Really good post TEPCapital. You laid out a compelling investment thesis. It's not a company I'd come across and I will definitely take a look. I'm a bit sceptical about a business that invests in an Australian space services company - but one day someone will find a model that works. CourseLoop and Firmus Grid both look interesting, with CourseLoop being an IPO candidate in the next 12 months.

Harley Grosser has been a busy boy in the past couple of years! In addition to his involvement here he is the founder of Capital H, MD of ARC and a Director of Motio - the latter two only coming in the past 12 months. I've also heard him on numerous podcasts and Livewire. There's barely a deal that gets done that he hasn't had some involvement in. I hear Kevin Rudd approaches him first when he wants to secure more vaccine...! It's perhaps slightly interesting that he has used Capital H and not ARC as the investment vehicle for PVL. ARC has flagged having a Venture Capital fund manager within its structure but it may of been easier to attract the team (Josh Baker et al.) it has from a Capital H perspective.

Will try to look at this more closely in the next fortnight.

Hey Tom,

I ended up taking that position in Powerhouse (ASX:PVL). Given its illiquidity it took a while to get in but the last few days have enabled some interesting opportunities to start to present themselves. Ultimately it's a bet on the team to deliver on the turnaround, find some good deals and then make the appropriate announcements.

I'm surprised @Bkrdzn hasn't taken a position yet. Before he knows it PVL could be at 20 cents and he'll miss out entirely!

The dilemma of marking it in my straw portfolio or not and getting up the ranking again haha. Whilst I like the strawman community and process, I am not in a position to engage like that. But what matters more is IRL and if I do my part to get PVL right, then my investors will do very well as well as those that come along for the ride. That's how I get ranked on PVL.

The only good thing from the carnage in my SMSF on Friday was that by Buy order for PVL @11c went through. I'm pretty sure that's a good thing but who knows what this week will bring

Hi Josh,

I was just being a bit cheeky and pulling your chain a bit. Clearly if it does go to 20 cents - over a 20 day VWAP - not having it in your SM portfolio will be the least thing on your mind!
