Laprade and Phillips: Instant Pot was a triumph cooked up in Ottawa
Article content During the summer, we'll carry occasional excerpts from Ottawa Made, a recently published compendium of stories about curious inventions, people and places in the national capital. Today: the origins of the Instant Pot. Article content Many parents find it challenging to prepare a wholesome, hot meal for their families each evening. Robert Wang and his wife, both entrenched in tech careers in Ottawa, were no exception. Balancing work with the needs of their young children, aged four and eight, was a daily struggle. Article content Article content Article content One day Wang set out to resolve this common parental dilemma. The result was the Instant Pot. Article content This innovative appliance could perform a multitude of cooking functions, from pressure cooking and slow cooking to steaming and even making yogurt. Wang's invention was an immediate hit, its popularity buoyed by numerous online communities dedicated to the appliance. Enthusiastic cooks shared recipes, shortcuts, and tips, and a variety of cookbooks soon followed. Article content Instant Pot's marketing emphasized not only the time saved in meal preparation and clean-up, but also the energy efficiency compared to traditional cooking methods. Health-conscious consumers were particularly targeted, with promotions highlighting the retention of more nutrients due to shorter cooking times Article content 'My hero is Steve Jobs… He excelled in design and truly understood his customers' needs,' Wang said in a 2018 interview with CNBC. Article content Article content Emigrating from Harbin, China, in the mid-'90s, Wang drew inspiration from the electric pressure cookers popular in his homeland, which featured microprocessors and multiple sensors. He soon identified a flaw in the design of the Crock Pot, which he saw as his main competition. With the Crock Pot, you needed to plan dinner amidst the hectic morning routines of a young family. Article content Article content After 18 months and an investment of $300,000 from his personal savings, Wang launched the first Instant Pot on Amazon in 2010. Initially partnered with two unnamed associates, Wang continued solo for six months after they abandoned the project before welcoming two new partners, former Blackberry employees Yi Qin and Dongjun Wang. Article content A significant challenge was the limited kitchen space available to homeowners, prompting the team to create a device that offered numerous functions. Some models boasted as many as 10 different uses including cake-making. Article content The first Instant Pot sold for $140 (U.S.) and the product's success reached a high point in 2015, when 215,000 units were sold on Amazon Prime Day, more than any other product.

Billionaires Buy a Brilliant Growth Stock That Has Partnered With Amazon
Key Points Most Wall Street analysts view Roku as undervalued; the median target price of $105 per share implies 28% upside from its current share price of $82. Roku is the leading streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and The Roku Channel is the fifth-most popular streaming service in the U.S. Roku recently formed an exclusive partnership with Amazon, giving media buyers that use Amazon's ad buying platform more precise targeting capabilities. 10 stocks we like better than Roku › A handful of billionaire hedge fund managers purchased shares of Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) in the first quarter. Here's a look: Cliff Asness at AQR Capital Management added 467,005 shares of Roku, increasing his stake sixfold though it remains a small position. Stanley Druckenmiller at Duquesne Family Office bought 493,600 shares of Roku, starting a modest position that ranks among his 30 largest holdings. Chris Rokos at Rokos Capital Management bought 54,690 shares of Roku, starting a new and relatively small position. Steven Schonfeld at Schonfeld Strategic Advisors bought 68,886 shares of Roku, starting a new and relatively small position. Wall Street analysts generally agree Roku is undervalued. The median target price is $105 per share, which implies 28% upside from its current share price of $82. Here's what investors should know. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Roku is the most popular streaming platform in North America Roku is the leading streaming platform in North America as measured by hours streamed, and Roku OS is the best-selling TV operating system in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In addition, The Roku Channel is the fifth most popular streaming service in the U.S., behind only Alphabet 's YouTube, Netflix, Walt Disney, and Amazon Prime Video. Put simply, Roku is ideally positioned to benefit as advertisers spend more on connected TV (CTV). Some readers may be surprised to learn traditional TV advertising is still a larger market than CTV advertising, and it's expected to be the larger market until 2028. But CTV ad spending is forecast to grow at 12% annually through 2029, according to eMarketer. Jeremy Deal, portfolio manager at JDP Capital Management, writes, "The Roku operating system and The Roku Channel are valuable assets that are highly under-monetized today." Deal says The Roku Channel alone is probably worth more than the entire company's current market value, implying Roku is materially undervalued today. Roku's recent partnership with Amazon could be a meaningful growth driver Roku in June announced an exclusive partnership with Amazon. While Amazon's demand-side platform (DSP) is not the only media buying platform with access to Roku inventory, it is the only one that can use a custom identity solution to recognize logged-in viewers across the Roku platform in the United States. A press release from Roku explains, "This exclusive capability enables advertisers to reach the same viewer deterministically across different streaming channels and devices." The upshot for investors is brands on Amazon DSP can now target and measure ad campaigns with greater accuracy. In other words, Roku is now a more compelling place for marketers using Amazon DSP to spend their advertising dollars. Roku highlighted the benefits following an early test of the integration, "Advertisers using this new solution reached 40% more unique viewers with the same budget and reduced how often the same person saw an ad by nearly 30%, enabling advertisers to benefit from three times more value from their ad spend." Roku stock trades at a reasonable valuation Roku currently trades at 2.7 times sales, a discount to the two-year average of 2.8 times sales. That valuation looks quite reasonable for a company whose revenue is forecast to increase at 12% annually through 2027, especially when that consensus estimate leaves room for upside. As mentioned, CTV ad spending is forecast to grow at 12% annually through 2029, and Roku is well positioned to benefit given its status as the most popular streaming platform in North America. To that end, its revenue could certainly grow faster than 12% annually with help from its Amazon partnership. Long-term investors should feel comfortable buying a small position in this growth stock today. Should you invest $1,000 in Roku right now?
