SurgePays Inc (SURG)

SurgePays Portal SurgePays Portal is a nationwide e-commerce platform that allows the convenience store owner to order products directly from his computer or cell-phone. The owner can purchase and have delivered any of the traditional products on a curated inventory list formed by Surge Holdings as well as the various Surge-branded fin-tech products, such as SurgePays Visa and SurgePhone Wireless. I think of it as being like a blend of Amazon (AMZN), PayPal (PYPL) and Google (Goog) (GOOGL). But how does SurgePays Portal work its way into each store?

Surge Holdings has a few products and services which I have already discussed. I imagine that Surge Holdings already has strong connections in the wireless ‘top-off’ business since the CEO, Brian Cox, has already built and sold a wireless ‘top-off’ company. These connections may get him access into numerous corner markets for Surge smartphones and wireless plans. Once these products are in the store, the store operator now has the SurgePays Portal. Just as multiple computers connect to form the Internet, each convenience store that sells even one of Surge Holdings' products becomes a valuable link in the Surge distribution chain.

This is the big technology play that has the potential of keeping the company relevant beyond the success and lifespan of a couple of products and services. A single product can be replicated. A service can become a dying trend. If you focus on controlling the supply and distribution network, you can create an Amazon-like network for corner markets.

How will growth be rolled out? The first logical step would be for Brian Cox to leverage his existing contacts. I will place the value of that between 5,000 and 15,000 stores. The 40,000 store target will be discussed under the heading ‘Manufacturers and Strategic Partners’. If Surge can secure additional locations and work their way into an additional 10,000 stores, their network becomes increasingly valuable to big brand manufacturers. Large manufacturers will be eager to make distribution agreements with Surge in order to get nationwide exposure. Getting into those initial 20,000 or so locations is vital in order to gain enough critical mass to attract larger manufacturers.

But why will store owners be so willing and eager to adopt this new technology?
