Beyond Promises: The ECGI Playbook For Building On The OTC

A new breed of company is emerging in the OTC markets, one that is replacing speculative promises with a true playbook of tangible execution. ECGI Holdings (OTCID: $ECGI) is defining this model, writing a compelling new chapter by building real assets and securing the backing of the professional investment community. With a clear and decisive vision for 2025, the company is executing a highly focused plan: deploying capital into the venture technology space and building a portfolio of high-growth AI startups through its newly established investment arm.
This new venture arm, Uplist Ventures, functions as an active accelerator, mirroring established venture capital models but with the operational involvement of a developmental partner. The core vision is to build a diversified portfolio with a clear end goal: cultivating these companies to a state of maturity where they could potentially qualify for an "uplist" to a major exchange. This approach emphasizes active, long-term partnership rather than a traditional more passive investment.

The company’s two recent investments provide tangible proof of this strategy in action.
TrueToForm, the first investment, is an AI software as a service platform that turns a smartphone scan into a precise 3D avatar and gives size guidance at checkout. In the second quarter revenue rose 73% from the first, the sixth straight quarter of double digit growth, and the first half of 2025 already stands 35% above all of last year. On July 22 The Dessy Group, a long standing New York bridal and bridesmaid fashion brand, enabled free TrueToForm scans for every shopper through the web app, with conversion up 162% at Dessy and 300% at Jordan Craig, a New York denim and streetwear label. New signings include bebe and Dovetail Workwear with launches set for next quarter, and a notice of allowance on a patent is in hand as adoption widens.

The second investment applies the same operating playbook to daily user engagement.
Payday Fantasy carries the plan into digital sports entertainment, using AI to surface player projections and speed up entry building. Players run prop pickem, go head to head, and set up private showdowns and group contests, with live scoring and fast withdrawals keeping play moving. More than 15,000 users tested Version 1 in a limited rollout. Version 2 is next, with a new Android build dated June 27 2025 and an active iOS listing, a cadence that lines up with the summer sports window and sets the product to add users as schedules turn.
Reinforcing this focused approach, the company was recently accepted as an affiliate member of the TCA Venture Group, one of the nation's most active and respected angel investor networks with over 300 accredited investors and a track record of funding successful startups. This affiliation provides ECGI with a highly curated pipeline of pre-vetted investment opportunities and access to deal flow that many micro-cap companies cannot reach, further validating its venture model.

ECGI's first two investments operate in extremely high-growth markets, and the vast scale of the opportunity it targets is evident by examining industry leaders. In digital sports entertainment, DraftKings (Nasdaq: $DKNG) has a market cap over $22 billion and serves much of the same audience. In real time 3D and avatar software, Unity (NYSE: $U) has a market cap of just about $13 billion. ECGI's current market cap of ~$250K stands sharply against these figures, highlighting the substantial runway available for the company and its two initial projects. These ventures, however, are just the beginning. With 360 million shares outstanding and its recent acceptance into the TCA Venture Group, the company has the foundational setup and room to operate, allowing it to effectively incubate these ventures and continually pursue further key investments.
ECGI Holdings is positioned as a developmental partner for innovation. By focusing on tangible actions, building a credible venture platform, and making calculated investments in high-potential sectors like AI, the company is laying the groundwork for a compelling future. For those looking at the story behind the ticker, ECGI presents the clear, unfolding narrative of a forward-thinking chapter.
