This was a real question on one of our Company Forensics videos. For someone outside the startup ecosystem, the amounts of money these companies raise just seem obscene. Some companies (Uber, WeWork) raise BILLIONS. Even smaller companies deal with rounds in the millions of dollars, and valuations in the hundreds of millions. So why do investors pour so much money into these tech startups? Today, I'm going to tell you why.#slidebean #startups #fundraisingRecommended videos:1) How to Create a Pitch Deck for Investors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB16xgtFmco 2) Seed Funding for Startups: How to raise venture capital as an entrepreneur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RAs9Y5wwDo 3) Demo Days: How to deliver a startup pitch deck - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO11PLB2UV8Slidebean’s Social Media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/slidebean LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/slidebean Instagram: https://instagram.com/slidebeanCaya’s Social Media: Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/caya/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/cayaphoto Twitter: https://twitter.com/caya_c137Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.Sidebean makes documentaries about startups, tech, and their impact on society.

    How Mission Impossible killed MoviePass | Sidebean

    How Mission Impossible killed MoviePassWhy MoviePass failed? This episode starts with a basic problem: people love going to the cinema but it’s very expensive. And, in order to solve this, one company wanted to disrupt an entire market. MoviePass tried to change the moviegoing experience altogether, with a simple idea. For a monthly fee, subscribers could go to the cinema once a day, every day. Cheap movies every day of the month? Sounds great, right? But, ironically, too many subscribers would eventually be a bad thing. MoviePass went from being a hit to entirely collapsing, in just THREE DAYS. How?

    The Death of Periscope and Meerkat | Sidebean

    The Death of Periscope and MeerkatToday’s episode of Company Forensics is about live-streaming apps, something that we all take very much for granted today as we’re not impressed anymore by seeing anyone going live on social media, to broadcast whatever from their phones. Literally, whatever... Which is probably part of the problem here. Meerkat and Periscope were somehow pioneers, but now, they’re gone. Why?

    The North Face: from Bankruptcy to Brand Success | Sidebean

    The North Face: from Bankruptcy to Brand SuccessIn this episode of Company Forensics, we’ll talk about one of the coolest clothing brands in the world: The North Face. It seems like the brand has existed for decades and that their high-end products last forever. And this is true. But The North Face has had a rocky history of successes and failures. The brand faced bankruptcy several times and, at one point, was rescued as part of a very, VERY cheap merger. Since then, The North Face has slowly risen to the top, where it stands today.

A seemingly booming economy now seems to be headed towards a recession, which will inevitably leave a lot of people unemployed across many industries. More importantly, 2020 is likely to represent one of the most essential 'resets' the economy will go through. This instability, this chaos, is a ladder; for witty entrepreneurs to find opportunities, to create or evolve their business and monetize this revolution. Thousands of jobs will be affected or disappear at all, and the world will need us to develop new ones.
