NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES.
VANCOUVER, April 19th, 2018 /CNW/ – Good Life Networks Inc. (“GLN“, or the “Company“) (TSX-V: “GOOD”), a Vancouver-based programmatic advertising technology company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Advisory Agreement with First Coin Capital to assist in the detailed analysis and planning of the GLN accounts receivable (“AR”) Blockchain application.
GLN’s patent pending Blockchain application is designed to accelerate AR payment cycles for vendors in the digital advertising ecosystem. Currently, programmatic advertising allows for transactions in fractions of a seconds, while the payments are typically settled on 90, 120 or even 180-day cycles, tying up billions of dollars of working capital across the digital publishing industry. GLN’s AR Blockchain solution will help to ensure next day payments to publishers without requiring advertisers to change their behavior, all without needing third party intermediaries such as factoring agents.
First Coin Capital is a Vancouver-based technology services company dedicated to advising established companies and providing access to the emerging digital currency asset class.
In February of this year, First Coin Capital, Galaxy Digital and Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc. entered into an arrangement agreement to combine their respective assets to form a leading new enterprise in the blockchain, digital asset and cryptocurrency space. Galaxy Digital was founded by Michael Novogratz, early investor in cryptocurrency and former Principal and Chief Investment Officer at Fortress Investment Group LLC and former Partner at Goldman Sachs.
“Our relationship with First Coin Capital will help us deliver our AR Blockchain solution on a global scale. The benefits to the digital industry are game changing. I firmly believe that GLN and First Coin Capital are the team to make this happen in 2018.” Said Jesse Dylan, CEO of GLN.
“We are thrilled about the opportunity to support GLN in exploring an innovative, Blockchain-based financial solution for the adtech space.” Stated Jon Austrom, Co-founder & COO of First Coin Capital.

GLN recently closed a $9.2 million subscription financing prior to closing its qualifying transaction and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the stock symbol “GOOD” and The Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the stock symbol 4G5.
