I’m guessing we are roughly 4 weeks away from payment gateway
Hope we get some marketing partnership announcements etc
Don’t want yet another damp squib - or damp squid as stiggles used to say |
I would think it is not unreasonable to think that of the hardcore of users at the moment, say, a few hundred will sign up for paid pretty much immediately. |
Agreed, but it's all about numbers. Even if they say 5k users have signed up for paid with a 30 day free trial, that would be well received IMO... |
Just to temper expectations of revenue in March -
Clearly when they launch a payment gateway they will surely offer existing subscribers some sort of bonus. It will probably be 'give us your credit card details, and you can have a 30 day free trial'.
All other new users will also have a free trial.
The payment gateway will be about getting subsribers ready to pay. There'll be a natural attrition when the free trial ends, but I really don't think we will have any Elevate revenue in Q1, unless they launch in the next two weeks. |
These trades at 4.579p and 4.585p are all buys. |
So long as launch of the subscription model is not delayed, and it meets customer expectations, then the company might just get by without having to raise more cash...but I think it will be tight.
Cashflow is what it's all about. |
 Since we know the following information, I don't see the need to be at all pessimistic about prospects for Blackbird and elevate.io.
1. The market for creating video is vast and getting vaster at a rate of knots.
2. There are some seemingly less than wonderful video editors selling well due to the lack of world class alternatives, and because the demand marketplace is so big.
3. We know elevate.io is high performance in all the ways that have often been explained here, and we know elevate.io will be constantly developed and expanded in it's capabilities. It has real performance advantages over it's soon to be existing rivals
4. We know we have amazingly competent people in the company who have designed the product in all the ways already discussed.
5. We know we have very experienced people who know how to penetrate the marketplace with elevate.io and win the market share that we are looking for.
6. We know the current share price does not currently recognise any value in eleavate.io!!! When elevate.io is launched and people can see it's performance, it will add value quickly to the share price.
Based on what we know now, what is there to worry about in terms of Blackbird achieving profitability quickly? |
I’m not sure zero sales is realistic
Plus we have income from broadcast enterprise
My experience in business says you can cut costs if you need to.
Most of our costs are for engineering work development of elevate
So I feel you are being a little dramatic, but that’s fine. |
NickB.
Realistic not dramatic. |

Thanks
I did start out from a negative position as GEH and MK know, it looked impossible and I didn’t like the business model of selling to Soho
I could lose money on another share or two I have done that.
This is invest in what you know, they are building the product I always wanted to see, like I commissioned it! And they are delivering it
The future may know something I don’t of course 😀 |
Chris
Yes very fast
Punters always pile in on fast rising shares
Seen it all before.
Meanwhile I’m liking the product every day and I know what features are coming so I’m buying more at this price |
Good luck Nick, you have always been ultra bullish. Its a bloody high risk strategy but be delighted if you are proved correct. If you have conviction and big balls you deserve to make a lot of money. |
Cabi
That’s being dramatic |
It certainly is a case of supply with little demand. The unanswered question is what happens if a deep pocketed buyer starts buying in multiple million lots at a time. There are too many as yet known unknowns to feel solid ground but when sentiment changes exoect it to happen very fast |

Double the share price means you will have half the number of shares.
That’s a serious problem IF this is a unicorn
Obviously your risk profile is highly important to you.
I’m not here to recommend you buy I think it’s not appropriate for 99% of investors
Remember MM’s quickly tighten up the amount of shares you can buy when demand returns and the big supply has gone
Good luck you are doing the right thing and waiting |
Cabi
So the price can be pushed down.
Perfect for some including myself and a few others here buying
1 million shares is only £45k a time that fund manager isn’t raising much cash is he. |
Take a look at PXEN, hugely undervalued, low market cap, fully funded, no debt, throwing off cash. As always DYOR. |

Nick, I would rather pay double the share price and have revenues coming in. You don't need to find the bottom. This is one risky share at the moment, so why take the chance?
If you guys are right, you are talking of many multiples of the share price so patience is the key and cut your risk/ exposure, to what is at the moment a jam tomorrow stock. |
NickB.
Course not, but I’m willing to take the risk.
I’d rather lose the lot than miss out on the big pay day.
Unfortunately most people are not, and that’s why seller will keep pushing the price down.
However to be honest I’m not overly confident as Blackbird consistently disappoint. |
Great work from elevate support
They have fixed the issue I reported Monday and have done some upload improvement work
