    Fyre Festival: dumb planning or genius scam? | Sidebean

    Fyre Festival: dumb planning or genius scam? We don't just make videos. 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?

    Google killed the best product they ever had | Sidebean

    Google killed the best product they ever had Try ChartMogul and get $50/month in credits for 12 months.

We help startups present to investors! ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/Inbox #startups #Slidebean #Google This one kind of hurts. I liked Google Inbox. Many people did, and most reviews were positive to prove it. There was also a general outcry when it shut down. It almost got me to enjoy email altogether. And then, of course, Google turned it off. Back to square one, to traditional and burdensome email. If you think the Gmail app is friendly enough these days, just know that it is largely thanks to Inbox. Features like snoozing messages, auto-generated bundles, or the somewhat creepy but helpful suggestions of smart replies; were first implemented on the Inbox app. And, somehow, they felt more organic and fresher than now on Gmail. So, let's remember yet another addition to Google's prolific list of deceased projects and companies. One that was good and ultimately got sacrificed to make Gmail what it is today. Welcome to Company Forensics. 0:00 Google Inbox - Intro 0:46 Google Inbox - Reinventing the wheel 2:08 Google Inbox - A breath of fresh email 3:47 Google Inbox - The magic of snooze 6:03 Google Inbox - Goodbye Cool Email -- 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.

    A Fleeting Story: How Twitter Fleets Failed | Sidebean

    A Fleeting Story: How Twitter Fleets Failed We don't just make videos. Try our presentation app for free! ► https://slidebean.com/youtube Follow Caya on Twitter ► https://twitter.com/cayahere #Startups #Slidebean #Twitter Stories are usually posts that will just vanish usually after 24 hours. Before Snapchat introduced this idea of disappearing messages and content, back in 2013, every post on social media remained in the archives of the internet. Fast forward to 2021, and all of the leading social media platforms have their own stories feature but some of them may have been a little too late to the party. Twitter only came up with its version of stories in late 2020, when they introduced Fleets. It was pretty much the same stories feature people had been using for years. A roll of posts, on top of your regular feed, just like Instagram stories. The content you see there from the accounts you follow disappears after twenty-four hours. Fast forward to today, only eight months later, Twitter is calling it a day and shutting down Fleets. Let's talk about Twitter today and how it failed to adopt one of the most trending forms of social media for younger generations in today's Company Forensics. 0:00 Twitter Fleets - Intro 1:47 Twitter Fleets - A Brief History of Stories 4:30 Twitter Fleets - "We're Sorry, or You're Welcome" Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/story/why-twitter-fleets-failed?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content -- 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.
