VisionWave Secures Strategic $50 Million Equity Line to Accelerate AI-Driven Defense Platform
This financing empowers VisionWave to execute on the strategic initiatives outlined in its investor presentation including the scaled deployment of its AI-powered multi-domain defense solutions across autonomous aerial, ground, and maritime systems.
Under the terms of the agreement, VisionWave has the right to sell up to $50 million in common stock over a 24-month period at its discretion, providing flexible, growth-focused capital. The investor also committed to funding $5 million through convertible notes to support immediate scaling efforts, of which, the first $3 million was funded upon entering into the funding agreement.
Importantly, the $5 million tranche funding includes protective covenants which prohibit the use of proceeds to pay any pre-existing liabilities accrued before the Company's business combination. This ensures that all capital raised is strictly designated for working capital and growth initiatives, reinforcing VisionWave's forward-focused strategy.
Noam Kenig, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave, stated:
"This funding commitment is more than just capital — it is a validation of our business model, our mission, and the extraordinary work our team has accomplished. With this support, we are positioned to accelerate delivery on our promises, enter new markets, and deepen engagements with defense and homeland security partners globally."
Douglas Davis, Chairman of VisionWave, added:
"Our business combination and public listing laid the foundation. This financing is the fuel. It provides us with the financial strength to scale operations, deliver cutting-edge technologies, and move faster than ever toward becoming a leader in intelligent defense systems. We viewed this investment as a mission to support national security innovation at a critical moment in time"
The proceeds from this financing will be used for working capital, product deployment, and continued innovation across VisionWave's defense technology platforms.

The Most Anticipated Stock Split of 2025 May Be Announced Later Today
Key Points Next to artificial intelligence (AI), excitement surrounding stock splits has been a dominant trend on Wall Street. Three prominent non-tech companies have announced and completed forward splits in 2025. Retail investors own more than 27% of the outstanding shares of what could become Wall Street's blockbuster stock-split stock of 2025. 10 stocks we like better than Meta Platforms › For much of the past three years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the hottest thing since sliced bread on Wall Street. But it's not the only trend investors have gravitated to. Euphoria surrounding stock splits in highly influential businesses has played a key second fiddle to AI. A stock split is a tool publicly traded companies have at their disposal to cosmetically adjust their share price and outstanding share count by the same factor. These adjustments are considered cosmetic in the sense that they don't alter a company's market cap or in any way effect its underlying operating performance. Though stock splits can increase or decrease a company's share price, investors perceive these actions very differently. Reverse splits, which increase a company's share price, are often avoided by investors since they're typically conducted from a position of operating weakness. Meanwhile, forward splits, which reduce a company's share price to make it more nominally affordable for everyday investors who can't buy fractional shares, are adored. This type of split is associated with businesses that are out-innovating and out-executing their competition. Additionally, public companies completing forward splits have a knack for outperforming Wall Street's benchmark stock indexes in the 12 months following their initial split announcement. This is why investors are always on the lookout for the next blockbuster stock-split stock. Although there's no guarantee of which premier business will take the plunge next, the most-anticipated potential stock split of 2025 may be announced later today by none other than social media colossus Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). 2025 is waiting on its first true blockbuster stock split announcement Last year, more than a dozen high-profile companies announced a split -- only one of which was of the reverse variety. Quite a few of these forward splits traced back to the tech sector, and more specifically AI stocks. Through nearly seven months of 2025, only three prominent businesses have announced and completed a stock split; and none are from the tech space. Though O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) wasn't the first to complete a split this year, it was the first notable public company to declare a split (15-for-1). In addition to the company benefiting from Americans hanging onto their vehicles for a longer period of time, O'Reilly has steadily repurchased shares of its stock since January 2011. Over the last 14 years and change, it's bought back roughly $26.6 billion worth of its common stock and retired almost 60% of its outstanding shares. This is having a decisively positive impact on earnings per share. Automated electronic broker Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ: IBKR) announced its first-ever forward split (4-for-1) in mid-April, which was completed two months later. All facets of Interactive Brokers' key performance indicators are rocketing higher, with customer accounts up 32% year-over-year, as of the end of June, and daily average revenue trades soaring 49% from the prior-year period. Its investments in technology and automation are paying dividends. Finally, wholesale industrial and construction supplies company Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) was the last of 2025's prominent stock-split announcements (2-for-1), but the first to actually complete its split. This marked the ninth time Fastenal has split since going public in 1987, which is a reflection of the company becoming more ingrained in industrial supply chains. Everything from internet-connected vending machines to inventory bin technology is helping Fastenal better understand its clients supply chain needs. While O'Reilly Automotive, Interactive Brokers Group, and Fastenal are amazing companies, they're not Wall Street blockbusters. If Meta Platforms was to announce its first-ever split when reporting its second-quarter operating results after the closing bell on July 30, it would be the undisputed star among 2025's stock-split stocks. Facebook parent Meta appears primed for a stock split To be clear, there's more to picking out Wall Street's next stock-split stock than just finding a public company with a high share price. Not all companies are interested in splitting their stock. Additionally, if retail investor ownership is minimal, there's not much of an incentive for a company's board to approve a split. Meta finds itself in the sweet spot where a stock split would make sense. Its board hasn't offered any opposition to the idea of a stock split, and more than 27% of its outstanding shares are held by retail investors. With Meta's share price consistently above $700 in recent weeks, the catalyst to make its stock more affordable for everyday investors is absolutely present. More importantly, the building blocks are in place for Meta stock to head even higher. Before delving into its AI ambitions, don't overlook the important role its social media platforms continue to play. Collectively, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, and Facebook Messenger helped to lure 3.43 billion people, on average, to its family of apps daily in the month of March. No other social media company comes particularly close to this figure, which allows Meta to charge a healthy premium for ad placements. To build on this point, ad-driven businesses are typically well-positioned for long-term success. Periods of economic expansion last substantially longer than recessions, which bodes well for ad-based operating models over the long run. Meta has pretty consistently generated 98% of its net sales from advertising. However, the company's future is very much dependent on the success of artificial intelligence. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is spending aggressively to build out his company's AI data centers. Some of this technology is already being incorporated into Meta's platforms, with generative AI solutions becoming available to businesses advertising on its social sites. Other aspects of AI will come into play years down the road, with Zuckerberg's company still aiming to be a critical on-ramp to the metaverse. Meta's cash-rich balance sheet and cash generation also suggest its stock isn't done heading higher. With more than $70 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities available, as of the end of March, and the company generating $24 billion in net cash from operations in the first three months of 2025, there's more than enough capital to direct to innovation, share buybacks, and dividends. The table is set for Meta Platforms to become Wall Street's most-anticipated stock-split stock of 2025. We'll know shortly if the company's board agrees.

Canada commits funding to joint AI safety effort with the U.K.
Canada is collaborating with the U.K. on a new artificial intelligence safety initiative as the U.S. pushes its vision of a zero-sum AI race that will see it remove guardrails on development and deployment of the burgeoning technology. Article content On Wednesday, Canada announced that it will commit $1 million to a $29 million joint AI safety effort with the U.K. that will bankroll research and commercial projects focused on keeping advanced AI systems in line — in other words, ensuring that they operate safely, reliably, and in a useful way, and without unintended or harmful actions. Article content Article content Article content 'Together, we're advancing cutting-edge research to ensure (the) next generation of AI systems are not only powerful but also reliable — serving societies here at home and around the world,' said minister of AI and digital innovation Evan Solomon in a statement. Article content The initiative, called the AI Alignment Project, is spearheaded by the U.K.'s AI Security Institute (AISI) and will involve the Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAISI) under the umbrella of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), a research organization focussed on innovation and deep tech. Other financial backers include enterprise partners such as Amazon Web Services, Inc. and venture firm the Safe AI Fund, and non-profits such as New-York headquartered Schmidt Sciences, LLC. Article content The project will provide grant funding for researchers across disciplines including computer and cognitive science; help organizations and individuals access venture capital investment; and secure 'compute,' the computational power needed to train and run AI models. The call for proposals, which launches Wednesday, will be open until September. Article content Article content Prominent AI experts including Canadian-French computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, known as one of the 'godfathers of AI,' will serve on the advisory board to help steer the effort and to select the successful proposals by November. Article content Article content Canada's participation in the U.K.-led AI safety effort fits into Ottawa's broader AI vision for Canada — one that involves building trust in, and adoption of, the technology — and lets Canadian researchers have a seat at the table when it comes to global efforts on AI safety, according to Elissa Strome, executive director of pan-Canadian AI strategy at CIFAR. There are 'few challenges more urgent than ensuring AI is safe, predictable, and beneficial for all,' she said. Article content The launch of the new initiative takes place amid broader shifts in the conversation on AI. As the tech becomes an increasingly important feature of national security and economic competition, the U.S. has peddled a light-touch regulatory approach, while jurisdictions such as the EU have championed tougher-on-tech rules. Industry groups and AI safety scholars have also clashed over how AI should be regulated, developed and deployed.
