Leverage traditional media for a tech multiple.

Football. Racing. Cricket — the SEN verticals model, pointed at the entire construction market. Tradio is the traditional distribution. Traidy is the platform play: more targeted, more data-rich.

Meta proves the sale. Now radio can.

Traidy's Trade Counter completes the purchase inside the feed — live stock by MCP, group rates, time-boxed. Bunnings sees a number, not a ratings estimate. Tradio on top multiplies it to network scale.

Targeting

Bunnings. Reece. Milwaukee. Toyota. Direct.

Decision-makers at construction businesses, identified by trade, tier and live buying intent. Data capture nobody else has — the most targeted customer in Australian media.

Engagement

Gamified, career-changing, tax-deductible scrolling.

X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok's pull — an online university and digitised trade school underneath — Qantas-status gamification on top. They come for the feed; they stay for the Ladder.

AI-Native Economics

1,000 customers. Five staff. Profitable.

Product Design · Sales · Engineering · Content & Community · Corporate Services — agents run the rest. ~$2.5M member revenue plus commercial access to a 10,000-strong free tier: ~$700K revenue per employee from the first thousand customers.

The Deal

SEN sweat equity — 1% per month over six months, capped at 6%. Zero cash.

Six months of network-wide distribution: radio · digital · podcast · Tradio. Airtime becomes equity.
Plus: further investment available at a discounted valuation — sweat earns the right to buy in deeper.

♫  Money for nothin' — and the equity for free
Tradio is the antenna. Traidy is the operating system.

01

Sweat equity — the point of entry.

SEN earns 6% of Traidy through six months of network-wide distribution — radio, digital, podcast and Tradio — vesting at 1% per month against an agreed schedule. Zero cash. Airtime becomes equity.

02

Investment — $1M for a further 20%.

Reference valuation $5M; SEN enters at a 20% strategic discount ($4M pre-money), reflecting the distribution partnership. The full cheque funds the complete 4–5 person team running the entire business for 18+ months — the founder-CEO takes no salary. SEN's total position is capped at 26% all-in.

03

Next round — month six, priced on performance.

The round closes at the end of the distribution window. Goal: 1,000 paying customers and 10,000 subscribers — a $2.4M run-rate. Priced at 5× run-rate ARR: $12M pre at goal, $9M floor. SEN holds the exclusive mandate to syndicate $2M of new primary through its corporate network — Bunnings, Toyota, Reece — and is issued a further 2% of Traidy on completion. At goal, SEN's position marks ~3× cash in six months — a markup earned by SEN's own distribution.

04

Commercial — SEN leads ad and partnership sales.

25% of year-one commercial revenue closed by SEN, trailing 10% in year two. Reportable revenue from day one, zero fixed cost to Traidy.

05

Media relationship — arm's length.

Traidy books a standard schedule at $5,000 per month on separate terms, satisfying the customer relationship required of a listed company.

In One Breath

Distribution earns the door. Capital buys the floor. The syndicate sets the ceiling.

6% for six months of airtime · $1M for 20% at a discount · syndicate the round at month six, priced on performance · ~3× the stake at goal · a commission line on every commercial dollar · the vertical locked up first.

The Close

What's a million dollars between friends?

Don't get too distracted by the World Cup. It's less important.
