The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Marshall Chapin, CEO of Grid AI Corp., wholly-owned by GridAI Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: GRDX), a technology company focused on intelligent energy orchestration for hyperscale AI data centers.

To begin the interview, Chapin provided an overview of GridAI’s core mission and the infrastructure challenges the company aims to address within the accelerating AI buildout.

“GridAI is a software and optimization company focused on one of the most urgent bottlenecks in the AI revolution: power availability and efficiency for data centers,” he said. “Global data center investment is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, and yet, in many markets, power — not land or chips — is the limiting factor. That’s where GridAI plays. Our platform orchestrates energy across the entire data center campus… to help data center operators get power faster, operate more reliably, and optimize cost.”

He then discussed the company’s operating model and emphasized that GridAI is already delivering real-world solutions in active deployments.

“We operate a software-led recurring revenue model designed to scale alongside AI campus growth. We’re not a concept-stage company. We’re supporting customers in the market today, which gives us real-world data and operational insights as we build out the next generation of our platform.”

Looking ahead, Chapin outlined the company’s priorities for the remainder of 2026.

“For 2026, it’s really about scaling with discipline. Operationally, our goals are to expand customer deployments, particularly tied to AI and high-density data center environments; continue advancing our software platform, especially around forecasting, optimization and automation; and convert operational learnings into repeatable, scalable offerings that drive recurring revenue… Electricity demand from AI workloads is rising rapidly, and we’re positioning GridAI as the trusted orchestration layer to help operators navigate that complexity more efficiently.”

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features David BenDavid, CEO of Rail Vision Ltd. (NASDAQ: RVSN), an early commercialization stage technology company focused on transforming the railway safety and rail data markets.

To begin the interview, BenDavid provided an overview of Rail Vision’s core mission and the value its technology is designed to deliver to rail operators worldwide.

“Rail Vision builds AI-based vision systems for rail operations,” he said. “We provide real-time hazard detection and situational awareness for locomotive drivers. In one sentence, the value is straightforward: early detection leads to fewer incidents, less damage, lower downtime, and, ultimately, safer operations.”

He then outlined the company’s execution priorities for the year ahead, emphasizing a focus on commercial discipline and scalable growth.

“This year, our main focus will be commercial scaling: expanding within our customer base, turning pilots into repeated deals and building strategic partnerships with major rail players… 2026 is mainly about repeatability, turning traction into orders while maintaining the technology lead we currently have in the marketplace.”

Addressing broader industry dynamics, BenDavid pointed to increasing urgency around railway safety and the growing receptiveness to advanced detection systems.

“You look at the news recently, and you see multiple accidents that made the headlines. They all have a common theme: incidents always start with something unplanned, something unexpected. That’s exactly where Rail Vision fits in. We add an independent layer that helps detect these unexpected incidents early and supports faster decisions – sometimes even intervention – before situations escalate… Lately, we’re seeing a much higher level of intent and receptiveness to these kinds of systems.”

Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with David BenDavid, CEO of Rail Vision, as he discusses the company’s AI-driven safety platform, commercial scaling strategy, and positioning within the evolving global rail market.

• In an environment increasingly defined by investor demand for clear commercialization pathways, ai6 Labs introduces a business model built around a structured, closed-loop ecosystem.
• Rather than positioning itself purely as a hardware company, Wearable Devices describes ai6 Labs as developing infrastructure for the autonomous computing era.
• At the core of ai6 Labs lies LMM, a proprietary neural AI framework designed to interpret electromyographic signals.
• The launch of ai6 Labs arrives amid rapid shifts in the human-machine interaction landscape.

The Bottleneck Slowing Autonomous AI

The rapid expansion of generative AI has exposed limitations in how machines interpret real-world human intent. While large language models can understand commands expressed through text or speech, many applications, especially in spatial computing, robotics and wearable environments, require continuous and precise control signals that traditional interfaces cannot provide. Industry analysts frequently note that the future of AI interaction depends on new input modalities capable of delivering real-time contextual data rather than static commands.

Gesture recognition and neural signal interpretation are increasingly explored as natural human–machine interface modalities because electromyography (“EMG”) enables direct translation of muscle activity into digital control signals, supporting more intuitive interaction models beyond traditional input devices. However, achieving reliable, high-fidelity interpretation remains technically challenging, as EMG signals are inherently weak, highly variable across users, and susceptible to environmental noise, motion artifacts and electrode placement differences. Research in biosignal processing further shows that decoding muscle activation into accurate commands typically requires advanced machine-learning architectures and extensive training datasets to address the nonstationary and complex nature of biological signals.

Simultaneously, the proliferation of smart glasses, XR environments and wearable AI devices has increased demand for touch-free control methods. Wearable Devices reports growing interest in intuitive gesture-based interaction aligned with the expansion of smart glasses markets expected to reach multibillion-dollar scale, reinforcing the need for reliable intent-capture infrastructure. Traditional input devices such as keyboards, controllers and voice assistants introduce latency or context limitations that restrict autonomous systems. For AI agents to perform real-world tasks, they require a continuous flow of high-resolution signals that reflect user intent instantly and accurately. This “intent gap” has created a “capabilities overhang” where the reasoning power of modern agents remains physically bottlenecked by the high-friction, low-resolution interfaces of the past.

Wearable Devices positions ai6 Labs as a direct response to this challenge. The lab aims to create a neural ecosystem capable of decoding biological signals into machine-readable data, effectively forming a “digital nervous system” linking human intention to AI-driven action.

• The service robotics industry is undergoing a fundamental shift, and TechForce Robotics is one of the leaders.
• Modern service robotics is increasingly positioned not as a labor replacement but as a revenue multiplier, with Nightfood and TechForce Robotics operating within this framework.
• Nightfood and TechForce Robotics are positioned as early movers in the Robotics as a Service (“RaaS”) model.
• Commercial readiness is now the primary driver of automation adoption, and Nightfood’s robotics platform is structured around this reality.
• Nightfood Holdings operates at the intersection of AI-driven service robotics and hospitality automation, a market being rapidly reshaped.

Labor Shortages Are Structurally Limiting Revenue

Hospitality and live-event environments operate on peak demand cycles, where a small number of high-traffic hours can determine a large share of total revenue. When staffing fails to match those peaks, the impact is immediate: longer queues, slower service, fewer transactions and abandoned purchases. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics continues to show persistent employment gaps in leisure and hospitality, with chronic job openings and high turnover rates that have not normalized since the pandemic era.

In addition, the National Restaurant Association reports the operational side of this challenge, showing that labor scarcity and wage inflation are forcing operators to rethink staffing models and productivity strategies. The report emphasizes that many operators are unable to fully staff high-volume shifts, leading to operational bottlenecks and lost revenue opportunities during peak periods.

In high-traffic venues such as stadiums, conventions and live events, these constraints are amplified. Demand surges occur in narrow time windows, including halftime breaks, intermissions, session transitions and post-event exits, when service speed directly determines how much revenue can be captured. When labor is insufficient, venues do not simply lose efficiency, they lose sales. This structural mismatch between demand and available labor has turned automation from a “future innovation” into a present-day operational necessity.

This is where Nightfood Holdings enters the conversation as a solution provider rather than a conceptual technology developer. Through its AI robotics strategy and TechForce Robotics subsidiary, the company is positioning automation as infrastructure, designed to operate in high-volume environments, increase throughput and convert peak-demand congestion into measurable revenue capture rather than lost opportunity.

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Fareed Aljawhari, Founder, CEO, and Director of Micropolis Holding Co. (NYSE American: MCRP), a pioneer in unmanned ground vehicles and AI-driven security solutions.

To begin the interview, Aljawhari shared how Micropolis began with a focus on autonomous police patrols but quickly expanded its scope.

“When we started, we thought we would be just developing autonomous police patrols and the security applications powered by AI for the Dubai police and focusing on this category… but actually we can do much more with this technology we’re building today. So, we aimed to create the basic technology for robotics and AI, mainly unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and customize for different applications across different industries.”

He then explained the company’s modular approach, which allows for efficient customization across industries.

“We created a two-part product, a Mobility-Specific Platform (MSP) and an Application-Specific Pod (ASP). Today, we’re developing autonomous products based on our M1 and M2 platforms. One goes on open roads and streets, and the other is aimed at more controlled and gated communities… We can go to any customer—municipality, oil and gas, defense—and build specific robots for specific operations, all based on our M1 and M2 platforms.”

Aljawhari emphasized how trust from high-level security organizations has positioned Micropolis as a credible industry leader.

“For example, with Dubai Police, we have operation room software to analyze behavior using a suspect matrix. It’s very useful for police. It is a robot that acts as a patrol but thinks like a policeman… We deployed one of those in Global Village, something similar to Disneyland… You can see kids playing next to it, super safe… Our technology being trusted by the people who are responsible for safety and security in this country is really fascinating. It’s a huge success.”

• Nightfood Holdings reports that its completion of targeted acquisitions has enabled the company to meet key criteria for uplisting.
• The company now generates more than $10 million in annualized revenue, driven by a diversified portfolio of assets including operating hotels and its packaging subsidiary.
• Nightfood reports that its recent acquisitions collectively represent approximately $100 million in transaction value.
• The robotics and AI sectors are poised for significant growth, with emerging technologies transforming operational efficiency across multiple industries, including hospitality.

Uplisting as a Strategic Growth Catalyst

Uplisting provides emerging companies with broader visibility and access to a deeper investor base. For small-cap technology firms, including those in robotics and AI, transitioning to a national exchange such as NASDAQ or NYSE American enhances credibility and can facilitate access to capital markets. Uplisting also requires more rigorous reporting standards, which can increase investor confidence in both financials and governance practices.

Data demonstrates that companies undergoing uplisting often experience growth in both trading volume and institutional interest. For robotics and AI firms, this is particularly significant, as these sectors demand long-term investment to fund research, development and deployment of advanced automation solutions. Enhanced market credibility can directly support strategic partnerships and business development initiatives.

Industry forecasts reinforce the importance of scale in AI and robotics. Grand View Research reports that the global service robotics market was valued at approximately $47 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $107 billion by 2030, growing at a 12.4% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”)  Companies that achieve uplisting readiness are better positioned to capture market share in this rapidly expanding environment. “The service robotics has witnessed growing penetration in various sectors owing to factors including precise services, low-cost solutions, flexibility and reduction of human efforts,” Grandview noted.

For small-cap firms in this growing sector, achieving a national exchange listing signals operational maturity and can attract institutional investors seeking exposure to emerging AI-enabled technologies. Uplisting can also improve liquidity for shareholders, enhance company valuation and provide the foundation for continued acquisitions and strategic growth initiatives.

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Frank R. Parrish, III, President of GlobalTech Corp. (OTC: GLTK), a U.S.-based technology holding company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and digital infrastructure.

To begin the interview, Parrish shared GlobalTech’s mission of building value through a collaborative and technology-driven approach.

“GlobalTech’s a technology company that has something remarkable in its DNA. We fearlessly believe that value creation is a collaborative journey that needs creativity, clarity and singleness of purpose,” he explained. “Technology development and deployment are at the core of our growth strategy, and we’re constantly enhancing this capability to deliver quantifiable success.”

He went on to describe the company’s dual-vertical strategy, combining proprietary product innovation with value-added acquisitions.

“We’ve developed two distinct verticals of business excellence. Our technology vertical is focused on AI and big data applications. We create products using the latest technology stack that have a transformative effect on business operations.… Our business holding vertical includes technology-centric business operations—established businesses that have their own growth trajectory… Being a holding company, we've worked hard to deploy a highly cohesive operational landscape within the organization. This ensures that GlobalTech itself is the first beneficiary of the exponential impact of emerging technologies, which delivers maximum value for all stakeholders.”

Parrish also highlighted the company’s rapid international expansion and collaborative development model.

“It’s hard to believe we started just a year back on the market access and have an on-ground footprint now in the USA, the UK, the EU, the Middle East, and Australia for product and service offerings. Overall, the momentum has been very positive, and we plan to capitalize further on our strengths.”

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Nick Liuzza, CEO and Co-Founder of Beeline Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BLNE), the fast-growing digital mortgage platform redefining the path to homeownership.

To begin the interview, Liuzza introduced Beeline’s mission to modernize mortgage lending by aligning technology with the digital expectations of younger generations.

“There are 75 million millennials out there… they grew up with smartphones. There’s 25 million Gen Z behind them,” he said. “Almost a third of the population grew up differently than when the mortgage industry created their products way back in the day. Enter Beeline, which has designed a brand and product to address this market with faster, better, more credible information, supporting a wider variety of products… that is consistent, accurate, and available 24/7, 365.”

He went on to discuss how Beeline’s leadership team is backing its strategy with personal capital and long-term conviction.

“We are in the trenches. We believe in what we do, and we put our money where our mouth is. I have $16 million invested in the company. Our COO has several hundred thousand dollars in the company. Our CFO is vested. Our management and product teams in Australia are vested. We believe in what we’re doing, and as a result of that, we’ve written checks to buy shares and grow the appreciation — and recognize that appreciation — as shareholders.”

Liuzza emphasized that Beeline’s disciplined capital management and sustained technology investment are enabling it to scale faster than competitors.

“We entered 2025 with $7 million in debt. Our goal was to be debt free by the end of 2025. We actually achieved that on September 5. We’re on our way to cash flow positive for Q1 2026… Our big spend is on tech; it never stops. We kept our foot on the gas pedal when the market was bad, spending, developing, and creating to execute on our vision… We knew the window would open, and when it opened, we had to be ready with a model that was unique and different. That’s what we’ve built… We have the tailwinds, and, now that we’re on track to go cash flow positive, we’ll look to fund that continued development through our earnings.”

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher for a conversation with Nick Liuzza, CEO and Co-Founder of Beeline Holdings, as he shares how the company is building scale through innovation, capital efficiency, and AI-powered disruption.

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Nick Liuzza, CEO and Co-Founder of Beeline Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BLNE), the fast-growing digital mortgage platform redefining the path to homeownership.

To begin the interview, Liuzza introduced Beeline’s mission to modernize mortgage lending by aligning technology with the digital expectations of younger generations.

“There are 75 million millennials out there… they grew up with smartphones. There’s 25 million Gen Z behind them,” he said. “Almost a third of the population grew up differently than when the mortgage industry created their products way back in the day. Enter Beeline, which has designed a brand and product to address this market with faster, better, more credible information, supporting a wider variety of products… that is consistent, accurate, and available 24/7, 365.”

He went on to discuss how Beeline’s leadership team is backing its strategy with personal capital and long-term conviction.

“We are in the trenches. We believe in what we do, and we put our money where our mouth is. I have $16 million invested in the company. Our COO has several hundred thousand dollars in the company. Our CFO is vested. Our management and product teams in Australia are vested. We believe in what we’re doing, and as a result of that, we’ve written checks to buy shares and grow the appreciation — and recognize that appreciation — as shareholders.”

Liuzza emphasized that Beeline’s disciplined capital management and sustained technology investment are enabling it to scale faster than competitors.

“We entered 2025 with $7 million in debt. Our goal was to be debt free by the end of 2025. We actually achieved that on September 5. We’re on our way to cash flow positive for Q1 2026… Our big spend is on tech; it never stops. We kept our foot on the gas pedal when the market was bad, spending, developing, and creating to execute on our vision… We knew the window would open, and when it opened, we had to be ready with a model that was unique and different. That’s what we’ve built… We have the tailwinds, and, now that we’re on track to go cash flow positive, we’ll look to fund that continued development through our earnings.”

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher for a conversation with Nick Liuzza, CEO and Co-Founder of Beeline Holdings, as he shares how the company is building scale through innovation, capital efficiency, and AI-powered disruption.

There will be more data to synthesize than ever before, more sources to manage, and we have a role and an obligation as a provider in the space to innovate and provide ways to do that efficiently.”

Carlson highlighted how AI is transforming every aspect of corporate communications, ushering in a new paradigm he refers to as Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).

“We’re seeing a shift from traditional SEO to GEO as more people get information through AI summaries rather than clicking through search links. Almost 80% of consumers… who are doing an online search are searching with some type of AI summary, and 40% of those are directly interacting with an LLM. What that means for our obligation as a provider is we have to adapt with the industry.”

“This shift is actually democratizing the communications and search landscape. The way LLMs work today, they’re actually scrolling past the first page of Google. It’s not about the first 10 blue links anymore… That’s really exciting for us, because it means that a five-person business has equal opportunity to impact search results as a Fortune 10 brand.”

Nightfood Holdings Inc. is pioneering a new era in the hospitality industry by merging hotel ownership with AI-powered Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), positioning itself as a first mover in automating hotel operations. The company recently announced plans to acquire two institutional-grade hotel properties in California — one in Victorville and another in Rancho Mirage — together totaling approximately $80 million in assets. These hotels will serve as flagship locations for integrating guest-facing and back-of-house service robots, including food delivery and cleaning bots developed by its Skytech Automated Solutions division. Nightfood’s vertically integrated model pairs predictable RaaS subscription revenue with the long-term value of real estate holdings, creating a scalable and future-ready business structure in a sector that’s embracing AI and automation at unprecedented rates.

This innovation comes amid explosive growth in the AI and hospitality robotics markets, projected to reach $1.46 billion and $107 billion respectively by 2029 and 2034. Nightfood is capitalizing on this momentum with a dual-revenue strategy, generating recurring income from automation while enhancing property value through strategic acquisitions. The company’s leadership team brings impressive experience in hotel operations and development, ensuring disciplined expansion and high operational standards.

About Nightfood Holdings Inc.

Nightfood Holdings Inc. is revolutionizing the hospitality industry by combining AI-powered robotics with strategic hotel acquisitions. The Company’s innovative approach uses advanced automation technology to significantly improve hotel efficiency, reduce operating costs, and address labor challenges.

With its dual focus on owning hotel properties and offering Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), NGTF is strategically positioned to capitalize on the rapidly growing global service robotics market, which is expected to surpass $170 billion by 2030. This integrated business model provides scalable revenue streams and positions NGTF as a leader in technology-driven hospitality solutions.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The TechMediaWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Claude Zdanow, CEO of ONAR Holding Corp. (OTCQB: ONAR), a leading marketing technology company and marketing agency network focused on delivering integrated, AI-driven solutions to accelerate revenue growth for its clients.

During the interview, Zdanow discussed ONAR’s business model and operating markets.

“We own and operate businesses that help middle-market companies generate revenue online. That can be primarily in the digital space, helping companies advertise and sell products online,” he said. “We have one vertical business called Storia that specializes in that sort of digital marketing. We have another business vertical called Of Kos that offers similar services in the healthcare space, but more B2B. Of Kos helps middle-market companies in the healthcare arena generate revenue through marketing and advertising. There are some interesting things we do with tech and AI to really enable what we’re offering, but simply said, we help people sell stuff.”

Zdanow next discussed his background prior to joining ONAR.

“I have a bit of a non-traditional background. I actually did not start in the technology or marketing industries. I started as a musician signed to a band that was on an imprint of Warner Bros. I realized that my childhood dream of being a touring musician was not what I was going to do for the rest of my life, so I was able to parlay that into starting a music company. For a long time, I ran a recording studio and artist management company in New York City. Most notably, we ended up signing and launching the careers of The Chainsmokers.”

“I then exited that business, and it was through music that I got into advertising and marketing. I built a company that rolled up advertising and marketing companies before exiting in early 2021. From there, I was recruited by the initial investors and family offices backing ONAR to come and be the CEO of this company. The vision was to take all of the lessons I’ve had from my previous positions, particularly in the advertising and marketing industry, and do it better, faster, and smarter. The big difference that I brought to the equation was this idea of building a business designed for middle-market companies. We’re not chasing the Fortune 100s of the world. We see a lot of opportunity for great businesses that are doing really cool things with technology, and we provide offerings that are directly correlated to revenue for those types of clients.”

During the interview, Zdanow discussed ONAR’s business model and operating markets.

“We own and operate businesses that help middle-market companies generate revenue online. That can be primarily in the digital space, helping companies advertise and sell products online,” he said. “We have one vertical business called Storia that specializes in that sort of digital marketing. We have another business vertical called Of Kos that offers similar services in the healthcare space, but more B2B. Of Kos helps middle-market companies in the healthcare arena generate revenue through marketing and advertising. There are some interesting things we do with tech and AI to really enable what we’re offering, but simply said, we help people sell stuff.”

Zdanow next discussed his background prior to joining ONAR.

The TechMediaWire Podcast features fast-paced interviews with leaders driving innovation across emerging tech sectors. The latest episode spotlights Aki Yorihiro, Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer of Newton Golf Company (NASDAQ: NWTG), a technology-forward golf equipment manufacturer revolutionizing shaft performance through science-backed design.

In this episode, Yorihiro discusses the company’s groundbreaking Fast Motion Shaft, a new product engineered for speed, control, and precision—already in play across the PGA TOUR Champions, LPGA, and Korn Ferry Tours.

“The Fast Motion shaft delivers real performance gains—more speed, better feel, and tighter dispersion—which is why we’re seeing it in play across the PGA TOUR Champions and LPGA,” Yorihiro said during the interview.

Yorihiro also details Newton’s unique shaft fitting approach using its proprietary dot system, which eliminates the psychological resistance many players feel when moving away from traditional shaft stiffness labels.

Episode Highlights:

• Why over 30 Tour professionals have adopted Newton shafts
• The science behind Fast Motion’s lightweight, high-performance design
• How Newton’s fitting process removes stigma and improves outcomes for all swing types
• Target audiences for Fast Motion: seniors, women, youth, and players seeking better dispersion with added speed

The TechMediaWire Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in the tech industry. The TechMediaWire Podcast’s latest episode features Robert Steele, Founder and CEO of Thumzup Media Corp. (NASDAQ: TZUP), an emerging leader in social media branding and programmatic marketing solutions.

During the interview, Steele discussed Thumzup’s business model and how the company is helping small businesses stand out.

“We think of Thumzup as Uber for advertising. Just like Uber created tens of billions of dollars of value by democratizing ride sharing so that anyone can participate and make a little extra money by driving people around, we believe that Thumzup is in the process of democratizing the $200 billion social media marketing and advertising industry. We’re opening it up so that everybody can participate and get paid to tell their friends about brands and businesses that they love.”

“Thumzup is the only platform we know of that makes it really easy for businesses to pay people cash to post about the brand or business to their friends on their personal social media. For instance, I recently went to a coffee shop, and, when I was standing in line, the woman in front of me ordered a latte. I pointed out a sign on the counter saying that this coffee shop will pay you $10 to share a photo of your latte with your friends on Instagram. Before I'd even finished that sentence, this stranger pulled her phone out of her purse, downloaded Thumzup and made $10 for her $6 latte. That's frictionless.”

“The problem for all the small businesses in the United States is that everyone has their face in their phone. If a business is not on that phone, they're not even going to be noticed in 2025. Particularly for small businesses, they’re busy making food and manning the counter. They don't have time to be on Instagram. We solve that problem for them. Businesses can go on the Thumzup website, create a campaign, pick how much they want to pay people to post, and pick how many posts they want to buy… It’s a very simple concept, and we have first-mover advantage.”

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Robert Steele, Founder and CEO of Thumzup Media, to learn more about the company’s monetization strategy, as well as its commitment to transparent compensation for creators.

A noteworthy factor in D-Wave’s growth in bookings was the first-ever customer purchase of a D-Wave Advantage™ annealing quantum computing system, which reflects a significant expansion to the company’s revenue model as it broadens its overall go-to-market offerings to include on-premise system sales.

“We believe it is evident that the world is quickly recognizing the near-term usefulness and value of D-Wave’s quantum systems,” Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, stated in the news release. “With remarkable growth in bookings, our first Advantage system sale and an increasing number of customer applications moving into production, in our view, D-Wave is clearly driving the commercialization of quantum computing. While others remain in the research and development mode, we are delivering incredibly powerful technology and products to customers today, helping them tackle their tough computational problems faster, better and with less energy.”

To begin the interview, Collins discussed the relationship between Globex-U.S., Horizon, Upstream and MERJ as it relates to a recently launched capital raise inviting retail investors to own a piece of the proprietary trading and exchange technology powering Upstream.

“The investment opportunity is in Globex-U.S., an American entity which owns Horizon, a Swiss software company that licenses technology to MERJ for one of their markets called Upstream, a trading application that tokenizes real world assets and earns trading fees,” he said. “Those trading fees from Horizon’s technology deployment as an exchange are shared between MERJ, which is the regulated entity, and Horizon, the software company. Those profits, of course, also flow up to Globex-U.S., the company doing its funding round.”

“We really want people to come into a trading platform that allows us to open securities trading to everybody. It's no longer an elite kind of club where, especially outside of America, where you're from would preclude you from stock trading. In particular, investment opportunities that we feel are really exciting in America, with micro-cap and mid-cap companies, have been almost impossible to reach from here in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia.”

“When those companies list in the States, they can come and do a list on our platform. It brings liquidity to those companies, driving their balance sheet and their liquidity in the U.S., as well as, of course, opening them up to an international retail investor community. What we want to really be able to do is have people invest in us so that we can bring even more companies to our exchange, add more value to U.S. companies that list with us and allow access to international retail investors… We want to have people as part of an exchange for a change.”

Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and TechMediaWire’s latest podcast guest to learn more about how positioning retail investors as owners of the technology powering Upstream aligns with the overall vision to introduce the next generation of trading.

To begin the interview, Currie provided an introduction to Hillcrest’s business model and operating markets.

“We're a power conversion company specializing in high-value, high-power applications such as our EV traction inverter. Power conversion devices are critical in nearly every electrical system. For example, an inverter is a power conversion device used to convert a battery’s direct current into the alternating current needed to drive an electric motor in an EV,” Currie explained.

Throughout the interview, Merchan discussed Flora Growth’s business model.

“Flora Growth was founded three years ago under the idea of learning from early adopters in the cannabis industry. We wanted to grow cannabis in an outdoor way at the lowest production cost in the world,” Merchan said. “To do so, we selected Colombia, one of the most beautiful geographies located alongside the equator in the world. Of course, we built a world-class team of agronomists who are helping us grow cannabis in an organic way at a cost that cannot be competed with anywhere, worldwide.”

Strange bedfellows, COVID-19 and cannabis. As the pandemic wreaked havoc on the U.S. and global economies, cannabis sales rocketed higher across multiple markets in North America. California cannabis sales soared nearly 160% compared to the same day in March 2019, while sales in Washington rocketed 100% and Colorado saw a 46% increase on the same day. This surge doesn’t appear to be a flash in the pan either. An emerging leader in the U.S. cannabis marketplace, Cannabis Strategic Ventures (OTCQB: NUGS) (NUGS Profile), is now on pace for over $2.7 million in quarterly sales and approximately $11 million in annualized sales, based on its strong performance in April and May. Simultaneously, the company increased its harvest size by as much as 2.5x and is now selling product at an 11% premium to industry standard. Like any industry, the real winners in the cannabis markets are tied to sales and earnings growth. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) has continued to release new products for a variety of markets while attracting significant investment from the beverage sector. Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) has continued to work on expanding its international reach. With a similar focus on growth, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) has acquired another company to expand its reach from Canada into markets in the United States. Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI), whose business was initially disrupted by COVID-19, has begun a phased return to work and almost immediately announced the release of new products, making the most of continuing consumer demand.

Sproutly Canada Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) is developing new technology to manufacture cannabis edibles and to accurately measure their active ingredients. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) (LXRP Profile) has created a bold new technology to make cannabis’ active ingredients more palatable and absorbable. BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTC: BVNNF) is producing white-label products, giving other brands access to the market. HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE: HEXO) is meeting its regulatory needs by acquiring other licensed cannabis producers and processors. Valens GroWorks Corp. (TSX.V: VGW) (OTCQX: VGWCF) has created a large and growing extraction and testing facility.

Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) is among the companies moving into Kentucky, with a million-dollar investment in hemp growth. Hemp’s national prominence is growing through deals such as Aurora Cannabis Inc.’s (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB) collaboration with United Fighting Championship (UFC). Research work by Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) may involve using hemp to treat a growing range of physical and mental ailments. Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: CURLF) (CSE: CURA) is serving states without a strong, homegrown hemp industry, such as Florida. In addition, companies across the cannabis sector, such as Cronos Group Inc. (TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ: CRON), are diversifying their product ranges as more hemp crops come online.

With a series of smart acquisitions and brand expansions, Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) appears to be a strong pick-and-shovel presence as California looks at passing hemp-friendly legislation. Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) just announced a new hemp-based acquisition, while Greenlane Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN) and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) (TGOD Profile) have both inked deals that strengthen their presence in the hemp industry as well. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB), another industry supplier, just created a new sales division aimed at mass distribution, industry education and compliance, and building CBD-brand distribution networks.

With a pending acquisition in the cultivation supply market, Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) appears to be well poised to become a strong pick-and-shovel provider to the hemp industry. Even the large cultivators and suppliers are now getting in the hemp market. One of the first companies of the larger players to make the move into hemp cultivation was Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), which just a few days ago announced that it would invest $300 million to enter the hemp market. Not to be outdone in the hemp gold rush, Greenlane Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN), which began trading on the NASDAQ, and The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) (TGOD Profile) have both entered the fray. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB), another industry supplier, is also seeming to benefit for the strong growth in the hemp marketplace.

Savvy companies such as Youngevity International Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI) recognize the potential payoff of being involved in the back end of the cannabis industry. The company’s wholly owned subsidiary Khrysos Industries Inc. just signed a five-year contract to purchase hemp plant biomass for extraction, end-to-end processing and production of hemp-derived products. Indiva Limited (TSX.V: NDVA) (OTCQX: NDVAF) has successfully received an amended license from Health Canada for three additional grow rooms and three additional processing rooms. Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (TSX: NEPT) (NASDAQ: NEPT) recently announced that its wholly owned subsidiary received a notification letter from Health Canada indicating that all requested license amendments have been approved. Other cannabis companies are making strategic moves in the industry as well. CannaRoyalty Corporation (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF) has obtained final approval to move forward with its plan of arrangement with Cresco Labs, which will result in the largest-ever public company acquisition in the U.S. cannabis sector. And KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB) has partnered with C.A. Fortune, a leading full-service national consumer products sales and marketing agency, with the intent to grant viable CBD companies access to large-scale, conventional retail channels.

With the rise of these cannabis beauty products, major stores from luxury retailers Barney’s and Neiman Marcus down to Walgreens, Rite Aid and now Kroger are stocking products from a range of CBD SKU producers, including Green Growth Brands (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF), Charlotte’s Web Holdings (TSX: CWEB) (OTCQX: CWBHF), CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST) (NYSE: CTST), Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX.V: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) (OGI Profile) and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE American: HEXO).

Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) is supporting many of these companies that have cultivation licenses by providing cultivation and extraction equipment. Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), one of the biggest companies in the sector, is increasing its growing capacity while helping educate about medicines. Cronos Group Inc. (TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ: CRON) is leaning into new technology, with new facilities for R&D and processing. The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) (TGODF Profile) has tapped into the demand for organic produce and is now expanding into global CBD market. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) (OTC: GWPRF) is developing powerful new medicines, in which hemp could help tackle previously uncurable illnesses.

Golden Developing Solutions Inc. (OTC: DVLP) has used a mix of acquisitions, diverse brands and products, and increased production footprint to meet customer demand and report significant revenue increases, including its strongest second-quarter numbers ever. Industry giant Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) has followed a similar path, though some change may follow the recent departure of its co-CEO. Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) has invested heavily in increasing production while reaching into new markets such as the United Kingdom. Medmen Enterprises Inc. (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) and Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) have both shown the potential for growing multistate businesses in the United States, despite the challenges created by federal legislation.

Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), a provider of cultivation equipment, is adding processors to its catalog of products, focusing on next-generation machinery. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) will be among the companies with a rising demand for processing, as it increases both its cultivation capacity and its product lines. Demand is rising in part thanks to CBD’s public profile, with deals such as the partnership between Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) and UFC shining a spotlight on the plant and its potential. New uses for CBD are also increasing demand for the plant, with R&D led by companies such as Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) and Aphria (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA).

TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FRA: TH8) has made several key acquisitions, creating a large operation with various licenses and recognized brands. HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE American: HEXO) has taken a similar path with the acquisition of Newstrike. Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) is building a positive public profile through releasing educational tools. Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) has expanded the hunt for cultivation licenses to Germany. Meanwhile, companies such as Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (TSX: CWEB) (OTCQX: CWBHF) keep releasing new products into the market.

Quarter-over-quarter sales growth is one of the indicators used to target explosive upside potential. Similar growth patterns were exhibited by many of the cannabis behemoths prior to parabolic price increases. In what may be an equally telling indicator, Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) revenues have now increased 11 consecutive quarters, quarter on quarter, ever since the company started selling its hemp-based CBD products. Similar quarterly sales spikes and strategic acquisitions foreshadowed dramatic price increases in some of the largest names in the cannabis universe. Last October Medmen Enterprises Inc. (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) soared 60% in one week when the company announced a deal to buy PharmCann. Florida-based Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTC: TCNNF) (CSE: TRUL) went public last September through a reverse merger in Canada and soared 200% after a strong 2018 Q2. Already up big on Canadian exchanges, Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) became the first pure-play marijuana stock to list on NASDAQ around $7 and just bounced off $23 a share. Last year, Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) became the first cannabis company to IPO on the NASDAQ at $17 per share and by September skyrocketed to $300. Despite price surges and fluctuations in the big cannabis names, there’s bound to be more money made in the sector; the run is far from over.

Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), a company already established in the hydroponic equipment business, is making plans to add extraction technology to its repertoire. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has been researching new medical applications for CBD and related chemicals — medicines for which extraction will be critical. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB) has moved from providing support services to CBD-related companies to running its own store and has recently bolstered its leadership team for further growth. Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HRVSF) has expanded swiftly over the past six years, growing from a single operation to a presence in five U.S. states. And in a boost to CBD’s public profile, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB) has teamed up with UFC to research the application of CBD and related treatments for mixed martial artists.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) has recently seen spectacular improvements in the effectiveness of cannabinoids thanks to its proprietary chemical delivery treatment. GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) (OTC: GWPRF), which has won widespread praise for its innovative medical work, has seen good trial results for a new treatment for seizures.  Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is supporting studies into the uses of cannabinoids to treat behavioral problems and HIV. MariMed Inc. (OTCQB: MRMD) has set up a subsidiary focused on CBD, currently the highest-profile cannabinoid product. Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) has established a new research lab to develop devices for CBD consumption.

Geyser Brands Inc. (TSX.V: GYSR) has recently announced an acquisition that provides the company with two brands of hemp and CBD products. Indiva Ltd. (TSX.V: NDVA) (OTCQX: NDVAF), which provides infused products for humans, is working on a new extraction facility to increase its production. Viridium Pacific Group (TSX.V: VIR) (OTCQB: VIRFF) is supporting the growth of the hemp and cannabis industries through investment, both in acquisitions and in partnership with smaller companies. Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) (WLDFF Profile) has raised the public profile of CBD through celebrity associations and entry into prestige shops. Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) is producing CBD products for both humans and their furry companions.

This seems possible when one considers the truly innovative work being done in the sector by the likes of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), which has developed a patented delivery technology with disruptive potential, delivering 475% more CBD to the bloodstream after 15 minutes than conventional formulations. Other sector innovators are making a similar impact, including the likes of noted cannabinoid biopharma GW Pharmaceuticals Plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) (OTC: GWPRF) and that of researchers and product developers Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), MariMed Inc. (OTCQB: MRMD) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB).

TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (XETR: TH8) has developed a refined acquisition strategy, assessing more than one hundred targets before settling on a select few to acquire. Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL) (OTCQX: CRLBF), one of America’s leading multistate cannabis companies, has recently announced its agreement to acquire CannaRoyalty Corp. (OTCQX: ORHOF), giving it control over a vast distribution platform. In Canada, HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE American: HEXO) has been given approval to acquire Newstrike, as the country’s vibrant industry consolidates following recent dramatic growth. For those without vertical integration, companies such as DionyMed Brands Inc. (CSE: DYME) (OTCQB: DYMEF) provide vital support services, including logistics and distribution.

As part of its commitment to build a large and well-supplied sales channel, hydroponic supplier Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) is in the process of making acquisition of companies that supply the hemp industry. An increasing need for supplies is coming from companies such as Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), a major cultivator and processor making moves on the CBD drinks and well-being markets. Cronos Group Inc. (TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ: CRON) has entered into a supply agreement with another provider to ensure the materials it needs for its products. Global efforts by companies such as New Age Beverages Corporation (NASDAQ: NBEV) and Aphria (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) may further strain U.S. supply chains, due to greater cultivation restrictions in other parts of the world.

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) is one of the companies benefiting most from this attention, with its products featured in Kim Kardashian’s baby shower and the new Saks CBD store. Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) has seen strong market coverage as its shares rose following action to tackle product shortages in Canada. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has fostered its public profile through efforts by the company’s media-savvy co-CEO. Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) drew attention as its share value rose with a large external investment. Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB) has been focusing on growing better CBD-producing plants, work that has drawn attention to its VP of cultivation.

• Kim Kardashian’s CBD-themed baby shower drew attention to the range of relaxing CBD products.
• Other high-profile appearances are boosting upper-end CBD brands.
• Broad media coverage is normalizing and drawing customers to the sector.

Cultivation supplies company Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD) (SGMD Profile) has acquired several other suppliers, allowing it to benefit from economies of scale. Canadian cultivator Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is investing heavily in new growing space. Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has expanded from Canada into the United States and is collaborating with other companies to meet demand. Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) has received a substantial inflow of funds from a tobacco company and is investing some of it in R&D. Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (CSE: CWEB) is focusing on growing high-quality hemp to supply a range of novel products.

• California’s growing pains are a recipe for success for handful of savvy operators
• Brands, consistency and scalability likely deciding factors for many companies
• Projected global market size an open-and-shut case for scaling up NA sector

The market growth resulted from retailers in nine legal adult-use states being pushed beyond the sector’s historically core demographics, targeting fast-growing new segments such as women, with an emphasis on elements such as wellness and clearly labeled/low-dose alternatives. That trend was reinforced with CBD breaking out into the mainstream, as industrial hemp became legal throughout the United States, and cannabis companies looked for ways to stand out from the crowd. Some companies were more successful at this than others, with TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (XETR: TH8) (TCAN Profile) making huge strides recently to expand the upper-end procurement part of the business, as well as flesh-out its footprint of branded offerings. Other moves have been made by comparable sector players such as Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC) (TSX: WEED), DionyMed Brands Inc. (OTCQB: DYMEF) (CSE: DYME), Cresco Labs Inc. (OTCQX: CRLBF) (CSE: CL) and CannaRoyalty Corp. (OTCQX: ORHOF) (CSE: OH), which are pursuing similarly comprehensive approaches to the sector that run the gamut from raw inputs to changing branding, marketing and distribution methods.

• Vaping is tied to the tobacco and cannabis industries but has become popular as a healthier delivery system for both products.
• Investment and mergers are fueling the industry’s expansion.
• Working smarter in the competitive market may be savvy strategy.

Many companies are jockeying for position in this new space. Interestingly, some of the more successful companies may not necessarily be the big players but those that work smart with what they have. Among these smaller smart companies is VPR Brands LP (OTC: VPRB) (VPRB Profile), which has used innovative products and marketing tactics to expand its customer base. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO), a tobacco giant that has invested heavily in vaping. Greenlane Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN) works on the distribution side and has impressive reach, supplying nearly 10,000 stores and two major online outlets. KushCo Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: KSHB) has moved successfully from packaging into cannabis. Thanks to cannabis-based medicines such as those created by GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH), vaping may even develop a place in medical care.

• Cannabis projections often fall far short of actual sales growth.
• Cannabis-infused beverages looks to be next area of explosive upside.
• Beverage and cannabis companies striking deals to gain market access.
• New technologies could snag significant market share.

Once viewed as wild conjecture for the future of cannabis markets, forecasts in 2015 fell severely short of actuality.
