RTG Ventures in Talks With Strategic Merger Partners to Augment Social Media Offering
NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In a Letter to Shareholders last year, RTG Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: RTGV) cited that it was one of the few digital technology companies in the micro-cap public market. The reference was intended to be positive and to encourage value based investors to acknowledge the opportunity to buy shares, hold and to grow with the Company.
Experience has now suggested that most digital technology companies are private for very good strategic reasons. These private companies attract huge valuations on a concept and are given the time to develop the product, including everything from minor revisions to wholesale changes. That process is called "pivoting", an accepted practice of making certain the product is market ready. Private companies receive cash injection from venture capital intended to fund the lifecycle of the technology development. Compare this to small tranches of cash infusion subject to the vicissitudes of the trading implicit in the micro-cap markets. The timeframe is too short to affect the kind of sustainable progress required when building a sustainable Company. Then there is the pressure required to produce 'news' which is then used to churn and take any short-term profit available. These dynamics make for an erratic, not a stable environment.
That is the environment in which RTG finds itself. As a part of the strategic re-alignment undertaken by the Board in the Fall, the identification of a US-private Company which was much further along in its development cycle and would benefit from a public presence to reach the next stage of growth was identified as a corporate objective. In November Reggie James and Linda Perry had preliminary discussions with several companies who meet the criteria and were interested in a joint venture with a public company in the social media space which could evolve into a merger of like-minded entities. This bodes well as the digital technology industry is US-centric with global reach, often based in the San Francisco/Bay Area during initial technology development stage and then Los Angeles in the case of media and entertainment operating companies' evolution.
RTG has spent the last year nurturing relationships in this sector and by pivoting we have a product in development which people are excited about, and more importantly, that they understand and believe could have immediate positive impact on a client's revenues. The Company is seeing long term financing in order to affect the full benefit of Pulse Station and its positioning in the marketplace. An alliance with a US firm will provide that leverage. There is a Board Meeting in London on Thursday with plans to travel to Los Angeles and New York in February to continue developing these prospects. All parties are under NDAs and are seriously considering a joint relationship which will make our product stronger together in the social media industry. In addition, RTG intends to participate in the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) conference as a presenter to broaden the reach and to get RTG's word out. http://www.nibanet.org

I don't want shares not fair to the shareholders at this time. I want my shares to recover the company to succeed then I want a bonus lol
I don't lol and I won't take more because things are not doing well. If things do recover then I will complain
Sorry BFJ I did not realize I included you as it was not my intention at all. They refers to current management which you are clearly not a part of
best regards
Ok last from me No one is deleting your private messages as Ihub could only do that and surely they wouldn't. Your public posts that were deleted were done by the Ihub administration. I have no trouble with you talking to anyone as its your right. Everyone including myself can make our own determinations. both sides need to be presented that's all. Carry on privately if you wish as this forum will not continue to support this dialogue
Good you gave your side and they gave their side of the story which all investors can see. That was the point. Since you have become very vocal to shareholders publicly and privately lately about what transpired in the past both points of view needed to be voiced so there will be no apology from me. If anyone cares to dig to find the truth it appears there is enough info now from both sides to do so. I make no assertion either way
You know I respect your opinions and listen to you as I do all my fellow shareholders. While we are not completely on the same page at this time I bet we will be at some point one way or the other
Your welcome. I know you and your family are still likely the largest shareholders collectively in the company. I hope my efforts can help. I realize the great opportunity for new buyers but I want to see the longs recapture their value the most.

RTG Ventures & Aderra Announce Joint Venture on Fan App
Aderra did a joint PR and the CEO blogged on the relationship
NEW YORK , Jan. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Last February, RTG Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB:RTGV.PK - News) and Aderra Media Technologies announced a partnership to exploit concert digital technology for the benefit of the artists who would retain control of their content. The relationship has now identified another dimension, for the two companies to pursue, that of a joint venture for the specific purpose of developing a fan application (app) which will leverage the global diversity to the fan base. A Letter of Intent has been agreed upon by both parties.
The announcement sees the fruition of a series of long awaited concepts that will be shaped to combine leading edge technology that address the needs of fans, artists and management alike. The app will encompass gig-goers, social location services as well as unique content and engagement that are potentially habit-changing for music fans.
Describing the genesis of the JV, Aderra CEO, Ed Donnelly commented: "Having met with RTG Ventures in Los Angeles in November we were impressed by the technology that RTG Ventures digital and development agency, Digital Clarity were developing. It was then that we explored using some elements of their technology platform to encompass in an app."
Steve Baughman , who is spearheading the app's development, said, "Capturing that chemistry between an artist and his or her fan base is indescribable. There is a real desire of fans for a full experience which creatively goes beyond the music. When done right, the app will capture the essence of the artist and link it to the audience in whatever form it takes and it crosses geography, demographics and expectations to meld the experience. To combine Aderra's rich history in music, now combined with a technology development and marketing partner in RTG/Digital Clarity, we are all looking forward to 2012."
Reggie James , Digital Clarity MD and SVP of Marketing & Communications at RTG Ventures said, "The ability to work closely with Aderra and have access to their wide range of diverse and major artists including; Metallica, Zac Brown Band , Smashing Pumpkins, Mark Ronson , and Deadmau5. The JV marks a major step forward in the growth plans for RTG Ventures with the ability to scale the business and avail these artists to the other major business focused technology platform being built in addition to the app."

I certainly can't dispute your thoughts. I believe the company had every intention of buying back shares even if with borrowed money. At the time they I think they believed they were going much higher and it would be a good investment. Fact is nothing worked out so the buy back was a complete failure
I took the time to direct this to the company for you and received a response
"Companies must file intent to do a share buyback and can do so within a year. An announcement does not require them to do so, it merely signals intent. In April RTG spoke of share buyback, then engaged in an Awareness Program culminated in a product launch and long term financing."
"The realignment by the Board undertaken post-Sept. That changed short term strategy, product dvlp comes in-house, Dom out, etc etc. That is pivoting, that is classic HBS resilence."
The share buyback was announced last March if I recall correctly
I have seen stocks with over a billion go a great deal further than a penny but certainly seen those that just made it that far too. I don't understand giving up when you still own shares. This company has a revenue producing subsidiary that has taken no investment from RTG. It is a fully reporting and has growth potential. It is a very viable candidate for a merger candidate as the company outlined. I am far from giving up on my shares. Its debt has to be very low now as well Know doubt in my mind it is undervalued but that is not good enough. A great deal of ground has to be made up and I believe that potential is still quite alive. Why wouldn't I? I have seen so many move up that far and further with significantly more shares.
I like the fact they are focusing on a private company versus public company to execute a merger with
"the identification of a US-private Company which was much further along in its development cycle and would benefit from a public presence to reach the next stage of growth was identified as a corporate objective. In November Reggie James and Linda Perry had preliminary discussions with several companies who meet the criteria and were interested in a joint venture with a public company in the social media space which could evolve into a merger of like-minded entities."
RTGV also announced they will attend a big investment conference

If one wants to find a positive the debt of the company has been significantly decreased to a rather low number. Should have happened at much higher prices as we all know.

Thanks that would be much appreciated
Let me get this straight. You want to wipe out a subsidiary in DC that is self sustaining revenue producing, closing in on potential clients with billboard artists, and clearly has strong potential in Digital media a rising hot sector. IMO the majority of shareholders like DC and want to keep them. My understanding in reading filings is DC has not taken any money from RTG. This is a subsidiary that should be supported by shareholders to help them grow. I think for the first time Lindas commections truly like what they see as evident by the joint Aderra PR. The company has been cleaning house I want to see what the next few months bring. I am a large shareholder and want my value to return as much as the next guy. Just my personal opinion at this place in time.
My understandig is a beta testing with partners is expected. I think Reggie was clear in order to get it live he needs funding

Armed with this knowledge and experience, Steve B. went off on his own in 2000 as an independent recording engineer.
Working for Death Row Records, Interscope Records, Sony Records, Capitol Records and many others, he was able to form relationships with some of the biggest moguls in the music business, including but not limited to, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Iovine, and 50 Cent. Since then, Steve B. has worked on innumerable platinum records like Eminem’s 2002 “Eminem Show”, which was nominated for multiple Grammy’s and won in the category of Best Rap Album. In 2004, Baughman opened his own personal recording studio, servicing multi-platinum artists and up-and-coming talent.
As a writer/producer/mixer/engineer, he has been able to provide these clients with a complete start to finish album experience. Due to this success, in 2007, Baughman was hired by multi-billionaire Dr. Henry Nicholas to help form a new record label. As a staff A&R/producer/mixer, he was responsible for handling existing talent and bringing new talent into the system. Steve B continues his musical entrepreneurial drive and now has a new production/management imprint that includes country artist, Megan Moreaux. In addition he continues to mix and produce the biggest names in the music business.
I can't speak of years as I was only a shareholder for 1 year as this new company came to being. Reggie has been here 1.5 years and just recently in control. It is not uncommon to have a business change directions in its first couple of years with many failures.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/18/business/for-some-internet-start-ups-a-failure-is-just-the-beginning.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
Still no excuse and don't want it to sound that way. People here certainly have a right and cause to vent but the more of that can only hinder potential progress. Let's see what they do over the next few months as I personally will re evaluate my stock position and support position/efforts to help at that time. I am no stranger to start ups as I have started a few myself and in the process of helping to start an exciting new company for my son in the entertainment business. I understand needing time to execute as I feel reggie deserves his chance. He has had little time so far considering the mess he was left things he did not create. DC has not taken a penny from RTG. I believe the verdict on RTG has yet to be determined that is why I am staying on with support and still optimistic this can be turned around and my share value recover. I am hopfull longs can still recover and very envious yet happy for the new shareholders getting such a discounted opportunity here. I am well aware of the risks as penny stocks are the most risky plays around. I am very upset with the last year and all its failings. I also demand change and execution now. I appreciate your opinions and understand your anger

Entrepreneurs are finding that many investors will keep the money flowing even when an unsuccessful start-up decides to take an entirely new direction.

There is nothing new to pennies having convertible notes and conversion of those notes taking place from time to time. When a penny stock company knows a note is being converted they run promo's and hire promotion companies to keep stability in their stock while the note holder sells. This is what keeps the many promoters in business. This usually means pump and dump but does not have to be that way. If you have real news, solid looking forward thinking nothing wrong with hiring people to spread it even if your facilitating some selling. If a company does this to sell shares for themselves that is an entirely different story IMO. Keeping in mind most of those who fund in this arena don't get wrapped up into how the company is doing. They loan money and when money is not paid back they sell shares its that simple.It is very difficult getting funding in this arena
This company under Reggie was focused on turning over a new leaf for RTG. He wanted to start a process of restoring credibility to the company after all the failings of the prior year. The company clearly got stuck with very little news as they restructured. At the worst time on the heels of a note due. Running a promo just to help conversions created a double edged sword so to speak. They would have been labeled a pump and a dump and press releasing fluff. However not hiring promoters and not being able to supply solid news stories left the share price vulnerable to a massive decline as a note became due. They could have made up some news from forward looking thinking and I think many do in this situation but that was not an option they chose when trying to restore lost credibility.
We see what has happened. They elected to put out blogs which were not really news worthy stories however contained valuable info for the shareholders. They had one PR which was strong because Aderra pr'd it as well. Put it all together not likely enough to run a promotion without looking very bad and having to stretch things. What was done was not enough to bring in the kind of buying to curb the relentless selling from the note
I hope they can get this note under control with new funding or restructuring before it does much more damage. That would be the first big step in mending things. It would give the company time to execute the kind of deals it needs. I still believe with Linda's connections and Reggie's ability they give us an best opportunity to recover.
The above is just some thoughts from my experience and what I witnessed here. It certainly by no means is to take responsibility for this away from management. The entire BOD has to take responsibility for what has transpired past and present. They have time to step up and fix this but not a great deal of time. Its time to execute and do whatever is in their means to help fix this situation for the long term shareholders that provided years of support. . We need action now. Their SS took a hit but still remains very good. It has to be protected from much further damage.
I agree I think we best stay away from the xanax though.
Thanks for all the informative posts today. Digital media companies have some very impressive valuations because of the potential. DC just needs to execute
Not so sure about that. Digital media companies in this space have lofty valuations. I always believed this could be a 20m dollar company quickly with the right developments. Perhaps as things sit now this moment your valuation is more accurate.
Welcome as a mod best of luck

About
The Pussycat Dolls, Usher, 50 Cent, Destiny’s Child, Pink and Snoop Dogg are just a handful of the top-selling artists that Grammy Award-winner Steven “Steve B” Baughman has worked with.
A California native, Steve B. graduated from California State University, Chico in 1995 with a BA in Music, Recording Arts. He then made his way to the heart of the music industry, Los Angeles. Starting his career at the prestigious Larrabee Studios, Steve B., worked with a wide variety of artists, producers, writers and music executives over a five-year period. This opportunity, straight out of college, allowed him to learn the music business from the bottom up. Armed with this knowledge and experience, Steve B. went off on his own in 2000 as an independent recording engineer.
Working for Death Row Records, Interscope Records, Sony Records, Capitol Records and many others, he was able to form relationships with some of the biggest moguls in the music business, including but not limited to, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Jimmy Iovine, and 50 Cent. Since then, Steve B. has worked on innumerable platinum records like Eminem’s 2002 “Eminem Show”, which was nominated for multiple Grammy’s and won in the category of Best Rap Album. In 2004, Baughman opened his own personal recording studio, servicing multi-platinum artists and up-and-coming talent.
As a writer/producer/mixer/engineer, he has been able to provide these clients with a complete start to finish album experience. Due to this success, in 2007, Baughman was hired by multi-billionaire Dr. Henry Nicholas to help form a new record label. As a staff A&R/producer/mixer, he was responsible for handling existing talent and bringing new talent into the system. Steve B continues his musical entrepreneurial drive and now has a new production/management imprint that includes country artist, Megan Moreaux. In addition he continues to mix and produce the biggest names in the music business.
