o Scaling technology business with EIS/VCT funding

 

Dr. Patrick DeSouza, Chairman of Entertainment AI stated, "We are now on our way post-IPO with follow-through momentum in terms of audience growth and ad revenue. We appreciate the confidence that our institutional funding partners have in our board and team as we deploy AI and machine learning technology to expand revenue channels with e-commerce and content sharing opportunities for audiences. With our strong capital base, a rapidly growing GT Channel YouTube audience, an Owned and Operated subscriber base, and two additional strategic partners with global audiences of their own, we have already baked the foundation for a strong close to 2019 and the application of investor resources for an even faster-growing 2020. We have an exciting journey ahead and are confident that we are coming to market at the right time as media, technology and telecoms converge to provide consumers frictionless sharing and e-commerce opportunities from short-form video content."
