Securities to be Offered	Up to ___________ Shares, at an assumed public offering price of $ per share, which was the reported closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June ____, 2025.

	We are also offering to each purchaser, with respect to the purchase of Shares that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase one Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu of one share of common stock. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock. The purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the price per Share, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable (subject to the beneficial ownership cap) and may be exercised at any time in perpetuity until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. For more information regarding the Pre-Funded Warrants, you should carefully read the section titled “Description of Our Securities” in this prospectus.

Size of Offering	Up to $4,000,000 of Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants.

Assumed Subscription Price Per Share	$_____ (or $0.0001 per Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu of one share of common stock), which was the reported closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on _______, 2025.

Common Stock Outstanding Prior to This Offering	2,496,858 shares (as of June ____, 2025).

Common Stock Outstanding after This Offering	Up to _________ shares (assuming no issuance or exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants) and an assumed public offering price of $_____ per share, which was the reported closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June ____, 2025.

Use of Proceeds	Assuming that all _________ Shares are sold in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $_____ per share, which was the reported closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June ____, 2025, and assuming no issuance of Pre-Funded Warrants, we estimate the net proceeds of the Offering, after the deduction of underwriter fees and expenses and other offering expenses will be approximately $________. If we raise $4,000,000 in this offering, we estimate that the net proceeds will be approximately $ , after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. We intend to use approximately $1,500,000 of the net proceeds for marketing and advertising services to be provided by IR Agency LLC. The agreement with IR Agency LLC has a term of three (3) months, commencing on the date of the closing of this offering, and may be terminated by either party at any time upon written notice. The agreement may also be extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The $1,500,000 consideration is payable in full upon the closing of the offering and is deemed fully earned upon receipt. We also intend to use $1,000,000 of the net proceeds to fund the initial milestone payment under a Definitive Software Purchase and Sales Agreement with Sales Stack Solutions Corp., a British Columbia company, for the acquisition, integration, and maintenance of the SalesStack technology platform. The SalesStack agreement provides for aggregate milestone-based payments of $2,400,000, payable in three tranches: (i) $1,000,000 upon completion of build and installation; (ii) $700,000 upon full integration into the Company’s Marketplace platform; and (iii) $700,000 upon completion of customization and one month of post-customization support. As of the date of this prospectus, none of these milestones have been achieved. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. Management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the use of such proceeds. If we raise less than the full offering amount, we may be required to adjust the allocation of the net proceeds accordingly.

Market for Common Stock	Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ISPC”.

Market for Pre-Funded Warrants	There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, on any securities exchange or recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, will be limited.
