Guident is arguably more valuable than any of the other companies and TEK currently own 100%. It's the jewel in the crown.
Lots of partners and Guident's software just slots into their stacks. All on record. Harald Braun has an immaculate pedigree and has worked for the best. They are already producing revenues. recurring. The beauty of software is the ongoing service charges, licenses etc. Software is massively profitable and always has been.
Not saying they won't need some sort of funding at some point (some think we need to fund a satellite but I think they're about 3 years old by their posts, but the secondary company ReVive was created to separate it from the core business for 2 reasons ;
A. so it can be hived off and sold (that would be a special divi right there)
B. In order to raise independently, ie not through a TEK placement etc.
So I'm not so sure Guident does need bottomless pots of money to advance, quite the opposite.
I'm pretty sure that this will be a big year of Guident and that the news will come thick and fast. No one really knows how to value it but i think it's probably building the best business model of all 4 of the portfolio companies and I'm bullish on Microsalt
