New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio sits with Kasian Franks, CEO and Co-Founder of Vector Space Biosciences, Inc. (SBIO) (“Vector”). The Company works towards innovations to assist humans with drug research in space. Kasian explains the significant medical advancements from research conducted in a microgravity setting. Space can enable a drug compound to crystallize uniformly without the interference of Earth’s gravity. These drugs can be more effective, giving precision medicine to those with diseases and illnesses. Large pharmaceutical companies are developing and repurposing drugs from space experiments. The FDA has around 2,400 drugs approved, but space can create better compounds for a different pharmacology than the original. Kasian talks about Keyturda and Wegovy, examples of drugs repurposed or developed from space experiments. FDA approvals on repurposing a drug are within a few months versus many years and millions of dollars for new FDA drug approval applications. A repurposed drug can add a considerable dollar valuation to an entity with proven success. In the pipeline, Vector is awaiting governmental approval for future rocket launch date(s). Once on the launch calendar, Vector and its sponsors will proceed with a space biological CubeSats lab experiment. Investors interested in the Company can learn about SBIO, a security token that represents the Company’s equity. Vectorspace AI, the parent company, has VXV, a utility token that protects the dataset security and provenance on data-driven innovation and discoveries from experiments. With AI and space experiment data, Vector Space Biosciences has an exciting business model. The on-screen QR code is available during the show; download or visit Vector Space Biosciences, Inc.

From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, New to Street features its newest TV business segment, “Money Makers,” with TV Co-Hosts Colin Jordan and Jane King. Together, they interview Ryan Stock, CEO of Los Magos Spirits International, Inc., a company that is taking sotol, a centuries-old Mexican alcoholic beverage, usually locally produced, and bringing the tasty beverage into international markets. With a focus on land, soul, and community, Los Magos looks to maintain the knowledge of the traditional production methods but scale outputs using modern-day manufacturing approaches. Management always seeks sustainability in its agricultural and production processes. Ryan tells viewers that many consumers have never heard of sotol, its history, or the plant that derives the spirit. Sotol is a distilled spirit from a plant, Dasylirion, commonly found in the Chihuahuan desert in Mexico. Stolo is not Tequila or Mezcal, which comes from the agave plant. Consumers are looking for tasty new drinks, and the demand for Mexican-based spirits is growing worldwide. A hospitality entity in Las Vegas recently informed Ryan that vodka is no longer the drink of choice, and the supply of Tequila products has oversaturated markets. Los Magos’s sotol is flavorful and smooth tasting, and consumer demand is growing throughout the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Promotional events are a good way for consumers to learn about Los Magos Sotol, and in Q1 -2024, the Company expects to launch the product in the Asian and European markets. Los Magos Sotol is growing its sales and marketing, with consumer demand for the tasty drink growing in tandem.

New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King, from the New York Stock Exchange Studio, talks with Stan Little, Chief Executive Officer, and Sudhin Shahani, Founder of Surf Air Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) ($SRFM). The Company is a regional airline business and is in the development and commercialization of electrified aircraft. With on-demand and scheduled services, SRFM provides affordable air travel to approximately 500,000 passengers yearly. Stan informs viewers that its current mobility platforms can offer cost-effective flights, some as low as $99. Management believes its fully electric and hybrid-electric aircraft will be available within three years, flying passengers in regional markets. Sudhin explains how the Company’s engineering team can convert news and use Cessna turbo-prop planes to electrify aircraft. The US has over 5,000 smaller regional public airports, but only 30 airports account for 70% of airline traffic. Management sees a large, underserved regional market that can significantly benefit from its current air mobility platforms and create an efficient and affordable green regional flying experience. SRFM has a solid speed-to-market input from converting existing aircraft to its electrified powertrain. Other air-transport products, including vertical lift crafts, have long lead times, certification issues, and other regulator factors before marketability. Another competitive advantage is that SRFM has a pilot training program, graduating FAA-certified pilots for their platforms and large commercial airlines. Surf Air Mobility, Inc. aims to be a future leader in regional cost-effective electric air travel.

New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King talks with Joseph Kurczodyna, CEO of BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. (OTCPINK: BEGI) ($BEGI), about the Company’s digital trading platform for common stocks. Since 2017, BlackStar Enterprise has focused on unique and novel innovations inspired by token/coin crypto trading. The Company developed its “BDTP™” (BlackStar Digital Trading Platform™), a centralized blockchain platform for digitally trading public companies’ stocks. In October 2023, the Company was issued its first patent for its digital platform and currently has four other patents pending. Joseph explains the differences between decentralized and centralized platforms, with the decentralized trading platforms operating without regulatory approvals. Designed as a centralized blockchain, BDTP™, when it becomes available, will run under regulatory approvals and broker-dealer compliances. BlackStar was originally a merchant banking entity that looked to fund early-stage companies. Still, Joseph realized the potential of using a blockchain for trading shares and moved the Company’s mission to develop BDTP forward. Discouraged investors don’t like the market maker controls and other market mechanisms, which give unfair advantages, eliminating best bid-ask prices when buying/selling shares on stock exchanges. BDTP™ allows for converting shares into a digital wallet, and then the wallet holding digital stock values can be integrated into a current broker-dealer trading platform to execute timely and efficient trades. Brokers will only see the completed transaction, the trades will have no market maker interferences, and the blockchain records all trade transactions. BDTP expects to meet US SEC and FINRA regulatory requirements as a fully encrypted centralized trading platform. Once fully operational, shareholders can control their trades, cutting out the market makers, and should expect better-executed prices on trades. The Company expects to generate fees from brokers and public companies who use the platform, a new transparent, centralized blockchain approach to trading public securities. The interview will air on the FOX Business Network on Monday, January 15, 2024, at 10:30 PM PT.
Internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Alain Ghiai, CEO, Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®) ($SWISF) and New to The Street TV Host / Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry present the “Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security – The Weekly Hack” segment. Ana and Alain discuss the topic of the recent hacking and the theft of data at well-known casino properties, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts. The hack occurred from a source in the USA, and the FBI is still investigating the crime. Alain says casino data is valuable, providing information like names, addresses, hotel stay particulars, and other private info. Most likely, the hackers are selling stolen data on the “Dark Web.” Even if you haven’t been to these Las Vegas properties recently, data from years ago was probably on the servers when stolen. At the onset, it looked like the hack came from an email; casinos and other businesses, unfortunately, use open-source email platforms. The best option is to have a secure Sekur Private Data Ltd email platform. Sekur offers a new product, SekurRelay, software that allows management and other C-suite executives a private and secure email communication platform. Unique to Sekur, the product enables splitting a business domain, allowing emails on Sekur’s platform without limiting the domain’s other emails on other platforms. The product comes with SekurMail’s SekurSend/SekurReply feature that invites electronic communication on Sekur’s closed-loop encrypted platform. The recipient must not be a Sekur subscriber to enjoy the security and privacy features of the product. Subscribers can send emails with time limits, password protection, and other time-out features to enhance privacy for themselves and the recipient. SekurMail has two alias email addresses used for general emails, not for transmitting private data. Alain also recommends its SekurVPN services, which allows end-users to appear always as operating in Switzerland, masking a subscriber’s internet footprint. IP addresses are private under Swiss privacy laws. Any data mining or reselling of information is a significant violation in Switzerland, the strictest privacy law in the world. Alain again informs viewers that Sekur Private Data, Ltd. wholly owns and controls its Swiss base servers, never sells data, never mines data, never asks for phone numbers, never uses 3rd party providers, and never tracks internet traffic. The Company is offering PROMO CODE: PRIVACY that gives 15% savings toward monthly and yearly subscriptions to any of its services. Viewers, please tune in next time for the newest cybersecurity topic on the “Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security– Weekly Hack” segment.
