April 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capstone Technologies Group, Inc (OTC: CATG) a company that acquires, operates and organically develops disruptive technologies, today provided an update with respect to its minority interest in data technology and media company, DrivenIQ.
Black Book has announced the integration of its VIN-specific valuation and VIN Decoding data into DrivenIQ’s new DriveBid™ platform.
DriveBid, the first consumer-driven Live Trade-in Marketplace, helps dealers sell more cars while sourcing valuable inventory direct from the consumer. At NADA, DriveBid signed over 250 dealers onto their new platform.
“Integrating Black Book’s data into DrivenIQ’s DriveBid platform provides dealers with the data they need to increase their revenue and maximize their profit,” said Jared Kalfus, President of Black Book. “Dealers will have up-to-date, precise data so that they can more competitively bid for new inventory, make more desirable trade offers and sell more vehicles.”
The DriveBid marketplace allows consumers to place their vehicle into a virtual garage and receive Black Book’s trade-in valuation or valuation range for their vehicle. Dealers can then bid on the vehicle or make a purchase offer. At the same time, dealers can display their inventory and enable it to be shopped by consumers.
“It was great to be back to in-person events, and we’re thrilled with the success that we saw in Las Vegas at NADA, our industry’s largest convention,” said Albert Thompson, CEO of DrivenIQ. “DriveBid connects dealers who need inventory with consumers who are looking for the best offer for their vehicle in a real-time, easy-to-use online platform. DriveBid empowers consumers to watch live bidding and simultaneously communicate with dealers to ask and answer questions, as well as to explore inventory for their next vehicle purchase. Black Book’s data allows us to create transparency in the trade-in and vehicle purchasing process that until now, has never existed.”
DrivenIQ is a data-driven intelligence technology firm. Late last year, Capstone Technologies Group, Inc (OTC: CATG), a company that acquires, operates and organically develops disruptive technologies, acquired an initial minority interest in DrivenIQ and has invested additional capital to further accelerate the company’s growth.

$CATG DrivenIQ Acquires Visitor Data Inc., Now Owns 500+ Million 1st Party Consumer RecordsPress Release | 03/21/2022
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capstone Technologies Group, Inc (OTC: CATG) a company that acquires, operates and organically develops disruptive technologies, today provided an update related to its initial minority interest in data technology and media company, DrivenIQ.
DrivenIQ, the experts in data and data technologies to help businesses best advertise to their ideal customers, announced it has acquired Visitor Data Inc. With this acquisition, DrivenIQ now owns more than 500 million 1st Party consumer records, proprietary advertising technology and geo-location targeting capabilities, propelling the company ahead of 95% of marketers that still rely on 3rd Party data.
DrivenIQ purchased Visitor Data Inc. primarily for its double opted-in First-Party Data Pixel Technology, which matches mobile device IDs on any website with corresponding names, emails, phone numbers and street addresses. This acquisition comes at a crucial time as the world trends towards a cookieless future, with major technology companies having recently disabled cookie tracking.
Consider the following statistics.
Nearly 70% of companies have not yet embraced Artificial Intelligence to move past the use of cookies.
Approximately 60% of companies have not yet invested in the future of Zero-Party data or 1st Party data.
“Pixel Technology is essentially caller ID for your website,” said Albert Thompson, founder and CEO of DrivenIQ. “Our future does not rely on 3rd Party cookies, which makes Zero-Party data and 1st Party data paramount for brands, agencies and retailers to reach their ideal customers. This acquisition is yet another example of our commitment to build the most robust 1:1 consumer data enhancement platform, where consumers and brands connect and share information directly with each other, while also building a way for all businesses to build and own their own data audiences.”
DrivenIQ is a company specializing in Zero-Party data, or information that customers intentionally and proactively share with a brand and 1st Party data, or direct customer information that a company collects and owns.
Late last year, Capstone Technologies Group, Inc (OTC: CATG), a firm that operates and organically develops disruptive technologies, acquired an initial minority interest in DrivenIQ. Today, CATG fully financed the acquisition of Visitor Data Inc. to further accelerate DrivenIQ’s growth and broaden its footprint.
“We will always support innovative, solutions-driven companies like DrivenIQ that stay ahead of the technology curve to help businesses and their customers,” said Mike Pruitt, President of Capstone Technologies Group and Founder of Avenel Financial Group. “We’re proud to lend our expertise in technology and partner networks, and to provide the capital DrivenIQ needs to optimize and expand its global operations.”
With the acquisition of Visitor Data Inc., DrivenIQ’s technology stack now includes the following.
Consumer Radar: A service that empowers business owners to reach specific people in specific parameters with precise messaging about the products or services they’re interested in purchasing.
VisitIQ+Nurture: A technology that scrubs website traffic against 27 different data aggregators and over 650 million data points to identify shoppers by name, email, phone number and street address.
Geo-Zoning: A Geo-Location Device Capture technology that enables businesses to pinpoint and geographically target customers anywhere, and deliver personalized shopper ads across all connected devices at the household level.
TextIQ: Automation that enables businesses to capture opted-in, TCPA-compliant device data and deliver customized text message marketing campaigns from a business or service to consumers.
Social Radar: A First-Party Data social media solution, backed by DrivenIQ’s VisitIQ™ technology, that helps businesses curate real-time customers on site and build custom audiences on Facebook and Instagram to drive traffic to online and offline stores.
DriveBid: A first real-time live trade-in marketplace that connects consumers who want the best offer for their existing vehicles with dealers who need to buy and sell pre-owned vehicles and new inventory.

Hard to say .. Postive things: Very Positive news, multi million dollar financing and sales and low share count, last known was just over 30,000,000 and the float must be super small, impressive website, nobody sells into the bid much and when they do it is small amounts. Negatives are no updated financials, stop sign status on OTC Markets, no 8K's confirming news (press releases can be anything), no disclosed location of Michigan production facility, no updated name change, no sales data from Afina water division or distributor list, corporate address is a forward mail center, no response to messages.
Basically you have nothing but press releases to go on, but those numbers translate into big gains if they materialize. The ask on this stock has been stuck pretty steady around 45 cents for a long time.
Thanks for posting! Maybe somebody in the know will shed some light on this ticker. GL
