Proactive - Interviews for investors

Airtasker CEO on growth, AI & global expansion

Airtasker Ltd CEO Tim Fung talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s strategic focus across innovation, growth, and international expansion.** Fung outlined how Airtasker differentiates itself in the local services marketplace by operating as a community platform, where both customers and taskers set job scopes and pricing, rather than the company enforcing set rates. He emphasised Airtasker’s approach to worker empowerment, noting, *“The top people on our platform are running 150, 200 thousand dollars a year doing these kinds of jobs.”* Fung also acknowledged the challenges of the current consumer environment, pointing to Airtasker’s 14.8% revenue growth in the half as a result of lean operations and renewed brand investment. A key part of Airtasker’s strategy involves innovation across customer acquisition, user experience, and operational efficiency—highlighting its collaboration with OpenAI and use of AI tools like Copilot and Zendesk AI. Fung also discussed partnerships, including one with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, as examples of how Airtasker showcases the diverse range of skilled work enabled by the platform. He concluded by outlining the investor case: a cash-generative, proven business model in Australia being used to fund international growth in the US and UK, offering upside potential with limited downside. #Airtasker #TimFung #ASX #GigEconomy #AIIntegration #MarketplacePlatform #SmallCapStocks #TechInnovation #FY25Strategy #ProactiveInvestors #OpenAI #GlobalExpansion #InvestorUpdates #StartupGrowth

AI translation tech: Straker CEO talks IBM partnership

Straker Ltd CEO Grant Straker talked with Proactive at AIM"S Small and Midcap Conference about how the company is leveraging artificial intelligence to reshape the global language services industry. Straker explained how the business evolved from early content management systems into a leading AI-powered translation platform over the last 15 years. The company focuses on blending machine learning with human expertise to deliver high-quality, cost-effective language services. A key milestone has been the integration of its platform by IBM, which now uses Straker’s technology for all its internal translations. “They’ve gone from a multi-vendor traditional model to just us,” Straker said, highlighting how the move has streamlined IBM’s operations while reducing costs. He also discussed the company's proprietary "Terry" language model and its innovative quality estimation* system. This tool evaluates translated content for accuracy, determining whether it needs human review—improving efficiency and boosting gross margins. Straker outlined a clear investor case, emphasizing three pillars: financial strength, innovation, and global distribution. The company is targeting revenues of AUD 45 million for the year, with no debt, AUD 12 million in cash, and annual R&D investment of AUD 7 million. With operations in ten countries and strategic alignment with IBM’s AI stack, Straker positioned the company as well-placed to scale quickly through operating leverage in AI. #AI #StrakerLtd #GrantStraker #LanguageTech #TranslationAI #IBMPartnership #ArtificialIntelligence #InvestorUpdate #MachineTranslation #TechStocks #ASXStocks #TerryModel #QualityEstimation #ProactiveInvestors #SmallCapASX

Wrkr CEO on super compliance growth strategy

Wrkr Limited CEO Trent Lund talked with Proactive at the AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s strategy to simplify compliance through a deeply integrated digital platform. The ASX-listed company, trading under the ticker WRK, connects users, employers, and superannuation funds to streamline data accuracy and reduce friction in onboarding processes. “We do all the hard work and the heavy lifting so the business and the employee don’t have to,” said Lund. He explained that Wrkr verifies user credentials and automates data flows, reducing error and increasing trust. The system connects to major superannuation funds and payroll systems, holding accurate user information even during job transitions. Lund detailed Wrkr’s monetisation model, which aims to earn approximately $7 per user through microservices, including license checks and transactions. Current pilots, including one with major fund REST, are transitioning to production. Each super fund implementation takes about nine months and represents between $7 million and $14 million in annual annuity revenue once fully operational. Looking ahead, 2025 will be focused on large-scale implementation, with 2026 anticipated to generate higher consumption-based revenues. In 2027, Wrkr expects a significant uplift with the introduction of payday super legislation. #WrkrLimited #TrentLund #ASXWRK #Superannuation #ComplianceTech #FintechAustralia #PayrollIntegration #InvestorUpdate #PaydaySuper #DigitalTransformation #DataVerification #WorkforceAutomation

Opioid-Free pain relief: AFT’s global expansion strategy

AFT Pharmaceuticals Ltd Managing Director Dr Hartley Atkinson talked with Proactive at the AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company's unique approach to drug development, its expanding global footprint, and what lies ahead in 2025. AFT Pharmaceuticals is focused on creating pharmaceuticals "with a difference," targeting unmet needs and reducing reliance on opioids. “We don’t sell anything we don’t believe in,” said Dr Atkinson, highlighting the importance of alternatives to opioid treatments. One of the company’s key analgesic products helps avoid opioid use — a particularly timely innovation in light of the global opioid crisis. Dr Atkinson discussed the company’s core markets, with a strong presence in New Zealand and Australia, generating approximately 150 million in revenue. AFT also maintains operations in Asia and now exports to around 80 countries. The company has experienced sustained growth, having quadrupled in size over the past decade and doubled in the last five years. AFT has established six new affiliates across regions including Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa, Canada, the UK, and Europe. Looking ahead, the company plans several product launches across Australia and New Zealand and anticipates five drug launches in China — the world’s second-largest pharmaceutical market. “For us, that’s going to be an interesting journey,” Atkinson added. #AFTPharmaceuticals #OpioidAlternatives #PharmaceuticalInnovation #ChinaPharma #DrugDevelopment #HealthcareGrowth #ASXStocks #BiotechInvesting #GlobalHealthcare #PharmaExpansion
