Ffwd had the money, they brought Yooya to the table (see Paul Snow re that deal) and they were the first to put their hand up.

[brave dave] 10/2/2019 23:02

Yes we understand that. There were things they had to do prior to the series B. What people are questioning is why only FFWD involved with this deal. Wouldn’t the others like a big discount too ? Especially as we were originally one of the smaller investors previously.

[jonesyboy 27] 10/2/2019 22:36

Agreement even!

[jonesyboy 27] 10/2/2019 22:35

No...
Factom needed the safe agreeenent monies to advance certain landmarks (which they have done) pre Series B closing, no more no less.

[brave dave] 10/2/2019 21:51

This wasnt series B this was an advance. All of the news reported on this on behalf of Factom only mention FFWD. And through company research sites that list all of Factom’s funding levels including this don’t show any others. That’s what people are questioning why is it only FFWD advanced the money and got the big discount on the forthcoming B series. Wouldn’t those that initially invested much larger sums have wanted in on this.

[rickyl1] 10/2/2019 21:35

We don't know yet the results of series B so how do we know that Ffwd are the only one to put up that kind of money. There could some far far bigger investments to come once it's all revealed.

[brave dave] 10/2/2019 13:06

It’s been questioned many times. It was also asked why FFWD was the only one putting up the advance money on these special terms. Did nobody else want to get in with a discount. Especially as we are just a small investor in Factom. Wouldn’t they have had the chance even before FFWD. The fact that FFWD was the only one advancing such a large sum and at such a discount does raise concerns. I’m still hanging in. The pf has still lots more to come

Does anybody have any news about how Factom's fund raising is going? Apparently, Factom has been trying to raise funds for the last six months and I can't find anything about it at all. Is it possible that Factom is struggling to raise money?

L S E must be the most meltdown-prone website in the UK.

[jonesyboy 27] 06/2/2019 20:38

Alam why are you trying to buy when you’ve spent all week saying it’s rubbish?

[alamaison5] 06/2/2019 19:02

Why? Because our CEO plays the roulette or because he's making you money? Because if he does then please share your info with us...

[rickyl1] 06/2/2019 15:44

My point was the patient bit, it's obvious really.

[alamaison5] 06/2/2019 15:39

But on the other hand, I can't even buy £900 worth of it!

Big volume, seller done, I call it the bottom then.

WOODFORD! No please don't mention this name! HAAAARGH! You killed me.
The worst performing fund manager of all time. How can he still be doing this job anyway?
My dog is better as picking shares.

From the 4th of Feb 2019: Woodford Equity Income appears in 10 worst funds list

It's not possible to give a true valuation of the individual companies until a critical point occurs e.g IPO ,series B funding result or sale of asset etc. I get your impatience but patience is what's required. They might be playing with our money in the aim casino but we gave them it in the first place. Woodford has a similar type of fund called Patient Capital .

[alamaison5] 06/2/2019 13:41

In ref to: They raised over $100 million and are likely to do an IPO soon:

We can again about this in 12 month time, lol.

[alamaison5] 06/2/2019 13:38

FFWD: Is a company which is used as an investment instrument, by his CEO, to place bets on some suppose to be growing company.

He uses your money, and mine, to satisfy his ego and place bets on some "upcoming" companies.

AIM is a casino and this guy plays with money that doesn't belong to him.

We, as I am a smallholder, deserve better than just be left guessing at the value of our investment.

Looking at the share price behaviour, we have a big seller, it doesn't surprise me.

The management is lazy, communication-wise, and it needs to improve.

Take a read
These are Juvenescence, Apollo Ventures, Deep Knowledge Ventures, Life Biosciences, Longevity Fund, and Google’s Calico, which can probably be classified as an incubator. The most prominent player to date is Juvenescence started by the celebrity investor, Jim Mellon; former head of drug development at Pfizer, Declan Doogan, and the first investor in Medivation (acquired by Pfizer for $14.5 billion), Gregory Bailey. They did not create a fund per se but rather formed a holding company that is developing a portfolio of products in many longevity biotechnology areas. They raised over $100 million and are likely to do an IPO soon

Ffwd do use last fund raise to achieve their valuation but they could also use an industry standard that the big private equity funds use. Based on revenue if any, possible revenue or valuation of similar companies. And base it on a % of this, which obviously isn’t always that accurate. But can give us some idea. They have done alright so far. Nuuvera being a huge success. They have only had 2 complete write offs so far but their other gains have more than made up for this. See everyone is impatient for the next news. Better to be in now before the news drops.

If you understood FFWD and its investments you would know why they don’t produce any quarterly assets report value. Most of FFWD’s investments are not listed indeed most are pre IPO which is the whole point of FFWD. That being so there are not accurate valuations that FFWD can use. Accounting standards will only allow a valuation at investment cost or by reference to a subsequent subscription price.
Much more likely to be 10x more than 10x less but you will have to fórm you own view on that by continually researching the underlying investments and/or having confidence that the Directors know what they are doing.

Every share has it's ups and downs Ricky.

[rickyl1] 02/2/2019 11:06

Just to add, if I was managing a private equity fund I'd be looking to get me a nice chunk of Ffwd if not the whole lot. Not that I want us bought out ,unless it's for big bucks.
