Beyond Meat has become an $11 BILLION company by creating products designed to emulate beef.
Non-Alcoholic beer is now an $18 BILLION market by creating products designed to emulate alcoholic beverages.
The basis of success for each has come from delivering the experience meat eaters and beer drinkers have come to love, without any of the negative health effects.
TAAT™ Beyond Tobacco™ mimics the experiences of cigarettes without nicotine or tobacco. It is engineered to closely emulate the sensory components of smoking a tobacco cigarette, including tasting and smelling just like tobacco.
E-cigarettes and vaping have failed despite existing for 15 years, driving most smokers back to cigarettes because they only perpetuate the problem of nicotine addiction while delivering a completely different user experience to smokers.
Under the leadership of experienced veterans from the tobacco industry, including and especially Philip Morris International, TAAT™ launched in the United States just 9 weeks ago and has already received repeat orders from more than 60% of convenience and gas station customers.
How good was this launch?
“Out of all of the tobacco category products I have worked with, TAAT™ is an outlier in terms of the level of demand it has had in its early stages. I have launched dozens of new tobacco brands across Canada as well as in the Caribbean, and while many of the new products were reordered by retailers in their first several weeks on the market, none of them were reordered by anywhere near 60% of stores that initially carried them. …. I have confidence that we could replicate these outcomes both in Ohio and in other markets where we may introduce TAAT™ in the future.” – TAAT Chief Revenue Officer Tim Corkum (former commercialization executive for Philip Morris International)
How big is the market TAAT is going after? Tobacco is used by:
34M adults in America, equating to 215 BILLION cigarettes sold in 2018
1.3 billion people worldwide
… and almost all of them aspire to leave nicotine behind. Beyond Tobacco™ from TAAT is about to give them what they want and, if they succeed, give shareholders “Beyond Belief” returns in the next 2-3 years.

Our thesis at AGORACOM is that small cap disruptive technology companies are going to create 3X more wealth this decade than the last 3 decades combined, thanks to the convergence of powerful tech such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT sensors and so on.
Why? The costs to develop, deploy and scale new applications powered by these new technologies have come down to a point where small cap companies can compete head to head with just about anybody. In fact, their size makes them more nimble and able to pivot into emerging trends much quicker than most tech giants.
Which companies will actually succeed in delivering is a determination you have to make. But one company to consider is Predictiv AI (PAI:TSXV / INOTF:OTCQB), whose proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning platform provides predictive and prescriptive solutions in the public safety sector.
In layman’s terms, PAI uses AI and Machine learning to create solutions that can predict danger.
For example, the Company’s Thermal Pass Fever Detection System was recently used at a Carolina Panthers NFL game. Watch this short video to see it in action. Highlights of the system include:
24 medical grade sensors
1,200 readings per second
1 person / second
As you can imagine, Thermal Pass can be used for almost any high-traffic location you can think of. But the big question is …. will anybody actually use it? Because truth be told 99% of us are not in a position to be able to assess how any AI solutions of any company stack up against the competition. The only thing we can rely on is AGORACOM’s favourite metric – 3rd party acceptance. In short, if your product is good, people will want it.
By that measure, PAI is off to a great start with:
Orders for 62 units of ThermalPass since commercial launch in October. Impressive.
Orders include hospitals, long-term care facilities, prisons and public schools. More impressive
6 channel partners. This is really impressive because channel partners don’t waste their valuable time and resources with products they don’t think they can sell
3rd party acceptance at this early stage – CHECK
Watch our interview with Michael Lende in which we do a deep dive into PAI tech, products and future plans.

AGORACOM followers have given us great feedback on our hit series “Beyond The Press Release” (BTPR) in which we speak with small cap CEO’s about important press releases in greater depth and, quite frankly, in layman’s terms for investors to truly understand their significance.
Nowhere is this more important than in the world of disruptive technologies, biotech and pharma. Each of these industries share two distinct traits:
The possibility for explosive growth with disruptive new products
Difficulty in conveying disruptive new products that, by their nature, have never been seen before by investors.
Whereas BTPR tells these stories from the side of small cap public companies, Beyond The Expert (BTE) tells these stories from the perspective of experts on these topics – and we couldn’t think of anyone better to start off this series than Leigh Hughes.
Leigh is a Venture Capitalist who I’ve personally watched conduct incredible due diligence and invest into many small cap companies that have generated incredible returns over 12-18 month periods.
Leigh is so good at what he does that many global private equity funds and institutions take his call and often follow him into investments he chooses to make. Moreover, he serves as an advisor to several small cap companies.
If you ever wanted to truly learn how to become a great small cap investor, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Without further adieu, watch this great interview with Leigh Hughes and make sure to provide us with your feedback via comments on Twitter, YouTube or wherever you may be watching or listening.
