The more I research this, the more I think its a potential Unicorn.
Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft all attending the GDC Gamers Developers Conference this next week and so is BIDS. James Draper saying in the recent podcast interview they have meetings lined up with all the big names.
Really feels like right place right time here. The company Massive Inc was bought out for something like $200m back in 2006 was way too early. Connectivity and computing power now mean this is 10 x the opportunity it used to be.
Gaming Industry is larger than the music streaming and film/video industry combined and its an area where advertising only exists in the reward based games. The main gaming arena is serverely under served with advertising, indeed if served at all! So a market that accounts for 50% of UK entertainment industry that has no platform for advertsers yet..... in steps Bidstack with its platform and tech. Now advertisers come to bidstack and put live in game native adds directly in to games live and based on any audience profile they want to target and not only that their tech allows advertisers to track the hit rates and confirm them.
So so powerful.
James Draper on record saying he wants this to be the largest gaming avertiser by any metric in then next 1 to 2 years. He see's the roadmap for bidstack to be one of the largest advertising companies worldwide... thats massive. Talking multi billion $ Mcap at that stage.
It doesnt stop there though, you can apply this tech to virtual reality worlds, mobile gaming, cloud gaming.... its limitless. And Bidstack are pioneering the way...
CEO aligned with 20% of stock and the company are funded till net cashflow positive so in theory dont need to raise again (circa projected £3m cash in bank).
Key for me now is to see the company continue to sign up more games the next few months, that will then be the snowball moment.
This is a firm buy, hold, buy the dips lock the shares up and throw away the key type invesstment. Never before come across such an early stage limitless blue sky opportunity as this before in such a huge growing untapped market and ive been investing properly for 6-7 years
