Another busy month showcasing and demonstrating the Mobots around the US.
Greg Ecker (President, Magline) and Steve Haythorne presented the Mobot to the 3PL & Chief Supply Chain Managers Summit in Chicago. This event was attended by 400+ senior logistic, retailer and manufacturing managers as a means to keep pace with innovation and meet with industry enablers to solve industry pains. The highlight for Mobotech were introductions to Wal-Mart’s and Kroger who were interested in the Mobotech solution for automating their last mile delivery system.
Mobotech also conducted demos to two key US companies based in Texas. Dean Foods, the biggest milk distributor in the US and Frito-Lay, a massive chips & dips, Pepsi owned Company. Both have last mile distribution issues that the Mobots potentially solve. They have since provided specs for Mobots and both are looking to schedule trials next month. As well as Dean Foods & Frito-Lay we also have trials being scheduled with Dollar General, PepsiCo and Saddle Creek Logistics coming up.
In order to support these trials, Magline have funded the shipping of the remaining four Mobots from NZ to the USA. They also now have the manufacturing and BOM plans to support the Mobots through these trials.
The last round still has NZ$200K available for investing should anybody wish to help with the final pre-sales push and take advantage of a de-risked opportunity.

Where’s the beef? Blackstone just answered the AI question.
In 1984, a fast food ad asked a question that became a catchphrase. Where’s the beef? Jon Gray, President of Blackstone, used that line this month in front of global LPs.

The Best of Both Worlds: How Omnique Fund is Rewiring Real World Assets via Tokenisation
For decades, the playbook for Australia’s wholesale investors has remained relatively unchanged: pick between the slow-moving, illiquid reliability of tangible assets like property and gold, or chase the frictionless, high-velocity liquidity of public equity and digital markets. But as macroeconomic volatility spikes and a structural housing deficit reshapes private debt demand, sophisticated investors are demanding […]
