Aurora has entered into a deal with the UFC and Canopy acquired sports beverage maker BioSteel Sports Nutrition.

In addition to the inquiries from Canada about PURA’s EVERx reported by management, PURA has a ready partner of its own as an entry into the Canada 2.0 market opportunity. The CEO of PURA, Brian Shibley, is also the CEO of PURA spinoff, Nouveau (USOTC: NOUV) a cannabis cultivator with a licensed operation in Canada. NOUV’s Canadian operation is small today, but still gives PURA access to Canada 2.0 while evaluating other suitors that may give PURA accelerated access to the Canada 2.0 market.

Subsequently, PURA announced a new distribution agreement in Latin America. PURA realized $1 million in revenue last year in 2018 and then reported another $1 million in revenue in just the first six months of 2019. PURA management has set a $4 million revenue target for year-end 2019. 

Multiple surveys indicate consumers are eager to purchase edibles and beverages.
