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. Let's talk about how the movie industry is changing for good. #startups #Slidebean #movietheaters -- 0:00 Intro 1:22 Sign of the times 4:48 Rethinking Hollywood 7:26 Box office vs. MRR 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/ This video was sponsored by Skillshare.

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.

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.

Slidebean helps founders navigate fundraising ► https://yt.slidebean.com/cul Book office hours with Caya ► https://yt.slidebean.com/zex -- Imagine you see a video on Instagram: it’s Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkwoski, Hailey Bieber, and other elite influencers, all having the time of their lives in the Bahamas, with beach, concert and party scenes. Even if you don’t know it, you want to be there. The video is an ad for the most luxurious and exclusive music festival ever: the Fyre Festival. When Kendall Jenner posts about it, it’s officially an internet phenomenon. It goes viral, social media goes crazy, and millennials get their bank accounts ready to buy tickets for thousands of dollars, as they don’t want to miss out. But as they arrive, they discover one of the most infamous scams of recent times. The luxury villas and just everything that was promised, didn’t exist. In exchange, they have to fight for a tent to spend the night, trapped on an island where their dreams turn into nightmares.

Why is Slack worth $27B to Salesforce? | Sidebean
Why is Slack worth $27B to Salesforce? - The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/slidebeanstartups10112201 - Try Slidebean free for a month! ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/free-month - Book office hours with Caya ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/caya-ceo A few days ago, one of the largest acquisitions in the history of software companies was announced. Salesforce, the customer relations management company, just got Slack for itself for a good $27.7 billion. That's more than what Microsoft paid for LinkedIn in 2016. It's also more than what Facebook paid for Whatsapp and Instagram, combined. We already made a video about Slack's valuation back in July this year, when it was already among the fastest-growing tech companies ever. The valuation back then was at around $20 billion. Six months later, this deal confirms that it's worth $7.7 more billion now. But it all comes with new questions. Who brings what to the table in such a merger? Is it a win or a loss for Slack? Is it an offensive or defensive move from Salesforce in a market where Microsoft seems to be the ultimate boss? Let's talk about it in this Company Forensics. #startups #Slidebean #slack #salesforce 0:00 - Slack & Salesforce - Intro 1:17 - Slack & Salesforce - But first: Why? 2:09 - Slack & Salesforce - A marriage made in heaven 3:37 - Slack & Salesforce - Who wins and who loses? 5:15 - Slack & Salesforce - War against Microsoft?
