Pinned straw:
Thanks for the interview strawman. This was one of the reasons I joined strawman, getting some questions on AIM answered (top 3 position for me) so thanks.
My takeaways were that:
If voice doesn't work, you can bet a new plan will be rolled out before it is clear that is not working, Tony is a fast mover. Must keep a clear thesis to not be too swept up in Tony's enthusiasm.
You did well @Strawman, thank you for the meeting! Certainly with Tony, you didnt get a much of a word in… ha ha ha Good of him to make the time and to be so open with our community though. Was great to see the hardware and to hear about what’s ahead for AIM and us investors:)
Discl: Held IRL 4.96% and in SM
Great summaries of the meeting and a great meeting - (original smart arse comment on @Strawman- deleted - ) ...!
I took away additional points in 2 areas, both subtle, but adds to my high conviction on AIM:
Encoders
The show-and-tell of the encoders was a huge bonus.
This increased understanding of the encoders and the launch of a souped up Lexi Voice encoder gives me increased technical confidence that latency improvements are possible, further tightening the technical moat.
Company Culture
This augurs well from an investor standpoint as Tony will no doubt hold himself to this same standard when dealing externally.
Tony undoubtedly has an infectious and enthused style but also plenty of skin in the game and seemingly endless commitment to the cause.
With these kind of people its important to always check that they execute on the things they say- i think Tony has done that well to date. Im backing him to grow this company and its my largest real life position and looking to add more over the next 12 months (i still think a pull back is possible given FY26 revenues are likely to fall and lexi voice revenue is unlikely to be meaningful until FY27)
