well here is a good post from Nestegg McMuffin on the other board
$VRUS 2-YEAR TIME LINE (June 16 edition)
Here’s a recap of how Verus has transformed itself from into one of the fastest growing companies on the OTC.
Jan 2017
Anshu Bhatnagar takes over as CEO of Rbiz.
Begins transforming moribund real estate company into global food distributor, building on his success at American Agro Group.
Hires MKR and Mark Forney as IR, who took eGain to Nasdaq.
December 2017
Ashu settles year-long legal fight with old Rbiz management so new incarnation can run free.
(No mean feat.)
Monaker chief Don Monaco personally backs Anshu. “I believe in Verus Foods’ business model and want to help the company begin its growth phase.”
July 2018
FINRA approves Rbiz spin-off into Nestbuilder.
Vrus revenue for first half of 2018 is $2.24 million, a 102% increase over first half of 2017.
Anshu’s global contacts in food biz paying off already.
August 2018
Verus name change. Not quite the lift-off some predicted, but longs sit tight as Investors Presentation is released.

Sept 2018
Company posts a 77% increase in sales for the first nine months of 2018
Winter 2018
IR Mark Forney manages expectations as company enters self-announced quiet period …
Shares go as low as .0019. Smart longs buy all they can. Bitter bashers with no patience not so much.
Feb 2019
Vrus gets $1.45 million in funding from Cronos whale Andrew Garnock, which retires toxic notes from four creditors
Monaker and Don Monaco and Rick Berdon all stay invested (you bet they did).
The Garnock Factor
Garnock’s unveiling as angel investor is the game-changer. He bought his first shares in the Rbiz days of Vrus. He was the one who reached out to the company, not the other way round. He is exactly the kind of “special investor” turnaround growth plays like Vrus dream of. A former head trader on Wall Street (his former partners now run Cronos), he stuck with Vrus through it's lean period, so no weak hands here.
His arrival sets off speculation that he could merge a couple of his other ventures into Vrus, such as Reset Bioscience (a nano CBD play, https://resetbioscience.com/team/ or Disruption Labs https://www.disruption-labs.com/ ).
Company announces $10 million honey deal announced for Europe and Middle East
Verus to offer 20-30 different SKUs.
March 2019
$4 million rice deal annually for Dubai market.
Anshu: “This is exactly the kind of contract that we believe we can replicate many times over.”
Vrus announces annual sales of $5.8 million for fiscal 2018, 101% increase over 2017.
Quarterly sales set to grow in excess of 100% year over year and “accelerate significantly” throughout 2019.
Revenue hits all-time high of $2.4 million in Q1/19, 145% increase from prev. year’s Q1.
Largest funded backlog in Company history – $24 million for delivery over the next 12 months.
Six months earlier Anshu had said he expected Vrus to reach $20M in orders.
Share price hits new high of .018. 1000% increase from last year.
April 2019
Monaker on its conference call says its staying invested in Vrus: The company is "doing well" and they expect to “recover several millions of dollars”.
Easter 2019
Anshu tweets about “new beginnings” for Spring, and lo and behold --
April 26, 2019
Announces first M&A deal with Big League Foods to sell Major League Baseball-branded frozen dessert products and confections in 2500 stores.
The license covers all 30 MLB teams, which means 30 different brands with a loyal fan base. It's turnkey op that will generate revenue very quickly.
May 2019
Company goes on a tear:
* Secures $600k in funding for baseball gelato production from GS Capital on impressively favorable terms.
Big League President James Wheeler joins Maryland operation to run ice-cream subsidiary. Already busy with Anshu setting up production. (Moving fast, folks.)
First footprint into the US market. Humungo.
* New designs for MLB ice cream unveiled — and plans for MLB candy.
* Distribution announced for 2500 stores in first four towns with MLB teams, including 7-11s, BP, Chevron, Shell, etc. This can expand to 26 more teams obviously.
Production underway for MLB ice cream to hit shelves in the summer.
* Uplist to OTCQB submitted after share price stays above .01 for a month.
(This is another massive step forward. OTCQB is much more stable market.)
* Andrew Garnock adds $500k to his investment by buying 41m shares at market (sic!). What a statement of commitment.
He similarly added to his investment in Cronos and two years later had made $68m.
June 2019
Award-winning CPA Chris Cutchens appointed fulltime CFO. “Anshu’s entrepreneurial spirt and the potential size of this opportunity were both very appealing. I am excited to be part of a true growth story at such an early stage.” (You and me both, pal.)
Deal is modest salary but he gets shares vesting over three years. Price jumps 25% the day after this news.
S-1 form filed confirming Andrew Garnocks’ involvement as “lead investor”. He and his company ARJ Consulting, LLC now own 24.2%, with warrant to add 500mil more and put another $1.25m into the company.
CEO Anshu Bhatnagar said: “We look on our business as a multi-year growth story, so this latest investment shows Andrew Garnock’s commitment to that vision.”
Also confirms Monaker Group increased their share count from 10m to 152m.
Berdon Ventures also increase their share count by 10%, so Institutional Investors and insiders now own approx. 40% of the stock. A huge statement of confidence in the company.
Share price hits new high of .0276.
Every Clay Trader comes out as bullish. Wonders will never cease.
Saturday, June 15, 2019
Company tweets Q2 will drop Monday morning (mid-June as promise)…
Still to come —
1) New Investors Deck being finalized
2) Uplist to OTCQB confirmed
3) News on some of the 8 M&As being negotiated.
4) First MLB ice cream tub and candy rolling of production line… *
Best,
Nest
* First Vrus shareholder to post a selfie with MLB tub wins a stock trading motif ascot from me.
