(TSXV-PGV)

TORONTO, May 26, 2017 /CNW/ - Prodigy Ventures Inc. (TSXV: PGV) ("Prodigy" or the "Company") today announced the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

"I am very pleased with our growth this quarter as we continue to strengthen our position in the Canadian market as one of the leading boutique technology service providers in the country," stated Tom Beckerman, CEO of Prodigy. "We are off to a fast start this year, expanding our sales and marketing, building our pipeline, and developing new clients. And, with our new relationship with Ov2 Securities, we are actively seeking acquisitions to add additional customers, new revenue streams and increase cash flow."

Mr. Beckerman continued, "As well, we continue to gain traction with our iVideo brand as we release new versions with enhanced features. We have increased our R&D expenses in this segment of the business for both our B2C and B2B iVideo applications. This increase, coupled with significant sales and marketing expense increases in our services provider business, reduced our net income for Q1, but position us well for our next stage of growth."
