Speaker 1: You're listening to a Shares These podcast, Andrew Fraser, Alter, President,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're telling me it's a little too
Speaker 1: soon to talk about things like an i PO, whether
Speaker 1: the company's headed to the NASDAK, headed.
Speaker 2: Off shore to try and raise its capital from the
Speaker 2: public ultimately, or what sort of shape Holter winds up in.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, look, we're very much a KEYWI company and
Speaker 3: our headquarters here, all of our engineers are here, and
Speaker 3: that's gonna that's going to be our focus for the
Speaker 3: next wee. While down the road, who knows absolutely, you know,
Speaker 3: could consider that that Nasdaq or IPO path could also
Speaker 3: go more the Stripe SpaceX route of staying private and profitable.
Speaker 3: But right now the focus is really on that kind
Speaker 3: of that building, continuing to make Halter as amazing as
Speaker 3: possible for our farmers and ranches. And I think that's
Speaker 3: what it excites everyone here on a day to day basis,
Speaker 3: what's the next step. It's it's about growing and building.
Speaker 3: We've got a really exciting, cool product, something I'm very
Speaker 3: proud of, and I think the team here is proud
Speaker 3: of and our farmers are proud of, and so I'm
Speaker 3: just excited to get it, you know, on as many
Speaker 3: farms as possible and as many farmers using it and
Speaker 3: helping us grow and improve it going forward as well.
Speaker 3: It's still early. There's a long way to go, and
Speaker 3: so we've just got to keep being focused, keep doing
Speaker 3: bloody good stuff every day. And yeah, pretty pumped to
Speaker 3: what it can mean for us.
Speaker 2: You talked about how I mean launching here in New
Speaker 2: Zealand was really really important obviously for this because it's
Speaker 2: so well aligned with dairy and so on. I mean,
Speaker 2: is there something particular about this part of the world
Speaker 2: Here in Australia. I read that we get a much
Speaker 2: greater kind of uptake in terms of startups from every
Speaker 2: dollar of venture capital money that's put in there compared
Speaker 2: to places like the US. Any years about why that
Speaker 2: might be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's I think there is an element of
Speaker 3: good old Kiwi ingenuity. I've got a theory as well
Speaker 3: that you know, we are we are kind of squirreled
Speaker 3: away at the bottom of the world here. You know,
Speaker 3: it's four hours to get anywhere, it's longer to get
Speaker 3: even you know, further than Australia, and so that there
Speaker 3: is that kind of you know innovation or desire for
Speaker 3: growth down here. I think there's a pretty cool ecosystem,
Speaker 3: you know, Like I for example, I was at VIN
Speaker 3: for VIN for a few years and then we got
Speaker 3: acquired for about half a billion Kiwi, and you know,
Speaker 3: you can see some VIN people in the in the market,
Speaker 3: like you know, helping in some of these companies. Now
Speaker 3: you've seen the same for trade me and zero and
Speaker 3: these other kind of these exciting pieces, So we're starting
Speaker 3: to see that grow. I also think that you know,
Speaker 3: there's a there's a good seed investment kind of community
Speaker 3: here as well, so helps get those startups up and
Speaker 3: running and uh and and kind of creating value in
Speaker 3: things as well. So you know, I think, yeah, I
Speaker 3: think New Zealand's a pretty special place in terms of
Speaker 3: a lot of those things. Going a bit off topic,
Speaker 3: I do think we should be doing more in that
Speaker 3: agritech space. You know that New Zealand is brilliant at agriculture,
Speaker 3: is brilliant at tech. There are some really cool ag
Speaker 3: tech startups here in New Zealand. But I'd love to
Speaker 3: see even more as well, because I think we are
Speaker 3: uniquely placed here to be building and driving some special
Speaker 3: stuff in that Investing involves the risk you might lose
Speaker 3: the money you start with.
Speaker 1: We recommend talking to a licensed financial advisor.
Speaker 2: We also recommend reading product disclosure documents before deciding to
Speaker 2: invest
