In just three months (Agreement signed in September) we have launched our long awaited travel insurance product into the Pelikin App. We’re pumped to be able to offer this product to our Pelikin Squad and we’ve built this one with the help of our early adopters and waitlisters!

Young Aussies HATE paying stuff period, but they REALLY HATE paying for stuff that they don’t need!

We’ve built Pelikin Travel Insurance so that they’ll never have to pay for cover they don’t need.

Step 1: Choose from 3 base cover options (Saver, Basic or Comprehensive)
Step 2: Add your optional extras (10 available!)

Snowboarding in Japan? Add the Snow Pack
Ameatur Photographer? Add the Device Pack
Baby on board? Add the Pregnancy Pack

This addition broadens the Pelikin value proposition and our acquisition reach and will serve as a valuable ancillary source of revenue on top of our travel card revenue.
You can check it out HERE or simply open your Pelikin App to view it in the flesh.

Our cap raise to fuel growth is still open!

Our funding round is well and truly opened and every week I’m speaking with and meeting people who are keen to learn more. As you know we’ve secured 20% of our $2million goal and all the funds we’re raising will, for the most part, be injected into growing our business.

We’ve done the heavy building, it’s now time to get the Pelikin card in as many people’s hands as we can and to offer them our full suite of products. This is the motive behind our raise and we’re looking forward to closing it out as soon as we can so we can get busy growing our brand, product and most of all our customer base.

You can contact me directly to talk about Pelikin and the raise on email (reply to this one) or on my mobile +61 0431800477.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
