Risk Factors
Risks Relating to Our Capital Stock and Trading
There may be substantial sales of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders..., page 26
1.Please enhance this risk factor to acknowledge, if true, that the selling stockholders
acquired the resale shares for less than the anticipated price of the shares to be sold in
the IPO, and thus may accept a lower price for such resale shares. Clarify, if true, that
the lock-up arrangements applicable to 5% or greater shareholders will not apply to
the selling stockholders with respect to the resale shares, and revise to discuss the
related risks. Make conforming revisions where lock-up arrangements are discussed
elsewhere through the primary and resale offering prospectuses.

Responses to COVID-19, page 51
4.We note your response to prior comment 4. Please revise this section to explain, as
you have done in your response letter, how you determined that approximately 43% of
your 2021 revenues and events supported to date could be "partly attributable" to the
impact of COVID-19.
Principal Stockholders, page 59
5.Revise to disclose the natural person(s) that exercise voting and/or dispositive power
over the shares held by the entities listed on pages 59 and Alt-2 and in the footnotes.
Please also disclose whether any of the natural persons have had a material
relationship with the company or any of its predecessors or affiliates within the past
three years. Refer to Question 140.02 of our Regulation S-K Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretations.
Description of Our Securities, page 61
6.Revise here and your risk factors to discuss the super majority voting requirements to
amend your Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the advance notice requirements
for stockholder proposals, and the limitations on who may call special meetings of
stockholders.
7.We note that Article XIII of your Certificate of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.1
identifies the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada (or, if the Supreme Court of the
State of Nevada lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another state or federal court sitting
in the State of Nevada) as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any
"derivative action." Please describe this provision and disclose whether it applies to
actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If so, please state that there
is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision and include
appropriate risk factor disclosure. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims,
please also state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities
laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that Section 22
of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over
all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations thereunder.

8.You disclose you are applying ASC 985-20 . In response to comment 12 in our letter
dated August 21, 2024, you indicated you were applying ASC 350-40. Please explain
the discrepancy or revise accordingly.
Resale Prospectus Cover Page, page Alt
9.Your statement here and on page Alt-3 that the selling stockholders will sell at the
fixed price at which you sell shares in the IPO is inconsistent with the subsequent
statement that the resale shares may only be sold "once, and if, [y]our shares of
common stock are listed on [Nasdaq]." If it is accurate that the resale shares may only
be sold once the IPO has closed and your common stock is traded on Nasdaq, please
revise to make this clear and to remove any suggestion that resale shares will be sold
prior to the consummation of the IPO. For example, at pages Alt-1 and Alt-2 you state
that the firm commitment public offering will happen "concurrently" with the resale
offering.
Selling Stockholders, page Alt-2
10.While we note your statement that "no material relationships exist between any of the
Selling Stockholders, nor have any such material relationships existed within the past
three years," except for the relationship with V-Cube, Inc., we also note that Eastern
Nations Trading Pte. Ltd. received their shares "in consideration of advisory services
and technology implementation services." Please explain to us your consideration of
disclosing the nature of this relationship pursuant to Item 507 of Regulation S-K, or
enhance the disclosure in this section accordingly.
General
We note the addition of the resale prospectus to the registration statement. Please
provide us with a detailed analysis as to why you believe that the resale transaction is
appropriately characterized as a secondary offering, rather than a primary offering in
which the selling stockholders are acting as conduits in a distribution to the public and
are therefore underwriters selling on your behalf. For guidance, refer to Securities Act
Rule Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 612.09. Include the
following information in your analysis:
•Provide additional detail regarding the background and nature of the transactions
by which the selling stockholders, particularly Eastern Nations Trading Pte. Ltd.,
came to acquire the shares they beneficially own, including the price and how it
was determined. Provide additional detail on the "advisory services and
technology implementation services" that Eastern Nations Trading Pte. Ltd has
provided to the company, and explain why it received shares through transfers
from V-Cube, Inc. rather than issuances by the company.
•Clarify whether the underwriter had any role in facilitating the primary sales
and/or transfers of shares to the selling stockholders. 11.

•Disclose the nature of the selling stockholders' businesses.
•Explain why you decided to include a resale component at this time and how you
determined the number of shares to be sold through the resale offering relative to
the IPO.
•Clarify whether the selling stockholders are subject to lock-up arrangements with
respect to the resale shares, as we note that your disclosure throughout the
prospectus is unclear on this point. If not, explain why this is the case and whether
the underwriter sought to have the resale shares subject to lock-up provisions.
•Tell us why the underwriter believes it will be able to successfully place the
securities to be sold in the IPO and facilitate the creation of a public market in
your securities in light of the secondary offering. In this regard, we note your
statement at page 26 that "each of the Selling Stockholders have agreed...that they
will immediately consider selling some portion...of their respective Resale Shares
if requested by the underwriters, in order to create an orderly, liquid market for
our common stock." Explain why the underwriters may "request" that a market for
the shares be facilitated through the resale offering rather than solely through the
firm commitment IPO.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
Please contact Scott Stringer at 202-551-3272 or Rufus Decker at 202-551-3769 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related
matters. Please contact Rebekah Reed at 202-551-5332 or Taylor Beech at 202-551-4515
with any other questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
