The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2021. This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to report a change of more than 1% in beneficial ownership of the shares outstanding as a result of the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock through the exercise of warrants by Highbridge and by open market purchases of Common Stock by ALS.

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

On August 28, 2020, the Issuer entered into consulting agreements (each a “ Consulting Agreement ”) with each of Pink Possum, LLC (“ Pink Possum ”), an entity controlled by Christian Okonsky (“Mr. Okonsky”), and Highbridge, pursuant to which Messrs. Okonsky and James provide Issuer with various services. Mr. Okonsky is a co-founder, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of the Issuer. In consideration for entering into the Consulting Agreements, the Issuer issued to the two entities ten-year warrants to purchase Common Stock of Issuer at an exercise price of $0.004 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the warrants was based on the number of shares of Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding at the time of exercise and provided that Pink Possum and Highbridge would receive 18.75% and 25%, respectively, of Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding at the time of exercise on a fully diluted basis. On March 26, 2021, Pink Possum and Highbridge entered into amendments to the Consulting Agreements (each a “ Consulting Agreement Amendment ”) agreeing to exchange the original warrants for new ten-year warrants to purchase 4,750,000 and 6,250,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock of Issuer at an exercise price of $0.98 (the “ Warrants ”).

On October 8, 2021, the Issuer closed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 3,025,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Prior to the IPO, in the aggregate, Mr. James beneficially owned 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock, including (i) shares underlying a warrant to purchase 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.98 per share held by Highbridge, (ii) 375,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by Svenska, (iv) 187,500 shares of Common Stock held directly by Vanguard and (v) 187,500 shares of Common Stock held directly by Park.

On October 18, 2021, ALS purchased (i) 147,700 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with a weighted average purchase price of $8.75 per share and (ii) an additional 87,300 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with a weighted average purchase price of $9.38 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $2,111,249.

On October 19, 2021, ALS purchased (i) 112,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with a weighted average purchase price of $9.15 per share and (ii) an additional 3,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with a weighted average purchase price of $8.63 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $1,050,690.

On October 21, 2021, Vanguard purchased 23,298 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with the weighted average purchase price of $8.67 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $202,045.

On October 22, 2021, ALS purchased an additional 2,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with weighted average purchase price of $8.82 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $17,648.

On October 22, 2021, Vanguard purchased 27,302 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with the weighted average purchase price of $8.93 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $243,746.

On October 25, 2021, Vanguard purchased an additional 6,300 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with a weighted average purchase price of $11.13 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $70,140.

CUSIP No. 92864V103 13D Page 9 of 10 Pages

On November 16, 2021, ALS purchased an additional 34,150 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with weighted average purchase price of $14.30 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $488,345.

On November 17, 2021, ALS purchased an additional 21,650 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with weighted average purchase price of $15.42 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $333,843.

On November 18, 2021, ALS purchased an additional 14,400 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with weighted average purchase price of $16.11 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $231,984.

On December 20, 2021, Highbridge exercised the 5,507,575 warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, resulting in an additional 5,507,575 shares of common stock being held by Highbridge. The number of shares issuable upon a cashless exercise is determined, in accordance with Section 2(c) of the warrant agreement by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant multiplied by the difference between $0.98 and (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise since the notice of exercise was both executed and delivered prior to the opening of "regular trading hours" (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on the date of the exercise.

On December 20, 2021, ALS purchased an additional 5,600 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in multiple trades with weighted average purchase price of $7.24 per share, for total purchase price of approximately $40,544.

Following these transaction, Mr. James directly and indirectly beneficially owned 6,742,275 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, Highbridge had direct beneficial ownership of 5,507,575 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, ALS had direct beneficial ownership of 427,800 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, and Vanguard had direct beneficial ownership of 244,400 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. All transactions executed by ALS and Vanguard following the IPO were made with other funds.

and Park. As a result of the foregoing, and for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Mr.
James may be deemed to beneficially own 6,742,275 shares of Common Stock or 38.95% of the Common Stock of the Issuer as of the date
of this filing.
(c)	Except as described herein (see Item 3), during the past sixty (60)
days there were no other purchases or sales of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of Common Stock, by the Reporting Persons or any person or entity for which the Reporting Persons possess voting or dispositive control
over the securities thereof.
(d)	Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from
the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
