They didn’t have the money to promote it, but they have the technology, so maybe one of the big boys will buy it or licence it.

IMHO.

They already are.

Gervais William’s from Miton Group owns nearly 20%.

They already do.

It’s called EVA.

The technology must be something special for John Honeycutt from Google Cloud to come onboard.

His recent LinkedIn post has received over 240 likes and 45 comments.

I am proud and excited to have joined as an NED at Blackbird plc. The combination of the product, the leadership, the team, my co-board members and the vision of what is possible in the cloud all equal positive things ahead !!!

The BIRD is getting noticed, and it’s a great Covid play.

IMHO.

Over the Summer, former Google and Discovery Inc exec, John Honeycutt joined Blackbird as an NED.

John Honeycutt LinkedIn post below getting lots of attention, with over 120 likes and loads of comments from across the industry. If they didn’t know who Blackbird was, they do now. Great bit of publicity.

“The Twitter codec needs some work ;-)“

It got up to those high valuations during the dotcom bubble. Stephen Streater had just sold Eidos to Larry from Oracle, and then set up Forbidden technology, so everyone was chasing the next golden ticket.

The last 20 years have been R&D, and they were too far ahead of the game so people gave up on the company.

However finally the world has caught up with Stephen Streater’s vision, ie moving to the cloud.

That’s why the shares are now about to take off.

You know the technology is good when the likes of Bloomberg sign up for 5 years.

It’s all about the Blackbird codec, and that’s why they changed the name of the company,

Plus they have Ian McDonough on board who knows what he’s doing.

IMHO.

Oracle now interested in buying TikTok.

Stephen Streater has history of selling businesses to Larry.

Eidos was founded in 1990 by Stephen Streater. The company initially focused on video-compression and non-linear editing software for the Risk OS, in the process revolutionising the video editing industry. This was helped in no small part by Streater’s use of his PhD research on image processing to create a new video compression technology, a technology they sold to Oracle for £36m. “I thought we’d sell our technology to Larry Ellison (Oracle)," says Streater.

Maybe he can see if Larry is interested in EVA, Blackbird’s Video Social Network App, if they aren’t successful in buying TikTok.

The likes of Bloomberg sign up for 5 years shows how advanced this technology is.

But when I joined Blackbird, we were getting I think one lead a month. We’re now getting in the region of 40, 50 after 18 months, because we’ve got the marketing right, and we’ve got the brand awareness right, and our digital marketing is firing on all cylinders. Lead gen is the number one metric for marketing success in my opinion.

But what we’re doing is, we’re winning direct deals where we can, but we’re working on what’s called an OEM strategy, so this basically means that we are signing up major … We call them OEMs, but they’re major telcos, and these are companies who have big sales teams. They have big tech stacks. They’re always looking for best in class solutions, and in simple terms, they can sell further and faster than we can, because we’re a small company at the end of the day still, punching above its weight, but there’s only so much we can do with our team size. That’s our big focus, and we’re having some very, very interesting conversations with multiple household name telcos, who love the product. I don’t want to jinx it, so I’m touching wood here.
