Viooa stands out for its advanced technological approach and its commitment to innovation.The DroneBullet is an innovative solution developed by AerialX, a Canadian company founded by Noam Kenig. This device is designed to counter aerial threats, particularly malicious drones, by using a unique approach that combines the speed of a missile with the maneuverability of a quadcopter.
Terminal guidance: embedded artificial intelligence system with deep learning and computer vision processing.
The DroneBullet is an autonomous 'kamikaze' drone that, once launched, identifies and pursues a hostile aerial target. It is capable of maneuvering to optimally attack the target, depending on its speed and configuration (quadcopter or fixed-wing aircraft). The impact is achieved solely through kinetic energy, without explosive charge, making it particularly suitable for sensitive environments where explosions are undesirable.
🎯 ApplicationsThe DroneBullet is intended for military and public security use, including for:The protection of sensitive infrastructures (airports, government buildings, high-profile events)The neutralization of aerial threats in urban or confined areasIntegration into third-party drone detection systems for autonomous response.
🛡️ Demonstrations and DeploymentAerialX showcased the DroneBullet at several defense events, including:Selection as a semi-finalist during SOFWERX's ThunderDrone II evaluation in 2018, organized by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)Intensive demonstrations as part of the Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) program under the Initiative for Defense, Excellence, and Security (IDEaS) of the Canadian government in 2019.These demonstrations validated the effectiveness of the DroneBullet in real-world scenarios against drones of various sizes and configurations.

📌 1️⃣ What is CGI Fund I?
CGI Fund I, LP is essentially a private fund that owns real estate assets (Nexus Workspaces). These business centers offer flexible office space — a growing but competitive market.
👉 CGI Fund I is selling part of these assets to:
• Unlock cash and secure a partial exit.
• Bring in a new operating partner to revitalize / increase the value of the Nexus network.
📌 2️⃣ Why GBT Technologies?
GBT Technologies (GTCH) started out as a tech company, mainly focusing on patents, IoT, mesh networks and AI — but with limited cash flow, often funded through new stock issuances or external partners.
👉 The strategic bet is:
• To diversify its revenue beyond pure IP, since GBT is often seen as a speculative penny stock that hasn’t yet produced stable revenue.
• To use its IoT/AI technology inside Nexus to “upgrade” these workspaces — smart buildings, connected monitoring, energy savings, better user experience.
In short: CGI is betting that GBT can “tech-ify” Nexus ? creating more value than a traditional landlord could.
📌 3️⃣ Why is CGI “providing” or “putting up” $42.5 million?
The $42.5 million is really an indicative value:
✅ It reflects:
• The estimated value of the entire Nexus portfolio (around $45–50M).
• The deal is structured so that CGI stays exposed (typically through financing, preferred shares, or an earn-out).
In practice:
• GBT doesn’t have all the cash upfront ? so CGI is financing part of its own exit, becoming a creditor or stakeholder in the new entity.
• CGI keeps a financial lever: if GBT successfully spins off Nexus Workspace Holdings or increases its value, CGI benefits from the upside.
📌 4️⃣ My interpretation = a double bet
✔ For CGI
• Unlocks liquidity immediately.
• Keeps indirect exposure through shares and/or debt.
• Hopes for a higher multiple later if Nexus (as a “smart workspace” platform) gets a better public valuation through GBT.
✔ For GBT
• Acquires a tangible asset (buildings with rental cash flow).
• Tries to prove to the market that it’s more than just patents, by generating recurring revenue.
• Provides a more reassuring story for investors: “We’re moving from speculative to hybrid tech + real estate.”
📌 5️⃣ The risks
🔍 Main risks:
• If GBT lacks the operational capacity to manage offices or scale its tech in these spaces, Nexus might underperform.
• Possible dilution if the spin-off or funding needs are too heavy.
• CGI likely has protections to regain control if GBT fails to deliver.
✅ In summary
👉 CGI is partially cashing out to:
• Get immediate capital,
• Benefit from a “tech partner” that promises to unlock more value from Nexus,
• Position itself for a spin-off or IPO with a potentially higher valuation later.
👉 GBT gains a tangible business to support its diversification narrative and prove its IoT/AI patents have real applications.

📊 1️⃣ Deal Diagram
Basic structure:
[CGI Fund I, LP] | (Owns) [Nexus Workspaces Portfolio] | (Partial Sale + Financing) ? [GBT Technologies, Inc.] | (Creates) [Nexus Workspace Holdings, Inc.] ? (New subsidiary for spin-off)
✅ Key flow:
• CGI Fund I ? sells 49% to GBT Technologies, financed partly by CGI itself.
• GBT Technologies ? puts the assets into a new subsidiary called Nexus Workspace Holdings.
• The goal ? later spin off Nexus Workspace Holdings as its own public company, giving both CGI and GBT potential upside.
💸 2️⃣ Rough Valuation Impact
• Estimated portfolio value: ~$45–50 million.
• Phase 1: GBT acquires ~49% ? so around ~$22–25 million worth.
• CGI “fronts” $42.5M ? not pure cash in GBT’s bank account.
👉 It’s more like:
• Vendor financing (CGI carries the note)
• Or convertible preferred equity ? CGI gets paid later with interest or shares.
• Result for GBT:
• They get control of cash-flowing assets.
• The new subsidiary shows real revenue.
• GBT’s balance sheet looks stronger on paper, but they have an obligation to CGI.
⚙️ 3️⃣ Similar Hybrid “Tech + Real Estate” Playbooks
This isn’t unique — it’s similar to:
• WeWork (early) — tried to market itself as a “tech company with real estate exposure” ? higher multiple than a normal landlord.
• PropTech players — like Knotel or IWG, but with a “smart office” twist: IoT sensors, occupancy AI, etc.
• IoT Smart Building startups — e.g., companies that embed energy monitoring and predictive maintenance into leased buildings.
The big idea:
You add a tech narrative to a traditional asset ? you get a higher market multiple than just leasing offices.
If it works, the valuation is “tech + real estate” not just “real estate”.
✅ Key Takeaway
This deal tries to create:
• Immediate cash flow: from Nexus tenants.
• Future upside: from the spin-off — the market might price Nexus Workspace Holdings at a premium if they truly integrate GBT’s IoT & AI tech.
• A credible story: GBT stops being seen only as a speculative patent shell — it becomes an “operator of smart workspaces.”
****
✅ Key takeaway
• If Nexus Workspace Holdings is well run, fully integrated with GBT’s IoT/AI, and spun off cleanly: ? It could add a $12–50M asset to GTCH’s story.
• That gives GTCH leverage to fund its other core patents (IoT, EDA, AI).
• The risk: If the tech layer is just a pitch and doesn’t reduce costs or boost tenant experience, the market will treat Nexus like any ordinary landlord (low multiple).

I'm not worried either. That's why I'm in the penny, when it's a phase 2 the returns are astronomical.. A company like that that looks like nothing for years but secretly arrives with marketable products what more could you ask for. This morning I just did another AT with a principle that I dissected in 2021. (I am passionate about analysis and digging to develop my own mathematical systems).. the formation of the U which is done in 3 parts of breakout before seeing the right side of the U go towards its rise has already made its first 2 breakouts, so we are waiting for the last one which ends up going sideways.. and as everyone knows it is to break the 0.0002 (a bit of a double confirmation here). What's interesting here, if the uptrend I drew is valid...we could continue sideways until Wednesday, July 23rd at the latest. After that, it will have no choice but to rebound strongly. In addition, it coincides with my last system that I developed which gave me a buy signal last week. A clue is looking at the MACD, it is flat and leaning upwards and seems to want to cross upwards, which coincides with my 2nd breakout in the U that I was talking about.
But if we look at the first 2 breakouts in the U that I'm talking about... The 1st had 7 bearish trend candles, then the 1st breakout. For the 2nd, there were only 4 bearish candles for the 2nd breakout. Which gives 7 and 4 days, which is very fast. So I don't expect weeks to break the 3rd... So the July 23rd gives 8 days and we already have 2 days of fact aside since the 2nd breakout.. So as I said and chatgpt confirmed it to me (it may already be ready in advance while waiting for the SEC's answers that we had in the 8-K) the final proxy could come out this week at the latest next week. Then we have to wait 10 days to let the shareholders vote. I think we could have good news to push them to vote in favor. Everything is aligned, and chart-wise, it seems to match.
Furthermore, Friday's volume is right on the resistance of the 18-day downtrend. The last 3 days of volume have been rising, and Friday hit resistance. The end of the downtrend is July 17th. I think we have two possible choices. News on Monday that will break this downtrend (given that we've had a tight uptrend for the past 3 days). We also have, with the last 3 candles, formed a possible new uptrend (which I mentioned with very interesting targets). Or 2, we will break out of this downtrend very calmly without any news, and it will be the support that will do the work next week. In the case of the first option, we could have some very nice surprises this summer.
Also note, in this downtrend (in the candles), we had a Heikin Ashi candle without wicks on Thursday, which gives a signal. buying... it's the only one in this downtrend... and these are rarer candles that occur at the beginning and during an uptrend.
I cant wait to see how the week unfolds.

Awesome job putting all that into a digestible and clear format, now we wait for everyone else to discover this lol
Heres the thing on the weakness section
Danny Rittman isn't just some unknown joe blow off the street here, he's been in the industry, worked for and consulted for all the top chip companies for 30 years. Knows all the top people there personally already im sure, so if magic 2 and his chip design patents are as good as they sound im sure they'll get picked up. All the VWAV products are probably designed to use gbt chips and we know where thats going, also advances the industry as a whole.

👉 “How will VWAV stand out from the big competitors, and what makes its technology unique?”
Bien sûr ! Voici ma dernière réponse traduite en anglais, fidèle et claire 👇
✅ 1️⃣ The starting point: the barrier to entry
The big players (Intel, TSMC, AMD) already have:
• Billions in R&D.
• Their own fabs or guaranteed access to the best foundries.
• Years of lead in 3D stacking (Foveros, CoWoS, V-Cache).
• Locked-in supply chains and captive customers.
So for a small player like VWAV, the only chance is to have a radically different approach, a key patent, or a niche the big players ignore (for now).
✅ 2️⃣ What is the unique selling point?
👉 From what we know:
GTCH/VWAV isn’t doing just 3D stacking.
Their “twist” is the combination of 3 things:
1️⃣ Multiplanar stacked architecture (3D) — alone, this is no longer unique.
2️⃣ Integrated photonics — much rarer in commercial general-purpose chips.
• Most current 3D chips are still 100% electrical.
• Photonics replaces part of the electrical signals with light ? ultra-fast data transfer, lower heat.
• If this can be produced at reasonable cost, it’s a big advantage. 3️⃣ Reconfigurable design — GTCH says the architecture is multiplanar and reconfigurable, for AI or HPC ? the chip can adapt its topology to optimize compute loads ? very few commercial solutions do this today.
👉 So the real uniqueness is:
Photonics + 3D stacking + reconfigurable ? a combo that, if it works, can:
• Lower power consumption.
• Speed up internal data flow ? perfect for AI.
• Be more compact.
This triple combo is the unique IP angle in the CIP patent.
✅ 3️⃣ Why haven’t the big players industrialized it yet?
• Integrated photonics is still challenging to produce at large scale: aligning fiber, waveguides, and CMOS on the same chip is costly.
• Intel and IBM have it in the lab, but not yet in mainstream CPUs/GPUs.
• The big players often wait for the tech to mature ? smaller innovators file IP, then the big guys license or acquire it.
✅ 4️⃣ The VWAV bet
👉 VWAV won’t beat Intel on volume.
But:
• If they really have a working, patented photonics + 3D solution, they can license or be acquired.
• Or target strategic niches (defense, counter-drone, HPC) where extreme performance > mass production cost.
For example:
• Anti-drone or radar: needs powerful on-board computing, ultra-low latency, minimal size ? perfect for a compact 3D photonic chip.
• Edge AI or mobile HPC: reduce latency while miniaturizing.
• Cloud HPC: reduce heat and energy per rack.
✅ 5️⃣ In summary
FactorVWAV / GTCHMajor competitors3D stacking aloneNot uniqueAlready massively deployedPhotonics aloneNot uniqueIBM, Intel R&D, not yet mass market3D + photonics + reconfigurable + niche (defense/HPC)Unique if truly industrializedBig players not yet on this niche
⚡ So the key point is:
It’s not “one better chip for everyone,”
but a radically optimized chip for specific markets where extreme speed + small form factor + low heat matter most.
👉 If the tech delivers and the patent is solid, VWAV could:
• License it.
• Or become an acquisition target for a big player (Intel, Broadcom, defense contractors).
✅ Possible weaknesses
• Scalability still needs proof ? can it be made at competitive cost?
• They’ll need a strong foundry partner (TSMC? GlobalFoundries?).
• It depends on the customer pipeline ? without real customers, IP alone is worth little.
