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 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…

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…

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…

Blockchain Foundry (BCFN.C): Sector be damned, work still needs to get done
If I walked into the Cactus Club on Burrard Street with two supermodels on my arm and an eight ball in my pocket and $5k sticking out of my mouth, and told the assembled Howe St crowd ‘this can all be yours, all you have to do is listen to me talk for five minutes…

You people don’t get CUV Ventures (CUV.V); maybe it’s time you got CUV Ventures
When you’re looking to tell the story of a public company in a way that will resonate with an audience, with a succinct, tagline-sized parable, finding the words ‘multidimensional’ and ‘multidivisional’ in the first few lines of their website will give a writer reason to reach for the coffee. CUV Ventures (CUV.V) isn’t an easy…

To make money in blockchain, invest in the people who do real business, not crypto
I got a document sent to me this week that I haven’t seen before, at least not in my inbox. The document was an ‘offer to rescind.’ I had placed some bets on some private blockchain deals nine months ago, and one of those had decided they were done waiting for the blockchain sector to…

CUV Ventures (CUV.V): What if you built a bank while nobody was looking?
when you ask Steve Marshall, CEO of CUV Ventures (CUV.V) about Cuba, he says, “It’s a lovely place. Great people. Lots of opportunity.” He doesn’t say (anymore), “We are all in on Cuba.” He used to, but the world has changed a little. Pre-Trump, Cuba opening to the world was the next big thing. But…

Cuba Ventures (CUV.V): So many pieces but the puzzle is becoming much clearer
So a while back I told you about a new blockchainy deal called Cuba Ventures (CUV.V). You guys liked it and it ran hard. We like when that happens. But the Cuba Ventures story was pretty simple back then. CUV is building out a blockchain network that allows Cubans and their kinfolk to move money…

Welcome to the Big Show, DMG Blockchain (DMGI.V): Up 23% in second day of trading
Back in the 45 days of deep 2017 when the entire world thought everything blockchainy would be a billion dollar deal by Christmas, which ended on the day HIVE Blockchain (HIVE.V) let founders stock trade early, thereby (and properly) stepping on an insane tulipmania run, all that was needed to make a pubco double were…
