The key advantage that elevate.io has it that it is Cloud Native and it has access to the BIRD patented software. I don't see BIRD agreeing to let competitors use their technology. So the ChromeBooks market is effecively closed off unless they have a way to make more memory available that does not sit on the ChromeBook. Apple and the others have very fast hardware but is it faster than BIRDs software?

Google certainly know BIRD because some years ago SBS said when he met them that he had solved a problem that they had tackled (with lots of manpower and money) and declared impossible and proceeded to show them.

I don't think that the silence from Alphabet, MSFT or AWS means that they are not interested. They must know that the market is growing very fast and AWS played a significant part in helping BIRD solve some of their problems. But they won't want to let their competitors get wind of what they may do so if anything is in the wind there will be NDAs. BIRD said they would not deal exclusively wih AWS and that implies they will not do so with any of the big 3. That seems a very sensible position. If I were a big player in Video Editing I would be very worried about elevate.io because it certainly looks like it has disruptive technology that it will be difficult to counter. The Figma fiasco shows that bids would be difficult to get accepted. If BIRD really can grow elevate.io exponentially (per SR/IM at the AGM) the problem is coming down the track like a TGV.

Well my target BIRD share price is $55 per share now.

Obviously I may be wrong - but then who knows..

If IM and SR are right in saying that they expect exponential growth think of a weekly trend: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,5096,10192,20384,.....

But they won't be starting from 1 and I suspect SR has some surprises in store e.g. we know that they have links with AWS, though not exclusively, so could they provide a friendly store front for elevate.io as it could become one of their largest users?

At the moment in regards to a target share price I'm sticking with SSBs £37 but having listened carefully to IM / SR and looked at the way it is being rolled out I think that might be several orders too low. Look at MSFT that could be bought at 8c at the beginning and the $460 where it is now - x 5750 - and BIRD share price would be £345. But MSFT doesn't come anywhere near BIRDs margins so that might be on the low side.

I am not scared,
Because I understand the disruptive technology Blackbird is using to create elevate.io . This technology has been well tested in the real world (Olympic games and most major sporting events) since the company was formed almost 25 years ago. It is also protected technology covered by at least 25 very valuable patents. The technology and these patents do not seem to be recognised in the share price.

I am a small investor,
Because of past major losses on AIM, in fact my whole pension, My family will only allow me to invest a month's salary. This is not a problem as I have followed this company since it formed. If the share price does x100 from 6p I will have recovered my pension. I see this happening within one year.

but would love to learn every day.
Like I say, have followed the company since it formed, I understand the technology, I now follow the share price as the world wakes up and learns about this amazing tech. It could be goodbye for YouTube and I say that seriously.

You can now actually use this technology for free to create watermark free videos at

IMHO. DYOR no investment advice intended.

This TA to follow is in my own opinion and not advice.


BIRD has had a constant drip seller for ages, which just created such a negative vibe and share price

Most who follow BIRD would have seen it...
Any decent update.

They would sell.

Not going to mention names but it was relentless.

Waterboarding PIs IMO

If you managed to keep the BIRD faith after that you are a true BIRDER IMO


I am, and they can all go and do you know what. I am all in..

Yes, ultimately it must be true that the share price will be underpinned primarily by the financial performance of the Blackbird business, given benign financial markets. The involvement of traders will inevitably cause artificial share price movements from time to time.

It is also true that currently, it is a relatively small number of investors who truly understand the detail of the huge potential for Blackbird to improve its financial performance in the relatively near future. The reason for this is that Blackbird's business is very technical and complex, and so needs alot of effort to understand.

In the meantime, positive factual informative news releases from the company will help current and future investors to understand the investment opportunity offered by Blackbird.

I believe that patience will deliver a great result.

"But can we get into double figures in the short term without news?"

If buys outnumber sells, then yes. I expect this to be the case as more elevate.io users become investors as they see the benefits of our disruptive technologies. I also expect the number of elevate.io users to increase exponentially, so the same should apply for share purchase volumes and share price

A point will come where the share price will reflect the quality of the elevate.io cloud services ie if a bug hit elevate.io, expect rapid down in share price until bug is fixed, but share price will continue to rise as features and users increase until we are acquired by, or we undermine the existing big players.

I believe the journey, from this point in time, is up all the way to £60 and beyond, with a few down blips on the way.

IMHO, DYOR, GLA.

SSBs chart shows that the BIRD share price has crossed the 59 day moving average and is now moving higher. Previously in a rally it reached 9p so that would be my first target. If the buyers keep their end up even that may be too low.

Even for AIM 10% is at the top end for spread on a quality share.

🤣 🤣 I'm not delusional, cynic1. Why? Because I haven't lost a single penny on BIRD/FBT shares despite the BIRD/FBT share price collapsing over the years. That's because I've never bought them! 😂 😂
I noticed that you only appear to post on BIRD and have been an advfn member since 2001. How much have you lost on BIRD/FBT shares over that time? I suspect you have never sold any of your BIRD/FBT shares and have continually averaged down. How much are your BIRD/FBT shares currently worth compared with the money you've spent on them over the years?
Yet you think I'm delusional! You're a fool cynic1. I've Filtered you as you have nothing worth saying.

Apologies in advance for the formatting but this looks to be an automated report on IM’s proposed salary review for agreement in the AGM.

Some Shareholders May Object To A Pay Rise For Blackbird plc's (LON:BIRD) CEO This Year
Key Insights
Blackbird will host its Annual General Meeting on 18th of June
Salary of UK£203.0k is part of CEO Ian McDonough's total remuneration
The total compensation is 42% less than the average for the industry
Over the past three years, Blackbird's EPS fell by 7.4% and over the past three years, the total loss to shareholders 86%
The disappointing performance at Blackbird plc (LON:BIRD) will make some shareholders rather disheartened. There is an opportunity for shareholders to influence management to turn the performance around by voting on resolutions such as executive remuneration at the AGM coming up on 18th of June. From our analysis below, we think CEO compensation looks appropriate for now.
See our latest analysis for Blackbird
Comparing Blackbird plc's CEO Compensation With The Industry
At the time of writing, our data shows that Blackbird plc has a market capitalization of UK£18m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of UK£211k for the year to December 2023. That's a notable decrease of 18% on last year. In particular, the salary of UK£203.0k, makes up a huge portion of the total compensation being paid to the CEO.
In comparison with other companies in the British Software industry with market capitalizations under UK£157m, the reported median total CEO compensation was UK£364k. Accordingly, Blackbird pays its CEO under the industry median. What's more, Ian McDonough holds UK£464k worth of shares in the company in their own name.
On an industry level, roughly 64% of total compensation represents salary and 36% is other remuneration. Investors will find it interesting that Blackbird pays the bulk of its rewards through a traditional salary, instead of non-salary benefits. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.
A Look at Blackbird plc's Growth Numbers
Blackbird plc has reduced its earnings per share by 7.4% a year over the last three years. It saw its revenue drop 32% over the last year.
Overall this is not a very positive result for shareholders. And the fact that revenue is down year on year arguably paints an ugly picture. It's hard to argue the company is firing on all cylinders, so shareholders might be averse to high CEO remuneration. While we don't have analyst forecasts for the company, shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has Blackbird plc Been A Good Investment?
The return of -86% over three years would not have pleased Blackbird plc shareholders. So shareholders would probably want the company to be less generous with CEO compensation.
In Summary...
Ian receives almost all of their compensation through a salary. Given that shareholders haven't seen any positive returns on their investment, not to mention the lack of earnings growth, this may suggest that few of them would be willing to award the CEO with a pay rise. At the upcoming AGM, management will get a chance to explain how they plan to get the business back on track and address the concerns from investors.
CEO compensation is an important area to keep your eyes on, but we've also need to pay attention to other attributes of the company. In our study, we found 4 warning signs for Blackbird you should be aware of, and 1 of them is a bit unpleasant.
