    I'm not convinced on this one. It seems a few years before they will be profitable. Currently 95% focused in Aussie, so reliance on a single market, will they be able to crack asia?

    Shares are extremely hard to get - I believe only available from brokers who are bidding for stock.

    Meanwhile, Chairman is taking $1m worth at same price as other investors and there is a lock up of directors' shares until 2016.

    Looks good.

    I emailed asb and they are not participating. Sound like you just apply for them directly? Interesting that Asb are participating in gen track but not serko. Maybe because gen is a dual listing? Serko is definitely my favourite of the two but still need to do more research. Neither seems entirely cheap tbh.
