Looks like it. I know for sure that one of those is a buy :-). Great chance to get in or top up at these levels with only a few weeks to go until paid launch and SBSX or whatever it is. |
What an encouraging video.......
In the 2.5 minute long video Nick Lisher said twice that the market opportunity for elevate.io is absolutely vast, so he clearly really believes it.
Taking his confidence about elevate.io's vast market opportunity, together with the fact that he has agreed to join the management team for the GTM phase is surely very positive. He identifies with elevate's key unique benefits and he is determined to deliver on the goal of getting it into the hands of as many relevant video creators as possible. He has left himself no product based excuses if the launch results disappoint!
So, here we go............... |
All buys today?
So another 1m sell coming up after the bell. |
Yes. The indication, for me, is that they are ‘going it alone’ with the possibility of licensing deals with majors but not an outright sale (the majors may have different ideas of course). It is success on this path that will generate the highest shareholder return, and they are shareholders.
billions not millions |
Glad to see Nick coming in as a consultant
Nice lighting on the video, great audio and they looked smart in their elevate clothes 😀 |
Hyper Al The introduction of new technology is always problematic. When the internal combustion engine was invented it was not the manufacturers that did for the horse and cart industry in the US and other major economies. It was those who saw the opportunity to de-skill their transport operations and reduce their labour force at the same time |

The specific mention of Googles YouTube did stand out. Hopefully it has some meaning. I do have my own ideas about our association with Google, but I'm not going to speculate here. Let's see what unfolds.
Exciting times for all real holders of the BIRD..

Really we want to be seeing volume at over 1M every day at this stage. That will help to shift the seller. |
Confirmation that the release date is still in Q1 is reassuring.
The one item in the list that really caught my attention is the mention of 65M YouTube content creators. Setting aside that one of the former NEDs was a senior Google man and we know that SBS met them and showed them that he had done what they considered impossible it's very significant that IM chose to mention it. It must be a target for elevate either by postings showing creators what it can do or by getting Google itself to promote it.
Nothing in an RNS is ever there by chance or as a throw away line. |
Not sure this will have an instant effect on the share price while we still have a seller, but it's encouraging anyway, hopefully volume will tick up in the coming days... |
All on time 😊 |
Mornings we are in q1 , so anytime before eom march!! |
As I predicted, another progress update in late Jan to follow those in late Nov and late Dec. All encouraging and seems still on track. I doubt there will be a delay to the payment launch if they're still telling us Q1 in late Jan... |
