Q: More a comment than a question, I just read your answer to a question asked by David. My understanding of Sangoma current cash and debt position is the following : on July 16, 2019, Sangoma closed a short-form bought deal prospectus offering of 14,846,500 common shares, at a price of $1.55 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $23,012,075. As of June 30, 2019, Sangoma had $11,724,000 in cash, therefore, it is fair to say that on July 16 Sangoma had ±$34,700,000 in cash ($23,012,075 + $11,724,000).

Following the acquisition of VoIP Innovations, Sangoma has drawn approximately C$46 million from a credit line provided by BMO and TD. Approximately CDN$22 million will be used to pay off all existing debt and around CDN$24 million to fund this acquisition. Since the acquisition is for US36,000,000 or ±CDN$48,000,000, Sangoma will withdraw CDN$24,000,000 from its cash reserve leaving approximately CDN$10,7000,000 in cash and will be have a debt of CDN$46 million.

Not, the currency, but the technology behind the concept.
Do you have ideas on small/mid cap companies that are involved in blockchain as a business model?
thanks

Q: A friend of mine who works in Venture Capital recently told me about a small tech fund that was being managed by Damien Leonard, Mark Leonard's son. The crazy part - it's the old PineTree Capital, that terrible mutual fund-like investment product that would buy speculative mining companies and ruin shareholder capital. The Leonard family home office (incl. some of Mark's cash) now owns over 30% of the company. Upon doing some research, it looks like the company is trading at a 25% discount to book value although the new tech investments are not disclosed.

What are your thoughts? Would this be an appropriate 1% position (despite low liquidity) knowing that very few people understand investing in software companies like Mark Leonard, Damien's biggest mentor?
