Segway: An overpriced mall cop ride | Sidebean
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. What happened to Segway. #segway #startups #Slidebean 0:00 - Intro 1:36 - Segway: Reinventing the wheel 3:02 - Segway: An overblown leak 4:20 - Segway: A marvel of technology 5:34 - Segway: Is it safe? 6:49 - Segway: A consumer market of one Read the article: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-segway?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here ---- - Join our Discord ► https://slidebean.com/youtube#discord - Book office hours with Caya ► https://slidebean.com/caya Let us improve your pitch deck: https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-design?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campai gn=video-content Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

Yet in this atmosphere of growth and opportunity, many were affected when all of a sudden the game-streaming platform Mixer, owned by Microsoft, announced that it was shutting down, recently in June.

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. Let’s dive in so you know how to tackle this and blow investors away. #startups #Slidebean #pitchdeck 0:00 - Intro 0:37 - Go to market strategy: Basics 1:32 - Go to market strategy: Startups need to focus 4:11 - Go to market strategy: The initial customer segment litmus test FREE Go-to-market strategy template: https://youtube.slidebean.com/gtm-strategy-template?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=pitchdeckerrors Subscribe to @DreamItVentures's YouTube Channel!

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.
