- BarterAds Pty Ltd — BarterAds is a programmatic advertising exchange that enables businesses to acquire customers without cash spend by converting unused ad inventory into a tradable asset. Instead of paying in fiat, companies earn and spend a proprietary internal currency called Barter Dollars, which are issued when they display ads on their owned media propertiessuch as websites, apps, or platforms.The platform operates as an auction-based exchange, similar to traditional ad networks, where advertisers bid for impressions using Barter Dollars. Inventory is matched contextually and priced dynamically through real-time bidding, ensuring efficient allocation of supply and demand across the network. This allows both advertisers and publishers to maximize the value of otherwise underutilized inventory.BarterAds primarily targets startups, SaaS platforms, marketplaces, gaming companies, and content publishers that have traffic but are constrained by rising customer acquisition costs. By removing the need for upfront cash spend, the platform provides a capital-efficient growth channel, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses.The system includes controls for brand safety, fraud prevention, and inventory quality through business verification, campaign approvals, and continuous monitoring. Barter Dollars are non-transferable and expire periodically, preventing hoarding and ensuring continuous circulation within the ecosystem.BarterAds is designed as a hybrid between barter networks and modern ad exchanges, combining the scalability and automation of programmatic advertising with a closed-loop, cashless economy. The company is headquartered in Australia and is focused on building a global network of advertisers and publishers who both contribute inventory and run campaigns within the platform.

Uniseed was established in October 2000 as a $20 million joint venture between the University of Melbourne (UM) and the University of Queensland (UQ). This proof of concept fund (Fund-1) operated with significant input and support from the commercialization offices of the two universities (UniQuest and Melbourne Ventures Limited), with staff ofthese organizations making up the majority of the Investment Committee and leading due diligence and management of most investment opportunities. Over 20 investments, typically of $250,000 - $500,000 were made from this fund.A new $40 million venture fund (Fund-2) ran from 2005-15, with the addition of a third leading university, the University of New South Wales, and a major private institutional investor, the Westscheme superannuation fund. The founding universities (UQ & UM) also committed further funds. Australian Super took over Westscheme's essets and commitments in July 2011.With the start of Fund-2, an independent management team was established, consisting of the CEO and three Investment Managers; one at each university catchment. The Investment Committee was restructured, with dedicated committees established for biotechnology or other technologies. The nominal investment limit was increased to $2.5 million to allow participation in follow-on funding rounds so as to preserve Uniseed's equity position.On 1 November 2015, Uniseed started its third and largest fund (Fund-3) with the addition of the University of Sydney and the CSIRO to the Universities of Queensland, Melbourne and NSW. This followed three high profile exits in the preceding 14 months (Fibrotech; Spinifex & Hatchtech). Each of the five partners committed $10 million over 10 years to the new fund (total fund $50 million).Uniseed’s partner research organisations spent nearly $4 billion on research, making up over 40% of the total research spend at 67 research organisations in Australia. Together, these organisations accounted for nearly 500 invention disclosures (34% of total) and 500 new registered IP rights filed (45% of total) over the same period(2013 National Survey of Research Commercialisation). Unlike private venture capital funds, Uniseed is dedicated to the needs of its research partners, and committed to servicing them consistently over the long term, irrespective of the short term conditions in external capital markets. It works in very close partnership with the research partner commercialisation companies and staff, providing a valuable adjunct to the capabilities these companies and staff provide. They in turn provide a best-practice commercialisation service tailored to their respective organisations. These companies are able to leverage to great effect the scale of operation and expertise of the Uniseed network.The fund is run with commercial discipline, ensuring independence and financial rigor in its investment decision-making processes. Success is measured by a balance of return on investment (including the flow of funds for research to further the commercialisation of intellectual property generated within the research partner catchments), the establishment of viable start-up companies, the generation of research income for research partners and the improvement of partner commercialisation processes.

Plan and assign your drone fleet to flights around the world, track pilots, batteries and gear, customize safety plans and automate your compliance obligations with any country's civil aviation authority with one tool that goeswherever you fly.We have offices in the USA and Australia. The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), which is the equivalent of the USA's FAA, selected Drone Complier as the official app to inform drone pilots where it is safe and legal to fly drones as a hobby and where you need to be certified in order to conduct commercial drone operations. DRONE COMPLIER seamlessly links administrative control and mobile accessibility to ensure everyone involved in the company's drone operations is working from the same playbook. Administrators and risk management professionals get total visibility and ensure compliance with regulations and company policies, while operators get a valuable mission planning, logging and management app they can take anywhere they go. Our solution was selected by the ASSURE consortium of leading US Universities (including Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University) as their official drone program management solution, and has been proven in the field in events like Embry-Riddle's Storm Chasers program, which made national headlines when students and faculty assisted first responders with real-time aerial imagery after tornados devastated Kansas.Customer testimony from Patrick Cape - Social Media and Communications Officer - Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority "The 'Can I fly there?' app has proven to be immensely popular with the drone community in Australia, with over 20,000 users in the first week after its release. With its easy-to-understand guidance about where you can and cannot fly, 'Can I fly there?' provides every drone operator in Australia, regardless of their aviation knowledge and experience, the ability to make every flight a safe one. The team at Drone Complier have been great to work with in developing the app, going above and beyond to ensure the product was delivered on time and to our specifications. We look forward to continuing to work with the Drone Complier Team..."

- Understood Care —
Uniseed was established in October 2000 as a $20 million joint venture between the University of Melbourne (UM) and the University of Queensland (UQ). This proof of concept fund (Fund-1) operated with significant input and support from the commercialization offices of the two universities (UniQuest and Melbourne Ventures Limited), with staff ofthese organizations making up the majority of the Investment Committee and leading due diligence and management of most investment opportunities. Over 20 investments, typically of $250,000 - $500,000 were made from this fund.A new $40 million venture fund (Fund-2) ran from 2005-15, with the addition of a third leading university, the University of New South Wales, and a major private institutional investor, the Westscheme superannuation fund. The founding universities (UQ & UM) also committed further funds. Australian Super took over Westscheme's essets and commitments in July 2011.With the start of Fund-2, an independent management team was established, consisting of the CEO and three Investment Managers; one at each university catchment. The Investment Committee was restructured, with dedicated committees established for biotechnology or other technologies. The nominal investment limit was increased to $2.5 million to allow participation in follow-on funding rounds so as to preserve Uniseed's equity position.On 1 November 2015, Uniseed started its third and largest fund (Fund-3) with the addition of the University of Sydney and the CSIRO to the Universities of Queensland, Melbourne and NSW. This followed three high profile exits in the preceding 14 months (Fibrotech; Spinifex & Hatchtech). Each of the five partners committed $10 million over 10 years to the new fund (total fund $50 million).Uniseed’s partner research organisations spent nearly $4 billion on research, making up over 40% of the total research spend at 67 research organisations in Australia. Together, these organisations accounted for nearly 500 invention disclosures (34% of total) and 500 new registered IP rights filed (45% of total) over the same period(2013 National Survey of Research Commercialisation). Unlike private venture capital funds, Uniseed is dedicated to the needs of its research partners, and committed to servicing them consistently over the long term, irrespective of the short term conditions in external capital markets. It works in very close partnership with the research partner commercialisation companies and staff, providing a valuable adjunct to the capabilities these companies and staff provide. They in turn provide a best-practice commercialisation service tailored to their respective organisations. These companies are able to leverage to great effect the scale of operation and expertise of the Uniseed network.The fund is run with commercial discipline, ensuring independence and financial rigor in its investment decision-making processes. Success is measured by a balance of return on investment (including the flow of funds for research to further the commercialisation of intellectual property generated within the research partner catchments), the establishment of viable start-up companies, the generation of research income for research partners and the improvement of partner commercialisation processes.
