Unicorn status would be a 1 billion quid mcap. Which with 4 billion ish shares issued around 24ish p. I think a lot will be down to value of aviation licence(s) and guardian /bdms deals and uptake in 2023. We have seen companies get High multiple valuations in tech space before and I suppose for me timing will be heavily contigent on a return to more risk in markets and institutional support recognising that dms is happening and what revenue this delivers and then being prepared to pay for this upfront. My guess end 2023 earliest unless we are snapped up before then. Again we assume Magna and qualcomm but others like mobileye/nvidia or other tech players maybe all running the rule over what see or smarteye brings to their offer. Veoneer got bought for 1.5bil and arriver more still. 2024 or 2024 once an established trajectory is clear is.more.realistic. lots of contingents on guardian and competition in this from cipia/smarteye, we would.like to think we have a very strong lead here and maybe get a higher market share than cars at least initially and volvo as an example sold nearly 100k units a year so replicating on Mercedes, Shania etc basic initial fitments could e great and as PMG mentioned in London a two stage sale might lead to a number of monitoring 2ndary sign ups. Clearly adding that kind of numbers to monitoring a year from 2024 onwards.would put rockets on revenue. Unicorn 2024 then deca-corn 2026. Minimum takeout I reckon will 30p but planets lining up it could be 10 times that. End of 2023 sp prediction for more will still be less than 20p I fear as I think more economic headwinds might suppress. If numbers cars on road, guardian numbers keep heading in right direction with acceleration of growth then sitting, waiting and watching will eventually show the market true value. Revs needed for decacorn are unrealistic for a long while so that kind of valuation would need come from an amazing acquisition premium likely in a bidding war. Half a million guardian connections and 50% share of us and eu cars per year would be needed as a min i reckon and that is a good few years away. Very difficult to speculate and very easy to get carried away believing we can do this (it certainly keeps me hopeful here ;-) I think those buying here and at 12p historically will do well but will.need to wait. I also think.smarteye buyers now or in their funding action will also do well. But I am.sure others have their own views on this and some.maybe more pessimistic or.more bullish. Execution now for both key players in dms is the rate limiting step as I think.the hard yards have been.done. aviation is the one that.intrigues.me as the use case is so wide, pilot or Co pilot, training, simulators, defense, drones, air traffic and inhave no idea on time to.market scale or percentage uptake and competition here and what kind of revenue we would.ultumate generate based on cost to aircraft or sim oem.
