Hopefully there will be a big unveiling at paid launch - otherwise they best start chatting the broker. |
Nick, your enthusiasm and ideas are surely appreciated all of us here. But why are you having to come up with suggestions? My question is what are all the 'brilliant' appointments of the last year or so bringing to the party, and where is the evidence of their value. Time is passing by quickly and the one thing you don't have in the tech world, is lots of time. |
I think a good marketing strategy would be to somehow reach out to Canva users a great target group. |
Great examples why companies need internal comms videos.
It’s not new but is really ramping up now.
A similar onboarding use case is in Education and Schools
A number of schools are making videos about the school and its culture to help onboard new students
Every School needs elevate and Canva
Every business also!
The more that embrace it the more pressure is on the laggards. |

come on then guys, own up
who made the £ 666 purchase? |
Didn't we discount Veed as a competitor some time ago? I can't remember why? |
Cc,
Veed are cloud native too
The patents are for a codec for people with slow broadband and some other features. If veed can be veed without paying a license....
No need for misinformation. |
Twelve Labs have just had an upgrade as well. Seems they like us are progressing along nicely. |
"Is Blackbird Disruptive technology?"
Reasonable question.
It allows for full video editing in the cloud via a browser at hyper scale. Something, it seems, that no-one has managed to achieve.
It's a big advance, but it's still just plain old video editing for the masses, so I suppose it doesn't quite qualify for 'disruptive'. |
When people question why a big company hasn't stepped forward, I think we need to consider two possibilities. One is that it is exactly that, and the other is that we may be say a number of months into confidential discussions with one or more parties. IMHO
We would be the last to know. However, we have seen exceptional enthusiasm from the BOD during recent presentations. |
With what Blackbird now have on the table, as solid evidence of patent protected unique performance and value, in a very valuable marketplace, I would expect that if they decide to raise more money in 2025, then surely there would be a venture capital fund that would see this as an attractive investment with potentially amazing upside potential and low downside risk.
They would have avoided the years of heartache and waiting, and arrived just in time for the grand finale and standing ovation!
Hopefully fundraising won't be necessary! |
There is always some new entrant that comes and takes a chunk out of the market and replaces what we already know.
Even the tyres on our cars will become a thing of the past in due course. |

Unfortunately for them it gets more difficult to buy later, see Adobe Figma story.
They also lose years of opportunity for their business.
Is Blackbird Disruptive technology?
Disruptive has massive impact at scale
Big tech brings not just scale but Hyper scale |

They have said as much (see previous investor meetings) |
Adobe have Scenery.
Why would they need BIRD?
sarc. |
Couple of £billion next week or tens of £billions in ten years?
Decisions decisions (only it’s outside of our control). |
It will be amusing when Adobe, or whoever, make an open offer to buy BB for £250Million (over 10 times current sp) and get the reply from the board, "This risible offer seriously undervalues the patented technology of the company." |
It may be an example of the herd instinct. The big players are not yet absolutely convinced elevate.io backed by the BIRD technology does what it says on the tin. They don't want to pay more than they have to so they sit on their hands. But once they do see the proof they won't want to be left behind like the makers of carts were left by lorries in the early 1900s. But then they risk a bidding war with other rivals or the creation of a new very disruptive entrant that could take large chunks out of their markets and profits |
I don’t think big tech buy companies because they are cheap!
Everything is strategic it’s not about the little money it’s what it can do for them at scale.
For instance Adobe is running around $500 million a Q and has 30 million paid subscribers and a $300 Billion plus market cap to firstly protect from competition (Canva Figma then a video competitor)
Wall Street wants them at $1 trillion
Google has even bigger $ numbers in video
So it’s all about strategic positioning and they still get to 10X what they pay!

Well I do have my theory on that😀 |
