How much do you plan to charge for your product? How much do you expect you'll pay to acquire a customer? How much time do you need to finish development, and how much will those salaries cost? The sooner you know how much extra cash you'll have, the sooner you can deploy it, and the sooner you can yield results, i.e., multiply it. In the startup world, weeks can make a world of difference. So the model that we use at Slidebean, the model that made us profitable, we are making it available to the world as a free download. We’ll show you how it works in this video. #slidebean #startups #FinancialModel Our Discord Server: https://slidebean.com/startup-cafe Let us improve your pitch deck: https://youtube.slidebean.com/founders-edition Sign Up for Slidebean - 1 month FREE: https://youtube.slidebean.com/free-month Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

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 | Sidebean
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.

We help startups present to investors. ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/shkreli #startups #slidebean #PharmaBro How do you become the most hated man in America? Well, first, you have to mess with people’s health. You also have to take to Twitter and troll everybody who criticizes you. Basically, be an a**hole. By the way, you can also take part in securities fraud and be happy that you end up in jail. Jail won’t stop you. In fact, you might even work from there. And, anyway, you’ll be out in months, and all of us, can’t stop you from doing any of this again.

To me, the role of a CEO is mainly enabling your team, enabling them to fulfill and excel at their jobs.

These days, that's what dating is all about. And it seems that one company is behind it all: Match Group owns the biggest names in dating apps, like Tinder and OkCupid.

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.

With each new release, people flock to the stores to be the first with the latest iPhone and be a part of the brand. But the story is much more than just technology. There are enough Apple stories to fill books, feature films, and Youtube channels, but this is Company Forensics, and today we are going to talk about that time when Apple almost went out of business.
