OTC Markets, Zacks, InvestorPoint, Market Exclusive, Simply Wall St, Annual Reports, Wallet Investor, Stockopedia, Barchart, YCharts, GuruFocus, MarketWatch, Infront Analytics, Marketbeat, Morningstar, Stockhouse, 4-Traders, and Capital Cube reported on Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. (PTIX), and today we are highlighting the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. is a pre-clinical biopharmaceutical company listed on the OTC Markets Group’s OTCQB. It works to develop first-in-class neuro-active peptides into human therapeutics to treat anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, addiction, as well as other disorders. Protagenic Therapeutics has its corporate headquarters in New York, New York. Protagenic Therapeutics Canada, Inc. has its office in Stouffville, Ontario.

Protagenic Therapeutics’ mission is to provide innovative, safe and effective treatments for anxiety and depression through using neuropeptide hormones to restore normal emotionality. The Company is developing PT00114 as a therapeutic for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction.

Protagenic’s focus is novel anti-anxiety and anti-depression natural brain hormone pharmaceutical agents, founded on encouraging preclinical results. It has created a portfolio of novel neuropeptides, which are in different stages of development and preclinical evaluation for the treatment of mood disorders.

Recently, Protagenic Therapeutics announced that the naturally-occurring brain peptide upon which its lead drug compound, PT00114, is based, known scientifically as teneurin C-terminal associated peptide (TCAP), was featured in three peer-reviewed publications in major scientific journals.

The three high profile publications support the potential of the Company’s Synthetic TCAP to treat stress-related psychological disorders. TCAP-1 has shown encouraging results in pre-clinical neurologic testing in anxiety and depression.

The Company states that TCAP-1 is a promising treatment for anxiety and depression as it appears to alleviate high stress response-related behaviors. Protagenic’s present work aims to actively pursue therapies, which harness the stress-diminishing capabilities of TCAP-1 in order to boost stress-response.

Regarding its PT00114, Protagenic Therapeutics’ studies have shown evidence that PT00114 is a strong regulator of cellular metabolism. This includes neuronal cells. The Company believes that because this mechanism is similar across different animal species and humans, that its experimental observations can form the foundation for Protagenic’s molecule to work by greatly improving neuronal health.

Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. (PTIX), closed Tuesday's trading session at $1.95, even for the day. The average volume for the last 60 days is 650 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $1.25/$2.20.

NanoVibronix, Inc. (NAOV)

Zacks, InvestorsHub, and MarketWatch reported on NanoVibronix, Inc. (NAOV), and today we are highlighting the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

OTC BB-listed, NanoVibronix, Inc. is a medical device company using its proprietary and patented low intensity surface acoustic wave technology. The Company’s pioneering technology allows for the creation of low-frequency ultrasound waves, which can be used for an array of medical applications, including the disruption of biofilms and bacteria colonization, and also providing pain relief. NanoVibronix has its headquarters in Elmsford, New York. The Company’s Research and Development (R&D) is in Nesher, Israel.

NanoVibronix’s products include PainShield®, UroShield™, NG-Shield™, and WoundShield™. These devices can undergo administration at home, without the aid of medical professionals. The PainShield® device is a wearable, battery powered electronic unit. It uses a disposable patch through which it delivers localized energy creating therapeutic effect to relieve localized pain and stimulate soft tissue healing.

The UroShield™ system is a multi-targeting solution. Its intention is to work against several factors, which are vital in preventing catheter related complications. The NG-Shield™ utilizes the Company’s proprietary acoustic technology onto the Nasogastric tube in such a way that it noticeably decreases the trauma and effective friction of the tube and blocks tube associated pain and discomfort.

The WoundShield™ system is a novel, patch-based therapeutic ultrasound device. It facilitates soft tissue regeneration and wound healing by using ultrasound to increase local capillary perfusion and tissue oxygenation. The WoundShield™ may also be used to enhance oxygen and topical drugs delivery. In December 2016, NanoVibronix announced that it received clearance to sell the WoundShield™ in Canada.

This past March, NanoVibronix announced that it was granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) entitled, "System and Method for Surface Acoustic Wave Treatment of Skin," with a term through 2033, which does not include regulatory extensions.

The Company’s Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology employs a portable patch-based therapeutic device to facilitate soft tissue regeneration by producing ultrasound surface acoustic waves on the skin to increase local capillary perfusion and tissue oxygenation. The surface acoustic waves extend beyond the skin contact area of the device. Therefore, this allows treatment of infected skin areas without painful contact between the device and the infected area.

Recently, NanoVibronix announced successful interim trial results for UroShield™. The trial was conducted at two skilled nursing facilities near Buffalo, New York, in which 22 subjects underwent evaluation. Mr. Brian Murphy, NanoVibronix Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very excited to report the results of this latest study, which reinforces our earlier pre-clinical data demonstrating a significant reduction in bacterial colonization on catheter devices when using UroShield™.”

TradingView, Insider Financial, Stockopedia, Marketbeat, InvestingNote, and MarketWatch reported on BioCardia, Inc. (BCDA), and today we are highlighting the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

BioCardia, Inc. is a leader in the development of total solutions for cardiovascular regenerative therapies. The Company’s biotherapeutic product candidates in clinical development are CardiAMP® (autologous minimally processed bone marrow cells [a patient’s own cells]) and CardiALLO® (allogenic culture expanded mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow [donor-derived]) cell therapies. A clinical-stage regenerative medicine company, BioCardia is based in San Carlos, California.

BioCardia’s two therapeutic programs are enabled by its Helix™ transendocardial delivery systems and Morph® vascular access products that are partnered to enable other promising biotherapeutic programs. Also, the Helix transendocardial delivery system is being used by a number of clinical partners in biotherapeutic clinical trials.

The Helix transendocardial delivery system is the leading percutaneous catheter delivery system for cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Helix enables the local delivery of cell and gene-based therapies to treat heart failure, myocardial infarction, ischemia, as well as cardiac conduction disorders.

The Company’s CardiALLO uses younger universal donor mesenchymal stem cells. BioCardia states that CardiALLO may be suitable for patients who are not optimal candidates for the CardiAMP therapy.

CardiAMP harnesses the potential of autologous minimally processed bone marrow cells, using a companion diagnostic to identify patients most likely to benefit from the therapy. The design of the investigational CardiAMP cell therapy system is to deliver a high dose of a patient’s own bone marrow cells directly to the area of cardiac dysfunction to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanism after a heart attack.

BioCardia announced in January 2018 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an Investigational Device Exemption for the CardiAMP Chronic Myocardial Ischemia (CMI) Trial to treat patients with refractory angina (RA).

The CardiAMP Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Trial will be a prospective, multi-center, randomized, sham-controlled, patient- and evaluator-blinded pivotal trial. The trial is to validate the safety and efficacy of CardiAMP investigational cell therapy in the treatment of patients having CMI with RA.

The CardiAMP Heart Failure Trial is presently enrolling patients at 13 world class centers in the U.S. with Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) National Reimbursement.  The trial design was published in the American Heart Journal in April of this year.

BioCardia received a new US Patent related to its CardiAMP cell potency assay. This provides further protection to the Company’s autologous cell therapy programs in heart failure and chronic myocardial ischemia indications.

On April 25, 2018, BioCardia announced the issuance of United States Patent No. 9,945,854 relating to methods of measuring therapeutic potency potential and defining dosages for autologous cell therapy.

In May, BioCardia announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved national reimbursement coverage for the CardiAMP Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Trial.

BioCardia, Inc. (BCDA), closed Tuesday's trading session at $1.33, down 5.00%, on 495,999 volume with 3,309 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 450,879 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $8.40/$23.70.

The Company reported sales of $8.3 million dollars since launching its products on Dec. 13, 2017. Also today, NetworkNewsWire released a report on the company detailing how SHRV is working to address the unique challenges facing the growing number of entrepreneurs ditching the office for direct selling, due to factors such as flexibility of working hours, accessibility of technology and lower overhead.

Sharing Services Inc. owns, operates or controls an interest in a variety of companies specializing in the direct selling industry that either sell products to the consumer directly through independent representatives or offer services that range from health and wellness, energy, technology, insurance services, training, media and travel benefits. SHRV has created the “Blue Ocean Strategy,” which melds three keys together to implement the company’s vision. These keys include elevating home-based entrepreneurs, known as “Elepreneurs,” utilizing the direct selling channel to generate 100 percent organic growth, and sending as many successful company “families” as possible on vacation.

Sharing Services Inc. subsidiaries include:

  • A growing international network of home-based entrepreneurs, called “Elepreneurs”
  • Growing selection of health and wellness products dedicated to elevating the well-being of all people
  • Insurance from auto, home and life to health benefit discounts and health insurance that help families elevate their options

Sharing Services recently expanded its corporate footprint by moving to a 10,000 square foot facility in Plano, Texas, that offers room to expand as the company grows and its subsidiaries flourish. The larger corporate locale provides space for a growing customer service department, product fulfillment, opportunity and training rooms, as well as a video production suite.

“The opportunity to expand to the rest of this new building over the course of the next six to 12 months ensures we won’t have to move again anytime soon,” Sharing Services Inc. Chairman Robert Oblon said. “We are on track for very significant growth here in the U.S., as well as upcoming international expansion, so this move is in preparation for what’s in front of us.”

The company recently signed a joint venture agreement with Health Wealth & Happiness Limited (“HWH”) to expand its “Elepreneurs” brand and market its products throughout Asia. The newly formed company will be named “Elepreneurs Asia Limited” and will have marketing and sales rights to China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Papua, New Guinea.

Formed in Hong Kong, Health Wealth & Happiness Limited is dedicated to working with visionary partners like Sharing Services Inc. to deliver the best products and services to improve the well-being of consumers.

Nearly 1,000 people attended Sharing Services, Inc.’s first “Elepreneur Happiness Convention,” held March 2-3, 2018, in Dallas, Texas. Attendees arrived from several countries including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Singapore and Hong Kong. Keynote speakers included several internationally known motivational leaders –  Shawn Achor, Sandra Yancey, John Fleming and Les Brown – who provided exceptional material and inspirational discussion points.

“The enthusiasm of our attendees and the early success that we are experiencing is incredible considering our growth has been 100 percent organic, with almost no marketing from the company,” Oblon said. “I’m speechless by the dedication of our Elepreneur leaders and their entire teams, as they share our incredible line of products that have helped so many people.”

Sharing Services and its management team plan to travel the U.S. to hold several mini conferences to expand on the messages presented at its Happiness Convention that focus on helping people become “healthier, happier and wealthier.” Details of the company’s aggressive global expansion initiatives are soon to be announced, Oblon said.

The law firm of Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP has been retained as outside corporate counsel for all general business matters.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA).

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, and its joint venture partner Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG / OTC: GBHPF / FRANKFURT: GHG) (the “Partners”) are pleased to provide an update on their high yielding CBD hemp farming project in Scio, Oregon (the “Project”). Also today, NetworkNewsWire released a report on the company detailing how MCOA, through wholly owned subsidiary hempSMART™, is delivering all the benefits of hemp-derived cannabidiol products amid an ongoing struggle to end the opioid epidemic. The company was also highlighted today in a report on how Hemp-CBD oil commands thousands of dollars per kilogram and cannabis and hemp growers in particular have the potential to realize more than $100,000 profit an acre growing hemp plants to produce it.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA) (the “Company”) are pioneers in the cannabis industry going back to 2009 when Don Steinberg, MCOA’s CEO, founded the first marijuana company ever to trade on a U.S. stock market, Medical Marijuana Inc. Since then, Don and his partner, Charlie Larsen, have formed Global Hemp Group and Marijuana Company of America. They have experienced the shift of legislation first hand, not only for the legalization of marijuana but also the emerging hemp-based CBD products.

The CBD market is growing exponentially and consequently the founders of MCOA have constructed their business model around the development of industrial hemp-based CBD products. The industrial hemp plant can be used to produce products that are carbon neutral or even carbon negative. It is one of the longest, strongest natural fibers on earth, used as a building material that is free of mold, pesticide-resistant, and fire proof. Hemp has also been described as a “super food,” which provides additional business opportunities. No part of the plant is left unused and the Company’s overall strategy is to take advantage of every profit center from farm to the multiple valuable finished products.

The cannabis and hemp industries are experiencing unprecedented growth that is expected to continue for many years as these industries are now accepted globally and continue to mature and expand. North American consumers spent $6.7 billion on legal cannabis products in 2016, up 34% from 2015’s $5 billion. This trend is widely expected to explode at a 27% compounded annual growth rate to reach $22.6 billion by 2021, according to ArcView Market Research.

The company offers investors the opportunity to be on the forefront of cannabis and hemp innovation through cultivation, processing in the legal cannabis and industrial hemp sectors. The Company’s business model includes producing a diverse portfolio of synergistic business segments that provide value to its shareholders. Its vertically integrated business model and distribution platforms are positioned to capture market share by developing recognizable and valuable brands.

ABcann Global (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ABcann Global (ABCCF).

Globally licensed cannabis company ABcann Global Corp. (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) this morning announced its entrance into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Canna Farms Limited, a premium cannabis company in British Columbia. To view the full press release, visit: http://nnw.fm/gsV4P. Also today, ABCCF was highlighted in an article on the growing opportunity for hemp-based CBD products, as active cannabis companies continue to diversify product offerings and target new markets.

ABcann Global (TSX.V: ABCN) (OTCQB: ABCCF) is a globally licensed, cost efficient producer of premium quality, organic, standardized medicinal cannabis. One of the earliest licensed medical marijuana producers under Canada’s federally-controlled Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), ABcann has five years of operating experience in the burgeoning medical marijuana space through its flagship operation, ABcann Medicinals, Inc. The company recently received its Health Canada license to produce medical cannabis oils and is working toward production of saleable, extracted, finished products that will lead to a final inspection allowing sales of its oils.

“Receipt of the license to produce cannabis oils is a major milestone in our pursuit to provide our medical cannabis patients with additional product formats that can be precisely dosed. The expansion and innovation of our product lines are a top priority for the Company as we continue to serve the needs of our customers, and we anticipate strong demand for our cannabis oil products,” ABcann Global CEO Barry Fishman said.

ABcann Global owns and operates a fully functioning 14,500 square foot facility in Napanee, Ontario, which is being doubled in size to produce 1,400 kg of cannabis per year. The company’s expansion plans include adding a seasonal greenhouse and a hybrid, multipurpose facility, capable of producing 31,000 kg of cannabis per year between the two facilities, to be constructed on 65 acres it already owns near the Napanee facility. This additional location is properly zoned with existing infrastructure in place for an eventual 1.2 million square feet of production space.

ABcann has built a reputation over the years for its best-in-class standardized approach to growing cannabis that includes the absence of pesticides and a computer monitored growing technique that provides a consistent, pharmaceutical-grade with high yields. The company’s custom, scalable growing chambers with proprietary lighting can be replicated anywhere in the world, leading to lower production costs. This technique, which the company calls the ABcann Advantage, has helped it record a customer retention rate of 94.7 percent alongside 30 percent month-over-month customer growth. When combined with ABcann’s current yield rate, which it has measured at roughly 100 percent greater than the industry average, the company has constructed a strong foundation upon which to build a sizable presence in the global cannabis industry.

This global growth potential is illustrated by ABcann’s partnership with Israel’s Syqe Medical, producer of the world’s first selective-dose pharmaceutical grade medicinal plant inhaler. After visiting ABcann’s production facility, Perry Davidson, founder of Syqe Medical, noted that the company’s production technologies put it “in a class with the best in the world” in its ability to produce standardized pharmaceutical grade cannabis.

ABcann’s recent acquisition of Harvest Medicine Inc. represents further progress toward the company’s goal of becoming a vertically integrated medical cannabis company. Harvest Medicine is one of the fastest growing medical cannabis clinics in Canada – adding over 1,200 new patients monthly from a single location – with an aggressive expansion plan and a patient-focused approach that perfectly aligns with ABcann’s philosophy of quality and innovation.

ABcann’s seasoned management team, board of directors and advisory board features well over a century of combined industry experience. Fishman, who has over 20 years of experience as a business leader, previously served as CEO of both Teva Canada and Taro Canada, as vice president of marketing at Eli Lilly Canada, and as past chair of the Canadian Generic Manufacturers Association. He most recently served as CEO of international specialty pharmaceutical company Merus Labs.

Notably, ABcann also has access to the ‘Father of Cannabis Research’, Raphael Mechoulam, PhD, through its board of advisors. An organic chemist and professor of medicinal chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Mechoulam was the first scientist to isolate both cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). He has received more than 25 prestigious academic awards, including the Rothschild Prize in Chemical Sciences and Physical Sciences in 2012.

With more than 65 acres of growth capacity, a healthy cash balance to fund upcoming construction efforts, steady sales growth, industry-leading yield rates and an established operations team in place, ABcann is well positioned to compete in the rapidly expanding Canadian cannabis industry and beyond.

ABcann Global (ABCCF), closed the day's trading session at $0.9817, up 8.96%, on 323,328 volume with 376 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 215,487 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.65/$3.2929.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (LXRP).

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX: LXRP) (CSE: LXX); the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a drug delivery platform innovator, and Hill Street Beverage Company Inc., (BEER; "Hill Street") jointly announced that they have signed a Definitive Agreement to license Lexaria's DehydraTECHTM, on a semi-exclusive basis, for a term of five (5) years, to produce a line of cannabis-infused alcohol-free beverages for Canadian distribution, following regulatory approval.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) has developed and out-licenses its proprietary technology for improved taste, rapidity, and delivery of bioactive compounds, including cannabinoids. Though boasting a wide range of health benefits, cannabinoids are traditionally poorly absorbed by the body’s gastrointestinal tract. To achieve higher effectiveness, consumers usually default to smoking. Lexaria provides a superior administration method by delivering hemp oil ingredients – or through locally licensed partners, cannabis oil ingredients – through a patented process within food products.

The key differentiator between Lexaria’s products and others on the market is the company’s disruptive technology proven to enhance the absorption of orally ingested cannabinoids while improving the “unusual” taste of cannabinoids and allowing for lower overall dosing with higher efficacy. Lexaria is primarily a B2B enterprise, and is in licensing discussions or has existing agreements with companies in Canada, the largest-market states in the USA, and internationally. Lexaria has also developed its own brands partly for demonstration purposes, utilizing its patented technology to infuse hemp oil ingredients within lipids in popular foods. These brands include ViPova™, Lexaria Energy Foods, and TurboCBD™.

In 2015, Lexaria commissioned an independent, third-party lab to test its technology under carefully monitored in vitro conditions. Results showed that the company’s technological process and lipid formulation both improve intestinal absorption as much as 500%. Additional follow-up studies in human volunteers suggested that Lexaria’s processed, lipid-infused tea may be more effective in an actual gastrointestinal system than in an in vitro simulation with results indicating as much as a 1,000% increase in overall absorption.

Lexaria also has an R&D partnership with the Canadian government’s National Research Council. That R&D is expected to characterize molecular bond formation theorized to occur with Lexaria’s unique technology between the lipid delivery agents and the bioactive substances it processes and combines. Results from this R&D are expected to support accelerating B2B relationships – not just in the cannabis industry, but also to support new B2B business relationships in the fields of vitamins, NSAIDs, and nicotine delivery. All of these sectors expected to offer additional future growth potential.

Aside from testing, a critical component of Lexaria Bioscience’s business model is a strong intellectual property portfolio that utilizes the most commonly used food processing techniques. As of 2017, the company’s patent portfolio includes 19 patent applications filed and pending in more than 40 countries around the world. The most recent patent applications expand Lexaria’s lipophilic food and beverage composition claims to include the processing of cannabinoids, vitamins, NSAIDs and nicotine in many of the world’s most commonly used food processing ingredients. Lexaria is expecting additional new patent awards both in the USA and internationally in 2017 and 2018.

Royalties play a vital role in Lexaria’s revenue-generating business model. The company out-licenses its technology (royalty) to third party partners, and has several deals signed and/or pending. The company’s growth initiatives are guided by a management team headed by CEO Chris Bunka, a serial entrepreneur who has raised more than $50 million in working capital for the companies he has led over the course of his career. He is supported by a team of professionals with extensive experience in pharmaceutical and bioscience sectors, invention, toxicology, consumer goods, and other relevant skillsets.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (LXRP), closed the day's trading session at $1.7175, up 3.46%, on 113,718 volume with 146 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 240,077 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.322/$2.54.

Building on the company’s tag line – “Pick a Fight” – the FANDOM SPORTS app provides an always fresh, authentic rush of deeper-than-surface interactive content that resonates with the targeted age demographic of 18-34. Intense sports fans aren’t afraid of stepping up to the plate to engage other users by unleashing their opinions within the app’s structured debate resolution tool coined “FanFights.” Sports-loving fans can explore, gloat, vote, invite friends, create provocative FanFight topics and play to win while inside the FANDOM SPORTS app, which is currently available in the Apple App store and coming to the Google Play store imminently.

The global platform enables applications (either FANDOM SPORTS created or 3rd party apps) to be operated in partnership with leading sports themed brands, leagues, and service providing companies within three verticals – live action, eSports, & fantasy – from around the world by supplying “interactive sports entertainment” to fans.

FANDOM SPORTS hosted transactions are placed on the distributed ledger, making them immutable and public to verified users interacting within the business ecosystem. Tracking this digital footprint provides extremely valuable metadata generated by users’ very dynamic behavior and sports passion.

FANDOM SPORTS’ Brand and Sponsorship partners are harnessing the affluent sports fans age 18-34 with integrated marketing content and service experience. The moments-based marketing integration will translate through FanCoin redemption, in exchange for items provided by programs established by FANDOM SPORTS and its clients. These programs are a key part of the business model and covers, as an example, the following partners; Sports Leagues, TelCo’s service offerings, and Content owners (i.e. FANDOM SPORTS provides new paying customers to the owners of pay-per-view platforms).

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Victory Square Technologies Inc. (VSQTF).

Subject to all requisite regulatory approvals, Victory Square Technologies Inc. (CSE: VST, OTC: VSQTF, FWB: 6F6) announced it intends to convert an aggregate of $805,240.47, the majority of which comprises loans advanced to the Company by Shafin Diamond Tejani, Chief Executive Officer of Victory Square, into common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”). Each Share would be issued at a deemed value of $1.00 per Share. As the current market price is $0.84 per Share, the deemed value represents a premium of 19% per Share.

Victory Square Technologies Inc. (VSQTF) is a venture builder that creates, funds and empowers entrepreneurs working in the fields of blockchain technology, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, personalized health, gaming and film. As a technology incubator, Victory Square invests in game-changing entrepreneurs who are provided access to education programs, global mentorship networks, distribution partners, creative workspaces, resources, and other forms of operational support to help them scale internationally.

Victory Square has made multiple early partnerships and investments in the blockchain space. Approximately three years ago the company incubated and invested in BTL Group, which is now a $150 million dollar TSX-listed company offering blockchain solutions across multiple industries with particular focus on the finance, energy and gaming sectors. BTL’s showcase product – Interbit – is a blockchain platform that facilitates the rapid development of business applications that dramatically improve efficiency. Some of the world’s largest institutions are using Interbit to explore new opportunities on private blockchains.

A new social sports betting platform to be developed by Victory Square’s wholly owned subsidiary, FansUnite Media Inc. As a social sports data platform, FansUnite relies on robust data to allow members of its community to engage with like-minded individuals by collaborating, discussing, and predicting the winners of sporting events with a free virtual currency. The integration of blockchain technology into FansUnite’s social sports data platform could also lead to blockchain initiatives developed by other divisions and subsidiaries of Victory Square.

Integral to the FansUnite platform is the introduction of FAN Tokens, an in-game currency purchased with the cryptocurrency Ethereum that token holders can use to place wagers. FansUnite members will be able to earn FAN Tokens through participation in any number of networking effects identified in the company’s Bounty program.

“Blockchain technology and the inherent security it provides will enable us to push every envelope we can to build the most dynamic and responsive social sports betting platform,” said Darius Eghdami, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FansUnite. “The opportunity to secure data through Blockchain certainly appeals to the accountant in me and we are confident it will become the gold standard among sports betting sites around the world.”

Company subsidiary Victory Square Health Inc., which serves as the venture arm dedicated to companies focused on the development of solutions in personalized health technologies, has also invested in Personalized Biomarkers Inc. (PBI). PBI develops test kits that reliably predict the expected response to a number of therapies prior to prescription, with an initial focus on diabetes. Within this field, five potential biomarkers have been identified, allowing PBI to enter a $4 billion market opportunity.

“We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Personalized Biomarkers as they have correctly identified a massive market opportunity, and have formed an exceptional team of industry leaders,” said Shafin Diamond Tejani, Chief Executive Officer of Victory Square. “This is another investment that is fully aligned with our newly created subsidiary, and one we expect to significantly impact the landscape of personalized medicine.”

A partnership with Insight Diagnostics Inc., also through Victory Square Health, will focus on the development of a personalized diagnostic solution for the improved management and prevention of Type II diabetes.

The company’s investment in V2 Games, a development and publishing studio of high-quality mobile games, is another example of incubating great ideas. V2 Games is well known for its successful launch of PAC-MAN Bounce and Beast Brawlers, two of the company’s releases that are capturing the gaming world by the millions of downloads.

In a move designed to strengthen its presence in film and entertainment, Victory Square has acquired a 40 percent equity stake in United Film Fund II, LLC, which is producing three major motion pictures in 2017 and 2018 including “What They Had,” starring two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank.

“This kind of investment in entertainment and film represents a major plank for our Company going forward and we consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to acquire this 40% stake in the Film Fund,” said Tejani, who has launched more than 40 startups in 21 countries that employ hundreds of people and generate more than $100 million in annual revenues. “We believe it’s another strong initiative in film production for us and our stakeholders,” he added.

Victory Square has strategically positioned itself in the legal cannabis industry through an investment in Tantalus Labs, a Canadian-based cannabis cultivation company. Tantalus Labs optimizes plant health and sustainable cultivation by using a unique, environmentally controlled greenhouse engineered specifically for growing cannabis. Called a “SunLab,” the greenhouse takes 90 percent less electricity, uses filtered rainwater, and cools the growing environment to prevent stagnant moisture, recycling the air every 7 minutes to achieve maximum airflow.

Victory Square and its leadership team have seamlessly transitioned from its former identity as Fantasy 6 Sports Inc, a company focused solely on fantasy sports, mobile gaming and immersive sports, to a strategic technology company that creates, funds and successfully executes leading-edge ideas. A long-time technology entrepreneur and advocate of the industry, Tejani received the Person-of-the-Year Award at the 2017 Technology Impact Awards in British Columbia, a hallmark award category that recognizes betterment of the tech industry through leadership and philanthropic or enterprise skills and talents. Tejani has pledged to match up to $1 million in donated funds to be shared by a number of Canadian endeavors aimed at education and child-safe projects.

“These are exciting and important steps in the evolution and growth of our Company, and which properly and fully align with our strategic plan focusing on our core competencies in Blockchain Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Gaming, Personalized Health, Film and Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality,” said Tejani. “We’re spurred on by the success we have had in building on our original forays into fantasy sports, mobile gaming and immersive sports. In addition, we are energized by our most recent initiatives in sports, personalized health and entertainment and the confidence being shown by our shareholders in the dynamic direction of the Company.”

Victory Square Technologies and its management team believe innovation, incubation of excellent ideas and social responsibility are at the core of its growing success.

PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (PRVCF).

PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H) (the "Company" or "PreveCeutical"), is pleased to provide an update on its three phase, scorpion venom-derived peptide research and development program (the "Program"), which consists of identifying, extracting and sequencing peptides and proteins isolated from Caribbean Blue Scorpion venom, which are a highly complex mixture of peptides, enzymes, mucoproteins, free amino acids, lipids and other biological substances.

PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE:18H), headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a health sciences company dedicated to researching and developing innovative options for preventive and curative therapies utilizing organic and Nature Identical™ products. The company is strategically staking out select positions in the medically acute areas of diabetes and obesity, pain management, neurological disorders and cancer.

PreveCeutical Medical Inc. had its beginnings in 2009 when Stephen Van Deventer, a seasoned businessman and venture capitalist, and Kimberly Van Deventer, a successful entrepreneur, met and formed a business partnership. The duo created Cornerstone Global Partners, a venture capital and business development company, and became involved in numerous ventures including building companies such as Aurora Cannabis Inc. Taking their interest in the health and wellness market further, the pair began researching how nature and science can work together to benefit health-conscious consumers. Coining and trademarking the word “PreveCeutical” – a combination of the words “preventive” and “pharmaceutical” – was a precursor to the company’s formation and incorporation in October 2015.

The company’s first product was developed in the Dominican Republic and is now marketed and distributed worldwide by PreveCeutical. It is a Caribbean Blue Scorpion venom product sold under the trade name CELLB9®. This product is an oral dilute solution infused with select peptides sourced exclusively from the blue scorpion (Rhopalurus princeps) found only in Caribbean nations. The active potentiated ingredients in CELLB9, which have been used in over 40 countries for over a decade, appear to support health at a deep, cellular level. PreveCeutical’s research team is using proprietary chemistry to generate Nature Identical™ peptides derived from natural compounds found in Caribbean Blue Scorpion venom with the goal of eventually treating, regulating and preventing cancer progression. Peptides are also being used to target an array of disease indications including metabolic disorders, pain management, cancers, cardiovascular and infectious diseases.

PreveCeutical is developing the first nose-to-brain delivery system of cannabinoids (CBDs) with a novel process that prepares insoluble drug-containing nano-micelles and successfully incorporating them into a proprietary sol-gels application, essentially creating a targeted drug delivery vehicle. Intended for use via a nasal spray, this unique formulation rapidly gels upon contact with mucosal tissue, which paves the way for direct nose-to-brain delivery. This novel application eliminates first pass metabolism (stomach, intestines, liver), potentially improving bioavailability and delivering extended time release formulations that may alleviate side effects of higher dosage therapeutics. This CBD-based patented formula is projected to be deployed in selected markets with licensed medical marijuana companies within 18 months.

PreveCeutical is working with four leading Australian research centers to develop a curative therapy for diabetes and obesity. This four-year program involves engineering a novel approach that selectively targets the gene that encodes for the protein PTP-1B, which is implicated and over-expressed in both type-2 diabetes and obesity. PreveCeutical’s gene-silencing technology would effectively “turn off” the genetic signal which leads to the over-production of this key protein molecule, bringing it back down to safe, normalized levels, and prevent the body from storing excessive fat. Diabetes kills one person every six seconds, with more than $800 billion spent globally on the disease.

Another exciting joint venture, established with Sports 1 Marketing, will focus on the therapeutic potential in the peptides and proteins connected to the Caribbean Blue Scorpion venom to potentially treat mild brain injury concussions. Developing a therapeutic product geared towards athletes who suffer from concussions could help alleviate suffering experienced by those who are affected by head trauma.

PreveCeutical Medical’s science and research team is led by Dr. Harendra (Harry) Parekh, Ph.D., who is based at the University of Queensland’s (UQ) Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence (PACE), and Dr. Makarand Jawadekar, Ph.D., whose 28 years of R&D experience with Pfizer Inc., is applicable in his role as chief science officer. Research collaborators include Dr. Rakesh Veedu, an emerging expert internationally in the field of molecular medicine, and Professor Grant Ramm, who is currently head of a leading medical research institute located in Brisbane, Australia.

PreveCeutical Medical is partnering with leading industry experts and companies in its quest to be a leader in the preventive health sciences sector. Its Research and Development partnership with UniQuest, the main commercialization company for the University of Queensland, provides PreveCeutical with the rights to all intellectual property arising from projects created under the agreement. PreveCeutical Medical Inc.’s management team brings an extensive portfolio of research experience, product development, deep corporate strategy and capital markets leadership to the company’s core.

PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (PRVCF), closed the day's trading session at $0.027625, off by 1.34%, on 658,920 volume with 54 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 570,448 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.002/$0.20.
