    Spotify Pitch Deck: startup pitch deck design and teardown | Sidebean

    Spotify Pitch Deck: startup pitch deck design and teardownWe don't just make videos. Slidebean helps founders navigate Fundraising: The Slidebean Platform ► https://slidebean.com/accelerateToday we’re gonna be looking at the slides of a Swedish company most of you have heard of, probably even used recently: Spotify.The presentation we redesigned is not really an investor pitch deck per se. These slides were created by one of Spotify’s early developers, Jon Aslund, who joined the company in 2006. They were meant to recruit people for their team, pitching top talent at local universities back in Sweden.For the most part, this presentation is a regular pitch deck. At least up until the middle of its staggering 70 slides! After slide 35, the presentation becomes pretty technical, given the fact that this was addressed to computer software engineers.-- Thank you for watching this video.

Chances are you are actually sitting in one, right now.Officially the 'We Company' was founded in 2010 and VERY QUICKLY expanded to 836 locations (as of this writing), 15,000 employees, and over half a million members.It's the bright and classic startup Unicorn story. Except it isn't.In mid- 2019, the company filed the documentation to prepare for an IPO (Initial Public Offering), that is, to begin trading in the stock market. This required them to publish their so-far secret financials.Once the world had a look at their numbers, everyone quickly realized that the company founder and CEO, Adam Newman, had been selling smoke and mirrors. The company was not only far, far from being profitable, but Adam had been living an eccentric executive life that was costing the company millions.The CEO was ousted. The valuation of the company went from a shocking $75B to an estimated $8B or less, and SoftBank, their lead investor, is preparing to rescue/acquire/take control of the company to save it from oblivion.In this video, we are going to dig into the We Company story, their rise, and downfall, and of course, what lessons we can learn from them.This is a new series we call- Startup Forensics.#wework #startups 01:35 History of WeWork 04:31 Tech vs.Non-Tech Companies 07:42 The Downfall Want Caya to wear your Startup T-Shirt in the next video?

    Yik Yak: a deadly combination | Sidebean

    Yik Yak: a deadly combination► Start with the right foot. Let us design your pitch deck. : https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck ► Sign Up for Slidebean- 1 free months for the first 25 users: http://bit.ly/2KkRsltAnonymous messages and local context were the perfect mix to make the popular social network, YikYak, come to life in 2013. They were also the poison to kill it and to write on its tombstone the epitaph of: died too young and too soon.The social network devised by two young roommates at Furman University in South Carolina - yes, Facebook-style - went from popular to irrelevant. Brooks Buffington and Tyler Droll managed to sneak YikYak into the top 10 social media apps in the Apple App Store, shortly after its debut.The idea of ​​expressing their thoughts, without showing their name and allowing other users to read it 2.4 kilometers around, conquered young people from hundreds of university campuses in the United States. The magic not only dazzled the students, but also the investors who, in three rounds, granted $73.5 million in venture capital to Buffington and Droll. Not bad, right?But it was a matter of time. Anonymity, which affects everything it touches, turned the social network into a catalog of cyberbullying and sexist, racist and hateful comments. Did the formula for disaster grow as the app did? How is it that a startup valued at $ 400 million could not stop its fall? The attempt was made, but unfortunately, it was too late.This is Startup Forensics: Yik Yak.#YikYak #Startups #Caya 1:34 Case introduction 3:40 More muscle than their competitors 4:41 When did the ship start sinking? 7:12 What happened to them?

This was a real question on one of our Company Forensics videos. For someone outside the startup ecosystem, the amounts of money these companies raise just seem obscene. Some companies (Uber, WeWork) raise BILLIONS. Even smaller companies deal with rounds in the millions of dollars, and valuations in the hundreds of millions. So why do investors pour so much money into these tech startups?
