"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.

you can see that the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd have some idea that throwing money at the game somehow creates success ...but everyone can see otherwise

so... my overall point here is ..don't be complacent and don't think that the success is in the bag

You to have as critical and detailed an eye as anyone ...

We have already had to provide feedback on some things which we already expected to have been there

You get the impression already that IM and SS think that private investors are all an easy push off, so it is about time private investors started pushing and demanding more from their invested money

" Massive opportunity with enormous upside but many investors don’t believe"


Opportunities can be squandered ...at this stage ...everyone has to keep their feet on the floor...and ..focus on the detail.... detail,detail,detail ...

investors are there to make sure the Company stays focused on what they have to achieve

Incidentally... I would love to know what Caroline Steiner does all day and how all the "customer success" is going ?

Anyone feeling vulnerable with the share price just read up on Sumit Rai's recommendations on linked in.Why would such a visionary such as himself come here? He knows it's that simple.So let's look at the worst-case scenario and say money runs out and we are not where we need to be. Are you saying someone won't come in and buy the IP? Even at a heavily discounted rate, we would achieve 30-40p.I believe they want to spend a short-term period (6 months-12 months) on creating SS baby in the way they want to. I have seen the twinkle in both their eyes IM & SS when they talk about what they believe the IP is worth. "We have had many discussions about Valuation" Clearly, they don't have the infrastructure to scale the business at the moment. This is why Elevate is being managed in an appropriate way with the budget they have. They absolutely have to grow organically with Elevate scaling at the appropriate time. Of course, the market doesn't see this they see a 20 year loss making company. This will instantly turn off investors. 99% of investors will do basic due diligence and move on. They will use statistical models and algorithms such as Investopedia and the like and immediately rule out companies like Blackbird. Yes, there have been headwinds to overcome. Yes, M&E is experiencing a change and significant difficulties, but why are they? Well, because there has been a shift in how the WORLD injests and consumes media. Is that going to change? No, it's not. What have Blackbird done? Well, several years ago, they identified this shift and focused on that. Today, that has now arrived. It is in its infancy, and it is a huge growth market that requires a solution. A solution which we have got. Sumit is building this in absolutely the correct way with the resources he has. We are not Manchester City. We are Accrington Stanley. Who are they? Exactly.See you at the Cup Final.

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

investors are going too fast!

ITS NOT A LAUNCH

Investors should watch the investor meet presentation

I have no problems with these placings. At this level AIM is a fundamentally illiquid market. Unless liquidity can be 'injected' through placings and other 'temporary off-market' MM activity, BB wouldn't be able to attract institutional investors and wouldn't have access to much-needed sources of capital. AIM would be a wasteland - and BB with it.
I get that we PIs are often the last to know - but...
1./ I've never been aware that the share price has moved that much as a result of these transactions,
2./ We've always been able to buy in at pretty much the same price as the large investors once the news had been broadcast, and
3./ Almost all this ends up maintaining the health of the company to prepare the way for it to multi-bag.
Finally, as Timbo003 so elegantly demonstrated, if you want a more significant stake, just contact the brokers, and they'll do what they can to accommodate. Any of us could have done exactly the same! He just showed more initiative.
To my mind it's all just tittle-tattle and inconsequential moaning - none of which changes the fundamentals: That is, a company that has tech impressive enough to distribute video for the Olympics and create an app for the whole of Bloomberg (incl. their prosumer - non-pro-editor - reporters and producers) is about to launch a mass-market prosumer app. The investment risk is highly asymmetric:
- a 25% chance of going from 7p down to 0p (over about 2 years),
- a 25% of going up to £7.00 and
- a 50% chance of doing something in the middle (with the insiders putting more of their own money in).
I'm glad I've got so much skin in the game - nailbiting, though it may be. If nothing else, Easter's going to be interesting this year...

Yes I think you are correct, I attended the Blackbird investor event held in Shoreditch back in September last year and after the presentation I got talking to Amrit Nahal from Allenby's about Allenby's involvement with Blackbird and other Aim small caps, Read her bio here:

It seems that whilst Allenby's do not deal directly with individual investors, they do have a network of HNWs and family offices that they introduce to their client companies. I suspect at least some of the new investors in this current placing come from this network

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.

The charts cannot predict events. For example, Covid favourably impacted on some businesses but many other went bust. BIRD is currently like the curate's egg - good in parts. It has a mostly dismal past record but it does have world beating software as evidenced by its user customer base. The impact of a Prosumer product was probably foreseen by very few investors and as of now neither the charts nor most investors appreciate how it will impact on the likes of Google, Adobe, Avid etc. Some businesses will grasp the opportunities and others will not and will decline. As a long-term BIRD investor I think the future is bright but not for the reason I originally invested though that may yet come good. What causes me most uncertainty is the speed at which elevate.io will impact on the share price A bid would obviously impact immediately as I guess a deal(s) for deployment by a large user(s)would as well. If that does not happen the rate at which the BIRD team can get it widely adopted will be key and if they get a significant base of users quickly which BIRD make public that will create investor interest and a sharp rise in the share price could come later this year with more growth in the future. Potential competitors remain a concern but accessing the Cloud in the way that BIRD does is unlikely to be easy for them. If the share price got to 50p-£1 in the short term (1 -2 years) I would be happy but would continue to hold on for the medium term 3-7 years) as I do not think in City terms but am more inclined to the Japanese model of long-term being 8-50 years though in the one instance I experienced they took a long term view and wiped out their UK competitors in 2 years.
