G'day,

Your location is big, big business.

As Life360 completes a dual listing in the US, we take a look inside the location-based economy and how the company plans to grow its empire.

One Australian start-up which is banking on the great wealth transfer has raised $14.6m as it looks to cement its place as the short-term lender bridging the gap for homeowners looking to buy before they sell.

Meanwhile, projection is having a moment. Not the kind therapists often come across but devices which can render a 4K image on your bedroom wall. We take LG’s latest, the CineBeam Q, for a spin.

Lastly, the next big hurdle in electric vehicle adoption isn’t convincing Australians to switch over but rather the rollout of EV charging infrastructure, Uber’s local boss says.
