When BIRD flies any buyer will have to be incredibly quick... hours if not seconds will see buyers priced out. The danger is that US investors wake up and a wall of $$$ will swamp the market locking out potential UK investors. When BIRD takes off it will become simple arithmetic and what we already know now will in time push the share price up to levels rarely seen in the UK.

I think we are at 8p because very few investors are aware of the deep detail of Blackbird's proven IP excellence and the plans for elevate.io
There hasn't been alot of publicity to draw investors' attention. I expect that will come when it is launched in Q1. I feel it would be best to hold back until the publicity is accompanied by a seriously advanced elevate with it's subscription model available. That way people won't just judge a part finished product.
In my opinion, the share price has been seriously held down for many months due to several large institutional investors selling millions of Blackbird shares, probably due to a combination of them not understanding the detail about Blackbird and it's significant potential, and also they may have been liquidating various shares that they hold due to their investors redemptions. There was news yesterday about Liontrust suffering from investors redemptions.

When Blackbird are ready to press the GO button, I feel sure that the share price will rise quickly to a more sensible level. IMHO

I’m not convinced we should be relying on ‘typical’; individual AIM investors to buy shares to get some valuation move.

Investor roadshow for high net investors across the globe, tech partners and private equity.
Plenty of money out there looking for something with high fast global growth.

AIM trades are £1k - £7k a pop so looking at the wrong investment market imho

Hi folks

Firstly, well done on the level of communication between board contributors and the in-depth knowledge some possess as well as the continual questioning of knowledge, ideas and viewpoints. Thank you.

A new follower and investor here just trying to get my head around and understand the real opportunity, so thought I would Google 'video editor' to see what turns up in terms of possible competition.

Well, a plethora of options were listed as I expected, with all stating 'free download' which I understand will be for the more inexperienced or new user getting to know how things are structured and work, as well as users who are content to produce less demanding or less important or less frequent videos.

So, I started to try and find a pricing structure behind all the 'free' blurb, which was not always easily found. However I did find the following from Canva one of our soon to be competitors and wondered how our mentioned £25 to £35pm. Av. pricing model would stack up against their £100pa. 'Pro' price point!

It clearly lists what you get for your money on the 'Canva free' and then the 'Canva Pro' additional benefits columns and I as a layman would like to know the clear differentials that are going to 'elevate' the Blackbird video creator and editor to be a real competitor and leader in the sector, that will be worth the extra cost.



For possible investors that are new to investigating and subsequently investing in this sector with Blackbird, it is vital that clear differentiators are known and understood, to fuel other investors to take at least an initial position and subsequently boost the share price as we progress. It seems to me that this is missing at the moment as this information may not be clear cut or easily extracted.

Also, I believe I can see the huge potential in this sector but all new users or wannabe video creators will probably start on a 'free' version and then upgrade, if they progress to that next level. So, it is vital that we can attract many newcomers to fuel the future take up, as well as attract the more experienced users wanting to move and upgrade from where they are if they see they can make good use of the advantages. This will surely mean a permanent 'free' user option to be able to compete and wondered if this could be time limited as I am not sure I have seen this mentioned, mainly to encourage and force the issue of upgrading! If elevate.io is going to be as good as some know and believe, creators will really not want to loose access to this facility.

Hope you can understand that I still have a lot to learn!

"So that’s been my input here but it’s been impossible to overcome the huge negativity and depression that built."

Nick

yes, product experience is indeed a valuable part of understanding...

but I feel you are missing the point....with regards the requirements of investors ... here or anywhere else ... you can see now that investors are becoming happy with the fact that the BOD has been sufficiently strengthened and that there is the required skill set to get the product to market ( some investors will have demanded that regardless of the product infrastructure ) ..and that there is a clearer path towards product monetisation and use of funds ..

I tend to be someone who is more demanding of a BOD where I invest ....I suspect someone like Bonio is too... hence I question more ... I asked around 6 questions yesterday and had more ..

Investors should be demanding of their BOD ...

"elevate is an exceptional video editing experience it’s easy for me to know but I accept impossible for investors."

sorry Nick but investors are looking at things with a different hat on... they like to see targets,timelines, financial accountability ..they want to be sure the BOD have the right financial plan and and right delivery plan in terms of getting a product to market ..hence a lot of questions and a desire for transparency and detail

Investors are more demanding over the use of their money than just having "belief"

"What we need is a wave of new investors who see a huge opportunity for Blackbird!"

We should make it clear to users of elevate.io that Blackbird is listed on the stock market. Maybe add an investor button on elevate.io Impressed users of elevate.io may then boost the share price

Or maybe a "Powered by Blackbird" button linked to a subtle investors page.

IMHO
What we are seeing is small (buying/mainly selling) in Blackbird for the following reasons:
1. Maybe some institutional investors need cash for whatever reason.
2. Some individual investors need cash for whatever reason.
3. There are few new investors because so few people know anything about Blackbird's potential, after years of unimpressive annual accounts as they have been finding their best way forward.
4. Existing investors have bought all the shares they can justify.

Those of us who have followed Blackbird closely can see they they are now heading towards a major step forward.

Nobody should think for one moment that the current poor share price performance is connected in anyway at all to where Blackbird are heading during the next 12 months.

The new directors are career professionals with excellent track records. There is no way that they would be getting involved right now if Blackbird's future potential is reflected in the current low and falling share price.

I would suggest that we just need to ignore the current share price. If some more funds are needed in early 2025, then I don't doubt that at, that stage, they will find them.

We lost Schroders as an institutional investor. The long journey to profitability eventually became too long for them. Having said that, the calibre of hires improving the last few years which I put down to Ian's management since arrival. The change in board members during the last year seems to be reflective of the change in staff and the focus of product we are about to deliver to the wider market. Half year results shall be one of spending and further losses, with info about "summer games" adding to revenue and maybe a little news on the EVS product usage/progress. Be nice to hear if TownNews is continuing to expand our use and the "financial news broadcaster" remaining pleased with our offering and continue to use. Though we know the concentration of investors will be on the Elevate time line.

We are hidden away on AIM with a market cap of less than £25m. Some day/short term traders can have their fun. Long term investors with knowledge of the Blackbird team and product will be happy with the news today and see as an additional stepping stone in the companies journey. A jigsaw piece added to the Blackbird puzzle which when complete will show a company with product and capability to turn a profit which will then attract attention and investors in size.
