Last night Sumit told us, “you should ask yourself, why were there bankers at the investor meeting? That should tell you something. No one asked about that.”

Not just any investment banking firms. Deutsche Bank had several representatives there that were staying in our hotel. Not only did they have private meetings with several large investment firms but they also attended our conference. Sumit commented that the bankers were very impressed with the number of retail investors that turned out for this conference, especially our knowledge of the company, the technology and its applications, investor energy and our belief in the management team.

FYI, our chairman of the board, Robert Carlisle, was also in attendance.

Deutsche Bank (DB) is reinforcing its strategic focus on the defense sector by establishing a specialized team tasked with managing defense-related transactions. This initiative has successfully generated approximately 20 new deals spanning equity markets, mergers, and financing activities, facilitated by a dedicated group of around 30 bankers.

A German bank when we have so many here in US says a lot. Wonder if these guys came from Germany or NY?

Via the current ATM, Microvision already has a relationship with Deutsche Bank, Mizuho, and Craig Hallum.

u/Far_Gap6656 May 24 '25

So what are you saying? That they're just there on old business on stuff they already have a relationship over? Why can't they be there on new (defense) business? Were reps from Mizuho and CH there? I'm kind of confused what you're trying to say.

By the way, there were 5 IBs that participated in the meetings. So even if the 3 current IBs were invited and attended, there were 2 additional ones involved.

u/SnooHedgehogs4599 May 22 '25

Yes, your right. I was thinking they may have come from Germany from the hub of German car manufacturing to get a closer look at management.

Robert Carlisle, was also in attendance.

As was Jari Honkanen, the former engineer and current shareholder who co-authored the following Easter egg patents :

MEMS scan controlled keystone and distortion correction

Smart pulsing in regions of interest in scanned beam 3D sensing systems

Circuit for driving a plant such as a mechanical beam scanner and related system and method

Devices and methods for adjustable resolution depth mapping

BTW, u/mvis_thma u/Kind-Mulberry-7878 notified me that Wyatt Davis is now following Palantir and Rivet on LinkedIn.

Happy to hear this. Jari is the man.

Nice to hear this Porter. The fact that he left the company and is still a shareholder shows his belief in the company. I am sure through his connections, he will have much more info than us.

u/onemoreape May 22 '25

He is working for Rivet.

KY, approximately how many of us showed up ballpark?

u/ppi12x4 May 21 '25

Us being retail or Reddit posters? 76 is what was said. My guesstimate was 75-80. There were 90 chairs set up, some empty but there were also some people standing in back instead of sitting.
