I agree with senator1 completely. It actually doest matter if bird/elavate is a rip-roaring success or failure to be thousand percent multi-bagger as IM's foot in mouth moment. The markets will just laugh at that comment. We need to raise 500k to increase our marketing spend. It's GCSE business stuff. !!The directors have feathered their nest very well and if they continue to play the game well they will be very wealthy men even if bird actually produces nothing of any value.

What a surprise, they are obviously burning through it.!!! Why only £500K...what is the point with another fund raise early part raise next year at scale up.

Has Bill Roberts advised them to raise 500k or is it to cover some of his costs ??

You have to give the bird directors credit they certainly play the game well and the private investors are left to *******??

Just the merry go round of people becoming involved with Bird in the hope that it will be the defining appointment !

Mo - Gone !

JH - Gone !

ADK - Gone !

Re - Kevin Bourke.........Shouldn't bird know all this stuff already.

So we've got Bill and Kevin... No excuses now then ??

Not at all Tintin. Anything can be discussed here. I've been in business 40 years and the only thing that really matters to me is income statements, balance sheets and PL account. Anything else is just noise in my view.

I just happen to think Sales and Profit are the lifeblood of any business and if you don't have them do you actually have a viable business. No you don't unless you have exceptionally deep pockets, prepared to lose money or there are people or institutions to support it. Why are they on the Aim... because the AIM was created to help small businesses raise money on the capital markets, ( if you don't believe me look it up). The directors are sitting pretty... look at their salaries and share options and private investors just moan at the share price. Wake up and smell the coffee and open your eyes as to what is going on here.

It's an unbelievably risky play or investment and that is why I trade. Will it hit 26p. I have no idea. I'm not waiting for the destination to find out I'd rather make money on the journey.

No aliases's TinTin !!

I really don't get the preoccupation with elevate features that dominate chat boards. What relevance has it.. we don't invest in a product.... we invest in a company.

Do you need to know about engines etc to invest in Rolls Royce

Do you need to know about Cruise liners and Insurance to invest in Saga. Ultimately No. it's about sales and profit.

A company that is losing money, a company that in year end 2024 had one member of staff in sales, a company whose wage costs after capitalisation were still half a million more than its turnover. IM taking a salary of 4k a week basic.Financially it's a horrific story and it isn't sustainable unless people believe in the story and provide the well for bird to plunder. How long will it be before bird can stand on its own to feet ?

I wonder how much they are paying Bill Roberts because by god they need him. How much is the fund raise going to be next year for scale up, £5m,£10m, more and the dilution that follows.

I'm out currently after the "hoohaa" over Bill Roberts waiting for the next fall back.

Bill has to have two skills:

How to scale up a loss making business with next to no money ! ( Money was never an issue at Adobe)

How to attract funding into Bird ?

Birds history of recruiting skilled bods, Mo, John H,Anne De K hasn't really done it

Money talks... always has and always will !! Armchair Techies and Armchair Business Consultants is nothing more than a vanity exercise

Well everyone is getting hot and bothered with Bill Roberts no doubt becoming a "Paid Advisor" to bird. Oh my god he was involved with Adobe and Frame.io. This is it boys... the inflection point, lift off boys...we're going to be rich and then................reality sets in. !

I wonder how much they are paying him.........bright boy !!. Everyone knows about bird in the industry so what exactly does he bring to the table?. In my view the appointment is with a view to next fund raise because they do need an awful lot of money. I love this share.

This share is turning out to be a traders dream !!

It's not actually an addition to the board but an adviser to the board based in North America on the end of an e-mail or call.

Sure his experience will be useful but that was said about Anne De K and look what happened there !

Bird continue to make all the right noises and still money to be made on the story prior to the diluting raise in the New year that IM said was needed to scale up. !!

30 plus % in less than 48 hours. Play the game 😂

It's always about the future vision, what needs to happen, where we are headed. It's been like that for years with all their offerings.Doesn't matter, there is only one thing that matters and that's selling stuff and they simply can't........ 300 plus paying users. It's astonishing and they are losing business and it's actually embarrassing.

At the moment in my opinion it's not a viable business. The directors are living a fine life on the back of what seems to be a fairy story and people still back them up and give them money. It's good they are on the Aim for a raise because the serious money men would laugh them out of the office with their figures.

No doubt IM will remain positive and speak well tomorrow but there is no substance...it's wishful thinking. !!

What a disaster but all so predictable. How can people be positive other than looking through rose tinted glasses. It's 17.5% down for reason.

The preoccupation with the product/features on chat boards is madness... it means nothing if no-one wants the product.

The whole thing feels amateurish like a high school technology project. The sales and marketing function is no better than a corner shop.

Build it and they will come.......er NO.!!

Is there money in bird... absolutely if you can see what's staring you in the face !!

No mention of bird on the NY chamber of commerce website ??. $5000 spend as a conference partner.

Who makes a fortune chasing the start ups, founders, small enterprises ??.

I must get that business book " Thinking small and grow Rich "

Prepare for disappointment tomorrow!!!!!

There you have it in black and white. Birds target market is the small fry……. Great.!! What happens to thinking big!!!!. Snail pace growth for bird then.

I apologise to all the other posters who have to read the "banter" between me and PC. But you know a woman has to stand up for herself and points need addressing and as some of you will know a woman always has to have the last word.!!

I won't be posting my opinions again.

I hope you all make money on Bird..... However you make it !!

x

Absolutely Mickey...

PC........You say I know it al l!!!!....Now you're being hilarious !

There's only one person who puts other peoples opinions in "quotation marks" and then proceeds to shoot them down as if to prove their intellectual superiority.(That's a know it all!!!) Chat board performance is irrelevant, knowledge of the product is not essential ( although try telling that to the wannabe CEO's). All that matters is how to make money on a share.

I've looked at the shares you post on "Mr know it all" and if you invest then I would suggest you are not generally talking from a position of strength. Unless of course you spread bet but I think that may be beneath you ??

Based on the factual evidence of birds performance let's say over 5 years, cynicism and criticism is quite apt don't you think ?. I think any shareholder has the right to . Where is the shareholder value ???. The difference between you and I PC is that I don't believe they'll get to where you think they will. You should respect that ! But I admit bird is a good story and good stories are profitable especially when told by a good storyteller and IM is very skilled in that.

They may well be developing a good product but it's a pointless exercise if no-one has heard of them. They need to start shouting or they will start drowning as the big boys/brands are dominating the space. How is company with staff in the tens, losing money going to compete with the big boys with thousands if not tens of thousands of staff, very deep pockets, dominating the PR space and a budget for printing/stationery probably close to birds turnover. Pray tell !

PS... Before you mark my post I'll apologise in advance for any spelling and grammar errors.... it's late for an old bird like me !

Pointing out spelling mistakes... is that all your about ?. How childish !

What are you on about raising my game ?. I'm making money on blackbird, not the hundreds or thousands of percent some a chasing but 20% to 40% over a short period of time on the story. More than one way to skin a cat you know.!!

I remember you patronising me years ago when Bird was at 20 odd p with a market cap of £120m. You were spouting off about the value in the IP. But where are we now 2.6p.Still working a product after placings to raise £20 plus million in the last seven years. Turnover under 2m and loss making. The evidence is right there. Powered by Blackbird, Enterprise ???

I'm not as dumb as you think PC. Actually a while ago you posted that you'd had enough of this board and me presumably but you had to come back to have a go didn't you.

I do apologise for a being a woman with a brain. !

Those directors must have a chuckle in their board meetings and at the absurdity of the techie cult !!

Oh Com'on pokerchips..... putting yourself about with a load of start ups. Big deal.

Shouldn't every company be putting themselves about, its business.. it doesn't need a grand announcement.

You know what we need...... facts figures and the stuff that really matters....unfortunately it's missing, it's all cloak and dagger stuff but it is a good story. !!

As patronising as ever PC, let's all bow at your alter !!

Don't know people are commenting about this being a RNS or reach announcement. It's a reach announcement as is states at the bottom which is information provided by Reach, the non-regulatory press release distribution service of RNS. This is how it's done these days.

The announcement really means nothing except we're in front of a few more eyeballs and it's really just to satisfy the needs of the majority of Private Investors who need a regular news flow or they think nothing is happening. It's rather like a butcher's shop telling everyone it's going to have a stall at a new farmers market. So what , It means nothing !

They have done this event many times so considering birds rather paltry turnover in the last years we can assume it’s not of great value. Perhaps with some new developments and bit of inflation thrown it’s a bit more than previously. I’m sure there will be some indication in previous accounts if anyone is prepared to drill down.

Contract wins do not increase share prices unless it affects sentiment and we all know there is no real investor sentiment towards bird apart from the techie fan club.

Business is business though and bird will welcome the money while they continue to build the product that is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
