I agree with you, hazl, and thanks for recommending this on the share ideas thread.

This will have wild swings because it hasn't many shares in issue.
I am sure people will see the value here however.

Ah now I understand!
It's sour grapes.......I see you are in benchmark,which has dropped a mile and you are trying to say its worth double its price!
A bit more research needed I think .....
pharmaceuticals are so last year!

Its a good thing that people that are widely read are not put off by such ill-informed posters.
This was recognised for its innovative products.
Robotic software is where the future is and the funding was happily given because people wanted to be part of it I'm sure.
This is just going through a natural consolidation.
Why the negative interest?
Probably wants to get in cheaper.

Schroders have over 5% since March.


Doubt they worry about day to day movements.

[hazl] 10/5/2016 13:12

[hazl] 09/5/2016 15:11

Wouldn't be surprised if some of those were buys.....despite our strong run.

'Dr. Mark Payton, CEO of Mercia, adds:
“Blue Prism is a perfect example of the Enterprise Ventures’ portfolio, a successful and innovative business based in the North of England which has benefited from the support of Enterprise Ventures’ third party funds.

It’s fantastic results such as this which illustrate perfectly why we acquired Enterprise Ventures. One of the key strategic benefits was the expanded pipeline of innovative UK companies, operating in disruptive markets like RPA, which Enterprise Ventures offers Mercia. With an enlarged pipeline our ability to invest directly in companies such as Blue Prism will help us to deliver significant value to our shareholders over time.”'

Every new company needs financial isupport when it is in its high growth phase and clearly B Prism has been lucky to have had some strong support which shows the strength of its products.Perception is so important.

'Enterprise Ventures is pleased to announce the successful flotation on the London Stock Exchange’s junior market, AIM, of Blue Prism. Blue Prism, which is part of the RisingStars Growth Fund portfolio, is a market-leader in developing and supplying a virtual workforce powered by software robots, known as Robotic Process Automation (“RPA”). It has a blue-chip customer base including Barclays Bank, Co-operative Banking Group, Telefónica O2, RWE npower and Shop Direct.

This exciting development for the Fund follows the recent acquisition of Enterprise Ventures by Mercia, which has developed its hybrid investment model to help fund, support and create value from some of the UK’s most innovative ventures. The enlarged group has established itself as the “go-to” provider of finance for high growth, innovative businesses, particularly for the under-served regions across the Midlands, the Northern Powerhouse and Scotland. Blue Prism is a perfect example of the type of business in Enterprise Ventures’ portfolio that Mercia would classify as an Emerging Star which would benefit from Mercia’s own direct investment capacity over time and this milestone for Blue Prism is testament to the quality of businesses supported by Enterprise Ventures’ third party funds.

Enterprise Ventures originally invested in Blue Prism, headquartered in Newton-le-Willows, Warrington, in 2004 via its third party managed RisingStars Growth Fund. The Fund was established in 2003 to invest in unique technologies with exceptional commercial prospects and ambitious management teams, with third party backing from institutional investors and the North West Development Agency. The team, headed by Julian Viggars, Enterprise Ventures’ Head of Technology Investment, recognised early on that Blue Prism was an ideal candidate for the RisingStars Growth Fund; it had the potential to become a market-leader, well placed to take advantage of the increasing adoption of RPA by large enterprises.

Enterprise Ventures’ funds provided £900,000 in growth capital to support Blue Prism’s development through to the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”). At the time of the IPO, the RisingStars Growth Fund was the largest shareholder in the business, with a c. 25% stake. As part of the IPO, the Fund has realised part of its investment, returning £2 million to its investors or 2.1x its original cost of investment. As the Enterprise Ventures team believes that significant value will continue to be created with the increased adoption of RPA by large enterprises, the Fund has retained a 15% shareholding, meaning it remains the largest shareholder in Blue Prism.

In total, Blue Prism has raised £21.1 million gross proceeds at 78 pence per share, giving it a market capitalisation of £48.5 million on admission to AIM, which occurs today, 18 March 2016.

Julian Viggars, Head of Technology Investments at Enterprise Ventures, comments: “We hear a lot about robots enhancing efficiencies in all manner of industries; what Blue Prism has pioneered is the use of software robots to automate routine back-office tasks. The Virtual Workforce has been marked as the next evolution of the labour market as businesses worldwide seek to create more agile, cost effective and accurate back-offices, and Blue Prism is at the forefront of this growth market.

“The RisingStars Growth Fund has supported Blue Prism on this growth trajectory since 2004, and we are even more excited by the future prospects for the business. With such a bright future ahead of it, the Fund will continue to support Blue Prism, and we’re confident that our holding will deliver additional value for our third party investors as a public company.”'https://www.evgroup.uk.com/news-resources/news/portfolio-company-blue-prism-floats-lses-aim/

if you want something more specific to Blue Prism then post 51 and 52

are particularly relevant.

[hazl] 08/5/2016 11:04

I have included this video despite being a few years older....2012, and of course in technology that's a long time,but because of its overall message.
Its philosophy is amazing and far-reaching and not as specific as perhaps the Blue Prism raison de etre,perhaps?

IMO

[hazl] 07/5/2016 22:00

Only those informed individuals will see the potential,of course.

Is it gonna lose more this year? My guess is yes because of more costs,

[dlku] 07/5/2016 21:29

[hazl] 06/5/2016 11:17

This has so much going for it....with the future scenario outlook....that I have decided to keep it through the ups and downs.

IMO

[hazl] 05/5/2016 11:13

Well nothing goes up in a straight line but it seems off its lows for the day,so far.
