5 trillion by 2032, one company is quietly redefining what it means to advertise safely and effectively—Kidoz Inc. (TSXV: KDOZ | OTCQB: KDOZF).

A Scalable AdTech Platform for the Modern Era

Kidoz operates a global, privacy-first advertising network built for the new digital reality: one where regulations, compliance, and user protection are non-negotiable. Its proprietary Kidoz Safe Ad Network and Prado SDK enable contextual, data-free campaigns that reach audiences worldwide—spanning children, teens, and families—without sacrificing performance or compliance.

The company’s technology powers high-engagement mobile campaigns across more than 60 countries, supporting a billion-plus active gamers and app users. This scale has translated into measurable results, with Kidoz reporting record first-half 2025 revenue of USD $5.17 million, a 21% year-over-year increase, and over CAD $57 million in cumulative revenue over the past three years.

Riding the AdTech Expansion Wave

Global AdTech is growing fast—driven by AI, programmatic automation, and the surge in mobile engagement. As advertisers seek ways to comply with GDPR, COPPA, and new privacy acts worldwide, Kidoz stands out as one of the few networks fully aligned with these requirements from inception.

With AI-driven contextual targeting and a real-time campaign engine, Kidoz offers a blueprint for how digital marketing can evolve without intrusive data collection. Its model fits perfectly within an industry that’s moving toward transparency, accountability, and measurable ROI.

Innovation and Strategic Growth

Behind Kidoz’s success is a commitment to constant reinvestment. In 2025, R&D spending rose 48% year-over-year, while marketing surged 95% as the company expanded global awareness. Its platform enhancements—including the proprietary Kite IQ AI engine—enable smarter ad matching, delivering relevant experiences to users while maintaining full compliance.

These strategic investments ensure Kidoz remains competitive against giants in the USD 81 billion mobile gaming ad sector, where immersive formats and interactivity are defining the next frontier of engagement.

The Power of Privacy-First Design

Regulatory pressure has become one of the strongest tailwinds in digital advertising. Global frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA demand that companies handle user data responsibly—or face steep penalties. Kidoz’s advantage lies in the fact that its systems were purpose-built for compliance.

Its infrastructure is Google-certified, Apple-approved, and among the first to align with the EU AI Act. This foundation not only minimizes risk for advertisers but also offers a scalable path to growth in sectors where user trust is paramount.

Positioning for the Next Chapter

After years of disciplined execution, Kidoz is evolving from category pioneer to category leader. It now serves as a full-stack AdTech company, offering supply-side, demand-side, and ad-exchange solutions through a unified platform.

As global ad spend continues to shift toward mobile and contextual formats, Kidoz’s privacy-first ecosystem positions it squarely within the fastest-growing segments of the AdTech market.

Bottom line:
 Kidoz Inc. represents the next generation of advertising technology—one built not on user tracking, but on intelligence, integrity, and innovation. In a USD 2.5 trillion industry racing toward automation and accountability, Kidoz stands out as a company built for the future of digital engagement.

BEYOND THE MIC: PyroGenesis CEO Commits Up To $4 Million in Fresh Financing – Here’s Why That Matters

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 5:31 PM on Tuesday, October 21st, 2025

PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR; OTCQX: PYRGF; FRA: 8PY1) isn’t your typical micro-cap industrial. The Montreal-based company has spent three decades building a portfolio of all-electric plasma technologies used in heavy industry and defense—ranging from plasma torches and waste destruction systems to titanium powders for additive manufacturing. 

In a new interview, President & CEO P. Peter Pascali detailed a financing move that normally wouldn’t warrant headlines: a non-brokered private placement. What elevates this one is simple—he plans to personally invest roughly up to $4 million. The conversation offers investors a clear window into the “why,” the mechanics of the raise, and how management is positioning PyroGenesis against choppy macro currents.

The Raise, Explained: Two Unit Structures, One Message

The placement is split into two unit groups—a structure driven by TSX rules that limit insider participation over a six-month window:

  • Unit Group A (CEO tranche):
     ~6.67 million units at $0.63 each; each unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.28 for 48 months.
     Intent: Mr. Pascali expects to subscribe for most or all of this group.
  • Unit Group B (general tranche):
     4 million units at $0.20 each; each unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.40 for 24 months.

Both groups may close in up to three tranches and carry the standard four-months-and-a-day hold.

Investor takeaway: the CEO is committing significant personal capital on terms that require future execution to pay off.

Why Now? A Candid View From the Corner Office

Pascali’s rationale blends conviction with pragmatism:

  • Alignment by design. He is already the largest shareholder, and has invested more than $13 million in recent years (and has provided short-term loans when needed
  • Execution. Management points to a previously disclosed ~$50–51 million backlog and named collaborations in Europe (Constellium, Norsk Hydro, GE). European customers reassessed broader plans as their economies experienced volatility at different times, but PyroGenesis continued to innovate, sign new contracts, and prepare for the eventual start of the projects associated to these major collaborations.
  • Geographic momentum. The **Middle East—particularly Saudi Arabia—**is emerging as a growth lane, with leadership pushing industrial modernization, localization, and advanced manufacturing (including 3D printing). PyroGenesis already manufactures key systems in the U.S. when needed, which can blunt tariff effects and streamline deliveries.

Strategy in Plain English: What PyroGenesis Actually Does

PyroGenesis develops and commercializes ultra-high-temperature, all-electric plasma technologies that help heavy industry:

  • Replace fossil-fuel burners with plasma torches in high-temp industrial processes.
  • Convert problematic waste into usable by-products or safely destroy it.
  • Produce advanced materials, including critical minerals such as titanium powders for 3D printing.

These are factory-floor solutions, not lab concepts. The company’s systems have been adopted by conservative, blue-chip operators precisely because they target efficiency, cost, reliability, emissions, and throughput—the metrics that matter to plant managers and CFOs alike.

What’s Different About This Moment

Capital discipline and access. In a market where many micro-caps face higher rates, sticky inflation, and slower funding, PyroGenesis can partially self-fund growth through insider participation while it executes on signed work.

Operational resilience. The company builds in both Canada and the U.S. to satisfy customer or policy requirements and actively monitors supplier health to reduce tariff and supply-chain risk.

Selective innovation. The team prioritizes projects with repeat-order potential and credible paths to scale—“no Hail Marys,” as Pascali puts it. That philosophy underpins a strategy designed for recurring orders rather than one-off wins.

Risks, Put Straight

No leader sugarcoated the macro picture. The CEO flagged:

  • Market volatility that seemingly changes weekly.
  • Tariffs that impact customers’ bottom lines, even when PyroGenesis itself can manufacture locally and in the U.S. to stay relatively free of tariff impact.
  • Working-capital timing, especially where large industrial clients phase payments.

The counterweight: a 34 year history of navigating shocks, a diversified customer base (mostly in Europe and the Middle East), strong backlog, and the CEO’s capital at work.

Why Investors Are Paying Attention

For current and prospective shareholders, several points stand out:

  • Skin in the game: An up to ~$4 million personal commitment from the CEO—on tougher terms
  • Industrial credibility: Deployed systems in demanding environments (on land and at sea), across 22 countries, and long-term relationships with leading metals manufacturers.
  • Path to scale: A backlog that underwrites near-term activity, plus growth vectors in Europe, North America, and the Gulf.
  • Constant Innovation: as an example, the company has increased the power of its plasma torches 20X in 5 years, from 900kW to 20MW, while improving efficiency – widening the addressable market at both the higher power (top) and lower cost (bottom) ends.

The Bottom Line

PyroGenesis is not a concept story; it’s a commercialization story. The private placement—especially the CEO’s tranche—won’t solve every macro headwind, but it does two important things: it fortifies working capital without bank leverage, and it tightens alignment between leadership and shareholders at a pivotal stage.

As Pascali put it, the decision is ultimately judged by execution. With a $50M+ backlog, marquee industrial customers, and growing demand for electrified, cleaner high-heat processes across many different heavy industries, the company has tangible levers to pull. In a market that rewards focus and resilience, PyroGenesis is making a case that it has both.
