The Loop Issue # 6
Keeping you in the loop with Sharesies.
Well — this is intensely fun! It’s heating up at Sharesies as we build our Alpha. We’ve been pitching, designing, developing and promoting. So much to do!
We’ve opened our convertible note raise and it’s filling up fast 😃.

Hustling
This week the champions at Springload let the Sharesies team take over their roof-top house so we could crank into our alpha build. Was great to see the team working together and the Sharesies culture really come to life! 👌 Springload!
Product progress
- Design & Dev built the Alpha — it’s all go!
- Compliance on track.
Driving up content = driving up leads
- “Buy, hold, whack it on an API….sorted!”
- My first time investing
- Earthful Investing
- Raising capital #likeagirl
We’ve been pitching up a storm! Meeting a lot of potential investors who are so excited about what we’re doing and got some committed $ this week too. This is really validating what we’re doing from a business perspective which we’re stoked about.
Also, we’ve been meeting awesome people truly driven to ensure Kiwi’s are protected and informed when it comes to their money 🙌.

It’s crunch time as the whole team works hard building our Alpha and then Beta. We’re having heaps of fun building Sharesies but conscious we are human — so got to make sure we balance the load.
