1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Shares These podcast, Andrew Fraser, Alter, President,

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're telling me it's a little too

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: soon to talk about things like an i PO, whether

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: the company's headed to the NASDAK, headed.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 2: Off shore to try and raise its capital from the

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: public ultimately, or what sort of shape Holter winds up in.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, look, we're very much a KEYWI company and

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: our headquarters here, all of our engineers are here, and

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: that's gonna that's going to be our focus for the

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: next wee. While down the road, who knows absolutely, you know,

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: could consider that that Nasdaq or IPO path could also

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: go more the Stripe SpaceX route of staying private and profitable.

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: But right now the focus is really on that kind

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: of that building, continuing to make Halter as amazing as

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: possible for our farmers and ranches. And I think that's

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: what it excites everyone here on a day to day basis,

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: what's the next step. It's it's about growing and building.

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: We've got a really exciting, cool product, something I'm very

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: proud of, and I think the team here is proud

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: of and our farmers are proud of, and so I'm

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: just excited to get it, you know, on as many

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: farms as possible and as many farmers using it and

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: helping us grow and improve it going forward as well.

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 3: It's still early. There's a long way to go, and

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: so we've just got to keep being focused, keep doing

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: bloody good stuff every day. And yeah, pretty pumped to

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: what it can mean for us.

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: You talked about how I mean launching here in New

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 2: Zealand was really really important obviously for this because it's

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: so well aligned with dairy and so on. I mean,

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: is there something particular about this part of the world

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: Here in Australia. I read that we get a much

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: greater kind of uptake in terms of startups from every

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: dollar of venture capital money that's put in there compared

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: to places like the US. Any years about why that

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: might be.

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's I think there is an element of

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: good old Kiwi ingenuity. I've got a theory as well

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: that you know, we are we are kind of squirreled

40
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: away at the bottom of the world here. You know,

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: it's four hours to get anywhere, it's longer to get

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: even you know, further than Australia, and so that there

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: is that kind of you know innovation or desire for

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 3: growth down here. I think there's a pretty cool ecosystem,

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: you know, Like I for example, I was at VIN

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 3: for VIN for a few years and then we got

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: acquired for about half a billion Kiwi, and you know,

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: you can see some VIN people in the in the market,

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: like you know, helping in some of these companies. Now

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: you've seen the same for trade me and zero and

51
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: these other kind of these exciting pieces, So we're starting

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: to see that grow. I also think that you know,

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: there's a there's a good seed investment kind of community

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 3: here as well, so helps get those startups up and

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: running and uh and and kind of creating value in

56
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: things as well. So you know, I think, yeah, I

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 3: think New Zealand's a pretty special place in terms of

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: a lot of those things. Going a bit off topic,

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: I do think we should be doing more in that

60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: agritech space. You know that New Zealand is brilliant at agriculture,

61
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: is brilliant at tech. There are some really cool ag

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: tech startups here in New Zealand. But I'd love to

63
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: see even more as well, because I think we are

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: uniquely placed here to be building and driving some special

65
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: stuff in that Investing involves the risk you might lose

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: the money you start with.

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: We recommend talking to a licensed financial advisor.

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: We also recommend reading product disclosure documents before deciding to

69
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: invest
