💰fundraise
Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?
The transcript does not mention any current or future plans for fundraising through debt or equity. Key points related to funding are:
- Under the development management model, capital investment (capex) from land acquisition to development is borne by the landowner, not Dev Accelerator Limited.
- Dev's investment primarily is in security deposits and fit-outs, not in property development itself.
- No direct statements about plans to raise funds via debt or equity were discussed in the earnings call.
- The company emphasized building its presence and acquiring assets primarily through partnerships with landowners rather than developers, limiting capital expenditure burden on themselves.
Thus, as per the available transcript, there are no disclosures or indications of new debt or equity fundraising plans at this time.
