There are regulations a broker a number of institutional investors a Chairman and a no executive board of directors and employees who are also investors.

But if you want to worry about it then yes!

I'd like to add another point on the +ve side.

There is no point acquiring a small, innovative, dynamic company too early

before the tech is ready.
before all the patents are in place.
before it is fully proven.
before it has at least some, raving fans as users
before the small, dynamic team have taken it as far as they can/should themselves

There's a lot of legwork to be done getting these things right. Just like majors aren't interested in mining minnows, even with the best deposits until it's all proven up, mining licences gained, feasibility studies completed.

There are years of donkey work there that a major just couldn't do.

So it's similar with a suitor for BIRD. There's no point integrating it into a behemoth like AWS, Adobe, Apple, Google, MSFT, META until it's genuinely ready.

In the wrong hands it wouldn't make the right progress.
Done too early - it wouldn't have the same impact.

So then it's a question of whether the tech is genuinely ready and if/when it is - how will we know that.

Quite a few have said BIRD have already proven the tech but I'm not sure on that yet. Their user feedback for the elevate event was very good but it will take time.

It also remains to be seen how many pro features they are able to successfully integrate from their M&E capabilities and into elevate.

I would say we are all early investors here. Just some investors are earlier than others!

So building the world’s fastest Cloud video editor at a highly accessible price which is clearly a next generation video editing platform should have no value in a multi billion dollar market?

To me I suspect you are a business investor rather than a technology investor ie later stage investor and that’s fine Blackbird is not for you.

NickB - you get a bit defensive as soon as there is any criticism of BIRD. I think I'm asking valid investor questions? The story has changed but few really acknowledge it.

If BIRD have the world's best and fastest cloud video editor then yes, of course that should be of interest to Apple, AWS, Google, Adobe.

But that's a big IF and is yet to be proven. Or at least - it's yet to be proven to the people who matter - which is Apple, AWS, Google, Adobe.

It's certainly not proven by the minimal revenues generated by BIRD or by the number of users using elevate so far, or the zero revenues from elevate.

So we should just stay a little sceptical. Would you agree?

As for your....."it might not be for you" line. That's a bit sales pitch-y if you ask me. I like your optimistic approach but your perma-positive position makes me suspect if you get paid by the company at all?

As for your suspicions about me about being a late stage investor, no that's not the case. I invest in all sorts from early stage to late stage.

But on that point....we're 26 years in here!

Are we classing this one as early stage or late stage?

That’s an interesting idea as we are going around in circles with different mindsets


I think there are 3 main camps

1. Normal business investors
2. Tech growth investors (elevate opportunity)
3. Tech growth + exit via acquisition

I think I should at least keep most of my posts on the guild

Plus you all know my position so nothing more to add.

Agreed.

Investors shouldn’t clog up the Q&A.

It’s for editors etc.

Investors just listen in.

Options to feather their nest even more, and what beats me, they say they are performance related but do not state what the basis figure is.

Over 7% of the shares are now available as options but long suffering investors get stuffed.

Hence why these days it pays to be a short term gambler, as directors not only get fat salaries but rather than invest their own money, mine the companies other investors and let then carry the can each time it goes wrong.

"BIRD needs to provide a reason for people to invest and that means contracts and revenue"

The value in Blackbird is not about its profits, but the company showing what can be done with its disruptive technology, it's about education and selling that technology on to a company that understands it and can make full use of it to make massive profits. It's the codec and connected software, along with IP that will make us billions. It won't be AIM investors who dictate the SP, it will be a big corporation. One day share price will be 6p next day it will be £3+ and that overnight rise will never come from AIM private investors as these investors just don't understand this business model. IMHO.

Personally I want to to see quality of users playing and testing not quantity at this very early public stage.

FCA link to Deferred Publication Thresholds:


And nice summary from ChatGPT as to why they are allowed...

The Deferred Publication Regime (DPR) is an important aspect of stock market operations, particularly for larger trades. The rationale behind implementing a DPR in markets like the AIM (Alternative Investment Market) involves several key considerations:

1. Minimizing Market Impact: Large trades can significantly influence the market price of a security. By delaying the publication of such trades, the DPR helps to mitigate immediate, potentially drastic impacts on the stock's price. This is especially important in smaller or less liquid markets like AIM, where large trades can disproportionately affect market dynamics.

2. Facilitating Block Trades: Investors dealing in large volumes (like institutional investors) often find it challenging to execute big orders without affecting the market price adversely. DPR allows these investors to execute large transactions ('block trades') more effectively, as the delay in reporting gives them time to manage the market impact and liquidity concerns.

3. Encouraging Liquidity: By allowing large trades to be executed more discreetly, the DPR can encourage market participation by institutional investors who might otherwise be reluctant to engage in transactions that could immediately impact market prices. This participation can enhance overall market liquidity.

4. Maintaining Fairness and Order: DPR helps in maintaining an orderly market. Without such a regime, the sudden publication of large trades could lead to volatile price swings, which might be detrimental to market order and could potentially harm investor confidence.

5. Protecting Trade Strategies: Investors, particularly institutional ones, often have specific trade strategies that could be compromised if large trades were immediately made public. Deferred reporting helps in protecting these strategies from being prematurely revealed to the market.

6. Balancing Transparency and Efficiency: While transparency is crucial in financial markets, the DPR represents a balance between providing market information and ensuring that the market operates efficiently and fairly. It acknowledges that immediate disclosure of certain large trades could be counterproductive to market stability and investor interests.

In summary, the Deferred Publication Regime is designed to strike a balance between the need for transparency in market transactions and the practical considerations of executing large trades without unduly disrupting market prices or liquidity. This regime is particularly relevant in markets like AIM, where the impact of large trades can be more pronounced due to the market's size and nature.
