To reserve your spot: Eventbrite – Espace MicroCaps 5to7 Cocktail – Summer 2018

The presenting companies have been hand-picked based on the attractiveness of their business model, market opportunity and fundamentals.

 

FLYHT Aerospace Solutions (TSX-V : FLY)

About: FLYHT’s mission is to improve aviation safety, efficiency and profitability. Airlines, leasing companies, fractional owners and original equipment manufacturers have installed the Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) on their aircrafts to capture, process and stream aircraft data with real-time alerts. AFIRS sends this information through satellite networks to the UpTime cloud-based data center, which provides aircraft operators with direct insight into the operational status and health of their aircraft and enables them to take corrective action to maintain the highest standard of operational control.

Opportunity: Not only do FLYHT’s technologies improve the safety of aircrafts and help save lives, they also reduce operational and maintenance costs for aircraft operators, thus providing an attractive ROI. The company holds many patents and regulatory certifications, creating solid barriers to entry around its business. In its most recent quarter (Q1 2018), the company generated $3.3M in revenue, 50% of which was derived from long-term recurring revenue contracts (typically signed for 5 years) and OEM licensing fees. With an already impressive backlog of $26M and large countries such as China moving forward with new regulations for aircraft safety, it seems like FLYHT is perfectly positioned to benefit from strong industry tailwinds in the months and years to come!

 

Ortho Regenerative Technologies (CSE : ORTH)

About:  Ortho RTi is an emerging Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine technology company dedicated to the development of novel therapeutic tissue repair devices to dramatically improve the success rate of sports medicine surgeries. The company’s proprietary biopolymer has been specifically designed to increase the healing rates of sports related injuries to ligaments, tendons and cartilage. The polymer can be directly placed into the site of injury by a surgeon during a routine operative procedure without significantly extending the time of the surgery and without further intervention.

Opportunity: Ortho RTi is based in Montreal and its technology, developed at Ecole Polytechnique, has received $12M in research funding to date. Ortho’s main development program is Ortho-R, indicated for the treatment of rotator cuff tears. According to the company, this represents the fastest path to approval for commercial sales in the US sports medicine market. On May 31^st, 2018, the company raised $1.44M through a private placement, which provides an important part of the necessary funding to move towards the initiation of human clinical trials in 2019. Success in clinical trials and getting a human ‘’proof of concept’’ for the technology will be significant value-creation milestones over the coming quarters. We should also mention that the company’s largest shareholder, Steve Saviuk (~26% ownership), is a smart venture capital investor and pharmaceutical entrepreneur. Those who are familiar with our investing style know that we love to invest alongside smart investors, so Ortho RTi is definitely a company we follow!

 

NuRAN Wireless (CSE : NUR)

About: Based in Quebec City, NuRAN Wireless is a leading supplier of mobile and broadband wireless infrastructure solutions. Its innovative radio access network (RAN), core network, and backhaul products dramatically drop the total cost of ownership, thereby creating new opportunities for established, as well as emerging mobile network operators. Indoor coverage, isolated rural communities, offshore platforms and ships, NuRAN Wireless helps its customers reach everyone, everywhere.

Opportunity: NuRAN’s team has more than 30 years of experience in engineering and has developed low-energy, low-cost wireless systems that are far more effective than anything currently on the market. An important validation of the technology is the fact that the company has been working with Facebook for the last 3 years as well as major network operators around the globe. NuRAN’s goal is to provide the equipment necessary to connect the next billion people in rural emerging markets. Over the last few years, NuRAN worked on getting its equipment certified with network operators and is now expecting to land multi-million, multi-year contracts over the coming quarters. Having closed the first tranche of a private placement on June 7th, 2018, for gross proceeds of $2.5M, NuRAN is now ready to advance its expansion globally!

 

This event will be the last one before the summer break. We are glad to conclude the first half of 2018 with these three amazing companies, and we hope you’ll enjoy! Again, to book a ticket, please click here.

We hope to see many of you on June 19^th!
