With the $AVAN links, I've spent the last 24 hours doing a deep-dive on @babylonhealth.
From papers, videos, presentations, US growth projections, to asking people familiar with the sector.
Not going to do a full thread (yet) but here are my quick thoughts ⬇️🧵
- First things first, Babylon is nothing close to $CLOV
- Babylon is the leading tele-health player in Europe along with Swedish company Kry
- Babylon has ramped up presence in Africa and Asia
- Babylon launched in US market last year and is a serious competitor to $TDOC
- Babylon's core competency that differentiates it from others is their AI technology. They're miles ahead of competition.
- Their AI technology has received scrutiny in the UK market from regulators from a privacy and accuracy issues.
- Babylon has grown significantly in the US market in less than a year and are winning serious marketshare/contracts from $TDOC
- They've added tons of C-Suite execs from Google, Expedia, Amazon
- Babylon has been licensing their software to others which generates ++ revenue
- Babylon has had tremendous growth in 2020 (obviously due to COVID), but what will define them is their future outlook
- As of 2021 and after a year of launch, Babylon says 70-80% of revenue now comes from the US.
*From October 2020 presentation
If the $4bn valuation is accurate, that's a very lucrative and discounted valuation compared to Teladoc + growing at a faster rate.
Summary:
- There might be some inaccuracies to the numbers (to the best available data)
- Babylon is speaking to a number of SPACs
- $AVAN or not, Babylon is interesting to me at a $4bn valuation
- Babylon has concerns in UK that are understandable from a privacy/accuracy point
Not encouraging anyone to buy as this is just high level research + $AVAN is already hovering around $10 NAV.
I also encourage anyone to share their thoughts as well, especially the Swedish community where I've seen tons of DD on Babylon since @vnvglobal is their biggest backer.
- 50% of companies going public through a SPAC will fail or go bankrupt
- 25% will get acquired by a bigger player or merge/consolidate
- 25% will survive and potentially become key players of their respective industry
Play your cards accordingly.
*All those % are made up but you get my point.
Ok let’s reword it so everyone is happy:
100% of SPACs will go on to be part of the S&P500 and we’ll all be billionaires by 2030 🌈🦋
- Sawiris family and sports investments
- Jeff Yakubi, ex-Fiserv and new Sportradar Global Chairman
- Wes Edens: Bucks & Aston Villa
- Bruin Sports Capital
Speculation Thread ⬇️🧵
$AVAN is looking for a European target with a strong US/International nexus.
Sportradar is based in St. Gallen, Switzerland 🇨🇭
The company has 35 offices in 24 countries around the world including New York City, Las Vegas, London, Trondheim, Munich, Ljubljana, Sydney and Singapore.
There's probably a million reasons on why Clubhouse will not SPAC.
However, I'll list a couple on why it MIGHT just make sense with $VYGG.
It's [SPACULATION] Thread Time ⬇️🧵
I've covered Alexander Tamas from a previous $VYGG
thread.
He's the gold standard when it comes to social networks/internet and led some of the most major tech investments of that time, including Facebook, Airbnb, Spotify, Twitter, Alibaba, Zalando.
Love FinTwit to death but I beg enough with the "I called $CCIV at xx" tweets flooding the timeline.
Calling $CCIV at $11/12 after a Bloomberg report (when literally anyone with decent knowledge knows the only two legit Tesla competitors are Lucid and Rivian) is NOT a call.
