By any measure, the NZ agri tech company Halter has had a stonking year.
The company founded by Craig Piggot - who is also the CEO - is now a global leader in its sector.
This year alone it's raised $165m with the funding round led by US tech investor BOND, which has backed firms from Spotify to Airbnb.
Halter also reached the elusive "unicorn status" - that's when a private start up reaches a valuation of over US $1 billion - and its products have been recognised by the magazine Time in this year's Best Inventions list.
Craig Piggot started the firm nearly ten years ago, developing solar-powered cow collars and apps that allow farms here, and ranches in the US, to operate with virtual fencing.
Craig Piggot is sick, so Kathryn is joined instead by Halter President Andrew Fraser.
