You read my mind.
Market Cap is now even below q1 revenue. Just wow...
What's actually going on here is beyond me... Price SHOULD be x10 where it's now. Why isn't this bugger moving? Why isn't the market adjusting?
No, but I realised this may take some time.
I for one don't give a flying about EXO's pizzafusion franchise.
For me, they might as well get rid of it, and I know a lot of people here share that opinion. Slow-moving industry, resource heavy.
It's exosleeve I for one am interested in – And exosleeve are currently successfully adapting the same Instagram strategies that a lot of ecommerce companies are adapting right now.
thetomhope.com - $0 - $10m in revenue in 1 year by giving people perks if they upload on instagram after making a purchase, currently they have 235k followers. They're selling the same bracelets people can buy on alibaba for $1 for $50. lol.
danielwellington.com -$0 - $200m i revenue in 3 years by giving people who share their watches a free watch.
EXO are adapting the exact same strategies, and I monitor their instagram and the #exosleeve hashtag daily. Currently 10-15 people are sharing EXOsleeve on instagram daily. And if we say that at best 5% actually share EXO after making a purchase and peg the average value of a product at $30, then EXO is on track to make $3m in revenue in 2017.
To be honest. I think they seem pretty serious about growing. Just look up the hashtag #exosleeve on Instagram. Number of users using that hashtag is growing day to day. People LOVE their customer service. Their packaging is really nice. They are truly making an effort.
There's a bigger opportunity for these guys to make more money selling "trinkets" than stock. They're selling stock to extend their runway to grow is my assessment. Not to "spread out on the beach"
Also, their revenue was $196k in q4 alone. Total revenue was $750k I think. My prediction is that they'll do $2-$3m in revenue this year based on how many people use the exosleeve hashtag daily after making a purchase. It's looking very good for EXO.
Still nowhere near where it should be.

EXOL should be on the breakout board very soon.
How can we do that? Redirect some URL from a huge wikipedia article about investing to this board? hehe.. Guerilla style.
Yes, important to note is that over 10-15 people per day are using the #exosleeve hashtag on Instagram.
According to my calculations and experience in online conversion rates, at best 5% are tagging #exosleeve after making a purchase. If we then peg the average value of a product to $30, and then run the calculations, EXO could be on track for $3m in revenue for 2017. Which would be a huge jump from 2016.
Woah. Lots of activity on the board today. GO $EXOL
Don't worry man – Just look look at the instagram shares, look at how their followers are growing, look at the google searches. That's solid proof right there. The stock will reflect that near future.
Yep. This is absolute madness. Looking like a huge idiot right now after selling my GF into EXO as well.
I don't think the 'inner-circle' is dumping. I see solid proof everywhere of EXO's growth. This is the opposite. Low buying pressure > easy to manipulate if you got bad MMs on your side – Someone wants in and is getting it exactly the way they want it. Could be the Deal of the year for these guys if EXO keeps growing like they're growing right now.
I think there are two other options to consider also why EXO are keeping so quiet:
A) Something really bad is up - But growth curves speak against it.
B) They're doing so great and are so confident that they don't feel the need to address their investors.
Never the less.I don't like it. But what the heck. The company is growing like crazy. It's just that the stock is not reflecting it at all.
Remember – You haven't lost a dime until you've sold your shares. Be patient.

I don't know man. I've stopped trying to make any sense of this behavior. I'll just sit tight until there are news from the company.
But the fact that they're not replying bothers me from a moral standpoint.
Nope, nothing. Haven't tried either more than the 1 email which I got no reply on. However, I know the CEO read it because he implemented the changes I criticized him for which is good. I'm not too worried either.
You can follow it yourself here:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/exosleeve/
A very good indicator of the health of EXO. It's picking up from week to week as well, so the company is in fact growing.
There's nothing on the bid to indicate that someone wants to buy-in cheap unless they have a very very patient buy-in strategy given the low volumes. I don't know. Maybe it's just MMs reacting to the lack of news from the company which to me seems kinda probable. I must stress though that right now, Marketcap is below revenue for 2016. So either the company is about to go bust, which I see no indication of anywhere. Everything seems like business as usual. – Or someone wants in at their own price.
On another note – I've spent some time analyzing the Instagram data from people using the #exosleeve hasthag. There are on average 10-15 people daily who use the #exosleeve hashtag after making a purchase. So unless 100% of customers do this after receiving their product, which is highly unlikely. EXO will see $1.5m - $2.5m in revenue for 2017 calculate the average price for a product sold is $30.
In other words, the price won't stay like this for too long. It's a weird phase for EXO right now.
Someone is doing this intentionally.
Very nice!!!!! FINALLY.
Updated intro.
I have not tried calling them - Not worried enough to be frank. I could give it a shot later on today though just to get some clarity on their day-to-day focus.
info@exolifestyle.co
hello@exosleeve.com
are also email addresses in use that I have not tried.
vaughan@exolifestyle.co
I have yet to get a reply. Which is also pretty worrying. Maybe you could try as well and then link my post in the email and say that we're awaiting his reply.
I am somewhat with you – They have a lot they need to improve in their execution and go to market strategy. They need to start tying all knots together - cause it's everywhere atm. I have voiced similar concerns. But hey - they're 1 year into their operations, and they're generating cash, even though what they're doing is not rocket science - Still pretty rare on OTC.
Of course there are risks associated with EXO. But I feel pretty confident they'll be able to come around, but there's a lot of low hanging fruits they're seemingly not paying attention too which annoys me. But it's easy to say from the position of a spectator.
Don't worry too much about it - The price won't stay like this for too long. Else we're going to see a marketcap below annual revenue, which wouldn't make much sense for this stock IMHO. Very very rare for companies in IT and online retail (I don't think I've ever seen it). More common for companies in industries which relies heavily on infrastructure. But sure, could happen to EXOL if there's an immediate threat they're not going to be able to stay in business. But I'm pretty sure that's what's keeping the price down atm. EXOL needs to showcase some degree of stability. I think they're doing a fine job at the moment - Just needs that bit of extra proof that EXOL will be around for at least 5+ years and then this thing is going to run like crazy.
I monitor EXOL's Instagram data daily via the Instagram API, and they're doing a truly fine job there. If they're growing their sales like they are growing their Instagram - They will do $1.5-2m in revenue this year. Of course, it's not a completely linear correlation. But growth in exposure will lead to growth in sales.
No worries, I was just curious.
Welcome onboard
$EXOL up 41% - NEED VOLUME!
Don't forget to check in on EXO's new blog.
It seems they're going to push for a content strategy where their athletes can post content directly on their site.
Seems to be working for sure as they've banked more than 1,500 new instagram followers in less than 2 weeks.
Exciting times for EXOL.

On the OTC it's commonly referred to as 'in trial". That's when businesses try to find market/customer validation.
Non taken.
In regards to actually carry out a Due Diligence I beg to differ. You're the one who invested. My concerns are always with the product being sold - It's previous performance, or if it's a newly developed product – proof of logged performance-data done in beta testing, in focus groups or on a few selected customers who willingly tried it out. This is all industry-standard go-to-market procedures for Tech-startups in 2017.
You should do some reading.
Here's a great place to start:
https://mixpanel.com/
It's not industry standard to promise $100mil in revenue in first things first or say that "customers are raging about the product" I want logged performance data to know if the product even stand a chance against industry benchmarks. And as investors - you should demand it.
Besides that - Everyone on OTC seem to be avid Buffet lovers - Then you should know his first rule.
Don't invest in things you are clueless about.
Rory. Sorry, you don't have to answer my questions. I won't be investing and your stockholders don't want the answers.
On another note;
Discarding my questions to Rory as misconceptions due to flawed DD is truly beneath you all. It shows how desperately you want to stick your head into the sand. Not how desperate you are for tangible answers. Good luck.
Bye.
Hi Rory.
I've been very openly critical about bBooth in my DD on the company which has upset a lot of people. And I'm absolutely 110% certain a lot of your investors on iHub would like to see you send me home with the tail between my legs.
So I'm giving you an option to answer me directly so that everyone can see it.
I'm kindly asking you to refrain from using any uperlatives or meaningless industry buzzwords of sorts. Your investors wants/needs tangible understandable answers.
1. What exactly is bBooth? Explain it to us as if we are 5 years old.
2. How is bBooth any different than let's say YouTube? What makes bBooth more valuable than YouTube? Where's the value-add? For both content producers and consumers of the content.
3. Why aren't people using youtube for the same purposes as they would use bBooth?
4. Why would someone go through the pain of producing a video instead of just sending an email? Would their recruitment rate go up 100% - 200%? - 300%? or comparable measurement index, that would justify a $50m revenue in 9 months or even $1m in 9 months?
5. Have you collected any data during the past months/year from your product regarding the actual efficiency of a "walk out" to justify $50m or even $1m in 9 months? Or is it just a 'qualified guess' that it will be so effective that people will use it regularly? If it's a qualified guess - Why should we believe you? Have you built user-centric products before that have achieved results comparable to the one you've promised your shareholders? ($50m or even $1m). Have you built products which have increased CTR to such an extent that people have been lining up crazy to start using it? I know your success from previous businesses and I am very impressed - But with all due respect, modern technology product focused not only on usability and productivity but delivering results above industry standard is very different from connectivity infrastructure.
I read you've heard about Eric Ries. I'm sure you know the importance of what I'm trying to say here.
I will give bBooth the benefit of doubt when it comes to core tech and design. I'm more concerned when it comes to the general feasibility of bBooth as a concept. Why should anyone use it? So please - Give us a 100% water proof usecase, that should justify $50m or even $1m in 9 months.
Thanks.
Listen to yourself. It's the same time over and over again. bBooth will have EVERYTHING. There's NOTHING bBooth can't do. It's a data collection platform (what data will they connect, from what I understand the data they will collect is strictly related to how many watch the video, click the links and signs up to whatever you're advertising. It has NOTHING to do with actual planning and targeting of an advertising campaign, which is what makes google and facebook unique - The post ad-creation data is something ALL advertising platforms have)
On top of that bBooth is CRM system, Advertising network, Video platform, messaging system.... I could go on.
I'm 100% out now - I am starting to feel pathetic myself raging on about a company I have nothing to do with.
I'm only trying to help.
No one here even knows what bBooth is. I've listened to pretty much all of your arguments. And no one can come up with a single 100% water-proof usecase or scenario that will justify $0-$50m (or even $1m) in 9 months. Noone understands the product. You're all raging on about a revolutionary technology which in fact isn't even a technology. Let alone a revolutionary. This is a fad.
I will stop now.
Trust me when I tell you this.
Ad technology companies use hundreds of data points to determine the location, gender, age, income, interests, preferences, buying/spending habits - everything an advertiser want to know when allocating resources for an ad-campaign. Why? Because to reduce spill and waste of resources. They don't want to show their ad to Agatha aged 74 if they make perfumes targeted at teenagers. It's throwing away money. And in a world of all-time low ad-blockers and all-time low CTRs. Businesses want laser focused targeting options.
If you say that bBooth - will have stats that are even close to that of Google and Facebook. you truly must be dilutional. From what I know, they don't even offer targeting capabilties on the campaigns or even embedded in their technology. And if they wanted to, it wouldn't happen anytime soon as the fewer amount of users you have, the less valuable targeting becomes since there won't be anyone in that particular niché the company wants to target.
So, producing a video is more efficient than making a phone call or sending an email?
Truly sounds like a billion dollar idea.
A spammy pop-up reminding me of fathers day.
Comon guys. If that's the BEST usecase you can come up with. You must have realized by now that this wont be going anywhere.
For a product to be considered valuable - It must increase productivity, quality of life or at least increase something by a ten or a hundred-fold.
Links that are moving with the video?.... Users gonna love that. Cause it's going to be Impossible to click the links. You honestly think that'll give bBooth the above industry standard CTRs to beat the competition? So WalMart will drop $100mil on a campaign on bBooth that performs 90% that of Google AdWords? Facebook? Which have the world's most advanced demographics-targeting algorithms on top of links that are actually clickable?...
...........
I can't do more here.
Thanks.
