ARCANUM AI

Bot to Trot
 

Arcanum AI is making generative AI practical for small and medium businesses, with its Numa platform acting as a multitasking productivity assistant. 

From summarising documents to drafting policies, Numa connects securely to business data and keeps everything private. 

“We’re proving New Zealand can lead in advanced AI innovation—true business growth without compromise,” says Founder and CEO Asa Cox (pictured). 

With 11 staff and a 12% growth rate, Arcanum’s six-year AWS partnership gives them early tech access and credibility. 

Their ‘build together’ philosophy means customer feedback shapes every feature. 

The team thrives on solving new challenges, and regular retros keep staff engaged.

After launching Numa and winning positive reviews, Arcanum’s next goal is to take Kiwi-grown AI to SMBs beyond Australasia.

“It’s not just what we’ve built — it’s who’s building it. Our team brings global market experience, but it’s our values and shared ownership that make the difference,” says

REBIT MONEY TRANSFER

Borderless Bucks
 

Rebit Money Transfer is making international payments fair, fast, and transparent for migrants and small businesses overlooked by big players.

They’ve helped 1,200+ verified customers move over $7 million in 2024, with a 40.8% sales boost and a 4.9 Trustpilot rating.

“It’s not just about transfers; it’s about empowerment and connection” says Co-founder Mahtab Assadian (pictured right with Co-founder Ali Haghnia).

Rebit’s platform uses stablecoins behind the scenes to manage payments efficiently, but customers experience only low-cost, secure transfers and biometric onboarding, without any exposure to cryptocurrency complexities.

When a banking partner pulled out, Rebit pivoted to a peer-to-peer model, proving their resilience.

Now, they’re expanding into Australia and Canada, aiming to be the go-to for underserved remittance corridors worldwide.
