Anything is possible @Garfield -- it's always just a question of whether the cost/effort required is justified against competing priorities.

Right now you can customise the newsfeed to some extent using the 'filter newsfeed options' link at the top of the Home page feed:

So you can switch trade notifications on/off and likewise with forum posts. And yoyu can also select to only see stuff from people/companies you follow.

You can also customise things from a notifications standpoint by clicking on the bell icon at the top o fthe page:

And then clicking settings:

Hopefully this will do most of what your after, but if there's a specific filter option you had in mind we can definitely take a look.

That's not a bad idea @BoredSaint

Whether that be the solution of just a way to catalogue and easily find Strawman meetings given the substantial library of content that has been built up.

Thanks @Noddy74

I think it would be useful as I often go to the Strawman page specific to each company I'm having a look at. And just having a tab that links to any past meetings would be really helpful rather than manually trying to sift through the meetings page.

Yeah that idea makes a lot of sense @BoredSaint

We've got some updates in the works, but will take a look at better organising the meetings when we get some clear air.

Apologies also for the radio silence from me on Strawman the last week or so - have tried to take a bit of time off with the kids over the holidays, but I'm keen to dig into some of the corporate news that's come out, and post some thoughts on Strawman.

The only ongoing affiliation is with Sharesight, and there's a blog page here: https://strawman.com/blog/manage-your-portfolio-in-style-with-sharesight/

I'll pin this to the first page of the blog so it's easily found.

I wonder if peeps would be interested in hearing from any non-listed fledgling companies? Although unlisted they do go through funding rounds and there are sometimes options for 'retail' investors to participate. There are a couple that come to mind:

• Ensurance (ENA) recently made an investment in Koba Insurance - an investment that I am in two minds about. Koba claim to be the only pay-per-kilometre insurance company in Australia. Customers need to attach a device to a port under the steering wheel, which monitors kilometres travelled (it can also track a whole lot of other stuff raising some interesting future possibilities). They won a Fintech award in 2022 but are very early stage. Recently they celebrated 3 million kms billed, which is great but at 5 cents per kilometre (which seems to be the indicative rate based on a quote I took) that is only $150k in lifetime revenue. Even adding on a similar amount for the standing charge and they're still clearly a long way from any kind of scale. Having said that they celebrated 500,000 kilometres billed just 8 months ago so they're growing like the clappers. Their founder is Andrew Wong. He's on LinkedIn or I'm sure crowdfunders Birchal or Tom Kent from Ensurance could put you in touch.
• Evee is another interesting idea. They're alot like Camplify (CHL), but instead of campers they create a marketplace for renting out Electric Vehicles from private owners. Evee happens to be going through a funding round right now, details of which can be found here. They make bank by taking a 35% cut of the booking and recently ticked over 16,000 rental days. Presumably they are hoping to ride the wave of EV adoption and the evangelistic nature of early adopters. Viacheslav Kozlovskii is the CEO and Founder.

[I have no investment in either company other than via Ensurance's investment in Koba, which I do own a bit of]

I'm certainly open to it @Noddy74. Even if investment is only open to "sophisticated" investors, there's often a good business or industry insight to be had.

If I get more than 10 likes to this post, I'll take that as a sign others would be interested too and will reach out.

Also, if anyone else has any contacts in the unlisted space that you think would be interesting, let us know and we can reach out.

Yeah I agree @loshell. I'm not sure what's involved, but we'll have a look at it.
