Team Mariposa,

Thank you for your ongoing patience as we continue to develop and improve PAMAP.

• Agilent Technologies Bluetooth update to our device is completed - we have tested it in both indoor and outdoor settings. We are arranging to send our remaining devices across the pond for Agilent to complete the update on all of our units.
• We have hired an intern to support Dr. Guenther in his ongoing work - our intern is a recent graduate of Cornell University, and collaborated with us throughout our nitrogen deficiency trials with the university.
• Earlier this year, we were able to secure a local angel investor who has agreed to fund us up to a $1mm investment in the company.
• We have begun early stage development of a high-THC database.
• Finally, our research paper with Cornell University has been signed, sealed and delivered! We expect to see publication this Fall.

Thank you all again for your support while we work to revolutionize cannabis testing.

Team Mariposa,

Our long-awaited hardware updates have been completed by Agilent Technologies, and a BETA unit with Bluetooth integration has finally been delivered to us. We continue to pursue our two patents, with updates from the Patent Office expected in the coming months. Finally, we are just weeks away from the first draft of our scientific paper with Cornell University on our successful nitrogen studies. Through all of this, Dr. Guenther and our team have continued developing our database and fine-tuning our algorithms and protocols.

• Mickal, John and Mike.

Hello Team Mariposa! We have just received confirmation from Agilent Technologies that our long-awaited software update is complete, and they will be shipping us the first prototype THIS WEEK. Once we confirm the new protocols are syncing up with PAMAP, we plan to begin trials with our farming partners. Stay tuned!

This year has been filled with big milestones for Mariposa Technology, and we want to thank all of you for your support. The new year looks bright for us, we expect to have our requested device OS software update completed by Agilent Technologies by the end of January (only 9 months overdue). We are also planning to bring on additional team members to gear up for our launch. We have been working diligently for over two years, and we could not be more excited about 2024 being the most successful year to date for Mariposa Technology. We wish all of our investors and partners a healthy, happy and blessed new year. Again, THANK YOU all for your support and for believing in our vision of a cleaner, greener and more efficient future for cannabis testing.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We wish you all a safe, healthy and happy new year!

We are pleased to announce that we have reached 125 individual investors and surpassed $250K in commitments! We’re excited to see momentum building for 2022! We wish you all a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

Mariposa Technology would like to share some exciting announcements:

1. Our R&D continues to move forward with ongoing farm visits and field scans. We’re happy to announce that it is becoming more and more apparent that our scans and algorithms can identify the molecular differences between immature male and female hemp plants. Currently, when hemp plants hit maturity, the industry spends heavily on manual labor in searching their fields for rogue males, where just one male plant can pollinate hundreds of acres, filling the female flowers with seeds causing major complications for growers. Delivering the unprecedented ability to identify and eliminate this expensive and time consuming process is now in focus for Mariposa Technology. Our co-founders are traveling to Colorado this coming week for further R&D on this potentially revolutionary new discovery, and to open formal discussions with potential new partners.

2. The Louisiana Angel Investor Tax Credits reserved by Mariposa Technology, for accredited investors, are still available into the first quarter of 2022. The 35% credits can be re-sold and are useable starting on taxes due for 2023. Please contact us for more information on these valuable credits.

3. We are developing an Investor Board of Advisors. We look forward to announcing the impressive list of professionals who have agreed to join us, not only as advisors, but as investors as well. If you would like more information about potentially joining this advisory board, please apply on our LinkedIn page.

With these events in mind, Team Mariposa has decided to extend our Netcapital campaign.

We are pleased to announce the latest round of results from our testing trials with Kurouski Laboratory and Texas A&M AgriLife. Dzmitry Kurouski, head of Kurouski Laboratory, reports that “so far, after analyzing 907 Raman spectra, our models enable over 90% accurate differentiation between hemp and marijuana,” which is a vital accomplishment in our mission to provide accurate, in-field hemp testing on par with laboratory testing. Our Chief Science Officer, Dr. James Guenther, added that “this endeavor represents an innovative mix of classic Raman spectroscopy principles and novel technologies in laser scanning, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning. The outcome of this research has the potential to truly enhance our understanding of multiple fields in biology and physics.” Our team is working hard to continually deliver more promising results throughout 2022!

Team Mariposa Technology wishes each of you a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving Holiday! To our new investors, we welcome you to the family and look forward to sharing many future joyous occasions with you!

News of a great initial hemp crop report from South Dakota, one of the last states to legalize hemp, is exciting for everyone involved in hemp. The farmers who planted smaller fields as a first-time experiment report that they expect to plant roughly 10X as many acres next year! A big win for the industry at large.

After sparking interest among school scientists and faculty at last week’s Louisiana State University Hemp Field Day, Mariposa Technology was invited to present our technology, with a follow-up Q+A, to the Louisiana State University AgCenter’s Industrial Hemp Working Group yesterday afternoon. Our Chief Science Officer, Dr. James Guenther, succesfully presented our vision to over a dozen members of the LSU IHWG, and further discussions around collaboration are expected to take place soon. LSU’s AgCenter is the primary hemp and cannabis research institution in the state of Louisiana.
