CGrowth Capital Inc. Announces the acquisition of Savage Barbell Apparel Company

CGrowth Capital, Inc.

McapMediaWire -- CGrowth Capital Inc. (OTC: CGRA ) is a public Mergers and Acquisition Company focused on disrupting the sports and lifestyle sectors through the acquisition, consolidation and reformation of industry-leading products and services combined with disruptive technology. In its first of several deals, CGrowth Capital (CGRA) has today announced that it has acquired 100% of the California based Savage Barbell Apparel Company. The acquisition of Savage Barbell is the first of many to be completed in the first half of 2023 and is a significant step towards the implementation of CGRA’s roadmap, which involves establishing scalable product and technology offerings that will be integrated across various sports verticals. The company’s medium to long-term vision is to be integral in the entire value chain of the sports sector, right through its entire life cycle from training to media content. This includes but is not limited to pre, intra and post-game technology, equipment, apparel including wearable technology, nutrition, venue technology, pay per view streaming and sports betting. Although CGRA itself is not focused on becoming a retailer, it knows the importance of rapidly increasing its revenue and profitability, with critical mass featuring as an essential element of the business plan, especially within in the first 12 months. CGRA’s first acquisition is strategically significant given that all sports which the company will be involved in consume and require huge volumes of apparel and merchandise. This will allow Savage Barbell to expand its distribution globally and increase its offering into additional sporting lines. Furthermore, CGRA is able to leverage immediate sales and revenue into all the sports it will be involved in. Savage Barbell already sells its products in more than 10 countries. At present, it is specifically focused on the niche market of functional fitness, which includes apparel for cross fit, the world’s fastest growing high intensity sport. The majority of Savage Barbell’s sales are currently within the USA and a realistic target has been set for expansion from 10 to at least 20 countries in 2023. The company will further expand its range into sports where CGRA is expected to announce its involvement in during the remainder of this first quarter, with these sports already followed by tens of millions of participants and several hundred million spectators. Alongside Savage Barbells expansion of its manufacturing and distribution capability, the company expects to increase its sales run rate from $5 million to $20 million by the end of 2024. The acquisition of Savage Barbell was paid for with a combination of restricted common shares and cash to the total of $700,000. The current CEO will remain with the business for 6 months while the Savage Barbell team expands and recruits additional key personnel. CGRA’s soon to be announced experienced new board and management team will play an instrumental role in driving exponential growth of Savage Barbell alongside the businesses that are being added. A link to the Savage Barbell website can be found here: https://savagebarbell.com Sport is a more than $500 billion market which touches almost every person’s life in some way, regardless of race, gender, religion, or geography. However, many traditional sports have seen their followings stagnate, often resulting from their stale or bureaucratic approach which has caused them to lose their spectator value and engagement. CGRA has identified several lucrative opportunities to Disrupt the market in these popular traditional sports that require rejuvenation. CGRA will be announcing its dynamic management team and CEO shortly. This is running slightly behind schedule due to some new employees experiencing restrictions from their previous employers. The announcement is therefore planned for the coming weeks as soon as it is possible, and CGRA’s new website is expected to go live within two weeks. In one of several vital steps that the company is taking towards becoming a global player in the sports and lifestyle markets, CGRA intends to be audited and fully reporting during the first half of 2023. CGRA’s Interim CEO Nicolas Link said “ I’m so excited for the opportunity which lays ahead for CGRA. It’s not often that there is such an enormous opportunity to disrupt such a large addressable market that is so relevant to almost everyone. This large addressable market presents significant interconnected opportunities for all companies which I am involved in, and I believe that this will add tremendous stakeholder value at every level”.

Since Elon Musk’s Takeover, Twitter Has Seen a Rapid Rise in Gen-Z, Neo-Nazi Antisemitism, New Study Shows

Combat Hate Foundation

A study by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) has demonstrated that extremist elements have viewed Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter as an opportunity to rejoin the social media platform en masse. The study also indicates that a sea change is taking place on Twitter with respect to the proliferation of extremist antisemitic content. Much attention has been paid to Kanye “Ye” West’s antisemitic tirade, and indeed NCRI/CAM’s data finds his remarks triggered a significant increase of 136% in toxic comments, threats, and identity attacks in tweets pertaining to Jews on the platform. Furthermore, the data suggests that the influx of extremist activity onto Twitter began far before West’s statements, with an organized effort of extremist communities like the Gen Z, neo-Nazi “Groypers,” led by white supremacist Nick Fuentes. The report finds they acted as a vanguard: anticipating, planning for, and capitalizing on Musk’s acquisition of Twitter to popularize and disseminate hateful content. They did so with the expectation that Musk would provide a more hospitable platform for their brand of extremist content, joining Twitter at a rapid rate. This report comes on the heels of Twitter briefly reinstating Fuentes’s account in late January, the only mainstream social media platform that has allowed his activity. Within hours of being reinstated, Fuentes’ second tweet was a video showcasing “ye24” and “Death Con 3,” a nod to West’s October tweet where he said he was going to go “death con 3 on the Jewish people.” Using machine learning, natural language processing, open-source investigation of social media content, graph and time series analysis, and econometric techniques, NCRI examined how an antisemitic transformation has taken shape on Twitter and how these changes might relate to physical-world, antisemitic incidents. Combining CAM's expertise in identifying emerging antisemitic trends with NCRI's proprietary technology, insights are drawn from vast amounts of data across social media platforms in near-real time to uncover contemporary antisemitism on social media, and its real-life consequences. Neo-Nazi Groyper accounts joined the platform first in response to Musk joining the board of the company, then surged to their highest levels (~2,000% growth) on April 15th, with the announcement of his purchase offer. Notable spikes also accompanied Musk’s formal acquisition of the platform (~1,000%) and the reinstatement on Twitter of former U.S. President Donald Trump. Baseline levels of new Groyper accounts continuing to join the platform have also surged and remained elevated by over 200%, suggesting sustained growth in Gen-Z neo-Nazi Groyper activity on Twitter. “Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter, it has become not only a safe space for hate, especially antisemitism, but also a vector for its spread,” said Sacha Roytman Dratwa, CEO of CAM. “Many white supremacists and other extremists have perceived it as a place where there is permission to incite, and even a single tweet from someone like Nick Fuentes or Ye has to the power to sow seeds of hate for years to come. It is a very real and tangible threat.” Since Twitter accepted Musk’s offer in April, monthly references to tropes about “Soros” and “Globalists,” which are often antisemitic, have nearly doubled. This is of great concern, as the NCRI/CAM now characterizes online antisemitism as an upstream predictor of real-world incidents. In fact, these impacts have emerged in tandem with a surge in real-world antisemitic activity, and the data suggests key antisemitic conspiracy terms on Twitter both correlated with and were useful for forecasting these activities. “There is almost a horseshoe effect mobilizing against the Jewish people, with white supremacists, Black Hebrew Israelites, Islamists, and others working together on the only cause that unites them -- a hatred of Jews,” said Joel Finkelstein, Chief Science Officer and Director at NCRI. One example was from November last year when Christopher Brown (@vrilgod) replied to a heated argument on Twitter about the history of the transatlantic slave trade with the claim “Jews owned the ships.” Later that same day, Brown was arrested at New York City’s Penn Station carrying a “large 8-inch military-style knife, a blade longer than 4 inches, a Swastika arm patch, and a ski mask,” in connection to threats against a synagogue in the city. The tweet was subsequently uncovered, after being deleted, on the NCRI’s platform. Brown -- a white male linked to online neo-Nazi groups -- had used a trope common to the Black Hebrew Israelites. His quip on Twitter and subsequent planned terror attack shows the convergence of different racial hatreds in new, unexpected ways that appear to be growing in popularity and attention, with a rash against Jews taking place in the physical world.

The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) is a global coalition engaging more than 650 partner organizations and two million people from a diverse array of religious, political, and cultural backgrounds in the common mission of fighting the world’s oldest hatred. CAM acts collaboratively to build a better future, free of bigotry, for Jews and all humanity.

FDA Ruling On OTC Hearing Aids Is A Game Changer For InnerScope An "FDA Ruling on OTC Hearing Aids went into effect on October 17, 2022, allowing millions of Americans with hearing loss to purchase hearing aids without a prescription, medical exam, or needing a professional to fit the hearing aids. But until the FDA ruling, getting hearing aids required a medical exam, prescription, and fitting done by an audiologist. In addition, the cost of professionally fitted hearing aids averages over $5,000 out-of-pocket costs for a pair because Medicare or private insurance plans don't typically cover the devices. However, FDA has established that OTC hearing aids are safe and effective for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and are regulated as medical devices by FDA. In addition, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, as many as 30 million adults in the United States currently have some degree of hearing loss and would benefit from using hearing aids. The FDA ruling was a game changer for InnerScope since its iHEAR, and HearingAssist brands of OTC hearing aids have the same type of technology and features as hearing aids sold and fit by hearing healthcare professionals at an average saving of $3,000 to $4,000 per pair. Additionally, InnerScope's iHEAR and HearingAssist OTC hearing aids are designed for consumers with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss with many different models that feature Bluetooth App-Controlled and Full-Streaming for Hands-Free Phone Calling and Listening to Music and/or Podcasts. "We are proud to have our "Hearing Made Easy" ad campaign featured in the Official NFL Super Bowl LVII Commemorative Souvenir Game Program, said Matthew Moore, President and CEO of InnerScope Hearing Technologies. "Forbes has listed the Super Bowl as "the world's most valuable sporting event brand. The Official Super Bowl LVII Game Program is simply the most valuable, content-rich magazine in all sports. In addition, we believe InnerScope's iHEAR and HearingAssist OTC Hearing Aid brands associated with the Super Bowl brand and our "Hearing Made Easy" campaign print ad will provide awareness to millions of people that need hearing aids but, up until now, could never afford them."
