Recognition by Great Place To Work® highlights Bizcap’s commitment to building a high-performance culture where women thrive

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bizcap has been recognised as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women 2026 by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture. The prestigious list honours 50 organisations across Australia that are proving exceptional business performance and inclusive, equitable workplace culture go hand in hand.

The recognition follows a rigorous assessment process, including confidential employee feedback, detailed analysis of organisational culture, and insights from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). This data-driven evaluation ensures that recognised companies demonstrate a genuine and measurable commitment to advancing women in the workplace.

This focus has supported Bizcap’s continued growth across multiple international markets.

The award comes after Bizcap was named one of the Best Workplaces™ in Australia in 2025.

Building a culture where women lead and thrive

Since its inception, Bizcap has been committed to building an inclusive, high-performance culture where people have equal access to opportunity and leadership. Bizcap’s inclusion on the 2026 list recognises that commitment in action and the progress made in creating clear pathways for women to build enduring careers and step into senior leadership roles across commercial, operational and strategic functions that drive long-term value creation.

This has been supported through targeted leadership development, transparent performance frameworks, flexible work practices and a strong focus on psychological safety, ensuring women across the organisation are empowered to influence strategy, lead teams and drive measurable outcomes.

Rebecca del Rio, Bizcap’s Deputy CEO (APAC) and Global Chief Revenue Officer, said the recognition reflects deliberate action rather than aspiration.

“At Bizcap, we believe high performance and inclusive leadership are inseparable. This recognition is a testament to the intentional work we’ve done to create an environment where women are empowered to lead, innovate and drive commercial outcomes,” she said.

“When women have equal access to leadership pathways, our business benefits. Diverse perspectives strengthen our strategy, improve risk calibration, challenge conventional thinking and ultimately enhance our ability to compete. That philosophy extends beyond gender. From the very beginning, we have intentionally built teams with complementary strengths and experiences because diversity of thought makes us more innovative, more resilient and better aligned to the clients we serve.”

Bizcap’s Senior People and Culture Manager Kirsty Nixon said it was important to note that this recognition is grounded in direct employee feedback.

“It tells us our people feel supported and confident in their ability to grow here. From the beginning, our founders and senior leadership team have been aligned on building a true meritocracy, where advancement is driven by performance, capability and impact,” she said.

“We hold our leaders to high standards in fostering that environment, ensuring opportunity is tangible, expectations are clear and performance is consistently recognised,” said Bizcap’s Co-Founder and CEO Zalman Blachman.

“Our People and Culture team plays a critical role as a partner to leadership, helping embed these standards across the organisation so they are experienced consistently at every level,” he said.

What sets Bizcap apart

As a non-bank lender providing fast, flexible working capital to small and medium-sized businesses globally, Bizcap understands the value of agility, innovation and strong partnerships. Internally, this translates into:

• A culture of psychological safety where diverse perspectives are encouraged
• Clear career progression pathways and leadership development programs
• Flexible work arrangements that support performance and wellbeing
• Transparent remuneration and advancement frameworks
• Leadership development initiatives supporting women across commercial, operational and executive functions.

Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia and New Zealand, said:

“These companies aren’t just talking about gender equity, they’re proving it works. They’ve created cultures where psychological safety, flexible work, and career development aren’t buzzwords, they’re business strategies delivering measurable results for employees and shareholders alike.”

By maintaining clear standards of opportunity and advancement as it scales, Bizcap continues to demonstrate that strong culture drives strong performance.

SYDNEY, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Great Place To Work^®, the global authority on workplace culture, today announces the 2026 list of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women, recognising 50 organisations that have proven it’s possible to deliver exceptional business performance while still creating cultures where women can thrive at every level. 

Each company on this year’s list has earned its place following a rigorous assessment of confidential employee feedback representing the voices of 23, 478 women across Australia, a detailed analysis of organisational culture, and insights from the official Workplace Gender Equality Agency.

“These companies aren’t marking their own homework – the bar is genuinely high,” said Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia and New Zealand. “This list only champions employers that back their commitments on flexibility, fair pay and women in leadership with real numbers and real experiences.”

Who Made The Official 2026 List Of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ For Women? 

From pioneering fintech leaders like Docusign and Prospa, to established industry leaders like Adobe, Brown Brothers Wine Group and Mattel, this year’s Best Workplaces for Women are all distinguished by:

• Inclusive leadership accountability
• Pay transparency and fair recognition
• Flexible, human-centered work design
• Career progression for all

As well as structured mentorships and active sponsorship for women in key decision-making roles.

“These workplaces aren’t just waiting for equity to happen,” said Rebecca Moulynox. “They’ve embedded fairness into everyday decision-making, creating cultures where flexibility, psychological safety, and growth opportunities are pillars of performance.”

Despite steady awareness gains, the research shows many women still report unequal access to advancement opportunities and lingering disparities in representation at the senior level. Yet at the best workplaces, these gaps are narrowing. Women in top-ranked organisations are twice as likely to say they have an equal chance to grow their careers and three times more likely to describe their leaders as fair and inclusive.

Since 1992, we have surveyed more than 100 million employees worldwide and used those deep insights to define what makes a great workplace.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted operating profit represents income from continuing operations, before income taxes, excluding share-based compensation expenses, one-time transactions, and other expense (income), net. Adjusted operating profit per share represents adjusted operating profit divided by our weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis. Adjusted net income represents net income attributable to the Company, excluding share-based compensation expenses, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and one-time transactions. Adjusted operating expenses represent total operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses and one-time transactions.

We believe that adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in income before income taxes, net income, and total operating expenses. We believe that adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses provide useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to income before income taxes, earnings per share, net income attributable to the Company, and total operating expenses or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP and GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Definitions

“Customer assets” refer to the sum of the fair value of all equities, ETFs, options, warrants, futures, digital assets and cash held by customers in their Webull brokerage accounts, net of customer margin balances, as of the record date. While customer assets are significantly impacted by mark-to-market valuations of customers’ investments and digital holdings, we consider customer assets an important metric as growth in customer assets generally leads to an increase in trading volumes and revenue.

“DARTs” refer to daily average revenue trades, which is the number of customer trades executed during a given period divided by the number of trading days in that period. DARTs provide us information on how active our customers trade.  A limitation of this metric is that it does not capture the size of the trade and revenue per trade varies significantly depending on size and type of trades.

“Funded accounts” refer to Webull brokerage accounts into which the customer has made an initial deposit or money transfer, of any amount, whose account balance (which is measured as the fair value of assets in the customer’s account less the amount due from the customer) has not dropped to or below zero for 45 consecutive calendar days as of the record date. Funded accounts reflect unique customers, and multiple funded accounts by a single customer are counted as one funded account. Growth in our funded accounts provides insight as to the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and our ability to acquire monetizable customers. Funded accounts are positively correlated with, but are not determinative, of customer assets, trading volumes, and revenue.

“Options contracts volume” refers to the total number of options contracts bought or sold over a specified period of time. Options contracts volume directly drives our options trading revenue, as we earn payment for order flow or commissions for customers’ options trades on a per contract basis. However, options contracts volume is highly sensitive to market conditions in the short-term, which makes predicting our options trading revenue with precision difficult.

“Registered users” refer to those users who have registered on our platform but not necessarily have opened a brokerage account with one of our licensed broker-dealers. Growth in our registered users provides insight as to the popularity of the Webull App. While we do not generate revenue from registered users who do not have brokerage accounts with us, registering an account on the Webull App is the first step toward opening and funding a brokerage account with us.

Contra Revenue Impact 

Most of our platform users are not considered customers under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and promotional payments made to these platform users are accounted for as a marketing and branding expense. Conversely, for our platform users who have been determined to be customers under ASC 606, we account for these promotional payments as a reduction in revenue (i.e., “contra revenue”). The following presents how contra revenue impacted our revenues.

NEW YORK and SIPPY DOWNS, Australia, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fedcap, 90-year old global non-profit advancing economic mobility and wellbeing, today announced the acquisition of The Community Collective QLD (TCCQ), a Queensland-based provider of disability support and employment services in the Sunshine Coast region. This marks Fedcap’s strategic expansion into the Australian market, strengthening its international network of service organisations dedicated to empowering people with disabilities and other barriers to full participation in sustainable employment.

The Community Collective QLD is a registered provider under Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), delivering a broad suite of services that support participants’ independence, community participation, employment pathways, and life skill development.

“We are pleased to welcome The Community Collective QLD into the Fedcap family,” said Christine McMahon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fedcap. “This acquisition brings Fedcap’s decades of experience addressing persistent unemployment to the Australian market. It also creates an opportunity to integrate Australia’s best practices, including TCCQ’s model, into our broader international portfolio. By pairing our expertise with TCCQ’s strong, person-centred programming for people with disabilities, we are positioned to scale impact and create durable pathways to employment and community participation.”

The Community Collective QLD is a registered NDIS provider delivering comprehensive, person-centred supports that empower individuals with disabilities to build independence, participate fully in their communities, and pursue meaningful employment. The organisation works closely with participants to strengthen capacity and daily living skills, set and achieve personal goals, and develop greater autonomy. Through structured group programs and individualised supports, TCCQ fosters social connection, community participation, and skill development, enabling participants to engage confidently in local events and initiatives.

A core focus of the organisation is supporting young people as they transition from school to employment. TCCQ provides tailored, hands-on guidance to help participants identify career interests, build work readiness, and map out practical pathways toward sustained employment. Complementing these services, TCCQ delivers allied health supports, including face-to-face and telehealth counselling and social work services, to promote wellbeing, advocate for participant needs, and ensure steady progress toward individual goals.

Its registered NDIS support categories span community participation, behavioural support, daily living skill development, travel and transport assistance, employment preparation and retention, and specialised supported employment services – offering an integrated framework designed to advance independence, stability, and long-term economic participation.

“We’ve always been committed to creating meaningful outcomes for individuals with disabilities and their families across Queensland,” said Brendon and Sarah McIntosh, Co-Directors of The Community Collective QLD. “Joining forces with Fedcap, which has more than 90 years of extraordinary programs, enables us to deepen our impact and bring global best practices to our local community.”

Over the past seven-plus years, The Community Collective QLD has supported more than 1,000 individuals, consistently meeting or exceeding all Disability Employment Quality Standards while placing over 400 people into employment. For the past five consecutive years, the organisation has outperformed the national Disability Employment average. Today, TCCQ continues this strong trajectory, actively supporting approximately 150 individuals, with a growing waitlist reflecting sustained demand for its services.

The integration aims to deliver broader resources, shared expertise, and innovative program design to support participants with diverse needs and ambitions. As part of Fedcap’s international network, The Community Collective QLD will benefit from collaborative learning, evidence-based approaches, and cross-regional opportunities to strengthen service quality and outcomes.

NEW YORK, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yard robotics manufacturer Yarbo’s newly launched M Series surpassed US$1 million in funding within 2 hours on Kickstarter, backed by over 200 supporters, reflecting clear market interest ahead of its official retail and strong demand for a modular, all-season yard robot designed for everyday homes.

After debuting the M Series at CES 2026, Yarbo launched the product through a Kickstarter crowdfunding from March 4 to April 20. Built on Yarbo’s modular DNA, the M Series delivers an intelligent, automated approach to everyday yard care while helping reduce time and operational complexity. Key highlights include:

1. One Core, Four Jobs.

The M Series supports interchangeable modules for every season, from mowing and trimming to leaf collection and snow clearing. Powered by a universal Core, the system replaces multiple single-purpose outdoor machines.

2. Easy Setup – Drop, Map, Go.

The M Series delivers a low learning curve and setup in minutes. Users can simply place the robot on the lawn, map the area, and let it get to work automatically—without buried wires, ladders, or complex calibration.

3. Compact Size. Strong performance.

The M Series delivers up to 220 lbs of towing capacity for demanding yard tasks, climbs slopes up to 35° (70%), and crosses 2-inch steps with ease. It navigates complex terrain such as pavers, roots, and uneven surfaces while reaching narrow mowing zones along fences and edges that bulkier machines often miss, all while remaining easy to push, store, and maintain.

4. High-Speed Wireless Charging. Replaceable Battery.

The high-power wireless charging system charges the 10 Ah battery from 10% to 90% in about 30 minutes, delivering up to three times faster charging than traditional charging methods while significantly reducing downtime and maximizing daily coverage.

With the M Series, Yarbo brings a solution designed to handle the complex terrain of standard residential yards, such as narrow pathways and tighter outdoor spaces. To better serve homeowners with different yard sizes, the M Series also offers multiple battery options, enabling a more tailored balance of runtime, coverage, and performance for individual yard care needs.

“The success of the M Series launch on Kickstarter highlights a shift in consumer demand toward versatile, autonomous yard care solutions,” said Kenneth Kohlmann, Co-Founder and VP at Yarbo. “This new series represents a pivotal expansion for Yarbo, allowing us to scale our vision of the smart yard to a much broader market. We are thrilled by the campaign’s momentum and look forward to bringing the new M Series to our growing community.”

The M Series is now live on Kickstarter, offering exclusive early-backer pricing starting at $2,099. Supporters can back the campaign and reserve their unit through Kickstarter.
