But no. Our company, Slidebean, actually, around 30 people, is a venture-funded startup. And our core business is not video, but presentation design. Now, I don't want to jinx it, but we are on our way to 100,000 subscribers. It's a defining moment for our business, where YouTube is not only our primary source of customers for Slidebean, but the videos themselves, the ads, and the sponsorships we are getting are already a business of its own. We created a new, profitable business- that sells our other business. It's a marketing Nirvana! This felt like the right time to reflect on this six-year journey- especially on the stuff that nobody told me about. #slidebean #startups #entrepreneurship What nobody told me about Starting a Business 0:00 - Intro 0:48 - What I’d be doing 2:51 - Twice the team is not twice the productivity 3:41 - How money becomes immaterial 4:49 - Building things from scratch is (usually) a mistake 5:32 - The importance of community and network 7:00 - You can never log off 7:56 - 10/10 would do it again Let us improve your pitch deck: https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-design?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campai gn=video-content Recommended videos: Entrepreneur life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_bArdkS8NQ How Slidebean spent 1M dollars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37iSmT2e1_E Monthly App: https://monthlyapp.com Read the article: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-starting-a-business-what-nobody-told-me Follow Caya: Twitter: https://twitter.com/cayahere Instagram:https://instagram.com/caya_here YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/jpczcaya Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

You may have heard the argument that this company was meant to be what Netflix is today. But it may not be all that simple.

Amazon Fire Phone: a $170 million flop - Get the Slidebean Agency team to design your slides ► https://slidebean.com/agency - Join our Discord ► https://slidebean.com/youtube#discord - Book office hours with Caya ► https://slidebean.com/caya ► This video was brought to you by Trends: https://trends.co/deal We have talked about phone companies in the past. Remember those episodes about Blackberry or Motorola, companies who once were at the very top of the industry and somehow ended up falling in battle. Today, we will not exactly talk about a phone company but about a phone, yeah, a particular one. A phone that, for better or worse, had everyone's attention just by existing, just because it was created by one of the largest internet companies in the world: the Amazon Fire Phone Now, of course, Amazon is not a phone company, but what is it exactly? It's a huge store, and it's likely where you get a lot of your stuff online, even groceries in some locations, probably even more now that people may be spending more time at home. But Amazon also provides web services to clients like Netflix, NASA, or Slidebean. Wink. It's also a media streaming platform with its production studio for feature films and series, and it also acquired the largest video game streaming platform, Twitch, for around $1B, in 2014. But it also had its line of diapers. So, what kind of company Amazon is? How do all these things connect? It sounds like a brand that aims for global market domination somehow, and seemingly with the Fire Phone, they had high hopes to create a product that would unify it all into a worldwide, fresh brand. Something like Apple or Nike, but for everything. #Amazon #startups #Slidebean 0:00 - Intro 0:55 - Amazon Fire: What's Amazon? 2:06 - Amazon Fire: When and why 4:01 - Amazon Fire: The Jeff Bezos phone 5:43 - Amazon Fire: Dynamic perspective 7:02 - Amazon: A cool lifestyle brand?

Segway: An overpriced mall cop ride It was bound to happen, and it just happened. Last June, Segway's president, Ms. Judy Cai, announced that the company was utterly ceasing the Segway PT production, or as it was initially named, the Segway HT, for "Human Transporter." Some believed that it would revolutionize urban mobility, make the last-mile transportation more efficient, redesign cities, and other such high aspirations. But you know how this show usually goes. That glorified scooter that mall guards and tourists ended up rocking around some cities is officially on its road to extinction.

Those rounds are often called Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, etc. Now, the first round startups raise, is often structured as a convertible note. The problem is convertible notes (or bridge rounds as they are often called) are designed for these startup stories, and there are many stories in the middle where convertible notes can become a hassle. We are one of them, and in this video, we'll tell you all about it. Here's the danger with convertible notes. #startups #Slidebean #fundraising 0:00 - Intro 0:32 Failure vs. Unicorn 2:42 Rules of a convertible note 5:31 The 2017 decision 7:19 The 2020 decision 9:09 The middle ground problems Recommended videos: Startup Funding 101: https://youtu.be/njx09wXb9o0 How NOT to spend your first $250,000 round of funding: https://youtu.be/J-9H_rXMlos Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-danger-convertible-notes?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

Try our presentation app for free! ► https://slidebean.com/youtube By 2007, the most massive financial fraud of modern history had been going on for decades. Billions of dollars had been flowing to a unique firm in Wall Street, where investors of all classes and worldwide trusted their money. That elite fund was ultimately managed by one of the world's most notorious conmen: Bernard L. Madoff, a businessman from Queens, New York. But then came the U.S. Housing market crash and made the perfect storm in 2008. Only then, the massive fraud that Madoff had built couldn't be sustained longer and crumbled. A $64 billion disaster that left immeasurable tragedy for thousands of victims, orchestrated by a Wall Street sociopath who is serving a hundred and fifty years sentence in jail. #startups #Slidebean #ponzi 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - Bernie Madoff: The Sociopath 2:39 - Bernie Madoff: The largest Ponzi fraud in history 5:23 - Bernie Madoff: A long road to justice 8:01 - Bernie Madoff: A Shakespearean tragedy -- Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-bernie-madoff?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Join our Discord: https://youtube.slidebean.com/discord Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

It can take months or even years to yield results- and most startups can't wait for months or years to find out if their growth tactics are working. We've built a multi-million dollar SaaS business on content marketing, but when founders and marketers ask me if they should do it- I always start with a word of caution: it may not be what you need for your startup. A startup doesn't usually have the runway to wait. They get customer feedback and usage metrics as fast as possible, and content marketing is slow, as slow as marketing gets. So in this video, I'm going to share when it's safe to begin content marketing tactics, how much we spent, how we structured the team, and how long it took us to see results. Finally, I'll share how we transitioned from written content into video. #startups #slidebean #marketing -- 0:00 Content Marketing - Intro 1:01 Content Marketing - Finding Product-Market Fit as fast as possible 3:17 Content Marketing - Picking your arsenal 6:50 Content Marketing - Sharpen your pens 9:20 Content Marketing - Video Content -- Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

They struggle to describe their go-to-market strategy in a clear and focused manner. Usually, when startups are asked about their go-to-market strategy they’d answer something like: “we’re doing direct sales” or “we’ll do online sales.” That’s not a go-to-market strategy. Those are sales tactics.

Yes, you may have seen that Black Mirror episode where a robotic dog hunts people, and you may notice the ​uncanny resemblance with Spot​, the newest robot dog from Boston Dynamics. The similarity probably doesn’t mean anything other than a creative license ​from the creators of the show. But the truth is that forward-thinking companies like Boston Dynamics are bringing robots into our lives sooner than we probably expected.

We started our first company in 2011 and had no idea how startups worked. Never heard of venture capital, never heard of the concept of an angel investor. We were based in Costa Rica, where the startup ecosystem was pretty much non-existent. Still, our company was then accepted in @DreamItVentures Ventures in New York, which sparked a chain of events that led us to you watching this video. We know how to pitch because DreamIt was a crash course in how the startup ecosystem worked. It was also a soft landing in New York City that allowed me to build a network. One of the people responsible Steve Barsh, who you probably remember as a guest for some of our videos. Steve gave the intro talk at the program, and we remember Steve's talk distinctively, as it indeed was the beginning of the journey for me. Today we'll be chatting with Steve about how DreamIt had to pivot their model. #startups #Slidebean #DreamIt 0:00 Intro 2:07 What is an accelerator? 2:28 Pivoting DreamIt 5:13 Should entrepreneurs still go for Accelerators? 5:49 Does age matter when starting a company? 7:35 Is location important? 11:13 Being clever in more than one way Read the video transcription: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-podcast-accelerators?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

The Windows Phone: an $8 Billion fiasco We don't just make videos. Slidebean helps founders navigate Fundraising: The Slidebean Platform ► https://slidebean.com/accelerate Microsoft is back at it with phones. A foldable phone this time. It's been more than two years since Windows Phones were discontinued in 2017, and they have now released the Surface Duo. It is their take on the dual-screen devices trend that has been building up for a time. But this one is different for Microsoft. First, it's more of a mini-tablet type of device than just a phone. Most importantly, though, it runs Android instead of Windows. So, in the light of this supposed second round for Microsoft making phones, let's remember the OG Windows Phone and the epic failure that it was.
