To achieve this, we are rapidly transforming Spacetalk into a software and MNVO subscription business, with a relentless focus on disciplined delivery of our strategy and the launch of new subscription products that engage whole families and increase our customer lifetime value.

We are focused on achieving sustainable profitability within H2FY24, which in turn will set us up for controlled overseas expansion. This capital raise will support the business to reach this objective.

I am excited about Spacetalk's growth potential and look forward to sharing our success in the future.
