  • OneMRI — A comprehensive whole-body MRI. Radiation-free, clinically reviewed, and explained by doctors.
  • 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.
