The first US federally regulated exchange where you can trade on the outcome of any event. Kalshi’s historical regulatory approval from the CFTC enables it to offer a new asset class called “event contracts,” which allow traders to take positions on whether a future event will happen or not. Kalshi aims to enable investors to trade on almost anything with economic relevance from Covid numbers to whether a bill will pass in Congress, broadening the historical definition of what a commodity derivative is and paving the way for the futures market to catch up to the novel risks facing the economy today. Kalshi is backed by Sequoia, Henry Kravis, Charles Schwab, and Y Combinator.

Welcoming guests since 1618, The Bush is a storied stay where heritage and modernity meet in perfect harmony. Independently owned and effortlessly charming, this ivy-clad retreat exudes warmth, character, and a touch of old-world elegance—without ever feeling stuffy. Step inside, and you’ll find yourself wrapped in the hotel’s historic embrace: original beams, flickering fireplaces, and a sense of quiet grandeur. Outside, manicured gardens, cobbled courtyard and a tranquil terrace offer the perfect spot to press pause with a morning coffee or an evening tipple. Upstairs, 95 individually designed rooms blend timeless style with contemporary comfort—whether youre here for a romantic getaway, a business retreat, or a weekend escape to the Surrey countryside. Foodies, take note: our restaurants serve up fresh, seasonal plates from breakfast through to supper, with afternoon tea for those who prefer their indulgence with a side of tradition. Our bar is a welcoming space for friends, and dog companions alike. For those seeking somewhere more formal to gather, our state-of-the-art meeting and event suite—refurbished and re-opened in September 2023—caters to everything from corporate brainstorming sessions to stylish soirées, with capacity for up to 120 guests. Tucked away within our private grounds, it’s a peaceful setting for weddings, conferences, and celebrations. Despite its secluded charm, The Bush sits in the heart of historic Farnham, with direct train links to London, easy access to the Surrey Hills for walkers and cyclists, and Farnborough Airport just a stone’s throw away. Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, a warm welcome awaits.

Meet Australia's only independent fintech backed by all four major banks. See our video here: https://vimeo.com/388876294 Slyp instantly delivers an interactive smart receipt inside a customer’s banking app, improving the post-purchase experience for customers, and unlocking new value for retailers and banks. Slyp was born out of the frustration that traditional paper receipts are painfully inconvenient for customers, a missed opportunity for retailers, and bad for the environment. Today, we seamlessly tap our cards, our phones, even our watches to make a payment, but at the end of a transaction, we’re still handed a centuries-old paper receipt that will likely end up in the bin. We thought there must be a better way. Slyp’s mission is to turn the end of a transaction into the beginning of a customer relationship. By re-imagining receipts, we’ve unlocked their missed potential and made them fit them into today's smart, eco-conscious world. By linking receipts to cards, Slyp’s solution offers game-changing opportunities for retailers and banks. Retailers gain insights on in-store shoppers and can engage customers post-purchase through each Slyp receipt. Banks capture item-level purchase data, which can be used to enhance their digital proposition and improve operational efficiency. Customers stay organized, save money, and never lose a receipt again! See our video here: https://vimeo.com/388876294

We are a community-powered, industry agnostic VC fund investing in Australian and New Zealand based startups that have $100m+ revenue ambition. We invest at the earliest stages, once you’re ready to turn “after work” into “work”. Our investment process is imbued with a deep respect for founders’ time, intel, and courage. Founders are frequently subject to hellish, drawn-out due diligence processes, only to be unceremoniously knocked back despite their best efforts. We made a commitment to turn up for founders, and have designed a highly transparent process which adds value at every step. Our community is rallied around a shared goal: to invest in the next generation of Australia and New Zealand startups at the very earliest stage, and then support them on their long and arduous journey from improbability to outlier success. Our hivemind is our bedrock and our edge.
