FansUnite (FANS.C) sports book debuts on the CSE, pandemic be damned
We get a lot of clients wanting to be written about on Mondays because that’s when everyone drops their good news. I usually try to tell them Friday is the sweet spot, because they have less competition on the good news front (the Friday bad news dump is real), and their stories will be read…

AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) management pulls baller financing move, fights off shorters
AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) CEO Anthony Brown told a reporter yesterday he was looking to raise money for acquisitions and growth, with a $2 million raise announced a few days ago. Nothing weird about that. What was maybe a little weird was the flex Brown was pulling in the announcing of that financing. With his stock heading…

AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) secures video rendering deal with team behind Rick and Morty and Teen Titans Go!
My favourite thing is when a company says ‘we’re going to do a thing,’ and then a few weeks later they announced that thing actually happened. That shouldn’t be a weirdly high standard but, in the public markets, it is. A few weeks ago, AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) told the world it had completed work on…

AMPD Ventures (AMPD.C) begins trading on the CSE today – here’s why it matters for internet users
The year is 2029. A rogue and non-copyright protected artificial intelligence system has gained sentience and launches an Oedipal war against humanity, its creators. Our best hopes for survival lie in the child-prodigy gamers of yester-year, trained for maximum lethality in combat, vehicle operations and strategy thanks to high-performance computing servers which cuts latency to…

E-Sports ETFs are terrible and not really about e-sports, but what is?
Zynga (ZNGA.Q), the mobile video game developer, is a terrible investment. The sort of large company that only stays large because it’s large to begin with, thereby attracting dumb investment from institutional folks who buy the things they see mentioned on CNBC, Zynga made US$280 million in revenues last quarter, dropping a net loss of…

E-sports in a nutshell: Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V)’s Overwatch League team makes finals, but where’s the dough?
If you bought into Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V) because they have a connection to the Vancouver Titans Overwatch League team, congratulations on their winning season, where they came runner-up in the finals against the San Francisco Shock. The Titans came into the final with a 25-3 record, which isn’t horrible, but wasn’t enough to take it…

AMPD Technologies, Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V), Riot Games, Louis Vuitton and the dawn of e-sports investing
For many people of my vintage, the concept of being entertained by watching other people play video games is confounding. But make no mistake, competitive e-sports is a thing. Enthusiast Gaming (EGLX.V) recently completed a merger with Aquilini Game Co and Luminosity to become a Global e-sports and gaming Leader. The merged company has $22…

E-sports is starting to run, but let’s use some common sense here
Over the last few days, as cannabis took another face plant into the toilet bowl, a ton of money has been looking for somewhere else to go. That should have been great news for the resource sector, though they haven’t yet figured out how to get cannabis investors interested in what they do. And it…

Here’s what’s next: e-Sports is happening right now, and hell’s coming with it
I’m about to land at the next Cambridge House extraordinary Future investor conference this week, with more speaking events than I honestly know what to do with. Part of the reason why they’re being tacked on is because we here at Equity.Guru have spent the last year telling you virtual reality/augmented reality is coming to…
