As we near the end of 2018 (my, my what a year this has been), we would like to provide a brief overview of a few of the exciting partner companies in our portfolio (in no particular order). As you can see, we are industry agnostic so our portfolio ranges from the highest of high-tech to a delicious line of Rum. We have additional companies in our portfolio as well as multiple businesses for sale that we will cover in future newsletters.We are very fortunate and grateful that a boutique firm like NewGate Capital is able to attract such quality deals.
LocatorX plans to disrupt the $27 Billion GPS location services market through their partnership with Oxford University which provides exclusive rights to the University developed Solid-state Miniature Atomic Clock. Once scaled, the patented Global Resource Locator will enable real-time tracking of any asset – both indoors and outdoors – at a low per-unit cost, without the need of installing expensive beacon systems.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid growth, the Global Resource Locator will seamlessly integrate into any device or product to enable accurate and timely location tracking. While the Global Resource Locator is being developed for mass production, LocatorX is creating a suite of products to improve product and tracking information which will commercialize the back-end functionality of the final product and generate near term revenue.
ThreatLocker has developed an application whitelisting solution that allows businesses to control exactly what is running on their systems while giving them complete visibility. The ThreatLocker solution stops users from running unknown applications (i.e. viruses, malware) without explicit permission from the I.T. department. This results in the virtual elimination of malware and cyber breaches. Unlike traditional whitelisting solutions, ThreatLocker is easy to deploy, requires little management, and easy to permit new software when it is needed. ThreatLocker is fully developed and is in the market with customers and revenue.
