Slidebean startups navigate fundraising: The Slidebean Platform ► https://slidebean.com/accelerate #startups #Slidebean #Amazon Not much can be said about Amazon that hasn't been said already. Still, the internet goliath is starting yet a new chapter in its twenty-six years lifetime. Jeff Bezos, the man who founded this internet empire and has directed it ever since has stepped down as CEO. He's not going anywhere, though. His power in the company and his influence in the American culture will likely remain untouched as he transitions to be an Executive Chair of the Board. He has said he plans to focus on new products and early initiatives. But, at least for the records, it is the end of a big paragraph in Amazon's history, which is ultimately the history of doing business online. Let's look back at some of the good and the bad in these twenty-six years of tech history, with Jeff Bezos at the head of Amazon. 0:00 Amazon - Intro 1:04 Amazon - From books to everything 3:40 Amazon - Prime: the biggest membership 4:52 Amazon - The good and the bad 6:46 Amazon - Half a million jobs in 2020 8:09 Amazon - AWS, the power of powering the internet 9:37 Amazon - Growth over profits --- Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-amazon?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.

    How honest is the Honest Company? | Sidebean

    How honest is the Honest Company? We don't just make videos. Try our presentation app for free! ► https://slidebean.com/youtube #startups #Slidebean #Honest Many of us know Jessica Alba today. She's a beautiful actress, a business mogul, and she just does not seem to age. And today, in 2021, she's commonly known as the founder of The Honest Company. This consumer products brand offers safe, eco-friendly products like diapers, a natural line of bath, skincare, home cleaning, etc. It's a go-to place for household products focused on safety and ethical consumerism. But back in the 2000s, Jessica Alba was an up-and-coming actress. Unfortunately, she didn't have the best critical reception. We have a feeling the girl knew there was more out there for her than just being a Hollywood star. The early 2010s weren't like today. Now, a celebrity announces a company or raises a fund, and people are banging down their doors to give them money. Back then, you had one lane and you did not stray, people didn't really take celebrity-sponsored companies that seriously. So how did this Hollywood actress breakthrough and come to IPO a company? -- 0:00 Honest Company - Intro 2:22 Honest Company - How it all began 3:41 Honest Company - Looking for investment 5:16 Honest Company - Rise to Success 6:37 Honest Company - Scandal and Lawsuits 8:31 Honest Company - The Rebranding Process 9:44 Honest Company - An Honest Survival 10:40 Honest Company - IPO and today -- 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.
