QYOU Media CEO and Co-Founder Curt Marvis, commented, "Great teams require a strong offense and defense.  Long term followers of QYOU Media know we have spent much of 2022 rolling out new revenue generating initiatives while also exploring uplisting onto a US exchange and the prospect of a stock consolidation.  It has become clear to us that it simply isn't the right time for these initiatives.  We are thrilled to have our long time strategic investment partners at Clarus step up to help bolster our growth in a smart and sensible manner that reflects the state of the markets today.   We will be poised to jump on opportunities as market conditions improve and to leverage what we have already launched to its highest potential.  While we continue to believe we are significantly undervalued as a business, we also recognize that we need to take a conservative and well measured approach that drives growth, but also allow us to get all business units to cash flow positive operations in 2023. This capital will help ensure that while reaching that goal, we can continue to expand on the massive opportunities we have been establishing over the last two years."
