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.

From hand-made computers to iPhones and iPods, Apple seems to have done it all. In 2018, it became the first trillion-dollar company, and along the way, it has reached cult-like status. 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.

Slidebean helps founders navigate Fundraising: The Slidebean Platform ► https://slidebean.com/accelerate Movie theaters have faced the existential threat of streaming services for more than a decade now. When services like Netflix or Hulu started booming, it opened a debate about movie theaters' future. Still, box office remained the most lucrative way of distributing movies, particularly blockbusters. But then 2020 changed everything, leaving movie theaters pretty much useless amid a global pandemic where people can't gather in public places The studio recently shocked the movie industry when they announced that their 2021 movies would be released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, their streaming service. It may sound simple, but it's a game-changer for the industry and a sign of the times. A decision like this could be the final blow to that centennial rite of watching movies in a dark room with a giant screen, blasting sound, and a hundred other people.

That's right, $30 BN. But just before he met with potential investors, he fiddled with the slides and changed the amount. The fund wouldn't be $30 BN. It would be $100 BN. The investors laughed out loud. He didn't. "Life's too short to think small", he said. And nothing about his journey to becoming one of the world's most prominent billionaires has been small. His company, Softbank, is a giant in multiple industries, with aggressive investment and fast expansion. But also, controversy and very costly mistakes.

Slidebean helps founders navigate Fundraising: The Slidebean Platform ► https://slidebean.com/accelerate What do you need to compete with Youtube or Instagram, in the market of casual video streaming, and at the same time compete with Netflix or HBO, in producing premium series and movies? Well, let's say you will need at the very least two things. First, money. A lot of it. And then maybe something unique, something that truly stands out. Quibi is the video streaming app that went just for that earlier this year, and it has been struggling to claim a place on the market. Yes, the money part they had. But the unique-factor, which they also claim to have, let's say it's very debatable. We will talk about Quibi in this Company Forensics and determine if this high-profile startup is as doomed as it looks to be. #startups #Slidebean #Quibi 0:00 - Intro 1:11 - Quibi: dumbest thing to ever cost a billion dollars 3:13 - Quibi: Bad timing 5:25 - Quibi: Celebrities everywhere 7:41 - Quibi: Two veterans CEO's against the odds Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-quibi?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow us Twitter aka X: http://twitter.com/slidebean LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/slidebean Instagram: http://instagram.com/slidebean Caya Twitter aka X: http://twitter.com/cayahere LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caya/ Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.
