Aim has failed in its stated purpose of providing a home for scaling businesses. It should be fully merged with the LSE’s main market, with a special route to listing specifically for high-growth firms in emerging technology sectors.
“In this way, London can differentiate itself from other global exchanges and attract a pipeline of high-quality, innovative companies.”
Tax breaks for investors in junior market stocks should be maintained for companies that seek the high growth path, it recommended.
Some 76 companies delisted from London’s Aim market last year, while executives of “the UK’s most vibrant companies” have publicly stated that they would not consider listing on London’s exchanges, the report said. “Low liquidity, diminished investor confidence, and a shrinking pool of capital available are compounding the exodus”, the report added.
“The UK’s ability to finance growing tech companies is in trouble, but decline isn’t inevitable,” said Zachary Spiro, a policy fellow at Onward. |

I don't have a subscription so can't read that link.
What's happens to companies currently listed on AIM if AIM is closed down? Does that article suggest how it could be closed down? |
London AIM market should be axed for failing to win tech floats, say think tanks - via @FT |

It’s not an editor for mobile phones!
I suspect they will build an upload app |
Guys are bird going to have a mobile app version or this is desktop only? |
Another promoted video. Which is what you need to do. |
That video has had a lot of views today
It was around 30 I think when I first saw it this morning now nearly 2800 |
Just to say, I was working with a senior designer on a canva project. I was like, I prefer PowerPoint but unusually he said he prefers working in the cloud. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. Maybe davinci is old fashioned.... |
Would the subtitles have been added with voice recognition? |
Great Video and Kelly is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT which is why editing tools are crucial to the video creator to get engagement. |

That’s a very good point. |
Also, it would seem logical to me to expect a higher percentage of subscribers to free users in the professional segment compared to the expected result in the even larger amateur segment. |

That’s correct and Ian’s Pyramid description is very apt, elevate for the middle section.
It’s so ripe for disruption |
Full inception takes time. Elevates' journey has only just begun. Just wait until 12 Labs is rolled out . Let's not forget how they have been progressing since we announced partnership in March. Anyone else been keeping a close eye?Twelve Labs has been making significant strides in its development, particularly in recent months. Here are some key updates:1. Funding and Growth: * Series A Funding: In June 2024, Twelve Labs secured $50 million in Series A funding co-led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and NVIDIA's venture arm, NVentures. This brings their total funding to over $77 million. * Expanding Team: They are actively using this funding to expand their team, with plans to nearly double their headcount by the end of 2024, focusing on research and development.2. Technological Advancements: * New Models: They recently released Marengo-2.6, a state-of-the-art foundation model for video, audio, and image search tasks. They also have Pegasus-1 in beta, which focuses on even more advanced video understanding. * Perceptual Reasoning Research: Twelve Labs is investing heavily in research to improve the "perceptual reasoning" abilities of their AI, enabling it to understand the context and relationships within videos more like humans do. * API Playground: They launched an API Playground to encourage developers to experiment with and build applications using their video search API.3. Partnerships and Integrations: * Blackbird: their partnership with Blackbird brings AI-powered video editing capabilities to the Blackbird platform and in the future the new SaaS product elevate.io. * Arvato Systems: They partnered with Arvato Systems to integrate their AI technology into VidiNet, a media asset management platform, enhancing video search and analysis. * Focus on Ecosystem Growth: Twelve Labs is actively deepening relationships with existing partners and seeking new collaborations to expand the reach of their technology.4. Recognition and Awards: * CB Insights AI 100: Twelve Labs was recognized as one of the most promising artificial intelligence startups of 2023 by CB Insights. * Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies: They were named to Fast Company's list of the Most Innovative Companies of 2023 for their work on video foundation models. * GTC 2023: Twelve Labs was featured as a pioneer in multimodal AI at NVIDIA's GTC conference in 2023.Overall, Twelve Labs is rapidly advancing its technology, expanding its reach, and gaining recognition as a leader in the field of video understanding. Their recent developments indicate a strong trajectory for future growth and innovation.Interesting that two start-ups. Elevate and Tweleve Labs are entwined together two potential powerhouses of the future.Did someone in Blackbird say the stars are aligning? |
And yet…here we are at 7p
HCBF? |
I don't think anyone is justified in saying that elevate may be the best out there. Best at what? It's certainly not best at loads of things.
However, elevate has the potential, not only to be the best out there, but, because it is truly cloud native, to be able to service a global audience with the best available video service ever.
Unless you are truly cloud native you do not have this ability.
This is elevate's potential and it is staggering.
But there's still a way to go, and there may be competition down the line.
There is a window for it to be £'s not p's, but Bird needs to get a leg on. |
