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. We'll tell you about Softbank in this episode of Forensics. #startups #Slidebean #softbank 0:00 - Intro 1:07 - Softbank origins 3:33 - Softbank, big risk, big payoffs? 5:33 - Softbank shaking up the world 7:04 - Softbank mired in controversy 8:18 - Chaotic recent times Join our Discord: https://youtube.slidebean.com/discord Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Recommended video: Small Business vs. Startup - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k26DOtwPN7s Let us improve your pitch deck: https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-design?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=video-content 8:16 should read 45B instead of 45M.

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 game is over now, but its legacy of monetization and addictive mechanics on video games is real. Like it or not, the video game industry has inherited a new business model from Zynga, the company behind Farmville. Let's talk about Farmville's heritage to the video game industry in this episode of Company Forensics. 0:00 Farmville - Intro 1:28 Farmville - Social games for busy adults 4:37 Farmville - Milking video games 6:41 Farmville - Pay to win and gamble mechanics Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-farmville?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.

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.
