Gross vs. Net MRR Churn, and how is it different from Customer Churn. It's a real mess. So much so that for new company employees, I sometimes do a group class on 'understanding SaaS' to make sure they understand the language I speak after 6 years of running a SaaS company. I figured that instead of doing that every time, we could make a thorough video. So, if you are just joining the Slidebean team, welcome to the team!

What ACTUALLY happens during an IPO? - Startups 101 Pitch deck design services for startups looking to scale ► https://checkout.slidebean.com/community/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=SPAC The platform for founders to scale their startup ►https://slidebean.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=SPAC -"A Sober Look at SPACs" by the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance ► https://youtube.slidebean.com/HarvardSPAC Going public is the ultimate graduation for an entrepreneur. The black belt. The Academy Award. The Olympic medal. Listing your company in the New York stock exchange. Going public. And it’s also one of the most complicated, expensive, and dangerous processes a company can go through. Last year, WeWork almost went out of business because they tried to go public. More recently, as with everything in business- somebody found a legal way to cheat their way to going public, a method called a SPAC, and it may be one of the drivers to the new stock market bubble of the decade. But to understand SPACs we need to understand everything from publicly listed companies, so let’s look into the process a company like us would take to get here in today’s company Forensics.

So much so that 55% of startup employees in the US never exercise their stock options- which breaks my heart as a founder. Just like any legal startup document, this sounds like it's made deliberately complicated just to mess with you, but I promise you it's not. It's just that dealing with company shares isn't easy.

The creator economy (and the thin line we CAN'T cross) | Sidebean
The creator economy (and the thin line we CAN'T cross) We're not a Youtube channel. Our platform helps founders scale their startups ► https://slidebean.com/youtube #startups #slidebean #influencers Slowly but surely I’ve started to accept my place as an ‘influencer’. My Twitter bio says ‘accidental Youtuber’, and I very much believe that is the case. Because technically, as an influencer, I cheated my way to your screen. This Youtube channel was/is a marketing campaign for Slidebean: up until recently, it was an expense for the company. It was funded by our marketing budget. And don’t get me wrong, it has done wonders to get Slidebean in front of people, we have recovered that money tenfold; but as a self-contained business, this channel only started making money this year. We got to buy fancy gear, and build ourselves a studio, and hire a team, and fly places- which obviously made us grow faster, it would have taken me so much longer to build 300K followers by myself. So I’m a fan of the Sams, and the Johnnys, and the Kris’ that just built it themselves, on their talent, and the skin of their teeth. The Internet was just a megaphone to their skills and the content they produce. And for the longest time, the only way to monetize that talent was putting ads on it, or selling and endorsing things. But today we have Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee- platforms where people pay their own money to support influencers' craft. There’s also a shady world of internet gurus, using their influence to sell thin air. So this is an incredible new phenomenon that I’ve wanted to talk about for so long. -- 0:00 Influencer Economy - Intro 1:48 Influencer Economy - The First Influencer Campaign 3:49 Influencer Economy - The origins of internet influencers 7:21 Influencer Economy - How Instagram changed the game 9:02 Influencer Economy - The expert influencer 11:29 Influencer Economy - The lifestyle influencer 13:20 Influencer Economy - Advertising 14:46 Influencer Economy - Paying for 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.

Amazon: A company in its Prime? - Zyro: Get 89% off with SLIDEBEAN spring deal ►https://zyro.deals/slidebean We don't just make videos. 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.

Angel investors frequently ask “what’s your exit strategy?” And at the seed and Series A stages, often founders talk about their exit strategy unprompted. We think that’s a mistake. Early on you should be focused on building a big and impactful company and dominating your market. Do that and the right monetization event will come along. But from the beginning, it’s important to understand how exits work and what possible outcomes may look like. Most first-time founders don’t realize how, when, and why common exit scenarios unfold. So let’s cover the primary ways an exit can occur, why and when they occur, and how to maximize exit opportunity value for you, your investors, and your team. #startups #Slidebean #DreamIt 0:00 - Intro 1:17 Acquiring a Company 2:40 Where buyers come from 3:52 What investors want 4:54 Another type of exit: Soft landing 5:54 Getting acquired: what to do next? 6:45 A Public Company Subscribe to DreamIt Ventures YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/user/DreamItVentures Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-exits?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

I also have a couple of examples of companies that pivoted from one model to the other, and how the transition went. The world of startups was essentially transformed when we figured out SaaS. When companies pivoted from a one-time sale to a monthly subscription, a whole world of possibilities was unveiled. SaaS allows predictable revenue. It lets us estimate customer lifetime value with unprecedented accuracy. These days you can even raise capital or get a loan based on your MRR. So let’s get to it. #startups #slidebean #SaaS -- 0:00 SaaS Pricing - Intro 0:45 SaaS Pricing - Flat 2:11 SaaS Pricing - Tiered 3:43 SaaS Pricing - Usage Based 4:52 SaaS Pricing - Used Based 6:46 SaaS Pricing - Pivoting Models -- 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.

DoorDash: from origins to IPO (are they overvalued?) We don't just make videos. Slidebean helps founders scale their startups: The Slidebean Platform ► https://yt.slidebean.com/c4n Join the Startup Club, a crunch of startup news for busy founders 🕶️ ► https://yt.slidebean.com/qf5 -- Nowadays, with just a couple of taps, your favorite food is at your door. Delivery apps, especially in this hectic 2020, are a staple in our day-to-day lives. With thousands of restaurants to choose from, ease of use, and the comfort of staying at home, it's no wonder why these apps are such a success. But food delivery technology is also controversial. Accusations of monopolistic behavior and stingy earnings for contractors have surfaced lately. Plus, there's always the question: will we have to stay indoors for much longer? So, when delivery giant DoorDash quietly announced its IPO in late 2020, some were excited, but others were cautious. But, how did DoorDash get to this point? We'll tell you all about it in this episode of Company Forensics. #startups #Slidebean #doordash 0:00 - DoorDash - Intro 0:51 - DoorDash - Origins 2:40 - DoorDash - Growth and funding 4:37 - DoorDash - Big investments, bigger questions 6:44 - DoorDash - Controversies and profit? 9:24 - DoorDash - The famed IPO DoorDash pitch deck template: https://slidebean.com/templates/doordash-pitch-deck-template Read the video transcription + sources: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-doordash?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Check out Tom Nash's analysis on DoorDash IPO and many other interesting videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJwKCyEIFHwUOPQQ-4kC1Zw -- 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.
