Another aspect I'd consider is this: it looks bad for anyone to be associated with a smallcap OTC in the open.

Imagine Celestial AI, a groundbreaking AI accelerator company employing photonics at the leading edge, is leveraging the tech of a...small cap OTC pennystock? How does that make them look? The same is true for all our other large partners.

Assuming this the case, then being on the Nasdaq should allow POET to name names in the open, as POET would no longer be an OTC pennystock. The reputation of our partners would not be at risk if they are found to be associated with us.

Just imho.
