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) CEO to ring the bell Thursday, but execs are too busy to join him
Ringing the bell to signal the start of trading at the stock exchange is a time honoured tradition for executives at newly-listed public companies. It announces to the market, “We’ve arrived,” and is usually a time to be shared with executives, deal guys, board members, advisors, family members, hangers on, posses, minions, and that guy…

LiteLink Technologies (LLT.C): Using AI and blockchain tech to build the Uber of cargo
Logistics is not hot. Nobody is telling their assistant, “Bring me the hottest trucking deals out there, I have a hundred grand burning a hole through my pocket and I want it buying a semi trailer working the Moose Jaw millet run.” But there is money to be made in transport. Hell, between Lyft, Uber,…

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 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…

AMPD Technologies about to go public: Holding last million of financing for little guys
If you’ve been reading this site for a long time, you’ll have heard us mention AMPD Technologies before. This is a company I’ve been a part of, in an informal advisory nature, for nearly two years, having met one of the founders at a Dungeons and Dragons game way back, and realizing his company would…

Rift Valley Resources (RVR.C): Rural internet through TV signals? Hmm..
Sometimes bringing on a new client in my line of work can be a tricky business. Because we stand behind our much ballyhooed commitment to present you unbiased coverage on the companies we write about, whether they pay for our attention or not, we sometimes have to deal with the experience of firms that aren’t…

Three non-weed deals you don’t know: ParcelPal (PKG.C), Clear Blue (CBLU.V), and Titan Medical (TMD.T)
If I was getting paid by the number of pitches I hear, I’d be making a lot more money than I do. Often, they’re terrible. And I include ‘just okay’ in the terrible column, because if your investment pitch isn’t lights out amazing, it’s death. Sometimes I hear pitches that I really love, but the…
