$NMTC | #NeuroOne to Compete with Elon Musk's Neuralink
The Float Is Razor Thin
Chart Is Trending Bullish
Substantial Market Opportunity
Strong And Growing Patent Portfolio
Plans To Uplist
Expected FDA 510(k) Submission For 2nd Product
Majority of NeuroOne’s products expect US FDA 501 process.
Comapny Profile
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation is a developmental stage company committed to providing minimally invasive and hi-definition solutions for EEG recording, brain stimulation and ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, essential tremors and other related neurological disorders that may improve patient outcomes and reduce procedural costs.
Why NeuroOne?
NeuroOne (OTCQB:NMTC) is a next generation electrode technology company specializing in development and commercialization of hi-definition thin film electrodes for the diagnosis and
treatment of various neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease
and chronic pain due to failed back surgery syndrome
First FDA 510(k) clearance for cortical electrode product family December 2019
Potential ability to perform recording, ablation and stimulation with the same electrode
Minimally invasive flexible patented technology leverages printed circuit technology
We expect our technology could reduce manufacturing costs, procedural costs and improve patient outcomes
Mayo Clinic assisted in the development process, successfully used devices in humans as part of a research protocol and currently maintains an ownership position in the Company. WARF (University of Madison-Wisconsin’s Alumni Research Foundation) also assisted in development)
Well positioned electrode technology has strong potential for future use in DBS (deep brain stimulation) spinal cord stimulation and artificial intelligence applications, which may play an important future role in treating patients with more complex neurological issues
Experienced Management Team, Board of Directors and two Advisory Boards with highly acclaimed physicians from prestigious institutions
Strong and growing patent portfolio(MI tool, drug delivery, spinal cord stim )
The Bottom Line
With its low-float and recent announcements, we believe that NMTC is in for a huge day of trading.
The Company is in the midst of a major growth period, and we believe it has the potential to double in price from here.
Having been granted the regulatory green light to begin bringing its product line to market, Neuro-One’s stock is still ranging within its lows (currently at around $2.00 per share). This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the emerging healthcare space is often too specialized a sub-industry for most mainstream investors to monitor let alone understand.
But for the few who can grasp both the relevance and growth potential of Neuro-One’s product line, the company offers early investors an opportunity to get in on a much-needed medical product that, to date, sees neither comparable solutions nor formidable competition.
Traders looking for a company that is committed to growth, and with plenty of upside should add NMTC to the top of their watchlist immediately..By Viewing this Content, you Agree that you Have Read and are in Full Understanding of both our Disclaimer & Privacy Policy(*Remember to use a Stop-Loss Order to protect your gains, as well as limit possible losses.)

SPONF trades publicly in three countries, USA (OTC PINK:SPONF), Canada (SPO. CN ), and Germany (5SO.F)
SPONF has been one of our biggest and most reliable winners this year.
The last time we brought it to your attention it more than doubled in price, running up from $0.015 to a high of $0.035 for single-day gains of over +133%!
Prior to that, it nearly doubled in price, running up from $0.029 to a high of $0.0559 for multi-day gains of up to +92.76%!
A History Of Monster Gains
SPONF has consistently doubled and more than tripled in price this year on Breakout Bounces!
For example, it was trading around $.0279 on Friday May 8th and it then bounced off its low and skyrocketed to a 52 week high of $0.09 on Monday May 11th, locking in 222% gains.
Between April 8th and April 9th . SPONF once again bounced off its low making a quick double for shareholders running from $.029 to a high of $.0559.
Another example was on April 16th, this tiny stock once again bounced off its low of $.0225 and skyrocketed to a high of $0.045 on April 20th, locking in another double.
The Next +100% Move Could Be On The Way
SPONF is currently sitting on a bottomed out chart, and could see the bounce of a lifetime tomorrow.
SPONF appears to be both undervalued and oversold at these levels.
The Company has several bullish catalysts on the horizon, and has recently entered a rapidly growing wellness and beauty market that is set to reach $23.7 billion by 2022!
Last month, the Company made a strategic move that could rapidly increase revenue in the future.
SPONF added the entire staff of Vapor Studio to its newly created Branding Division, to be headed by Vapor's founder, Mr. Ricardo Camargo, who will become the company's, Chief Branding Officer.

It's no surprise why we believe that this could be our next alert to double in price.
That being said, we ask that you add it to the top of your watchlist now, and be ready to trade at 9:30AM EST.

SPONF And Volunteer Botanicals Enter Into Collaboration To Develop Proprietary Brand Of Beauty And Wellness CBG Products

Two weeks ago, SPONF announced that It has entered into a collaboration with Volunteer Botanicals, LLC, a Tennessee-based company focused on delivering fully customized, botanical-based products for product creators and medical practitioners, to create a proprietary new branded line of products for the company.
Volunteer is also the source for the two recently introduced products, namely a line of flavored, chewable tablets delivering a 20mg dose of CBG and a CBG sublingual dissolving tablet that delivers 10mg in a very small 6mm size. These products are marketed under the marketing management agreement with GO Nutraceutical's branded line of "Cannabis 2.0" products.

The company has charged Charles Harbison to oversee this subsidiary. He is a full-time employee of the company and is its Executive in charge of Brand Management. He previously launched his own luxury brand HARBISON, which, since its launch, garnered the attention of the fashion world including iconic public figures, celebrity stylists, power influencers, and editors.

Harbison has also consulted for a range of top brands including Emanuel Ungaro, Michael Kors, Cult Gaia , and Nicholas the Label.

We will build a beauty product assortment that reflects this current sentiment, aligning the health intentions of today's customer with the naturally derived healing nature of CBG and the culturally relevant, globally inclusive branding of today."
Myles Bartholomew, CEO of SponsorsOne, added: "The beauty and wellness markets require a different marketing technique than the CBD markets. We needed someone with an impeccable track record and the specific experience in the beauty and fashion markets to take the lead on our new brand. We were extremely lucky to have Charles overseeing this foray into the beauty and wellness markets. Consumer acceptance of the infusion markets is growing rapidly we are moving expeditiously to build a really great brand during this window of opportunity. We want to be standing there owning a really terrific brand that will generate revenues for the company in this rapidly expanding market and create a very successful brand that could become a target for acquisition, further enhancing our shareholder's ROI ."
SPONF Is Disrupting the Traditional Advertising Model
Sell Direct or Through Retail
No big upfront marketing fees, everyone in the community gets paid when there is a sale. This allows small brands with small budget look national overnight, everyone wins.
Your community of influencers can drive sales to your retailers or direct to your online store, either way everyone involved gets paid.
Customers are influencers
Imagine if you could get rewarded for every tweet, pin, share, and ‘like’ you post about your favorite brands which can be used to purchase more stuff from your favorite brands. The more you engage, the bigger the rewards and cash commissions! Level up to get bigger and better discounts on participating products.
Connect directly with consumers
Consumers now look to influencers to make buying decisions and introduce new brands that share their values. SponsorsOne lets small brands bypass traditional display ads and word search advertising, and connect directly with consumers through entertainment and social media influence. Brands benefit from authentic, word-of-mouth engagement and interactive posts and videos that feature the brand.
BIG data!
Real time data to drive ROI for brands, what's working within social media right now, as it changes from moment to moment, trend by trend. Campaigns can be adjusted in real time after they are launched, intelligence built into each campaign that creates authentic engagement with the campaign and brand, etc.
Multi Channel Distribution
“SponsorsOne is making small brands Big, even faster now by opening up wholesale/retail distribution. This gives Brands access to every major retailer in their country.”
Direct To Consumer
Brands can sell their products direct to consumers using their online eCommerce platform. Shopify is fully integrated into the SponsorCoin platform and allows the brand community members to automatically apply discounts and SponsorCoins at checkout making the purchase process seamless. Brands can create a branded store front to drive their message to the consumer and maintain their unique look and story.
The SponsorCoin platform can connect to the brand’s current eCommerce store or we can build it for the brand through our team at SponsorsOne Media.
The upside is, brands who go direct to consumer take ownership over their most important assets, their customers. Owning the customer relationship provides much more leverage to increase customer lifetime value. Shoppers now have a chance to connect with the brand whenever they want, on their terms
Wholesale
SponsorsOne can build a national wholesale/retail distribution network for our brands. “Making Small Brands Big”, will be done faster by entering this channel alongside direct to consumer.

The three-year Brand Development Agreement includes the build and management of the influencer community, the build, and management of the Shopify platform, which generates 20% of revenue for SPO on every sale. Also, SponsorsOne Media provides creative service, content production, packaging and branding design, web and storefront design on a fee for service basis.
Opportunities for a master distribution agreement are in discussion and are under assessment by SPO, whereby GO's product will be available to wholesale/retail across the USA.

Industry Reports Project Wellness And Beauty Market To Reach $23.7 Billion By 2023
The US Beverage market has shifted towards health and wellness which now represent 41% of the total beverage volume and over 50% of the market value.
The US Beverage industry, excluding alcoholic beverages, consumed over 60 billion gallons of drinks in 2018 generating $188 billion in wholesale revenue. The shifting beverage landscape continues the long-term trend away from sugary and traditional hot beverages towards a healthier beverage choice states BMC Strategic Associates, October 2019.
Technical Analysis
As we mentioned above, the float on SPONF is razor thin.
We did the quick math, and there is only around $1.032M worth of shares available to the public for trading.
Based on our own technical analysis , we see the potential for another big bounce from here.

The Next +100% Move Could Be On The Way
SPONF is currently sitting on a bottomed out chart, and could see the bounce of a lifetime tomorrow.

The Company has several bullish catalysts on the horizon, and has recently entered a rapidly growing wellness and beauty market that is set to reach $23.7 billion by 2022!
Last month, the Company made a strategic move that could rapidly increase revenue in the future.
