As someone who learned a few lessons with 1PG (although fortunately got out at a break even point without getting burned), I'd suggest the two aren't remotely comparable apart from a rapidly rising market cap.

You might say it's all hype for both, but BRN has an actual physical product which we can reasonably assume works (obviously yet to be confirmed). 1PG was a smoke and mirrors operation that literally didn't have a product and were claiming to do things they actually couldn't. I think it came out later that their staff were doing manual desktop searches to find job candidates and that they didn't actually have software that did what they said it could. None of the companies who did a free trial took up the product because it added no value. It was a con job really.

BRN is surely different. Actual game changing technology that can be applied across multiple industries, with interest from big players and a couple of confirmed partnerships (plus endorsement from Socionext). In my mind much more credibility and something tangible to latch on to (although I will breathe a sigh of relief when we see that first ANN for a commercial arrangement that is significant).
