 partners with the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce

26 September 2025, London - Blackbird plc (AIM: BIRD), developer of the
browser-based collaborative video editor elevate.io, has partnered with the
Greater New York Chamber of Commerce (the "Chamber") on a series of
initiatives designed to support the Chamber's member community.

As part of the collaboration, elevate.io will be exhibiting at the Chamber's
'Annual Business Expo' on Friday, 26 September at the Marriott Marquis, Times
Square, New York. The free-to-attend event brings together thousands of
business leaders and entrepreneurs. Additional joint initiatives will include
webinars and 'lunch and learn' sessions to help Chamber members build
essential video skills.

The Chamber represents more than 30,000 organisations and civic leaders,
including entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It plays a vital
role in connecting and supporting the local business community through
networking, events and advocacy, as well as serving as a catalyst for growth
across the Greater New York area.

This collaboration forms part of elevate.io's wider strategy to reach its
target customer base of founders, small businesses and entrepreneurs. Through
partnering with membership communities, networking opportunities, events and
curated virtual workshops, elevate.io aims to equip Chamber members with the
skills and tools to create better video content.

elevate.io enables teams and entrepreneurs to produce high-quality video
faster, more collaboratively, and at lower cost, unlocking significant
efficiencies in both speed and resources. Through its powerful online
collaborative video editing, elevate.io is redefining how businesses create
and deliver content at scale.

Blackbird CEO Ian McDonough commented:

"We are delighted to attend the Chamber's event to begin to seed elevate.io to
US based entrepreneurs, founders and SMEs. Building a cluster of users in the
UK and on the US East Coast is our primary aim in the next few months and
these events have so far affirmed our vision for elevate.io as well as
educating us on our use cases and the future development of elevate.io."
