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