What justifies the market cap.
Future potential just like most tech companies.
The media and entertainment industry is moving to the Cloud.
It was slow to start but Covid has speeded things up.
Teams need to be able to access and edit their video remotely from anywhere.
Up until now people have used expensive on premise hardware from the likes of AVID technology.
With Blackbird than can replicate everything in the Cloud from any browser on low bandwidth.
No need to send large teams to sporting events like the Olympics etc, therefore reducing costs and reducing your carbon footprint.
The CEO has ambitions to be a £1 billion company which isn’t unrealistic when you look at AVID Technology, valued at over a $1 billion.
There is also a chance BIRD get bought out at some stage.
Head of R&D Stephen Streater who set up the company sold his last company Eidos to Larry Ellison of Oracle.
IMHO/DYOR.
Great to see former Head of Google Cloud, Media and Entertainment, John Honeycutt promoting the BIRD on LinkedIn.

I’d sell up and buy the land mate.
This was always built on hype.
Moved totally out of sink with BTC price a long time ago.
In July 2020 this was valued at 3.9p.
At that time BTC was valued around $9k.
So I recon ARB, without all the hype should be trading at around 25p.
Let’s remember it was trading round that level only 4 months ago.
So do yourself a favour and set yourself a stop loss mate.

We’re working with a major production partner in India. We’ve got a number of engagements with our other existing sports customers. Additionally, since August, we’ve already onboarded two and soon-to-be another three or four broadcast customers on the Blackbird platform.
I believe some of the customers already signed up are Star India, ATP Media, and Moto GP.
If it is Star this is huge for Blackbird.

DYOR.
C101.
The whole industry is moving to the Cloud.
It was slow to happen, but Covid has increased that speed, and it’s not going back.
It’s not only about remote working, but reduction in costs and more importantly companies need to become carbon neutral.
It’s not a ridiculous valuation.
Tata Communications we know have around 400 potential clients for the BIRD.
IM said average deal per client will be between $50/$150k.
So let’s say we convert half at average $100k, that’s $20 million on the Tata deal alone.
Undervalued in my opinion.
AVID technology valued at $1 billion.
