Martin Jetpack. Maybe an IPO in the offing

[Rocketman]

I can't answer these questions but they are ones that should be on the tip of Martins tongue if he wants cash for his IPO.

Agree - the company will need to assure potential investors on both the technology and the markets.

Which is why I remain of the view this is still a bloke pottering about in his back shed. If you are out sourcing financing options it should already be very clear what the market is, the costs to market, the technology, the jurisdiction in each market relative to the end use, running costs payloads etc. Still a lot of work to do before looking at raising money.

Sometimes Kiwi companies try to do too much on their own.

Surely there are synergies here that could be exploited and provide a better offering to new investors for both Martin and Ultrasport.

I see the Martin Jetpack featured as one of Time Magazine's top inventions of the year. And perhaps the best flight picture we have seen so far.

Yeah that's another good one though from a marketing perspective I am not sure how many synergies there are between the 2 finished products. However from a tech and research point of view I am sure there are plenty. But it is something I would like to see is a more unified approach to overseas tradeshows and marketing.

A bit of difference between the two - One took 30 years, the other 10 months and has an existing market and only needs to sell 4pa to break even.

So you are saying that you cannot see any marketing synergies or engineering tie ups? Nothing in common at all where shared resources would help? Head office, sales, Civil aviation regulations??

No nothing??

Ok fair enough.

Sure there are synergies, but if you were the fast moving company, would you want to be held up by the other.
