Allbirds, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIRD) Joey Zwillinger CEO: “Climate Change Consumer Trends Driving Revenue Growth”
“…We have a tremendous runway in the global footwear and apparel industry which is estimated as of 2020 at $366 billion and $1.5 trillion respectively. And we are executing this at top of brand platform built around the most important consumer trend of this generation: climate change…We’re driving the top line primarily through three areas: one, our growing store portfolio; two, international expansion; and three, product innovation, which feels new customer growth and increases the lifetime value of existing customers..”
“…Strategic choices have enabled a strong and differentiated foundation. We have served over four million customers since we sold our first shoe in 2016, and we have maintained a Net Promoter Score greater than 80 in each quarter since Q1 2019. In fact, we logged the global cross-channel NPS of 86 in the first half of 2021. And that wonderful customer experience has led to strong repeat engagement with customer cohorts of a year or more coming back for a second purchase at a rate of 43%. This repeat purchase rate is notable for both the consistency of the high repeat rate, and because it comes from the narrow assortment we have had to-date. As we expand our product offering, we’re excited by the opportunity to utilize this expanded assortment, coupled with our technology and data advantage to grow repeat purchases. We are also energized by how many people have yet to learn about our brand. Our aided brand awareness is low, just 11% in the U.S. as of Q1 2021, with revenues in the trailing 12 months of $260 million…”

Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ: BITF) (TSX.V: BITF) CEO Emiliano Grodzki: “Bitcoin Miner Consolidation Is Coming – We’re Shopping for Acquisitions”
“…Today, we have a combined total of 10 farms in operation and development, with planed capacity of 404 megawatts and 48,000 miners slated for delivery in 2022. With our strengthened balance sheet and flexible capital plan, we are well positioned to reach our targeted exahash rate of 3 by March 31, 2022, and 8 by December 31, 2022….We’ve been actively looking at opportunities to buy companies and assets going back to last December. We only closed one of those transactions, and that was Washington for 24 megawatts. In terms of size, we wouldn’t be interested in looking at anything less than 10 to 20 megawatts of size, because that’s about the size that makes sense to make it worthwhile for us. We certainly are more attracted to the bigger opportunities where there’s scale…”
“…We’ve seen quite a few private company opportunities with mid-sized companies, but they don’t really have a distinctive advantage in terms of electricity contracts, and their miners have been getting old. They don’t have access to capital, they can’t upgrade their fleet and as a result, without an attractive electricity contract and an aging fleet. It’s not very attractive to us. But if there’s an opportunity that comes around, whether it’s private or public, where there is a good electricity contract, half decent team and a good layout, we’d be very interested in taking a look…And I expect we’ll continue to see opportunities, the lifecycle hypothesis suggests that there will be a consolidation in this industry coming. I think we’re just starting to see parts of it now. So our eyes are open. And because of our team and our expertise and deploying new facilities, I think we’re an attractive partner for anybody that wants to come to us, particularly given our growing international expertise…”
